Toyota Corolla (E120): Check short circuit

  1. If the wire harness is ground shorted as shown in fig. 5, Locate the section by conducting a resistance check with the body ground in step (b).

  1. Check the resistance with the body ground.
  1.  Disconnect connectors a and c and measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of connector a and the body ground.

    Resistance: 10 kΩ or higher

Hint

: measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness vertically and horizontally. In the case of fig. 6: Between terminal 1 of connector a and body ground " below 1 Ω

between terminal 2 of connector a and body ground " 10 kΩ

or higher therefore, the cause is a short circuit between terminal 1 of connector a and terminal 1 of connector c.

  1. Disconnect connector b and measure the resistance between terminal 1 of connector a and the body ground, and terminal 1 of connector b2 and the body ground.

    In the case of fig. 7: Between terminal 1 of connector a and body ground " 10 kw or higher between terminal 1 of connector b2 and body ground " below 1 w therefore, the cause is a short circuit between terminal 1 of connector b2 and terminal 1 of connector c.

    Inspection procedure


    Hand–held tester: 1 Check operation of stop light Check if the stop lights go on and off normally when the brake pedal is depressed and released. 2 Inspect stop light switch assy Check the resistance between the terminals when the switch is turned on and off. Standard: ...

    Precaution
    Caution: the corolla is equipped with srs, which comprises a driver airbag, front passenger airbag and side airbag. Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause the srs to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Fu ...

    For vehicles equipped with mobile communication system
    Install an antenna as far as possible away from the ecu and sensors of the vehicle’s electronic systems.  install an antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 In.) Away from the ecu and sensors of the vehicle’s electronic systems. For details of the ecu and sensors locations, refer ...
