10.
With a sponge, apply a light coat of body primer to

the original adhesive remaining around the rear

window opening flange. Let the body primer dry for

at least 10 minutes.

NOTE:

Do not apply glass primer to the body, and be care-

ful not to mix up glass and body primer sponges.

Never touch the primed surfaces with your hands.

: Apply body primer here.

11. Thoroughly mix the adhesive and hardener together

on a glass or metal plate with a putty knife.

NOTE:

Clean the plate with a sponge and alcohol before

mixing.

Follow the instructions that came with the adhe-

sive.

12. Before filling a cartridge, cut the end of the nozzle

as shown.

13. Pack adhesive into the cartridge without air pockets

to ensure continuous delivery. Put the cartridge in a

caulking gun, and run a bead of adhesive around

the edge of the rear window as shown.

NOTE: Apply the adhesive within 30 minutes after

applying the glass primer.

14. Use suction cups to hold the rear window over the

opening, align it with the alignment marks made in

step 7, and set it down on the adhesive. Lightly

push on the rear window until its edges are fully

Sunlight Sensor

Replacement

1. Remove the sunlight sensor from the left tweeter

speaker grille, and disconnect the 2P connector.

NOTE: Be careful not to damage the left tweeter

speaker grille.

SUNLIGHT SENSOR

2. Install in the reverse order of removal.
Test

Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Measure the voltage

between the terminals with the (+) probe on the No. 1

terminal and the (-) probe on the No. 2 terminal with the

2P connector connected. Voltage should be;

3.7 ± 0.2 V or more with the sensor out of direct sun-

light.

3.6 ± 0.2 V or less with the sensor in direct sunlight.

NOTE: The voltage will not change under the light of a

flashlight or a fluorescent lamp.

Five-step Troubleshooting

1. Verify The Complaint

Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to

verify the customer complaint. Note the symptoms.

Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have

narrowed down the problem area.

2. Analyze The Schematic

Look up the schematic for the problem circuit.

Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by

tracing the current paths from the power feed

through the circuit components to ground. If several

circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or ground is a

likely cause.

Based on the symptoms and your understanding of

the circuit operation, identify one or more possible

causes of the problem.

3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit

Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made

in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple proce-

dure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for

the most likely cause of failure first. Try to make

tests at points that are easily accessible.

4. Fix The Problem

Once the specific problem is identified, make the

repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe proce-

dures.

5. Make Sure The Circuit Works

Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all

modes to make sure you've fixed the entire prob-

lem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to

test all of the circuits on the fuse. Make sure no new

problems turn up and the original problem does not

recur.
Wire Color Codes

The following abbreviations are used to identify wire

colors in the circuit schematics:

WHT .............................White

YEL ............................... Yellow

BLK .............................. Black

BLU
..............................
Blue

GRN ............................. Green

RED
..............................
Red

ORN ............................. Orange

PNK.............................. Pink

BRN .............................. Brown

GRY.............................. Gray

PUR .............................. Purple

LT BLU ......................... Light Blue

LT GRN ........................ Light Green

The wire insulation has one color or one color with

another color stripe. The second color is the stripe.

WHT/BLK

NOTE: Different wires with the same color in the same

system have been given number suffixes to distinguish

them (for example, YEL1 and YEL2 are not the same).ProCarManuals.com
