SPEED SENSOR (IN METER)
1. Jack up the front of the vehicle.
2. Connect a voltmeter between 2A (GR) terminal of
the control unit connector and a body ground.
3. Start the engine. Check that periodic voltage is de-
tected when turning'the front wheels slowly.
4. If periodic voltage is not detected, check the wir-
ing harness. Replace the speed sensor if
necessary.

SPEED SENSOR (AT TRANSAXLE)
1. Jack up the front of the vehicle.
2. Connect a voltmeter between R (O) terminal of the
control unit connector and a body ground.
3. Start the engine. Check that periodic voltage is de-
tected when turning the front wheels slowly.
4. If periodic voltage is not detected, check the wir-
ing harness. Replace the speed sensor if
necessary.
86U10X-234
REAR-TO-FRONT STEERING RATIO SENSOR
Check the resistance between the terminals with an
ohmmeter.
Terminal [ Resistance
GB—GO l 3.5—6.5 kfi
GB—GW ' 3.2—5.9 kfi

If
the resistance is not within specification, replace the
rear steering gear assembly.
86U10X-235
OIL LEVEL SWITCH (IN P/S RESERVOIR)
Check for continuity of the switch with an ohmmeter.
Fluid level Continuity
More than L No
Less than L Yes

If
the continuity is not within specification, replace the
P/S reservoir.
