ABOUT THE WIRING MANUAL

The wiring manual outlines complete electrical network plan of the Mahindra Scorpio Vlx vehicle fitted
with MBFM unit

Wiring diagrams are technical drawings representing the electrical /electronic structure of the vehicle.
Understanding this manual is the quickest way to identify and repair a trouble, first time right. The manual
defines as to how the various systems are integrated and works, functions and operates. All the electrical
components are shown, including their locations, colors of connecting wires and connectors.

These vehicles can be identified by the new Cluster unit design –

Effective VIN - 92H14197

In spite of our best efforts to make the manual error-free, a few errors could have inadvertently crept in. If

Good electrical/electronic troubleshooting
process

When troubleshooting any problem related to electrical/electronic system, follow the 5-step
process –

STEP 1 – Verify the customer complaint

• Turn on all the component/functions in the problem circuit to check accuracy of the
customer complaint.
• Replicate the customer complaint
• Note down the symptoms
• Do not begin disassembly or testing unless you have narrowed down the probable causes.

STEP 2 – Read and analyze the wiring diagrams

• Locate the specific circuit diagram of the problem circuit

• Understand how the circuit is supposed to work by tracing the circuit from power source
through components on to ground.
• Check other circuits which share components/fuse/ground/switch with this circuit.
• Isolate the circuit/component with problem.

STEP 3 ‐ Inspect circuit/component with problem isolated

• Make a circuit test to check the diagnosis

• Narrow down the probable causes using troubleshooting charts/diagnosis charts

STEP 4 – Repair the problem

• Make necessary repairs as authorized

STEP 5 – Re‐check the circuit

• Repeat the system check to ensure that the problem is eliminated

• Check related circuits
• Ensure that the customer symptom is eliminated
