2 High-current fuse
There are high-current fuses between the battery
and fuse box, and between the battery and alterna-
tor. These protect circuits in the same way that ordi-
nary fuses do. If a high-current fuse is blown, most
of the vehicle’s electrical circuits become inopera-
tive.
2.1 Inspection
1. Place the starter switch in the “LOCK” position
and turn all other switches OFF.
2. For Type 1 high-current fuse box, pull down the
clamps , then lift the cover straight upward
to remove it. To install the cover, place it on the
box and press it straight downward. Align the
holes of the clips with the protrusions .
While still pressing the cover downward, retain it
with the clamps.
The amperage and protected circuit of each
high-current fuse are shown on the inside of the
high-current fuse box cover.
For Type 2 high-current fuse box, pry and
release the four locks of the cover with your
fingers and remove the cover. To install the
cover, push in the cover until the four locks click.
3. Check for a blown high-current fuse by looking
into the inside through inspection window .
If it is blown, immediately call an authorized
dealer and have them check your vehicle.
