Horn relay 9. Flasher unit 10. Rear window defroster relay DESCRIPTION The DRL control unit (Canada only) controls the operation of the turn signal lights. When the ignition switch is at ON or START, the front turn signal lights illuminate as running lights, except when one of the following switches is on: Headlight switch. Turn signal light switch. Hazard warning switch. Parking brake switch. Gartner Banana

T WARNING LIGHT AND SENDER UNIT TROUBLESHOOTING Check the METER 15A fuse in the fuse box before troubleshooting. If it is burnt, replace it after checking and repairing the wiring harness. i/ Brake System Warning Light I Symptom: Brake system warning light remains illuminated. 45UOTX-063 Step 1 - Check brake fluid level Check brake fluid level. Below MIN I I Check brake system (Refer to section P) I Brake fluid level Action Step 2 - Check parking brake switch 1. Disconnect the parking brake switch connector. 2. Check for continuity between the terminal of the switch and ground. Above MIN Go to Step 2 3. If not as specified, adjust or replace the parking brake switch. (Refer to section P.) 4. If the switch is OK, go to Step 3. I Step 3 - Check brake fluid level sensor I 1. Check for continuity of the sensor. *. 1' Lever Pulled one notch Released Continuity Yes No - I Above MIN No Brake fluid level Below MIN 2. If not as specified, replace the level sensor. 3. If the sensor is OK, repair the wiring harness. Continuity Yes Gartner Banana

WARNING LIGHT AND SENDER UNIT T Symptom: Brake system warning light does not illuminate when parking brake is on. (Ignition switch to ON) 45UOTX-065 Remedy 1. Disconnect the parking brake switch connector. 2. Check for continuity between the terminal of the switch and ground. I Released 1 No I Lever 3. If not as specified, adjust or replace the parking brake switch. 4. If the switch is OK, repair the wiring harness.

LIGHTING SYSTEM T Symptom: Daytime running lights (DRL) do not illuminate. (Turn signals function normally.) DRL operate with engine running and following switches are off: Headlight switch Turn signal switch (Selected turn signal light flashes, other light remains illumi- nated) Hazard warning switch Parking brake switch (Parking brake released) Step 1 1. Position the vehicle on a flat surface and block the wheels to prevent vehicle movement. 2. Turn the ignition switch to ON. 3. Measure the voltage at the following terminal wires of the DRL control unit. 4. If correct, replace the DRL control unit. B+: Battery positive voltage Step 2 1. Disconnect the parking brake switch connector. 2. Check for continuity between the terminal of the switch and a body ground.
