BODY ELECTRICAL HEADLIGHT AND TAILLIGHT SYSTEM
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
ADJUSTMENT
1. ADJUSTING HEADLIGHT AIM ONLY
(a) Put the vehicle in below conditions.
Make sure the body around the headlight is not de-
formed.
Park the vehicle on a level place.
The driver gets into the driver’s seat and puts the
vehicle in a state ready for driving (with a full tank).
Bounce the vehicle several times.
(b) Adjust headlight in vertical alignment.
If the gauge bubble is outside the acceptable range of the beam
angle gauge, adjust it using adjusting screw A.
HINT:
The beam angle will change about 0 °11’ with one mark.

(c) Adjust headlight in horizontal alignment.
If the ”0” moves away from the mark beyond the acceptable
range, adjust the ”0” back to the mark using adjusting screw B.
HINT:
The beam angle will change about 0 °23’ with one mark.
2. REPLACING HEADLIGHT
(a) Replace the headlight.
(b) Inspect the headlight aim. Do the following before inspec-
tion.
Make sure the body around the headlight is not de-
formed.
Park the vehicle on a level spot.
The driver gets into the driver’s seat and puts the
vehicle in a state ready for driving (with a full tank).
Bounce the vehicle several times.
(c) Adjust headlight in vertical alignment (1) Using adjusting screw A, adjust the headlight aim to
within the specifications.
HINT:
The beam angle will change about 0 °11’ with one mark.
(2) Make sure the gauge bubble is within the accept- able range.
HINT:
If the gauge bubble is outside the acceptable range, check that
the vehicle is parked on a level place.
(d) Readjust the headlight aim after parking the vehicle on a level place.
(e) Adjust the headlight in horizontal alignment. (1) Using adjusting screw B, adjust the headlight aim to
within the specifications.
HINT:
The beam angle will change about 0 °23’ with one mark.
(2) Using adjusting nut C, adjust the ”0” back to the mark.
HINT:
For adjustment, pull nut C to the rear of the vehicle to free it. Af-
ter adjustment, check that the nut C is locked in.

CHARGING CHARGING SYSTEM
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
If the light does not operate as specified, troubleshoot the dis-
charge warning light circuit.
6. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITHOUT LOAD
HINT:
If a battery/generator tester is available, connect the tester to
the charging circuit as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
(a) If a tester is not available, connect a voltmeter and amme-
ter to the charging circuit as follows:
Disconnect the wire from terminal B of the generator
and connect it to the negative ( −) lead of the amme-
ter.
Connect the positive (+) lead of the ammeter to ter-
minal B of the generator.
Connect the positive (+) lead of the voltmeter to ter-
minal B of the generator.
Ground the negative ( −) lead of the voltmeter.
(b) Check the charging circuit as follows:
With the engine running from idle to 2,000 rpm, check the
reading on the ammeter and voltmeter.
Standard amperage 10 A or less
Standard voltage:
at 25° C ’(77°F)14.0 − 15.0 V
at 115°C ’(239° F)13.5 − 14.3 V
If the voltmeter reading is more than standard voltage, replace
the voltage regulator.
If the voltmeter reading is less than the standard voltage, check
the voltage regulator and generator as follows:
With terminal F grounded, start the engine and
check the voltmeter reading of terminal B.
If the voltmeter reading is more than standard volt-
age, replace the voltage regulator.
If the voltmeter reading is less than standard volt-
age, check the generator.
7. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITH LOAD
(a) With the engine running at 2,000 rpm, turn on the high
beam headlights and place the heater blower switch at
”HI”.
