Wiring Diagrams - Read Wire Color / Connector Pin Location + Learn How To Read What ISN'T Written
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2020
- In part 2 of the wiring diagram series we answer a few questions that we had from part one, talk wire colors and pin locations, and get into a diagram that has some blank spots. By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to apply logic to a diagram to fill in the missing puzzle pieces. Enjoy!

Tech B is correct. There is continuity from the voltage source, through the primary winding, all the way to the end of the wire designated as terminal 50.
Hey France, that's right. Well said!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Right ... and to continue that train of thought ... the switched ground happens inside the PCM, so the switched power will go all the way to the component (most likely a mosfet which switches the ground on & off) on the PCM circuit board that connects to pin 50...??
You're a great instructor Mike. You explain it well and on a level we can all understand. Looking forward to part 3. My electrical knowledge level pretty much ends with the end of this video. I can only go up from here. Thanks for taking the time to put these presentations together for all of us viewers. They are fantastic.
Awww thanks Mike! I hope to get Part 3 out in the next few weeks. Stay tuned, and stay warm...winter is coming :(
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Thank you SO much for doing these videos. I have been so lost on this stuff for nearly 50 years and you are helping me to finally understand it. Thank you
Hey Randy, thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
This is shaping up to be a great series. There's a lot of information to learn, and I have to watch each video many times, but I've learnt things that have completely baffled me before. Thank you.
Hey Labrador McGraw, thanks a ton! That's the best part of RUclips. You can watch and rewatch as many times as needed!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Thank you Mike. I appreciate you producing this series!
Hey Steve, thanks for watching! Glad to hear you're enjoying it.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Mike - great video. Extremely helpful. I've had the opportunity to take other automotive classes and have found your teaching / explanation approach to be the best. Please keep the videos coming. And, hope you plan on continuing on the electrical diagnostic path onto more complicated situations.
Hey Frank, thanks!!!! That really means a lot. I am, stay tuned!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
So glad I came across this Channel !!! I enjoy watching these Videos , always nice to Refresh my memory, or get a Different perspective from another Technician !!!! I grew up in the Points Era , and Porcelain Resistor on the Firewall of Fords !!!
Hey Chris, thanks for watching! :)
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Mike, I applaud you. Many youtubers fail to give the basics. Admittedly I waited until I got really bored and decided to watch your wiring video #2 as I feel I pretty much "got it" but i have several techs working for me that surprisingly can not answer your simple question.
I guess I assume techs should know the basics but alas, they missed something in the past and have managed to fumble through basic schematics.
In my next class on basic electricity I will spend more time on schematics and pose good questions like you asked.
Oh, BTW, I'm one of those old guys that knows very well that you can burn up a coil if the points are closed and ignition is on. As a matter of fact I own one of those old vehicles and enjoy gapping the points!
Keep up the good work!
Hey Emmett, thanks for watching! I feel RUclips is a perfect platform for the basics. No one has to admit they don't know it and feel embarrassed. They can learn in the comfort of their own home without being judged for knowledge people assume they should have. I believe this is why the "basic classes" rarely fill up at training events...people are embarrassed to admit they don't know it. Anyways...a points car huh? Didn't think there were any left! Haha!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Thank Mike for the video I'm learning a lot. I'm Ready for the next one..👍💯
Hey William, thanks for watching! That's great to hear! Stay tuned :)
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Thank you so much Mike, I am preparing for a Mechanical II test and I feel as if looking at all of your videos are really helpful.
These are the best teaching wiring diagrams videos on RUclips so far!!! Understanding diagrams have always been my struggling point, these videos are starting to open up my understanding, please keep them coming!!! One awesome thing I learned is that when reading a diagram and looking at wire colors the first word is the wire color and the second is the stripe, WOW this sure makes things a little easier! Lol
Hey Shawn, WOW, thanks a ton! That's amazing to hear they are getting you where you need to go! Enjoy the series, don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

