Fuel Gauge
Gauge Test
NOTE: Refer to page 23-1 16 for the luelgauge systemcircuit.
'1. Check the No. 15 {1O A) fuse in the under-dashfuse/relay box before testing.
2. Remove the rear seat (see section 2Ol.
3, Remove the protective cover and access Danel Jromthe tloor.
4. With the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the 3-pconnectot from the fuel gauge sending unit.
PROTECTIVE
Connect the voltmete. positive paobe to theYELMHT terminal and the negative probe to theBLKMHT terminal, then turn the ignition switch ON(ll). There should be between 5 and 8 V.
a lf the voltage is as specified. go to step 5.a It the voltage is not as specified, check for- an open in the YEL/WHT. BLU/WHT orBLK/WHT wire.- poor ground (G5O2).
o.Turn the ignition switch OFF. Attach 8 jumper wir€between the BLKA HT and YELMHT terminats.then turn the ignition switch ON 0l).Check that the pointer of the fuel gauge starts mov-ing toward the "F" mark.
CAUTION: Turn th€ ignition switch OFF boforo thepointer roachas "F" on tho gauge dial. Failuro to doao may damage tho fuel gauge.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is a bobbin (c.oss-coitl typegauge. hence the tuel level is continuously indicat-ed even when the ignition switch is OFF, and thepornter moves more slowly than that of a bimetalrype gauge.
a lf the pointer of the fuel gauge does not move atall, replace the gauge.
a lf the gauge is OK, inspect the {uel gauge send-ing unit.

NOTE: Refer to page 23-116 fot the wiring description
oJ the engine coolant temperature (ECT) gauge circuit
diagram.
1. Check the No. 15 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash
tuse/relay box before testing.
2. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF, then discon-
nect the YEL/GRN wire from the ECT gauge send-
ing unit and g.ound it with a jumper wire.
Turn the ignition switch ON (lll.
Check that the pointer of the ECT gauge starts mov-
ing toward the "H" mark,
CAUTION: Tuln th6 ignition switch OFF botore th€
point reaches "H" on tho gaugo dial. Failuro to do
so may damago tho gaugo.
a It the pointer of the gauge does not move at all,
check Jor an oDen in rhe YEL or YEL/GRN wire.
lf the wires are OK, replsce the ECT gauge.
a It the ECT gauge works, test the ECT sending

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECTI Gauge
ECT Sending Unit Test
Disconnect the YEL/GRN wire from the ECT send-
ing unit.
With the engine cold, use an ohmmeter to measure
resistance between the positive terminal and the en-
gine (ground).
Check the temperature of the coolant.
Run the engine and measure the change in ,esistance
with the engine ai operating temperatu.e {the radi-
ator tan comes on).
5. ll the obtained readings are substantially different
Jrom the specifications above, replace the ECT send-
ing unit.

Maintenance Reminder Unit Input Test
1.With the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the 5-P
connector from the reminder unit,
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be
sufe they are all making good contact.
a lJ the terminals are bent, loose orcorroded, repair
them as necessary, and recheck the svstem.
a It the terminals look OK, make the following in-
Put tests at the connecto..- lf a test indicates a problem, tind and correct
the cause, then recheck the system.- It allthe input tests prove OK, the reminder unit
must be taulty; replace it.

Control Unit Input Test
Oisconnect the 8-P connector from the interlock control
unit. Check for good contact between the connector and
socket terminals. lf the terminals 8re OK, make Iollow-
ing input tests at the connector. lf all input tests are OK,
but the problem remains, replace the cont.ol unit,
NOTE: lf the shilt lock solenoid clicks when the ignition
switch is ON and the brake pedal is pushed (shift tever
is in lfl position, accelerator is in rest position), the shiftlock system is electronically normal; test the A/T gear
