HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION
CONNECTOR CONTINUITY AND VOLTAGE TEST
When checking continuity and/or voltage at the waterproof
connectors, follow the steps below to avoid poor connector
contact and/or reduced waterproof performance of connectors.
(1) When checking is performed with the circuit in the state of
continuity, be sure to use the special tool (harness
connector).
Never insert a test bar from the harness side, because to do
so will reduce the waterproof performance and result in
corrosion.
(2) When the connector is disconnected for checking the
female pin (the harness for checking the contact pressure
of connector pins should be used.
Never force the insertion of a test bar, because to do so will
cause poor contact.
(3) When the male pin is to be checked, apply the test bar
against the pin directly.
Care must be taken not to short-circuit the connector pins.
TERMINAL ENGAGEMENT CHECK
When the terminal stopper of connector is out of order,
engagement of male and female terminals becomes improper
even when the connector itself is engaged perfectly and the
terminal sometimes slips out to the rear side of connector.
Ascertain, therefore, that each terminal does not come off the
connector by pulling each harness wire.
CONNECTOR TERMINAL ENGAGEMENT AND
n
DISENGAGEMENT
Connectors which are loose shall be rectified by removing the
female terminal from connector housing and raising its lance to
establish a more secure engagement. Removal of connector
terminal used for MFI and 4 A/T control circuit shall be done in
the following manner.
COMPUTER CONNECTOR
