CONNECTOR CONTINUITY AND VOLTAGE TEST
Required Special Tools:
- MB991219: Test Harness Set
- MD998459: Test Harness
Follow the steps below to avoid causing poor connector contact and/or reduced waterproof performance of connectors when checking continuity and/or voltage at waterproof connectors.
| caution | Never backprobe a waterproof connector. Backprobing a connector may cause the terminals to corrode, deteriorating circuit performance. |
1. If the circuit to be checked is a closed state, use a special tool like MD998459.
| caution | Forcing the probe into the terminal may open the terminal, causing intermittent or poor contact and creating an open circuit. |
2. If the connector is disconnected for checking and the facing part is the female pin side, use an appropriate male terminal for checking the contact pressure of connector pins (like MB991219).
| caution | Do not simultaneously contact more than one terminal with the probe. Contacting two or more terminals at the same time may damage a circuit, possibly to the point of starting an electrical fire. |
3. If the facing part is the male pin side, either carefully touch the probe to the pin so it does not accidently contact other pins, or use an appropriate female terminal.