great part 2 Mike! One thing I thought I could add to this regarding wire colours (yep, I'm Canadian -- gotta add the "U"!!) .. Often you'll see in wiring diagrams "NCA" along side the wire. This NCA means -- "no colour available". I share this in response to your comment regarding "sometimes colours are wrong or different". This NCA label has perplexed me on a few occasions and in the spirit of your videos and sharing ... I thought I'd pass it along.
Great vids... I look forward to the rest!
Thanks MacDonalds Motorworks!!! Great tip on the "NCA', thanks for that!!!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Both tech are correct.
Tech A is correct because in this scenario, if Pin #50 wire short to power, your voltmeter will get a power measurement (about 12.3 V) at Pin #50 wire. Power wire will feed power to Pin #50 wire. To verify this, you need to disconnect electrical connector at coil #3 to isolate the Pin #50 wire. Also, tech B is correct because when the circuit is off, the voltage will pass through fuse, wire, primary coil winding, and pin #50 wire. No current flow, no voltage drop.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge & experiences! Have a nice day!
Well stated answer How Dy, nicely done!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Great presentation as always, thanks Mike
Thanks William!!!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
MY name is Bill I have enjoyed your videos as a long time automotive tech myself these are great instructionals for my kids I mentor at my Dealership. I did notice Aprox 7 mins in and 10 mins in you were skipping connector 1450 a Black wire coming up from ground G201 and although not having an "x" its still a connector to ground and the horn switch as well. Just wanted to let you know i observed that. Keep more electrical based videos coming there so important these days for Techs to have a solid base and growing knowledge of. Your great at presenting as well!!
Mike is a great teacher! 👍
Hey Nick, thanks man!

Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
The batt. is 12.6 volts,>voltage drop is = to .3 volts> which leaves a remainder of 12.3 volts after the coil near the pcm> the vehicle is in the run position, supplying power to the #3 coil> the pcm has not supplied ground. had the pcm supplied ground the voltage would have read a near zero to the least. I haven't seen the specs for the other coils, nor have I done a comparison between each coil, yet I know the coil acts as a resister causing a voltage drop of .3 volts. This in my opinion is normal circuit behavior. I replied too late to get my shirt... but nice video bretheren... I shall continue to follow your excellent videos!!!
Hey, great explanation! Totally would have won you a shirt if the contest was still going on. Thanks for watching!
~Mike
👍
@@GoTechTrainingplease teach me your ways electrical is so confusing 😢
Wait a sec, I don't know, so i'm not trying to correct you or anything, I just want to know... Is he right that the .3 volts can be used up by the coil without the pcm supplying ground? Because I thought without ground there is no flow of current, and therefor no voltage drop can happen, and that 12.3 volts must just be source voltage
Hi Mike, First of all your video content, presentation, your pronunciation, your expression, your appropriate word and sentence used on explanations are very good. thanks for your video. please continue the same.
Hey Selvam G, thanks for watching! Funny you say that, sometimes I feel like i'm just babbling to the camera ;)

Watching this video made me feel like I was taking a class in a classroom, that I had to pay for. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge so we can have the skills to make good diagnosis.
It is a great way of learning! Thumps!!!up!!!
Again great tutorial, thank you very much
Great Series Mike.. Had this show casting from my phone to the tv and when done it cut everything off with the chat..Not sure if my last comment made it thru but just wanted to say Awesome work into this Mike. Top Notch as always Bro.
Also, Ozzstar never disappoints... Lol The Iron 🤣
Hey Kevin, thanks man! Mine cut off too...ended up on an Eric O. video lol! He loves my wrinkles lol!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Great video and thanks for addressing my question.
Another thing I might add because I like to talk a lot LOL LOL. Is that I am 51 years old and I have been working on automotive and electrical automotive for many many years. I am a professional technician and I still watch videos and take classes anytime I get a chance because I’m open minded. I know that even if I know something I don’t know everything! I will listen to anyone older than me younger than me I don’t let Age get in the way! Because just because somebody’s younger than you doesn’t mean they don’t know something you don’t! This is got me far in life for sure!!!!
I am not sure if you’ll see this. However I’ve been studying automotive wiring for quite some time now with scanner Danner. I was a mechanic for many years and did a lot of mechanical type repairs when I decided that I was getting old I’m tired of fighting suspensions brakes hammers LOL. Anyway I had tested enough circuits that I just excepted that the power side of the circuit had a ground at some times and just to check and see if that was normal I checked many relay circuits with a DVOM. It’s awesome that you explain it That way and yes it may be confusing for some beginners. If you’re a beginner don’t let that throw you off are many instances where things are changing in an electrical system back-and-forth. Such as what they call a floating ground energy and power window switch. Anyway good luck thank you for the videos!
Another Nice video to add to the collection.

