1. INSPECT HAZARD WARNING SWITCH CONTINUITY
ConditionTester connectionSpecified condition
Switch OFF7 − 10Continuity
Switch ON7 − 8
4 − 5 − 6 − 9Continuity
Illumination circuit2 − 3Continuity
If continuity is not as specified, replace the switch.
2. INSPECT TURN SIGNAL FLASHER OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
2 and the negative ( −) lead to terminal 3.
(b) Connect the 2 turn signal light bulbs parallel to each other
to terminals 1 and 3, and check that the bulbs flash.
HINT:
The turn signal lights should flash 60 to 120 times per minute.
If one of the front or rear turn signal lights has an open circuit,
the number of flashes will be more than 140 per minute.
If operation is not as specified, replace the flasher.

11. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the receiver
gauge needle indicates COOL.
(c) Ground terminal on the wire harness side connector through a 3.4 W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the bulb lights up and the receiver gauge needle moves to the hot side.
If operation is as specified, replace the sender gauge. Then re-
check the system.
If operation is not as specified, measure the receiver gauge re-
sistance.
12. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminals.
Between terminalsResistance (Ω )
A − B71 − 79
A − C117 − 141
B − C185 − 215
HINT:
Connect the test leads so that the current from the ohmmeter
can flow according to the above order. This circuit include the
diode.
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the receiver
gauge.
13. INSPECT OIL PRESSURE RECEIVER GAUGE OP-
ERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the receiver
gauge needle indicates LOW.
