ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS AND WIRING INSPECTION
000283
Electrical Connector Inspect
000283
The following background information is related to this procedure:
1. Many operational procedures and diagnostic code procedures in this troubleshooting guide will instruct you to
check a specific electrical connector.
2. Intermittent electrical problems are often caused by poor connections. Always check for an active diagnostic
code before breaking any connections. Also, always check for an active diagnostic code after connector is
reconnected in order to verify that problem disappears.
3. Simply disconnecting connectors and then reconnecting connectors can temporarily solve a problem at times.
If this occurs, likely causes are loose terminals, bent terminals, improperly crimped terminals, corrosion, or
improper harness routing.
4. Original source of problem must then be identified in order to ensure that problem does not recur.
5. Procedure to inspect connectors and wiring harnesses for damage, abrasion, moisture, corrosion, and
incorrect attachment can be found in this work package.
6. Perform each of the tests and inspections to identify suspected circuit, harness, and connection.
