CAUTION: The daytime running lights resistor becomes
very hot when the daytime running lights are on; do not
touch il or the attaching hardware immediately after
the lights have been iurned off.
1. Disconnect the 3P connector from the resistor.

N4easure the resistance between the resistor termi
nals (No. 1 and No. 2) and the power terminal No. 3.
Resistance: 1.6 O t 0.08 O
Replace the resistor with a new one if any of the
resistances are beyond specification.

CAUTION: Halogen headlights b€come very hot in use;
do not touch them or the attaching hardware immedi-
ately after they have been turned off.
1. Remove the front bumper (see section 20).
2. Remove the mounting bolts,
3. Disconnect each connector, then remove the head-
lighVfront turn signal/parking light assembly.

19. Reconnect the battery positive cable, then the nega-
tive cable.
20. After installing the cable reel, confirm proper sys-
tem operation:
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll); the SRS indica-
tor light should come on for about six seconds
and then go off.
Make sure both horn buttons work.
Make sure the headlight and wiper switches
Go for a test drive, and make sure the cruise con
trol switches work.

A/T Gear Position Indicator (conrd)
- How the Circuit Works
With the ignition switch in ON (ll) or START (lll),
voltage is applied to the A,/T gear position indicator.
The A,/T gear position switch provides a ground for
each position. As an input is grounded, its indicator
light comes on. lf you select R, for example, ground
will be provided to the input of the A,/T gear position
indicato( and the R indicator will come on.
With the headlight switch in PARK or HEAD, voltage
is applied to the RED/BLK wire terminal. This
changes the indicator panel illumination from fixed
to controlled by the dash lights dimmer input
through the RED wire.
When the powertrain (all except '96-'98 CVT) or
transmission ('96198 CVT) control module (PCM or
TCM) detects an abnormality in the automatic
transmission control system, or when you request
diagnostic trouble codes through the service check
connector, the PCM or TCM will make the D4 (D for
CVT) indicator light blink.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 14,
Automatic Transmission) for specific tests or
troubleshooting procedures.
