INDICATOR
1. Turn the ignition switch on while pressing the ari conditioner control
switch and REC swich
simultaneously.
2. Check that all the indicators light up and go off at 1 second intervals 4 times in succession.
3. Check that the buzzer sounds when the indicators light up in 2.
HINT:
wAfter the indicator check is ended, the diagnostic code
check begins automatically.
w Press the OFF switch when desiring to cancel the check
mode.
DIAGNOSTIC CODE CHECK (SENSOR
CHECK)
1. Perform an indicator check. After the indicator check is completed, the system enters the diagnostic code check
mode automatically.
2. Read the code displayed on the panel. Refer to the list of
codes on page AC±28 when reading the codes. (Codes are
output at the temperature display.)
If the slower display ped is desired, press the FRS
switch and change it to stepped operation. Each time the
FRS
switch is pressed, the display changes by 1 step.
HINT:
w If the buzzer sounds when a code is being read, it means
the trouble indicated by that code continues to occur.
w If the buzzer does not sound when a code is being read,
it means the trouble indicated by that code occurred ear-
lier (such as poor connector contacts, etc.)
CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC CODES
1. Pull out the DOME fuse in Relay Block No. 2 for 10 sec. or
longer to clear the memory of diagnostic codes.
2. After reinserting the fuse, check that the normal code is output.

Check voltage between terminals TP and SG of air conditioner control
assembly connector.
(1) Remove console upper panel.(See page BO±111).
(2) Remove A/C control assembly with connec±
tors still connected.
(3) Turn ignition switch ON.
Change the set temperature to activate the air mix
damper, and measure the voltage between termi-
nals TP and SG of air conditioner control assem-
bly connector each time when the set temperature
is changed.

In addition, as the set temperature increases,
the voltage decreases gradually without inter-
ruption.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on
matrix chart (See page AC-36).However,
when Diag. code 31 or 41 is displayed, check and
replace air conditioner control assembly.
Check air mix damper position sensor.
(1) Remove heater unit. (See page AC-125)
(2) Disconnect air mix servomotor assembly
connector.
Measure resistance between terminals S5 and SG of
air mix servomotor assembly connector.
Resistance:4.7~7.2 k

While operating air mix servomotor as in the
procedure on page AC-61, measure resistance
between terminals TP and SG of air mix servo-
motor assembly connector.
Position Resistance
Max. cool
Max. warm 3.76 ~ 5.76 k


0.94 ~ 1.44 k

As the air mix servomotor moves from cool side
to warm side, the resistance decreases gradually
without interruption.
Replace air mix servomotor assembly.
Check for open and short in harness and connector between air conditioner
control assembly and air mix servomotor assembly (See page IN-27).
Repair or replace harness or connector.
Check and replace air conditioner control

Adjustment of Headlight Aim
1. INSPECT HEADLIGHT AIM Check the following items before inspection.
wBe sure that the body around the headlight is not
deformed.
w Park the vehicle on a level spot.
w The driver gets into the driver's seat and puts the vehicle
in state ready for driving (with a full tank).
w Bounce the vehicle several times.
(Vertical Direction)
Check that the bubble of the gauge does not deviate from the
center of the gauge.
(Horizontal Direction)
Check that the red mark does not deviate from the center of
the gauge.
If the error is over the valve specified, adjust headlight aim.
2. ADJUST HEADLIGHT AIM (Vertical Direction)
Turn the bolt A and adjust the bubble of angle gauge to center
of the gauge.
HINT: The beam angle will change about 0 519' with one mark.
(Horizontal Direction)
Turn the bolt B and adjust the mark of angle gauge to Center
of the gauge.
HINT: The beam angle will change about 0 538' with one mark.
NOTICE: The beam angle gauge should only be used
when the headlights are correctly installed on the body.

The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the ap-
propriate signals to the ECU. These signals are used for control
of both the ABS and TRAC control systems. The front and rear
rotors each have 48 serrations. When the rotors rotate, the mag-
netic field emitted by the permanent magnet in the speed sensor
generates an AC voltage. Since the frequency of this AC voltage
changes in proportion to the speed of the rotors (wheels), the
frequency is used by the ECU to detect the speed of each wheel.

4. CHECK THAT PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE IS CORRECT,
AS SHOWN
Release the parking brake.
With the engine running, depress the pedal and measure the
pedal reserve distance, as shown.
Pedal reserve distance at 490 N (50 kgf, 110.2 lbf):
More than 89 mm (3.50 in.)
If the reserve distance is incorrect, troubleshoot the brake
system.
BRAKE BOOSTER OPERATIONAL TEST
BR03P±0B
1. OPERATING CHECK
(a) Depress the bake pedal several times with the engine off and
check that there is no change in the pedal reserve distance.
(b) Depress the brake pedal and start the engine. If the pedal goes down slightly, operation is normal.
2. AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
(a) Start the engine and stop it after 1 or 2 minutes. Depress the brake pedal several times slowly. If the pedal goes down the
farthest the 1st time, but gradually rises after the 2nd or 3rd
time, the booster is air tight.
(b) Depress the brake pedal while the engine is running, and stop the engine with the pedal depressed. If there is no
change in the pedal reserve travel after holding the pedal for
30 seconds, the booster is air tight.
BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING

HINT: If any work is done on the brake system or if air in the
brake lines is suspected, bleed the system of air.
NOTICE: Do not let brake fluid remain on painted sur-
faces. Wash it off immediately.
1. REMOVE RESERVOIR CAP Turn the reservoir cap to the ªopenº side and remove it.
2. FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID
