Removal and Installation
WIPER ARM
1. Prior to wiper arm installation, turn on wiper switch to operate
wiper motor and then turn it ``OFF'' (Auto Stop).
2. Lift the blade up and then set it down onto glass surface. Set
the blade center to clearance ``E'' immediately before tighten-
ing nut.
3. Eject washer ¯uid. Turn on wiper switch to operate wiper motor
and then turn it ``OFF''.
4. Ensure that wiper blades stop within clearance ``E''.
Clearance ``E'': 20 mm (0.79 in)
+Tighten windshield wiper arm nuts to speci®ed torque.
:13-18Nzm (1.3 - 1.8 kg-m,9-13ft-lb)
+Before reinstalling wiper arm, clean up the pivot area as
illustrated. This will reduce possibility of wiper arm loose-
ness.

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.

+When measuring voltage, wrap tin foil around the top of
the negative probe. Then press the foil against the wire
with your ®nger.
2. To locate burned out point, move probe to left and right along
®lament. Test needle will swing abruptly when probe passes the
point.
+If a ®lament is burned out, circuit tester registers 0 or 12
volts.

System Description
+A heat line has been added to the lower portion of the wind-
shield.
+During cold weather, water can freeze between the wiper
blades and windshield. Turning the wiper deicer switch ON
melts the ice between the blades and windshield.
+During snowfall, packed snow can accumulate around the
windshield lower surface and surrounding areas. Turning the
wiper deicer switch ON melts the snow to allow the wiper
blades to more easily remove it.
+The wiper deicer operates only for approximately 15 minutes
while ignition switch is in ON position. The timer is combined
with wiper deicer switch.

and FM modes with accesso-
ries on (switch pops and motor
noise).1. Poor radio ground
2. Antenna
3. Accessory ground
4. Faulty accessory1. Check radio ground.
2. Check antenna.

NOTE:
If the radio has anti-theft function, check the anti-theft function of the radio before circuit inspection.
(Radios which have anti-theft function are equipped with a code indicator. For details, refer to EL-173.)
Speaker inspection
1. Disconnect speaker harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance between speaker terminalsj
1andj2.
+The resistance should be2-4W.
3. Using jumper wires, momentarily connect a 9V battery between speaker terminalsj
1andj2.
+A momentary hum or pop should be heard.
Antenna inspection
Using a jumper wire, clip an auxiliary ground between antenna and body.
+If reception improves, check antenna ground (at body surface).
+If reception does not improve, check main feeder cable for short circuit or open circuit.
Radio inspection
All voltage inspections are made with:
+Ignition switch ON or ACC
+Radio ON
+Radio connected (If removed for inspection, supply a ground to the case using a jumper wire.)