Great vid. A wk ago, I knew nothing. I've schooled myself reading and watching the explanations of what I see on my Ford wire diagram. (1996 Ford f-350 powrstrk w/auto trans, 4x4, reg cab long bed). If I had to answer the question rt now, I'd say the voltage drop from 12.6 is the concern and its where its being tested. I'd then back check each component until I found the 12.6 volts again.(With the key in the key on pos.) I'd guess its a bad ignition coil.
Btw, I just subscribed and look forward to the next lesson. Im hoping the answer to the quest is in next vid. I'll make comment then. Thanks bro✌️
Thank you so much for doing these video very useful to my job
Excellent Mike.Thanks
Hey, thanks a ton! :)
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Thanks for the informative videos. In a past video, the fundamental building blocks of circuits were stated as including a voltage source, a load, a control device, a circuit protection device, a complete return path to ground and so on. Do circuits involving controller modules providing the voltage source (5V ref) also have circuit protection devices?
For example, an Inlet Air Temperature (IAT) circuit diagram may just show the IAT sensor with a power and ground wire connecting the sensor to the Control Module. In this case, can we assume there is a circuit protection device inside the Control Module (a diode maybe?) and it's just not shown on the wiring diagram?
Hey Mike and hope you and the family are well. Great presentation and I'm sure your series will help techs out there understand wiring diagrams. Looks like no one has answered your question. I'll take a shot at it. I'll start with Technician A. It's possible that pin 50 could be shorted to another B+ circuit, but it's not likely. To disprove this theory, the technician could turn off the ignition switch and recheck pin 50 to see if the voltage disappears. If the voltage disappears, then this would disprove technician's A theory. On the other hand, if the voltage is still there, then there is a short to another circuit or the contact for the ignition switch is bad, being in a closed state all the time. To isolate which one of these is the culprit, C134 could be disconnected and recheck pin 50 with the ignition switch off. If the voltage is still there, then the multimeter could be placed on the connector (disconnected) pin upstream where the switch is located. If the voltage is gone, then the problem is a short to another B+ circuit. The multimeter could be moved downstream of the connector pin to verify that there is a B+ short to another circuit.
Technician B says that the primary circuit is okay. The only thing that is true with this statement is that the primary circuit is not open. Without a load being on the circuit, there could be 'hidden' resistance in the circuit. Also, the primary winding could have a shorted turn or two and without a load, having 12.3VDC just means the primary circuit isn't open. An amperage check of the primary coil using an oscilloscope would be the most conclusive test to confirm this if the coil has a shorted primary winding.
So, it's possible that technician A could be correct, but it's not likely, and technician B saying that the primary circuit is okay is not correct.
Hey, we are doing well, thanks! Hope the same for you! Your answer is 100% correct. I am accepting Tech B as an answer...but really the answer could any of the above. I do these things intentionally. It adds a bit of challenge to the guys who know what they are doing, like yourself, but it has the simplicity at face value for the people whom this may be their first time with this type of circuit. Either way, it's really just done in good fun and an excuse to hand out t-shirts to people :) As always, I appreciate the depth of your comment and the time spent on it! It's comments like this that make a more "simple" video so worth it for me!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor

This is agreat and FANTABULOUS video Mike. It was splendid and very straight forward. the direction of the compass of your video was very straight to the point. A true auto technician must rate it excelent bro. More elbow. But I have not find out the part 3 of it. How will i go about it bro. Thanks so much for your compliances.😘
Great video nice explanation of the diagram to the real world circuit. Subscribed
Hey VWTG100, thanks for watching :) Stay tuned for more!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
I am taking Tech B because the key is on the on position and current is traveling through the coil winding's inside the coil. Tech A is kind of right also because the power passes through the coil winding making seem or look like a power short. Great teaching videos.
Hey Bernarda, tech B was correct here. Thanks for watching :)

Hey Diddi_k,
So did you get the job? If not, no worries there are plenty opportunities out there!

