PRELIMINARY CHECK FOR THERMOMETER
Turn the ignition key switch to the ``ACC''
position.
Cool down the ambient air temperature
sensor with water or ice, so that the indi-
cated temperature falls.
Does the indicated temperature fall?
Ye s
cNo
The system is malfunction-
ing..1
Leave the vehicle for 10 minutes, so that
the indicated temperature rises.
With the ignition key in the ``ACC''
position, disconnect and reconnect the
ambient air temperature sensor connector.
Does the indicated temperature rise?
Ye s
cNo
The system is malfunction-
ing..1
The system is OK.
.1: Check the system following ``INSPECTION/COMPASS AND THERMOM-
ETER''.

3. Compass and thermometer1. Check 7.5A fuse [No.
9, located in fuse block (J/B)].
Turn the ignition switch ON and verify that battery positive
voltage is at terminalj
2of compass and thermometer.
2. Check ground circuit for compass and thermometer.
3. Replace compass and thermometer.

(Bar and display vanish.)
2. Zone variation change is not
done.1. Drive the vehicle and turn at an angle of 90É.
2. Perform the zone variation change.
Compass reading remains
unchanged.1. Vehicle speed sensor is not
entered.
2. Compass and thermometer1. Check harness for open or short between combination meter
terminalj
26and compass and thermometer terminalj8.
2. Replace compass and thermometer.

when ambient temperature is
between þ30ÉC (þ20ÉF) and
55ÉC (130ÉF). (See NOTE)1. Check operation
2. Ambient air temperature

5. Compass and thermometer1. Perform preliminary check shown below.
2. Check harness for open or short between ambient air tem-
perature sensor and compass and thermometer.
3. Check harness for open or short between combination meter
terminalj
26and compass and thermometer terminalj8.
4. Replace ambient air temperature sensor.
5. Replace compass and thermometer.
NOTE:
+When the outside temperature is between 55ÉC (130ÉF) and 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows 55ÉC
(130ÉF). When the outside temperature is lower than þ30ÉC (þ20ÉF) or higher than 70ÉC (158ÉF), the
display shows only ``- - -''.
+The indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes
only when one of the following conditions (shown on next page) is present.

a) The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated tem-
perature on the thermometer.
b) The difference in temperature detected during a period of 40 seconds is less than 1ÉC (1.8ÉF) when
vehicle speed has been greater than 24 km/h (15 MPH) for more than 100 seconds.
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat or cooling fan
operation during low-speed driving.)
c) The ignition key has been turned to the ``OFF'' position for more than 4 hours. (The engine is cold.)
Calibration Procedure For Compass
The difference between magnetic North and geographical North
can sometimes be great enough to cause false compass readings.
In order for the compass to operate accurately in a particular zone,
it must be calibrated using the following procedure.
1. Determine your location on the worldwide magnetic variation
map on next page. Record your zone number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON position.
3. Push the ``Mode'' switch continuously for ®ve seconds until the
current zone entry number is displayed.
4. Press the ``Mode'' switch repeatedly until the desired zone num-
ber is displayed.
Once the desired zone number is displayed, stop pressing the
``Mode'' switch and the display will show compass direction after a
few seconds.
CORRECTION FUNCTIONS OF COMPASS
The direction display is equipped with automatic correction func-
tion. If the direction is not shown correctly, carry out initial correc-
tion.
INITIAL CORRECTION PROCEDURE FOR COMPASS
1. Pushing the ``Mode'' switch for about 10 seconds will enter the
initial correction mode. The direction bar starts blinking.
2. Turn the vehicle slowly in an open, safe place. The initial cor-
rection is completed in one or two turns.
NOTE:
In places where the terrestrial magnetism is extremely
disturbed, the initial correction may start automatically.

FUEL WARNING LAMP SENSOR CHECK
+It will take a short time for the bulb to light.
NOTE: Inspection for sub fuel warning lamp sensor is the
same as for fuel warning lamp sensor.
OIL PRESSURE SWITCH CHECK

Engine stopLess than 10 - 20
(0.10 - 0.20, 0.1 - 0.2,1-3)YES
Check the continuity between the terminals of oil pressure switch
and body ground.
DIODE CHECK
+Check continuity using an ohmmeter.
+Diode is functioning properly if test results are as shown in the
®gure at left.
NOTE: Speci®cation may vary depending on the type of tester.
Before performing this inspection, be sure to refer to
the instruction manual for the tester to be used.
+Diodes for warning lamps are built into the combination meter
printed circuit.

HEADLAMP WIPER MOTOR CHECK
When wiper motor is locked, a protective circuit built into
wiper motor activates to stop wiper motor. If wiper motor will
not restart even after cause of problems has been eliminated,
turn ignition switch OFF and leave it off for approx. 1 to 3
minutes.
1. Turn headlamp wiper switch OFF.
2. Connect ohmmeter and check continuity.

CD skipping. 1. Rough road driving
2. Discs
3. Bracket
4. Changer1. System is not malfunctioning.
2. Inspect discs.
(Refer to testing magazines and discs.)
3. Check and repair bracket and installation of changer.
4. Remove the changer for repair.
Error code [NO DISC] is shown on the
radio after CD play button is pressed.1. Magazine setting
2. Magazine
3. Changer1. Con®rm the magazine is pushed completely.
2. Inspect magazine.
(Refer to testing magazines and discs.)
3. Remove the changer for repair.
Testing magazines and discs
1. Con®rm discs are installed correctly into the magazine (not upside down).
2. Visually inspect/compare the customer's discs with each other and other discs.
Identify any of the following conditions:
+Discs with a large outside diameter. [Normal size is 120 mm (4.72 in).]
+Discs with rough or lipped edges.
+Discs with excessive thickness [Normal size is 1.2 mm (0.047 in).]
+Discs with scratches, abrasions, or pits on the surface.
+Discs with grease/oil, ®ngerprints, foreign material.
+Discs are warped due to excessive heat exposure.
3. Slide/place the discs in and out of the various magazine positions.
Identify any discs and/or positions that require additional force for placement/ejection. If interference
(sticking, excessive tensions) is found, replace the magazine or the discs.
Note:
+Discs which are marginally out of speci®cation (ex. dirty, scratched and so on) may play correctly
on a home stereo.
However, when used in the automotive environment skipping may occur due to the added vehicle
movement and/or vibration due to road conditions. Autochangers should not be replaced when
discs are at fault.
+Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the discs starting from the center outward in radial direction. Never
use chemical cleaning solutions to clean the discs.
