Toyota Corolla Repair Manual: Check open circuit
- For the open circuit in the wire harness in fig. 1, Perform a resistance check in step (b) or a voltage check in step (c) to locate the section.
- Check the resistance.
- Disconnect connectors a and c and measure the
resistance between them.
Resistance: 1 Ω or less
Hint
: measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness vertically and horizontally. In the case of fig. 2: Between terminal 1 of connector a and terminal 1 of connector c " 10 kΩ
or higher between terminal 2 of connector a and terminal 2 of connector c " below 1 Ω
therefore, the cause is an open circuit between terminal 1 of connector a and terminal 1 of connector c.
- Disconnect connector b and measure the resistance
between the connectors.
In the case of fig. 3: Between terminal 1 of connector a and terminal 1 of connector b1 " below 1 w between terminal 1 of connector b2 and terminal 1 of connector c " 10 kw therefore, the cause is an open circuit between terminal 1 of connector b2 and terminal 1 of connector c.
- Check the voltage.
- In a circuit in which voltage is applied (to the ecu
connector terminal), an open circuit can be checked
by conducting a voltage check.
As shown in fig. 4, With each connector still connected, measure the voltage between the body ground and terminal 1 of connector a at the ecu 5 v output terminal, terminal 1 of connector b, and terminal 1 of connector c, in that order.
- If the results are: 5 v: between terminal 1 of connector a and body ground 5 v: between terminal 1 of connector b and body ground 0 v: between terminal 1 of connector c and body ground therefore, the cause is an open circuit in the wire harness between terminal 1 of connector b and terminal 1 of connector c.

Disabling the TRAC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or snow, the TRAC system may reduce power
from the engine to the wheels. Pressing
to turn the system off may make it
easier for you to rock the vehicle in order to free it.
To turn the TRAC system off, quickly press and release
.
