Trouble Diagnoses
Before conducting an alternator test, make sure that the battery is fully charged. A 30-volt voltmeter and
suitable test probes are necessary for the test. The alternator can be checked easily by referring to the
Inspection Table.
lBefore starting, inspect the fusible link.
lUse fully charged battery.

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.

System Description
OPERATION
Headlamp system on vehicles for North Europe contains a daytime light system. The unit operates to illu-
minate headlamps low beam, parking, tail, license lamps and illuminations automatically in the following
conditions.
lThe engine is running with lighting switch in OFF position.
When the any of following conditions exists, the daytime light operation will be canceled.
lIgnition switch is in any position other than ON
lEngine is stopped
lLighting switch is turned to 1st or 2nd position.
If the daytime light system is canceled, lighting switch operations are the same as for conventional light sys-
tem.
DAYTIME LIGHT IS OPERATING
(With engine running and lighting switch in OFF position)
With engine running, power is supplied
lfrom alternator terminal L
lthrough daytime light control unit terminalV8
lto base of transistor-2 in the daytime light control unit.
The transistor-2 supplies ground path to all relays. Then the relays energize to illuminate lamps.