@@GoTechTraining Thank you. Keep up with the great videos.
will you be covering real world specific issues like melting fuses and troubleshooting the tuff stuff where you can not realistically trace a wire for shorts
Hey VWTG100, the plan is to cover all of that!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
I don't know if Nissan does it anymore, but my 1995 service manual shows connector pinouts on most diagrams. They also include the connector's color, which makes troubleshooting easier. Like you said, each manufacturer is different, so it's like learning multiple languages.
Hey Joseph, that's always handy to have the connector color...unless they are all black, or whatever ;)
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
About to rewire my whole car, this is the best series I could have stumbled on. Thanks guys!
Ps. Mine has a coil and points. Ha.
I don't know, I'm just starting to learn from you
I hope thanks to you I will understand and repair mazda 3. After replacing it with a used engine thanks
Concerning the horn diagram. Between the horn assembly and ground G101 and above BK (black) there is the number 1250 (similar numbers in other location such as above D-GN the number 29). What does this number stand for. Also on the COP diagram letters and numbers such as CE307 or CBK04. Many Thanks Great Job.
My thought for ground to be controlled I.e. 1:) a hall effect switch determining engine trimming or 2:) a computation of two hall effects i.e. cam and crank position switch signal both of whichever could use said pin for report further wiring schematic reference would clear this question up. I am merely a transmission builder so what do I know. P.s. keep up the great lessons!!!
Hello Mike I'm learning a lot 👌 what program do you recommend best out of all the software out there ? Alldata / mitchell/ identifix or which one do you use?? Thanks Mike
Hey Edgar, thanks for watching! Hard to say which is the best...they all have their quirks...just like scan tools, right? I use AllData and Identifix currently.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Hi great video, this switch is on and pull up design ( I think)so it should have power in the on or hot position, and the pcm grounds it in side causing the coil to collapse and creating the secondary ht spark, is that right? And does the power still travel through there coil windings regardless,? I’m not sure , could you explain?
Tech B would be correct because the circuit is energized with the key on. #50 should be hot at Key-On. Tech A is sort of also correct, but the "short" is actually switched power which is currently ON, passing through the coil, LOOKING for ground.
Hey, thanks for watching! Well stated correct answer :)
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Hi Mike, saw this one late and just want to comment on the question:
This is basically an open circuit test, so tech B could be wrong; the primary windings might be shorted or the circuit may have high resistance and you'd still get a 12V reading on the dmm. Current ramping will reveal the truth.
Tech A might be right, the coil's primary could be shorted to power, but this would require further testing to confirm.
Greetings, stay safe.
Hey Juergen, better late than never ;) Ahhh you read through the question and questioned the question. Love it! There really wasn't a right answer or a wrong answer here...depending on how it was explained. I'm planning on expanding on it in part 3 :)
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Hey Mike, Really enjoying this series and looking forward to the future vids. One quick easy question... On the horn diagram, above each color code there is a number. The numbers are a little blurry on my monitor so I'm not exactly sure what they say. Some look like 29, others look like 26. Question is: what are those numbers? I thought they might be wire gauge but the numbers above the black wire are larger (1250, 1450) so I may be off in left field. Can you clue me into what those numbers are? Thanks!
Hey Trey, thanks for watching! Many times those numbers are the circuit identifier for the engineer, sometimes they are wire gauge. They really don't do much for us, that's why I didn't specifically mention them. Can't think of a time when I used them in a diagnosis.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Very nice videos series, thanks a lot. I would like to know what kind of program are you using ?
Hey, Mike. How are you doing? We haven't heard from you in a while. To find out what is not shown to us in the diagram, we need to know how the system operates. Some starting system has the pcm in a square box grounding the starter relay without showing the input such as park neutral safety switch. Thank you for always providing you great content. I hope that you are doing well. Happy new year to you and your family!
Hey BB MD, im still around. Just busy with a different project at the moment...but otherwise doing well, thanks! Hope the same for you!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
12.3 would be normal operation KOEO, so B. There is nothing pulling it to ground, so what you basically have when connecting a multimeter in this exact fashion is a loop to battery voltage with a small resistor. Ground it at pin 50 and you'll see it spark one time if the coil/plug are good, and if all components are serviceable for a 12-16v load @fused amperage. TechA just needs a little help.
Hey Christopher, yep, tech B is what I was looking for. Nice!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
@@GoTechTraining thanks, Mike. Ive got a background in writing diagnostic procedure and theory, so I might be cheating a little haha.
always good video thank. i had a couple of car that run on point vw1966 beetle 6 volt car .1972 volvo
Hey Dan Man, thanks for watching! Ohh a 6 volt car...almost as fun as the old positive earth cars...I really appreciate newer cars ;) haha!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
@GoTech me two
Tech B is correct, because the voltage will flow to the primary coil, through the coil and to the computer looking for a ground. With the circuit not grounded, there will be no voltage drop across the primary coil, and therefore will show battery voltage at the engine computer(pin 50)
Hey Bryan, thanks for watching! That's correct. Well stated explanation!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Thanks for the explanations, it is helpful. I can't see any small detail of the diagram, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I couldn't zoom in. Tried the full screen but still couldn't see the little details. Maybe you could enlarge the diagram when referring to a specific contact. Thanks
Hey D Veloso, thanks for watching! I'll see what I can do about that.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
🤸🤸🤸 waiting..
Worth the wait!?
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Mike, can you please clarify how this circuit is made/looped because I'm just looking at 2 lines/legs that both terminate at ground... does each line represent a circuit (2 wires making a connection?) and if so, where is the connection loop?
Thanks
when reading a schematic for wiring to a plug: do the colors read from left to right looking at plug with lock tab facing you?
There is no correlation from right to left. The pins have to be checked with a pin out diagram of the connector. The pin out could be the front side or backside and either left to right or viscera
Good job sir

