USING THIS PUBLICATION

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Always follow health and safety guidelines, specifically the Electrical Precautions detailed in the Workshop Manual.

Important

The information provided in this publication is for use only by competent, qualified auto-electricians. Good product knowledge is assumed, as well as the ability to access and use recommended test equipment and other reference material provided.

Test equipment and other reference material

The information in this publication should be used in conjunction with the recommended test equipment; refer to Workshop Manual. Other reference material includes: Electrical Wiring Diagrams (EWD), Electrical Revision Documents (ERD), Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) and the Workshop Manual.

Battery disconnection and reconnection

It is imperative that any information relating to battery disconnection and reconnection is followed; refer to the appropriate sections in the Workshop Manual.

Fault diagnosis

Always use the recommended test equipment and test procedures for correct and reliable fault diagnosis; refer to the appropriate sections in the Workshop Manual.

NOTE: Before starting electrical checks on the vehicle, ensure that relevant mechanical functions operate satisfactorily; refer to the appropriate section of the Workshop Manual.

Abbreviations and acronyms

Wire colour codes

The following list contains wire colour codes used on the vehicle harnesses.

Connector number suffix

To provide more accurate connector information, in some instances, a suffix has been added to the connector that identifies the vehicle harness derivative; refer to the Connector number suffix table below.

Note: The suffix does not always appear on the circuit. Take care to use the correct circuits appropriate to the vehicle under scrutiny.

Connector details

A page is dedicated to each connector, with the information presented in a standard format. Connector information comprises:

• Connector Designation – The designated reference, prefixed 'C'.
• CONNECTOR HOUSING SERVICEABLE – The part identified is available through the normal parts ordering process.
• CONNECTOR HOUSING NOT SERVICEABLE – The part identified is not available.
• Description – Usually derived from the component to which the connection is made.
• Location – Used in conjunction with the photograph to indicate the location of the connector.

Note: References to the LH or RH side given in this document are made when viewing the vehicle from the rear.

• Qualifier – For some connectors it is not possible to represent all possible conditions. An image may show a left-hand condition, the right-hand condition may be similar and is identified as such using a Qualifier, for example: LHD condition illustrated.
• Location Image – Shows the location of the subject connector. For convenience, some images identify more than one connector.

Note: Images do not necessarily represent the optimum method for accessing a connector, always refer to the appropriate Service Repair Operation within the Workshop Manual before attempting to access a connector.

• Face View – An outline of the connector housing, viewed from the front, showing pin numbers (if applicable).
• Part No. – The part number as it appears on the harness drawing (if applicable).
• Colour – If applicable, the colour of the connector housing is shown. NATURAL is used to describe connectors with a clear/translucent plastic finish.
• Gender – If applicable, identifies the gender of the connector pins (NOT the housing) as Male or Female. Generally, connectors mating directly into a component have Female pins.
• Type – Generic connector group.
• Cavities – Identifies the number of cavities within the connector.
• Wire Chart (Pin-out table) – A five column table, giving details of each wire within the connector:

Sample Wire Chart and Service Repair Kit Information

The five columns provides specific wiring information related to each connector.

1. Cav: The connector pin (cavity) number.

NOTE: Wires may not be fitted to all cavities.

2. CSA: The cross sectional area of the wire in mm².
3. Col: The colour of wire populating the connector pin.
4. Cct: Identifies the model or option which uses the wire. 'ALL' means applicable to all models in the range fitted with the feature or system in question. In instances where different models, features or systems require different colour wires to be fitted in a cavity, each instance of the cavity is included in the pin-out table.
5. Destn: The destination of the wire.

The last seven columns provide Service Repair Kit (SRK) information where applicable.

NOTE: When the seven columns are not shown, no SRK is available for that particular connector.

If a connector uses more than one type of terminal (pin), more than one service repair kit may be required.

1. Pre-Terminated Lead: Pre-terminated leads (connector pins with 90mm wire 'pig tails').
2. Extract Tool: Connector pin extractor tools.
3. Crimpers: Terminal applicator tool.
4. Wire Stripper: Wire cutter/stripper.
5. Heat Shrink Sleeve: Adhesive-lined heat-shrink sleeving.
6. Ident Sleeve: Wire colour identification sleeves.
7. Splice: Splice connectors.
