w/o Tachometer:
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.
HINT:
It will take a short time for bulb to light up.

gauge.
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
(a) Disconnect the connectors from the door courtesy switch
and ground terminal on the wire harness side connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the warning light
lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb.
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.
(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.
17. INSPECT SEAT BELT RETRACTOR SWITCH
CONTINUITY
(a) Check that there is continuity between terminals on the
switch side connector with the switch ON (belt down-
ward).
(b) Check that there is continuity between terminals on the
switch side connector with the switch OFF (belt upward).
If continuity is not as specified, replace the retractor assembly.