Cyl 3 misfire. Swap ignition coil from 2 or 4 to 3. Run vehicle then check codes again. If it moved to 2 or 4 then the Ignition coil is bad. Could also do a spark plug swap but most of my misfiring issues were bad coils. Sometimes labeled brand new coils or remanufactured coils can have these problems.
Nice job, Mike! I knew the answer to that question, and had the explanation, but I'm just a wee bit late here, LOL! Still have another 50 emails to go through, and none of them are from RUclips ... even though I have it set to receive notifications! No clue what's happening there. I get them on the phone occasionally, but never by email anymore. RUclips!! Grrrr... Only reason I knew this vid was here is because I got the notification email from you at WellsVE.com . Anyway, just wanted to say, great job on this one! 👍🍻
Hey Smitty, better late than never! Sounds like the ol' RUclipss lettin you down :(
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
just curious if anyone asked about the bcm being in on this circuit, it can throw people for a loop
Hey Kevin, I mentioned it in part one where we first looked at the diagram...but yeh, you're right it can really throw people off.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Could you please explain how the body control module works? I am having difficulty in visualizing it. Thank you very much and you are the best
Hey, I think an explanation of the BCM is a much larger conversation than what we can get explained in this comment. Basically the BCM is the control device that controls whatever is tied to it. It will take inputs from varius sensors, make a decision with that data and send it the command to varius things.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
İs it normal when i disconnect the car battery & the ecu than the horn fuse to check if there is a short in waring harness with melty meter and its reed a short with body ( or grounded ) its fine ? Also the same thing with coolant pump when the uce plug in there is no short but when its plug out there is short in the pin of orange wire ( e92 bmw )
Thanks for this videos. On wiring diagrams most wires eg to signal lamps come from another connector. It does not say which wire is power & which is ground and none of the wires are black. In this case how do you know which wire is ground? How do you read schematics when there are many wires going into and coming out of ECU or instrument panel connectors? How do you tell whats an input or output? Thanks!
Great stuff. Question: how do we know 24-2 is the continuation of 24-1?
Hey FutureMe, thanks for watching! We don't know that for sure. Typically on the EURO stuff, the diagrams are continuations. On the domestics they are usually different systems and you'll want to follow the letter/circuit number.
