T FUSE DESCRIPTION Main Fuse Block The main fuse block is located on the right side of the engine compartment and contains nine fuses and two relays. -1 Fuse Box Fuse block No.1 is located above the dead pedal of the driver side. The fuse box cover shows the speci- fied fuse locations. A circuit breaker is included in the fuse box to protect the heater blower motor circuit. Fuse block No.2 is located to the side of the battery in the trunk compartment. 45UOTX-016 REPLACEMENT Caution Determine and correct the cause of a burnt fuse before replacing it. If the fuse is replaced before doing this, it may burn again. Plate type 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 2. Replace the failed fuse with the fuse puller. 3. Reconnect the negative battery cable. Cartridge-type 80A fuse (Black) 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 2. Remove the fuse block mounting nuts, and remove the service cover. 3. Remove the fuse installation bolts, and pull out the fuse. 4. Install the new fuse and the fuse installation bolts. 5. Install the main fuse block. 6. Reconnect the negative battery cable.

Odometer DESCRIPTION Speedometer Two scales are shown on the speedometer face. The main scale for U.S. specification vehicles is MPH (0-140 MPH); the main scale for Canada specification vehicles is kmlh (0-220 kmlh). The odometer indication is the same as the main scale. Tachometer The tachometer has a RED STRIPED ZONE (6,500-7,000 rpm) that indicates momentary allowable engine speed. The engine should not be operated in the RED ZONE (7,000-8,000 rpm). Fuel Gauge 2 The fuel gauge continues to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank after the ignition switch has been turned OFF. Gartner Banana

Using a speedometer tester, check the speedometer for allowable indication error, and check the operation of the odometer. Replace if necessary. 2. Check the speedometer for fluctuation and/or abnormal noise. If there is fluctuation or if the speedometer does not move, remove and inspect the speedometer cable. If it is in good condition, replace the speedometer as- sembly. TACHOMETER lnspection 1. Connect a test tachometer to the engine, and start the engine. 2. Check the tachometer for allowable indication error. Re- place if necessary. lnspection 1. Remove the instrument cluster. (Refer to page T-29.) 2. Apply battery positive voltage to terminal 2K and ground to terminal 2J. 3.
