Disconnect the switch connector and inspect the connector on
wire harness side, as shown.
Tester connectionConditionSpecified condition
2 − GroundConstantContinuity
If continuity is not as specified, inspect the wire harness or
ground point.
26. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the switch.
(b) Ground terminal 1 on the wire harness connector.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the warning
light lights up approximately 40 seconds later.
If the warning light does not light up, inspect bulb or wire har-
ness.
27. INSPECT LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT
(a) Connect terminals 1 and 3 through a 3.4 W test bulb.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1 and the negative ( −) lead to terminal 2.
(c) Turn the rheostat knob to fully counterclockwise, and
check that the test bulb goes out.
(d) Gradually turn the rheostat knob to clockwise, and check
that the test bulb brightness changes from dark to bright.
If operation is not as specified, replace the rheostat.

COMPRESSION
INSPECTION
HINT:
If there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel
economy, measure the compression pressure.
1. WARM UP AND STOP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2. DISCONNECT DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR
3. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS (See page IG−1 )
4. CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE
(a) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
(b) Fully open the throttle.
(c) While cranking the engine, measure the compression pressure.
HINT:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine speed of
250 rpm or more.
(d) Repeat steps (a) through (c) for each cylinder.
NOTICE:
This measurement must be done in as short a time as pos-
sible. Compression pressure:
1,176 kPa (12.0 kgf/cm
2, 171 psi) or more
Minimum pressure: 883 kPa (9.0 kgf/cm
2, 128 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi) or less
If the cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour
a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark
plug hole and repeat steps (a) through (c) for cylinders with low
compression.
If adding oil helps the compression, it is likely that
the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are worn or
damaged.
If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or
seating is improper, or there may be leakage past
the gasket.
5. REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS (See page IG−1 )
6. RECONNECT DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR

6. INSTALL VALVES
(a) Using SST, push in a new oil seal.

HINT:
Different oil seals are used for the intake and exhaust.
(b) Install the valve (1), spring seat (2), valve spring (3) and spring retainer (4).
(c) Using SST, compress the valve spring and place the 2 keepers around the valve stem.

CHASSIS
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT STEERING LINKAGE
(a) Check the steering linkage for looseness or damage.
Check that the tie rod ends do not have excessive
play.
Check that the boot clamps are not loose.
(b) Inspect the dust cover for damage.
2. INSPECT SRS AIRBAG (Driver airbag: See page RS−9 )
(Front passenger airbag: See page RS−23 )
3. INSPECT STEERING GEAR HOUSING OIL
Check the steering gear housing for oil leakage.
If leakage is found, check for cause and repair.
4. INSPECT OIL LEVEL IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
(See page DI−131 )
5. INSPECT OIL LEVEL IN TRANSFER AND DIFFEREN- TIAL
(a) Transfer: Remove the filler plug and feel inside the hole with your
finger. Check that the oil comes to within 5 mm (0.20 in.)
of the bottom edge of the hole.
If the level is low, add oil until it begins to run out of the filler hole.
Oil drade: API GL −4 or GL−5
Viscosity: 75W−90
(b) Differential: Remove the filler plug and feel inside the hole with your
finger. Check that the oil comes to within 5 mm (0.20 in.)
of the bottom edge of the hole.
If the level is low, add oil until it begins to run out of the filler hole.
Oil drade: Hypoid gear oil API GL −5
Viscosity:
Above −18°C (0° F) SAE 90
Below −18°C (0° F) SAE 80W−90 or 80W
6. REPLACE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (See page DI−3)

8. REPACK FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS (See pages SA−7 and SA−9 )
9. LUBE STEERING KNUCKLE CHASSIS AND PROPEL-
LER SHAFT
(a) Remove the screw plug from each steering knuckle and repack with lubricant.
Steering knuckle grease:
Molybdenum disulfide lithium base chassis grease
(NLGI No. 2)
(b) Reinstall the 2 screw plugs.
(c) Lubricate chassis components, referring to the lubrication
chart. Before pumping in grease, wipe off any mud and
dust on the grease fitting.
