12 INTRODUCTION - Precautions Before Service
(3) If an ammeter or similar instrument is to be connected
to a live-wire circuit, use tape to protect the wire, use a
i clamp to secure the wire, and make sure that there is
, no contact with any other parts.
(4’) Be sure to provide a fuse for the load circuit of the
optional equipment.

TUBES AND OTHER RUBBER PARTS
Be careful to avoid spilling any gasoline, oil, etc.. because if it
adheres to any tubes or other rubber parts, they might be
adversely affected.
LUBRICANTS
In accordance with the instructions in this Workshop Manual,
apply the specified lubricants in the specified locations during
assembly and installation.
BRAKE FLUID
Be careful to avoid spilling any brake fluid, because if it
adheres to the vehicle body, the paint coat might be discol-
ored.
DOING SERVICE WORK IN GROUPS OF TWO OR
MORE TECHNICIANS
If the service work is to be done by two or more technicians
extra caution must be taken.

INSPECTION
1. Visual and aural checks
Check relay operation, blower motor rotation, light illumina-
tion, etc. visually or aurally. The flow of current is invisible but
can be checked by the operation of the parts.
I
2. Simple checks
For example, if a headlight does not come on and a faulty fuse
or poor grounding is suspected, replace the fuse with a new
one or ground the light to the body by a jumper wire to deter-
mine which part is responsible for the problem.
3. Checking with instruments
Use an appropriate instrument in an adequate range and read
the indication correctly. You must have sufficient knowledge
and experience to handle instruments correctly.
INSPECTION INSTRUMENTS
In inspection, make use of the following instruments.
1. Test lamps
A test lamp consists of a 12 V bulb and lead wires. It is used
to check voltages or shortcircuits.
2. Self-power test lamp
A self-power test lamp consists of a bulb, battery and lead
wires connected in series. It is used to check continuity or
grounding.

HOW TO READ CONFIGURATION DIAGRAMS
(1) Connector symbols
A wiring diagram shows the installed condition of each connector in a schematic style. The connectors are
shown and classified as follows, depending on their locations and are marked by connector symbols.
In case connectors of the same shape (same number of wires) are centralized, their colors are indicated for
identification.

FUEL GAUGE
Measure the resistance value between t.he terminals by using
an ohmmeter.
Standard value :
l-2 terminals:
2-3 terminals:
l-3 terminals: 23-27 R
122-148 Sz
100-120 IR
Caution
If there is a malfunction of the ground contact of the
voltage regulator even once during vehicle operation,
the excessive current flowing through the heat coil of
the water temperature gauge and the fuel gauge will
cause permanent distortion of the bimetal, resulting in
the indications being consistently lower than the actual
value.
For this reason, therefore, be sure to make the earth
contact securely.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Measure the resistance value between the terminals by using
an ohmmeter.
Standard value:
Bimetal type
l-2 terminals: 50-80 n
SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATION
2. INSTALLATION OF SPEEDOMETER CABLE
Insert the cable until its stopper properly fits to the
speedometer groove.
Caution
Poor installation of the cable may cause a fluctuating
meter pointer, or noise and a damaged harness inside
the instrument panel.
