INSPECT LH REAR POWER WINDOW MOTOR OP-
ERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1 and the negative (−) lead to terminal 2, check that the
motor turns clockwise.
(b) Reverse the polarity, check that the motor turns counter-
clockwise.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.

the mirror turns upward.
(b) Reverse the polarity, and check that the mirror turns
downward.
(c) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1 and the negative (−) lead to terminal 2, and check that
the mirror turns left side
(d) Reverse the polarity, and check that the mirror turns right
side.
If operation is not as specified, replace the mirror assembly.

AUDIO SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
1. RADIO WAVE BAND
2. SERVICE AREA
There are great differences in the size of the service area for
AM, FM monaural, and FM stereo broadcasts cannot be re-
ceived even though AM comes in very clearly.
Not only does FM stereo have the smallest service area, but it
also picks up static and other types of interference (”noise”)
easily.
3. RECEPTION PROBLEMS
Besides the problem of static, there are also the problems
called ”fading”, ”multipath” and ”fade out”. These problems are
caused not by electrical noise but by the nature of the radio
waves themselves.
(1) Fading:
Besides electrical interference, AM broadcasts are
also susceptible to other types of interference, es-
pecially at night. This is because AM radio waves
bounce off the ionosphere at night. These radio
waves then interfere with the signals from the same
transmitter that reach the vehicle’s antenna directly.
This type of interference is called ”fading”.

(2) Multipath:
One type of interference caused by the bouncing of
radio waves off of obstructions is called ”multipath”.
Multipath occurs when a signal from the broadcast
transmitter antenna bounces off buildings and
mountains and interferes with the signal that is re-
ceived directly.
(3) Fade Out:
Because FM radio waves are of higher frequencies
than AM radio waves, they bounce off buildings,
mountains, and other obstructions. For this reason,
FM signals often seem to gradually disappear or
fade away as the vehicle goes behind a building or
other obstruction. This is called ”fade out”.
4. Tape Player/Head Cleaning:
MAINTENANCE
(a) Raise the cassette door with your finger.
Then, using a pencil or like object, push in the guide.
(b) Using a cleaning pen or cotton applicator soaked in clean-
er, clean the head surface, punch rollers and capstans.

TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTICE:
When replacing the internal mechanism (computer part) of the audio system, be careful that no part
of your body or clothing comes in contact with the terminals of the leads from the IC etc. of the re-
placement part (spare part).
HINT:
This inspection procedure is a simple troubleshooting which should be carried out on the vehicle during sys-
tem operation and was prepared on the assumption of system component troubles (except for the wires and
connectors, etc.).
Always inspect the trouble taking the following items into consideration.
Open or short circuit of the wire harness
Connector or terminal connection fault
