    2. Measure the voltage between terminal 10 and ground.
      • The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage).

    Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage)? 

    1. YES  : Go to Step 4.
    2. NO  : Go to Step 3.

    NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-24 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-24 is damaged, repair or replace. Refer to HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION .

    Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter connector C-04 (terminal 10) and the battery in good condition? 

    1. YES  : Retest the system.
    2. NO  : Repair the wiring harness. Check that the combination meter is normally.
    3. STEP 4. Measure the voltage at combination meter connector C-04 in order to power supply circuit to combination meter (IG1 power supply). 
      1. Disconnect combination meter connector C-04, and measure at the wiring harness side.
      2. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.

    NOTE: Also check joint connector (2) C-01, junction block connector C-202 and C-215 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If inspecting joint connector (2) C-01 or junction block connector C-202 or C-215 is damaged, repair or replace. Refer to HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION .

    Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter connector C-04 (terminal 11) and the ignition switch (IG1) in good condition? 

    1. YES  : Refer to IGNITION SWITCH DIAGNOSIS .
    2. NO  : Repair the wiring harness. Check that the combination meter is normally.
