Low Fuel Indicator Light Test
NOTE: For the low fuel indicator circuit diagram, refer to
the gauge assembly circuit diagram (see page 23'2311.
1. Check the No. 25 (7 5 A) luse in the driver's under
dash fuse/relay box before testing
2. Park the vehicle on level ground.

Drain the luel into an approved container. Reinstall
the fueltank drain bolt with a new washer.
Add less than 4L (1 1 U.S Gal, 0.9 lmp Gal) of fuel,
and turn the ignition switch ON (ll). The low fuel
indicator light should come on within four minutes'
. lf the light comes on within four minutes, go to
step 8.
. lf the light does not come on within four min-
utes, go to step 5.

Interlock System
Control Unit Input Test
1. Disconnect the 8P connector from the interlock con-trol unit.
2. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to besure they are all making good contact.. lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repairthem as necessary, and recheck the system.. lf the terminals look OK, make the followinginput tests at the connector.- lf a test indicates a problem, find and correctthe cause, then recheck the system.- lf all the input tests prove OK, substitute aknown-good control unit, and recheck the sys-tem. lf the check is OK, the control unit mustbe faulty; replace it.
NOTE: lf the shift lock solenoid clicks when theignition switch is turned ON {ll) and you step on thebrake pedal (with the shift lever in E), the shift locksystem is electronically normal; if the shift leve.cannot be shifted from E], test the Aff gear position
switch, park pin switch, and see section 14.
