General Troubleshooting Information
Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay
box.
2. Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and
clean and tight connections.
INOTICEl
• Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery
ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
• Do not attempt to crank the engine with the
battery ground cable loosely connected or you
will severely damage the wiring.
3. Check the alternator belt tension.
Handling Connectors
• Make sure the connectors are clean and have no
loose wire terminals.
• Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with
grease (except watertight connectors).
• All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
A
• Some connectors have a clip on their side used to
attach them to a mount bracket on the body or on
another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
• Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected
unless you first release the lock and remove the
connector from its mount bracket (A).
• Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their
wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
• Always reinstall plastic covers.
• Before connecting connectors, make sure the
terminals (A) are in place and not bent.
