LRemove the driver's dashboard lower cover and
knee bolster (see section 20).
Disconnect the connectors from the daytime run-
ning lights control unit.
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be
sure they are all making good contact.
lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded. repair
them as necessary, and recheck the system.
lf the terminals look OK, make the following
input tests at the connector,- lf any test indicates a problem, find and correct
the cause, then recheck the system.- lf all the input tests prove OK, the control unit
must be faulty; replace it.

Headlights
Adjustment (cont'dl
Turn the low beams on.
Determine if the headlights are aimed properly.
Vsrtical adiustmsnt:
Measure the height of the headlights (A). The lights
should reflect 52 mm \2.1 in.) below (B) headlight
height.
Horizontal adi$tment:
The width of the refracting points (C) should be the
same as the width of the headlight central points (D,
23-170
7. lf necessary, adjust the headlights to local require-
ments by turning the horizontal adjuster (A) and the
vertical adjuster (B).
After headlight replacement, it may be necessary to
readjust the horizontal indicator gear.
. First installthe headlight, and adjust its horizontal
and vertical aimings according to local require-
ments.
. Then check that the arrow on the horizontal indi-
cator gear is aligned with the mark on the hori-
zontal indicator,- lf they are not aligned, remove the screw, adjust
the indicator gear, and retighten the screw.
NOTE: As the outer lenses are made of an acryli-
coated, polycarbonated material, do not cover the
headlights when they are turned on.

- How the Circuit Works
Low Beams
With the headlight switch in HEAD and the dimmer
switch in LO, current tlows through the headlight
switch. fuse 21 . fuse 22. and the low beam
tilaments to ground, and the low beams come on.
High Beams
With the headlight switch in HEAD and the dimmer
switch in Hl, current flows through the headlight
switch, dimmer switch, fuses 4, 5, and the high
beam filaments to ground, and the high beams
come on.
Current also llows through the high beam indicator
light to ground. The high beam indicator comes on
to remind the driver that the high beams are on.
Flash-to-Pass
The flash feature works with the headlight switch in
OFF, PARK, or HEAD (low beams). When you move
the flash-to-pass switch to ON, current flows
through the switch, fuses 4 and 5, and the high
beam filaments to ground, and the high beams
flash. The high beam indicator also flashes during
the flash operation. The flash function has no effect
if the high beams are already on
Daytime Running Lights (Canada)
When you turn the ignition to ON (ll) with the
parking brake released, the daytime running lights
control unit supplies battery voltage at the
WHT/RED wire. This voltage is applied to the high
beam headlights through the daytime running lights
resistor. Each high beam headlight receives less
than battery voltage causing them to come on at
reduced brightness.
lf the parking brake is set, a ground signal is applied
to the daytime running lights control unit at the
RED/GRN wire. lf the parking brake is set when you
first turn the ignition switch to ON (ll), the high beam
headlights will remain off until you release the
parking brake. Once the high beam headlights are
on, setting the parking brake will not turn them ofi.
When low or high beam operation is requested,
battery voltage from the headlight switch is applied
to the daytime running light control unit via the RED
wire. The daytime running lights control unit then
turns off the headlights.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23, Electrical)
for specific tests or lroubleshootrng procedures.
