How to Read Wiring Diagram: Description: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki Equator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
ITEM DESCRIPTION CHART

Number Item Description
1 Power condition
  • This shows the condition when the system receives battery positive voltage (can be operated).
2 Fusible link
  • The double line shows that this is a fusible link.
  • The open circle shows current flow in, and the shaded circle shows current flow out.
3 Fusible link/fuse location
  • This shows the location of the fusible link or fuse in the fusible link or fuse box. For arrangement, refer to "POWER SUPPLY DIAGRAM ".
4 Fuse
  • The single line shows that this is a fuse.
  • The open circle shows current flow in, and the shaded circle shows current flow out.
5 Current rating
  • This shows the current rating of the fusible link or fuse.
6 Connectors
  • This shows that connector E3 is female and connector M1 is male.
  • The G/R wire is located in the 1A terminal of both connectors.
  • Terminal number with an alphabet (1A, 5B, etc.) indicates that the connector is SMJ connector. Refer to WIRING SYSTEMS , SMJ (SUPER MULTIPLE JUNCTION).
7 Optional splice
  • The open circle shows that the splice is optional depending on vehicle application.
8 Splice
  • The shaded circle shows that the splice is always on the vehicle.
9 Illustration crossing
  • This arrow shows that the circuit continues to an adjacent illustration.
  • The A will match with the A on the preceding or next illustration.
10 Common connector
  • The dotted lines between terminals show that these terminals are part of the same connector.
11 Option abbreviation
  • This shows that the circuit is optional depending on vehicle application.
12 Relay
13 Connectors
  • This shows that the connector is connected to the body or a terminal with bolt or nut.
14 Wire color
  • This shows a code for the color of the wire.
B = Black
W = White
R = Red
G = Green
L = Blue
Y = Yellow
LG = Light Green
BR = Brown
OR or O = Orange
P = Pink
PU or V (Violet) = Purple
GY or GR = Gray
SB = Sky Blue
CH = Dark Brown
DG = Dark Green
When the wire color is striped, the base color is given first, followed by the stripe color as shown below:
Example: L/W = Blue with White Stripe
15 Option description
  • This shows a description of the option abbreviation used in the illustration.
16 Switch
  • This shows that continuity exists between terminals 1 and 2 when the switch is in the A position. Continuity exists between terminals 1 and 3 when the switch is in the B position.
17 Assembly parts
  • Connector terminal in component shows that it is a harness incorporated assembly.
18 Cell code
  • This identifies each article of the wiring diagram by location, system and wiring diagram number.
19 Current flow arrow
  • Arrow indicates electric current flow, especially where the direction of standard flow (vertically downward or horizontally from left to right) is difficult to follow.
  • A double arrow shows that current can flow in either direction depending on circuit operation.
20 System branch
  • This shows that the system branches to another system identified by cell code (article and system).
21 Illustration crossing
  • This arrow shows that the circuit continues to another illustration identified by cell code.
  • The C will match with the C on another illustration within the system other than the next or preceding illustrations.
22 Shielded line
  • The line enclosed by broken line circle shows shield wire.
23 Component box in wave line
  • This shows that another part of the component is also shown on another page (indicated by wave line) within the system.
24 Component name
  • This shows the name of a component.
25 Connector number
  • This shows the connector number.
  • The letter shows which harness the connector is located in.
  • Example: : main harness. For detail and to locate the connector, refer to HARNESS LAYOUT . A coordinate grid is included for complex harnesses to aid in locating connectors.
26 Ground (GND)
  • The line spliced and grounded under wire color shows that ground line is spliced at the grounded connector.
27 Ground (GND)
  • This shows the ground connection. For detailed ground distribution information, refer to GROUND DISTRIBUTION .
28 Connector views
  • This area shows the connector faces of the components in the wiring diagram on the illustration.
29 Common component
  • Connectors enclosed in broken line show that these connectors belong to the same component.
30 Connector color
  • This shows a code for the color of the connector. For code meaning, refer to wire color codes, Number 14 of this chart.
31 Fusible link and fuse box
  • This shows the arrangement of fusible link(s) and fuse(s), used for connector views of "POWER SUPPLY DIAGRAM ". The open square shows current flow in, and the shaded square shows current flow out.
32 Reference area
  • This shows that more information on the Super Multiple Junction (SMJ) and Joint Connectors (J/C) exists. Refer to "REFERENCE AREA " for details.
