00-11 Precautions:
• When taking measurements at electrical connectors
using a tester probe, be sure to insert the probe (2)
from the wire harness side (backside) of the
connector (1).
• When connecting meter probe (2) from terminal side
of coupler (1) because it can’t be connected from
harness side, use extra care not to bend male
terminal of coupler of force its female terminal open
for connection.
In case of such coupler as shown connect probe as
shown to avoid opening female terminal.
Never connect probe where male terminal is
supposed to fit.
• When checking connection of terminals, check its
male half for bend and female half for excessive
opening and both for locking (looseness), corrosion,
dust, etc.
• Before measuring voltage at each terminal, check to
make sure that battery voltage is 11 V or higher. Such
terminal voltage check at low battery voltage will lead
to erroneous diagnosis.
