Right turn2 - 3Continuity
If continuity is not as specified, replace the switch.
2. INSPECT HAZARD WARNING SWITCH CONTINUITY
Switch positionTester connectionSpecified condition
OFF7 - 10Continuity
ON4 - 5 - 6 - 9
7 - 8Continuity
Illumination2 - 3Continuity
If continuity is not as specified, replace the switch.
3. 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 two turn signal light bulbs parallel to each
other to terminal 1 and 3, and check that the bulbs flash.
HINT:
The turn signal lights should flash 60 to 120 times par minute.
If one of the front or rear turn signal lights has an open circuit,
the numbers of flashed will be more than 140 par minute.
If operation is not as specified, replace the flasher.

Between terminalsResistance (W)
A - BApprox. 171.2
A - CApprox. 272.8
B - CApprox. 101.6
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the receiver
gauge.
4. INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between Red Cable and Black Cable.
Float position : mm (in.)Resistance (W)
F : Approx. 13.0 ± 3
(0.512 ± 0.118)3 ± 1.0
1/2 : Approx. 61.0 (2.402)29 ± 4.8
E : Approx. 124.0 ± 3
(4.882 ± 0.118)110 ± 7.7
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the sender
gauge.
5. INSPECT FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Connect terminals 1 and 3 on the wire harness side con-
nector.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the warning light
lights up.
If the warning light does no light up, test the bulb.
6. INSPECT FUEL LEVEL WARNING SWITCH
OPERATION
(a) Apply battery positive voltage between terminals and
through a 3.4 W test bulb, check that the bulb lights up.

9. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the warning switch and
ground terminal on the wire harness side connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the warning
light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb.
10. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH CONTINUITY
(a) Disconnect the connector from the switch.
(b) Check that there is continuity between terminal and
ground with the engine stopped.
(c) Check that there is no continuity between terminal and
ground with the engine running.
HINT:
Oil pressure should be over 49 kPa (0.5 kgf/cm
2, 7.1 psi).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
11. INSPECT BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connectors from the level warning switch
and parking brake switch.
(b) Connect terminals on the wire harness side connector of
the level warning switch connector.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the warning
light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb.
12. INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING SWITCH
CONTINUITY
(a) Check that there is no continuity between terminals with
the switch OFF (float up).
(b) Check that there is continuity between terminals with the
switch ON (float down).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.

13. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE SWITCH CONTINUITY
(a) Check that there is continuity between terminal and
switch body with the switch ON (switch pin released).
(b) Check that there is no continuity between terminal and
switch body with the switch OFF (switch pin pushed in).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch or inspect
ground point.
14. INSPECT OPEN DOOR WARNING LIGHT

15. INSPECT OPEN DOOR COURTESY SWITCH
CONTINUITY
(a) Check that there is continuity between terminals and the
switch body with the switch ON (switch pin released:
opened door).
(b) Check that there is no continuity between terminals and
the switch body with the switch OFF (switch pin pushed
in: closed doors).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
16. INSPECT SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the driver's seat belt re-
tractor assembly.
(b) Connect terminals 1 and 2 on the wire harness side con-
nector.
