break them inside.
'1 . Check the condition ot the wire terminals. lJ any ter-
minal is corroded, clean it, and if it is broken or dis-
torted. reolace the wire.
Check for broken,corroded, and bentterminals.

Fuel Gauge
Gauge Test
NOTE: Refer to page 23-123 for the fuel gauge system
circuit.
1. Check the No. 25 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash
fuse/relay box before testing.
2. Remove the rear seat (see section 20).
Remove the protective cover and access panel from
the tloor.
With the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the 3p con-nector from the fuel gauge sending unit.

PROTECTIVECOVER
Connect the voltmeter positive probe to the
YEL/WHT terminal and the negative probe to the
BLK/WHT terminal, then turn the ignition switch ON(ll). The.e should be between 5 and 8 V.
a lf the voltage is as specified, go to step 6.a lI the voltage is not as specified, check for- an open in the YEL/WHT, BLU/WHT or
BLK/WHT wire.- poor ground (G501, G502).
3P CONNECTOR
View from wire side
6.Turn the ignition switch OFF. Attach a jumper wire
between the BLKMHT and YEL/WHT terminals,
then turn the ignition switch ON {1.,.
Check that the pointer of the fuel gauge starls mov-
ing toward the "F" mark.
CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch OFF before the
pointer reaches "F" on the gauge dial, Failure to do
so may damage the tuel gauge.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is a bobbin (cross-coil) type
gauge, hence the fuel level is continuously indicat-
ed even when the ignition switch is OFF, and thepointer moves more slowlv than that ol a bimetal
rype gauge.
a lf the pointer ol the fuel gauge does not move at
all, replace the gauge.
a It the gauge is OK, inspect the fuel gauge send-
ing unit.

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Gauge
Gauge Test
NOTE: Refer to page 23-123 for the wiring description of
the engine coolant temperature (ECT) gauge circuit dia-
gram.
1. Check the No. 25 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash
fuse/relay box before testing.
2. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF, then discon-
nect the YEL/GRN wire trom the ECT gauge send-
ing unit and ground it with a jumper wire.
YEL/GRN WIRESENDING UNIT
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
Check that the pointer of the ECT gauge starts mov-
ing toward the "H" mark.
CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch OFF before the
pointer reaches "H" on the gauge dial. Failure to do
so may damage the gauge.
a lf the pointer of the gauge does not move at all,
check lor an open in the YEL or YEL/GRN wire.
lf the wires are OK, replace the ECT gauge.
a lf the ECT gauge works, test the ECT sending
unrt.
ECT Sending Unit Test
Disconnect the YEL/GRN wire from the ECT send-
ing unit.
With the engine cold, use an ohmmeter to measure
resistance between the positive terminal and the en-
gine (ground).
Check the temperature ol the coolant.
Run the engine and measure the change in resistance
with the engine at operating temperature (the radi-
ator fan comes on).
5. It the obtained readings are substantially different
from the sDecifications above, replace the ECT send-
Ing unrt.

Description
Ths cal is equipped with the tottowing devices to prevent inadvertenl shifting:
a Key cylinder with interlocked ignition key (Key Interlock System)
a shift lever with shift lock (shilt Lock system)
Key Interlock System:
When the shift lever is in any other position than @ or is not securely locked in @ (parking pin switch is ON), a solenoid
is activated, making it impossible to remove the ignition key from the ignition switch.
To be able to remove the key, the shift lever must be in E] and must be securely locked in this position {parking pin
switch must be turned oft by the lock pin)
The shift lever is in any othel position than El and the psrking pin switch is ON:

The shitt lever is in l!] and the parking pin switch is OFF:

Precautions/Procedures
Spring-loaded Lock ConneetorSpring-loaded Lock Gonnector
with Built-in Short Contact
The driver's and front passenger's airbag have a spring-
loaded lock connector with a built-in short contact.
When this connector is disconnected, the power termi-
nal and the ground terminal in the airbag connector are
automatically shorted.

broken by the binding of
the book or by a "choice"
