Bulb Replacement
The headlamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replace-
able halogen bulb. The bulb can be replaced from the engine
compartment side without removing the headlamp body.
lGrasp only the plastic base when handling the bulb.
Never touch the glass envelope.
1. Disconnect the battery cable.
2. Disconnect the harness connector from the back side of the
bulb.
3. Pull off the rubber cap.
4. Push and raise retaining pin to loosen it.
5. Remove the headlamp bulb carefully. Do not shake or rotate
the bulb when removing it.
6. Install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Do not leave headlamp reflector without bulb for a long
period of time. Dust, moisture, smoke, etc. entering head-
lamp body may affect the performance of the headlamp.
Remove headlamp bulb from the headlamp reflector just
before a replacement bulb is installed.
Aiming Adjustment
When performing headlamp aiming adjustment, use an aiming
machine, aiming wall screen or headlamp tester. Aimers should
be in good repair, calibrated and operated in accordance with
respective operation manuals.
If any aimer is not available, aiming adjustment can be done as
follows:
For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
a. Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
b. Place vehicle and tester on one and same flat surface.
c. See that there is no-load in vehicle (coolant, engine oil
filled up to correct level and full fuel tank) other than the
driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
CAUTION:
Be sure aiming switch is set to ``0'' when performing aiming
adjustment on vehicles equipped with headlamp aiming
control.

Check the continuity between the terminals of oil pressure switch
and body ground.
DIODE CHECK
lCheck continuity using an ohmmeter.
lDiode is functioning properly if test results are as shown in
the figure at left.
NOTE: Specification 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

SPEAKER INSPECTION
1. Disconnect speaker harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance between speaker terminals
V1andV2.
lThe resistance should be2-4W.
3. Using jumper wires, momentarily connect a 9V battery between speaker terminals
V1andV2.
lA momentary hum or pop should be heard.
ANTENNA INSPECTION
Using a jumper wire, clip an auxiliary ground between antenna and body.
lIf reception improves, check antenna ground (at body surface).
lIf reception does not improve, check main feeder cable for short circuit or open circuit.
RADIO INSPECTION
All voltage inspections are made with:
lIgnition switch ON or ACC
lRadio ON
lRadio connected (If removed for inspection, supply a ground to the case using a jumper wire.)

Parts Requiring Angular Tightening
lUse an angle wrench for the final tightening of the following
engine parts:
(1) Cylinder head bolts
(2) Connecting rod cap nuts for gasoline engines
lDo not use a torque value for final tightening.
lThe torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
lEnsure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with
engine oil.
Liquid Gasket Application Procedure
a. Use a scraper to remove all traces of old liquid gasket
from mating surfaces and grooves. Also, completely
clean any oil from these areas.
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating sur-
faces. (Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.)
lFor oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 3.5 to
4.5 mm (0.138 to 0.177 in) for gasoline engines.
lFor areas except oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diam-
eter is 2.0 to 3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in) for gasoline
engines and 2.5 to 3.5 mm (0.098 to 0.138 in) for
diesel engines.
c. Apply liquid gasket around the inner side of bolt holes
(unless otherwise specified).
d. Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
e. Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling engine oil and
engine coolant.
