7) After it isconfirmed through steps 1) to 5) that oxygen sensor sends signals to ECM properly, check feed
back signal according to the following procedure. If feed back system operates properly, ECM should
send out feed back signal.
a) Connect an ohmmeter between terminal @I and body (ground). Be sure to connect positive (+) prod
of the ohmmeter to body (ground) and negative (-) prod to terminal @J as shown in below figure
and never connect the other way around.
NOTE:
For this check, cancel switch must be OFF (“CHECK ENGINE” light off).
b) If indicator of ohmmeter deflects when connected as described in the above step, it means that ECM
sends out feed back signal, that is, feed back system operates properly.
NOTE:
If indicator doesn’t deflect at all, reverse connection (positive prod to terminal @ and negative prod to
body) and check.
In this state, turning ON cancel or check switch causes “CHECK ENGINE” light to flash. If “CHECK
ENGINE” light does not flash, wire harness, bulb of light or cancel/check switch may be defective.
8) After checking, install ECM to instrument main panel, and make sure coupler is connected to ECM
securely.

INSPECTION
1) Trouble diagnosis
Symptom
1. Lights will not come on in either left or
right group of light.
2. Hazard light comes on but turn signal
lights will not.
3. No light comes on; or lights light up but
do not flicker.
4. Turn signal lights are satisfactory, but
hazard light will not come on.
5. Flickering freueqncy is erratic, or lights
remain lit.
6. Turning on hazard warning switch lights up
only one group of lights.
2) Turn signal switch
Using circuit tester, check for continuity
between each pair of terminals by referring to
the chart given below and figure at the right
for each position of turn signal switch lever.
Discontinuity means that contact points are
burnt or otherwise defective in the switch.
For example, switch is in sound condition if
continuity is noted between terminals 2 and
3, with lever in right-turn position, and
between terminals 1 and 3, with lever in left-
turn position.
Possible cause
Fusible link is blown off.
Open circuit (due to poor point contact) in turn
signal dimmer switch.
Defective relay unit.
Open circuit in hazard warning switch.
Light bulbs are defective or improperly grounded.
Defective contact in dimmer switch.

3) Automatic stop action test
Connect yellow terminal of motor to positive
@ battery terminal, and put a jumper
between Blue/White (Blue/Black) and Blue
terminals to see if motor output shaft comes
to a halt at a certain, not just any, angular
position. That position corresponds to start-
ing position of the blade. Using jumper,
stop motor a number of times to make sure
that motor stops at the same position each
time.

1. Disconnect wiper & washer switch coupler.
2. Turn wiper switch to “I NT” position.
3. Connect positive battery terminal to

21-5. WATER TEMPERATURE METER
AND GAUGE
The water temperature meter is located in the
combination meter and its gauge unit on the
inlet manifold.
The gauge unit shows different resistance values
depending on the coolant temperature. This
causes a current f lowing through the temperature
meter coil to change, controlling the meter
pointer. That is, when the coolant temperature
is raised, the gauge unit resistance is decreased
with more current flowing through the meter
coil, raising the meter pointer upward from the
“C” position.

OPERATION
Brake fluid level warning lamp circuit consists of
brake fluid level switch installed in master
cylinder reservoir, brake fluid level warning lamp
in gage cluster and check relay.
Also, this circuit is additionally provided with
parking brake switch which warns that parking
brake is applied.when engine is stopped,
warning lamp comes on, if ignition switch is
turned ON and parking brake is applied.
For bulb check, warning lamp comes on briefly
during engine starting regardless of brake fluid
level position and parking brake operation.
Because point of check relay is closed.
After engine is started, release parking brake.
If lamp gose off, brake fluid level is adequate.
When warning lamp dose not operate, use circuit
diagram as reference to check bulb, wiring, etc.

respectively for several seconds, urging the
driver to wear his seat belt. After several seconds
passed, the lamp goes OFF and the buzzer stops
sounding whether the seat belt is worn or not.
