INSPECTION OF MIRROR DEFOGGER
INSPECT MIRROR DEFOGGER(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
7 and the negative (±) lead to terminal 8.
(b) Check that the mirror becomes warm.
HINT: It will take a short time for the mirror to become warm.
If the mirror does not become warm, replace the mirror as-
sembly.
Troubleshooting
You will find the cause of trouble more easily using the table shown below. In this table, the number indicate
the order priority of the causes in trouble. Check each part in the order s\
hown. If necessary, replace the parts.

*1: The power source is supplied to the actuator (doorlock motor, luggage compartment door opener mo-
tor) through the theft deterrent and door lock ECU.
Accordingly, if a short circuit of the W/H or actuator
occurs in the actuator circuit, the DOOR fusible link
may become OPEN, so also inspect the actuator
(door lock motor circuit on page BE±380, and the
luggage compartment door opener motor circuit on
page BE±382 ).
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1Check DOOR fuse.
C
OK
P1. Remove the No. 1 under cover and LH lower pad.

Check for short in all the harness and components con-
nected to the DPPR fusible link (See attached wiring dia-
gram). *1
2Check voltage between terminal +B2 of ECU connector and body ground.
C
OK
P1. Remove No. 1 under cover and heater duct.
2. Disconnect the theft deterrent and door lock ECU connector.
Measure voltage between terminal +B2 of ECU connec-
tor and body ground.
Voltage: 10 ± 14 V
Proceed to next circuit inpsection shown on matrix chart
(See page BE±371).
Check and repair harness and connectors be-
tween ECU and battery (See page IN±27).

Description
The power source supplies power to each of the vehicle's electrical devices. It is composed of the battery, fuses
and relays, which are located centrally at relay block No. 2 and relay block No. 6 i\
n the engine compartment
and junction block No. 1 relay block No. 4 and relay block No. 5 in the \
cabin near the driver's feet.

8. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITH LOAD(a) With the engine running at 2,000 rpm, turn on the highbeam headlights and place the heater blower switch at
ºHIº.
(b) Check the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage: 30 A or more
If the ammeter reading is less than standard amperage, re-
pair the alternator. (See page CH±9)
HINT: With the battery fully charged, the indication will some-
times be less than standard amperage.

CHECK AND REPLACEMENT OF
ENGINE COOLANT
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR TANK
The coolant level should be between the ºLOWº and ºFULLº
lines at low temperature.
If low, check for leaks and add coolant up to the ºFULLº line.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY There should be no excessive deposits of rust or scales
around the radiator cap or radiator filler hole, and the coolant
should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the coolant
3. REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT (a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not
remove it while the engine and radiator are still hot, as
fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) Drain the coolant from the radiator drain cock andengine drain plug.
(c) Close the drain cock and plug.
Torque (Engine drain plug):
29 NVm (300 kgf Vcm, 22 ft Vlbf)
(d) Fill the system with coolant.
w Use a good brand of ethylene±glycol base coolant,
mixed according to the manufacturer's direction.
w Using coolant which includes more than 50 %
ethylene±glycol (but not more than 70%) is
recommended.
NOTICE:
w Do not use alcohol type coolant.
w The coolant should be mixed with demineralized water or
distilled water.
Coolant capacity (w/ Heater): M/T 8.5 liters (9.0 US qts, 7.5 Imp. qts)
A/T 8.4 liters (8.9 US qts, 7.4 Imp. qts)
(e) Install the radiator cap.
(f) Start the engine and check for leaks.
(g) Recheck the coolant level and refill as necessary.

(f) Slowly add coolant to water inlet housing until it is full.w Use a good brand of ethylene±glycol base coolant,
mixed according to the manufacturer's directions.
w Using coolant which includes more than 50%
ethylene±glycol (but not more 70%) than is
recommended.
NOTICE:
w Do not use alcohol type coolant.
w The coolant should be mixed with demineralized water or
distilled water.
Capacity (w/ Heater): 10.8 liters (11.4 US qts, 9.5 lmp. qts)
(g) Reinstall a new gasket and filler plug to the water inlethousing.
Torque: 44 N Vm (450 kgf Vcm, 33 ft Vlbf)
(h) Slowly add coolant to reservoir tank until it is full.
(i) Reinstall the radiator cap.
(j) Bleed the cooling system.
w Start the engine, and open the heater water valve.
w Maintain the engine speed at 2,000 rpm, and warm
up the engine.
