General Inspection:

Visual inspection (Electrical)

1. Check that the connectors are properly connected and locked into position.
2. Disconnect and check the component connector.
3. Inspect pins and terminals for oxidations or corrosion.
4. Ensure that the pins and terminals are locked into the connectors and that they are not pushed
back out of the sockets.
5. Check the pins and terminal are not damaged (which can cause poor connection).
6. Check for the open/short wire circuits.

Visual inspection (Mechanical):

1. Check Sensor connected properly in their position.


2. Remove Sensor & check sensor condition if damaged replace.

Inspection using Fault code status check:

• If there is a Short circuit DTC in the ECU, to identify whether the fault is in wiring harness or
the sensor, disconnect the component connector, (creating open circuit) and re-read fault
code status to see if status changes (where applicable).

• If the fault code changes i.e. open circuit DTC occurs, issue is with the internal circuit
of the component.
• If the fault code does not change, issue is with the wiring harness.

• Connect a new sensor with the ECU and check whether the fault gets erased
• If the fault code gets erased, issue is with the internal circuit of the component.
• If the fault code does not change, issue is with the wiring harness.
