Electrical Circuit Inspection Procedure

• Continuity Check
• Voltage Check

If an open circuit occurs (as seen in [figure below]), it can be found by performing Step 2 (Continuity Check Method) or Step 3 (Voltage Check Method) as shown below.

Specification (Resistance) 

1 Ω or less → Normal Circuit

1MΩ or Higher → Open Circuit

1. Disconnect connectors (A), (C) and measure resistance between connector (A) and (C) as shown in [figure below].

   In [figure below] the measured resistance of line 1 and 2 is higher than 1MΩ and below 1 Ω respectively. Specifically the open circuit is line 1 (Line 2 is normal). To find exact break point, check sub line of line 1 as described in next step.

2. Disconnect connector (B), and measure for resistance between connector (C) and (B1) and between (B2) and (A) as shown in [figure below].

   In this case the measured resistance between connector (C) and (B1) is higher than 1MΩ and the open circuit is between terminal 1 of connector (C) and terminal 1 of connector (B1).

1. With each connector still connected, measure the voltage between the chassis ground and terminal 1 of each connectors (A), (B) and (C) as shown in [figure below].

   The measured voltage of each connector is 5V, 5V and 0V respectively. So the open circuit is between connector (C) and (B).
