Wiring Harness and Connector Inspection

  1. Reproducing test
  2. Perform symptom simulation test on the basis of user's condition. Refer to the below factors.
  3. Inspect the connection condition of between connectors.
  4. Inspect the failure between connectors by visual check and contact pressure check.
  5. Inspect the Continuity of the wiring harness.
  6. Disconnect both ends connector of wiring harness, measure resistance between one connector terminal and other.

Notice : Measure the resistance while slightly shaking wire harness vertically and horizontally.

It is rare case wiring harness is broken at the middle of it, and most cases occur at the connector.
  1. Inspect the short circuit of the wiring harness.
  2. Disconnect the connectors of the wiring harness at both ends, measure resistance between the applicable terminals of the connector and body earth.
    Measure the resistance between one terminal an another terminal in the same connector.(Except between power supply or between earth).

Notice : Measure the wiring harness while slightly shaking vertically and horzontally.

It is usual case of the short circuit that wiring harness is crowded body and clamping failure.
  1. Temporary connection failure of the connector.
  2. It is thought that temporally the connection failure of the connector is cause when you can not decide cause of DTC detection.
    Therfore make sure to inspect and clean the connector and delete the memorized DTC.

Road Test

Road test is to diagnosis failure symptom accurately and check the failure symptom after procedure.
Confirm whether below condition before road test. Oil temperature is hot condition (50~80°C).
  1. D range test
  2. "P" range test
  3. Park vehicle on a gradient (more than 5°), shift into the "P" range and release parking brake.
    Then, check to see no moving vehicle by operation of parking lock pawl.

Function Check

Confirm whether below condition before function check.

Stall Test

Stall test' purpose is to inspect overall performance of A/T and engine by measuring the stall speed in "D" and "R" range.
  1. Chock 4 Wheels and apply parking brake fully, lock vehicle perfectly.
  2. Fully pressed on foot brake pedal with left foot.
  3. Shift into "D" and "R" range, fully press on accelerator pedal with right foot.
Quickly read stall speed at this time.
Standards
2390 ± 150 rpm

Notice : Do not continuously run longer than 5 sec because of extreme increasing oil temp.

less than 0.7 sec
"N" → "R"
