(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:

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.

INCLINOMETER
OUTLINE
The inclinometer is an instrument which indicates the forward
or backward inclination (pitching) or side to side inclination
(ding) of vehicle.
Motion of a pendulum in the system is displayed on the
system. The pitching and rolling pointer is supported by a
double support mechanism in which the rolling fulcrum is
supported in such a way as to be rotative around the case and
the pitching fulcrum supported on the rolling system
CONSTRUCTION
The inclinometer consists of an outer case which inclines with
the vehicle, a pointer which is provided in an oil case and
always maintains a level position, and a spherical dial. The
spherical dial is coupled through the dial support plate to the
rolling damper plate. The rolling damper plate is swivel bearing
coupled to a stationary frame by the center axis, so it can
incline side-to-side, but is always held in a level position by a
pendulum. The pointer is coupled with the pitching damper
plate.
Since the pitching damper plate is swivel bearing coupled to
the rolling damper plate by the center axis, it can incline
forward and backward, but is always maintained in a level
position by the pendulum.
OPERATION
The side-to-side inclination angle should be read on a scale of
the front panel as indicated by the horizontal centerline of the
spherical dial, whereas the forward or backward inclination
angle should be read on a scale of the spherical dial as
indicated by the pointer.
