Product Usage Instructions

Wiring Diagrams

Wiring diagrams provide visual representations of the electrical connections in the product. They show different symbols to represent components and their connections. The symbols used include:

Entire component shown: This symbol represents the complete component.
Part of component shown: This symbol represents only a part of the component.
Component with screw terminals: This symbol indicates that the component has screw terminals for wire connections.
Component case attached directly to metal part of car (grounded): This symbol represents a component case that is directly attached to a metal part of the car, which ensures grounding.
Connector attached to component: This symbol indicates that a connector is attached to the component.
Connector attached to component lead (pigtail): This symbol represents a connector attached to a pigtail, which is a short wire lead.

Hotspots in Wiring Diagrams

Wiring diagrams may contain green hotspots, which are hyperlinks. Clicking on a hotspot opens the navigation tree, where you can find documents related to the selected component.

Navigation Tree Symbols

The navigation tree in the product manual uses different symbols to represent various document types:

Wiring Diagrams: This symbol indicates a wiring diagram document.
Connector Views: This symbol represents connector views, showing how connectors are configured.
Functional Tests: This symbol indicates documents related to functional tests of the product.
Component Locations: This symbol represents documents that provide information about the locations of different components in the car.
Pin Assignments: This symbol indicates documents that provide pin assignments for connectors.
Functional Descriptions: This symbol represents documents that provide functional descriptions of the product.
Measuring Devices: This symbol indicates documents related to measuring devices used with the product.
Help Texts: This symbol represents documents that provide helpful information and instructions for using the product.
Desired Values: This symbol indicates documents that provide desired values and specifications for the product.

FAQ

Q: Where can I find the wiring diagrams for the product?

A : The wiring diagrams can be found in the navigation tree under the “Wiring Diagrams” section. Click on the corresponding hotspot in the diagram or navigate to the “Wiring Diagrams” document type in the navigation tree.

Q: How do I interpret the wire colors in the wiring diagrams?

A: The wire colors used in the wiring diagrams are represented by abbreviations and their corresponding translations. For example, “BL” represents blue (Blau), “BR” represents brown, and so on. Refer to the specifications section for a complete list of wire colors and their translations.

Q: What does the symbol “Component with screw terminals” mean?

A : The symbol “Component with screw terminals” indicates that the component in the wiring diagram has screw terminals for making wire connections. Ensure proper connection by securely tightening the wires to these screw terminals.

Q: How can I access the documents related to a specific component in the wiring diagram?

A: By clicking on a hotspot (green hyperlink) in the wiring diagram, the navigation tree will open at the corresponding position. There, you will find documents belonging to the selected component, such as wiring diagrams, connector views, functional descriptions, and more.
