Short-circuit
occurrence
section

Remove the blown fuse and measure the resistance 
between the load side of the blown fuse and the 
earth. Close the switches of all circuits which are 
connected to this fuse. If the resistance is almost 0 
ohm at this time, there is a short somewhere 
between these switches and the load. If the resist-
ance is not 0 ohm, there is no short at the present 
time, but a momentary short has probably caused 
the fuse to blow.
The main causes of a short circuit are the following.

• Harness being clamped by the vehicle body

• Damage to the outer casing of the harness due to 

wear or heat

• Water getting into the connector or circuitry

• Human error (mistakenly shorting a circuit, etc).

HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT 
MALFUNCTIONS

NOTE: If determining the cause is difficult, the flight 
recorder function of the M.U.T.-II/III can also be 
used.

AC300901

Intermittent malfunctions often occur under certain 
conditions, and if these conditions can be ascer-
tained, determining the cause becomes simple. In 
order to ascertain the conditions under which an 
intermittent malfunction occurs, first ask the cus-
tomer for details about the driving conditions, 
weather conditions, frequency of occurrence and 
trouble symptoms, and then try to recreate the trou-
ble symptoms. Next, ascertain whether the reason 
why the trouble symptom occurred under these con-
ditions is due to vibration, temperature or some other 
factor. If vibration is thought to be the cause, carry 
out the following checks with the connectors and 
components to confirm whether the trouble symptom 
occurs. The objects to be checked are connectors 
and components which are indicated by inspection 
procedures or given as probable causes (which gen-
erates diagnosis codes or trouble symptoms).

• Gently rock each sensor and relay, etc. by hand.

• Gently shake the wiring harness at suspensions 

and other moving parts.
