CHASSIS ELECTRICAL – Headlamp54-35
Standard values:
Vertical direction25’ (22 mm) below hori-
zontal line (H)
Horizontal
directionLeft headlampParallel to direction of
vehicle travel
Right head-
lamp15’ (13 mm) leftward
from vertical line (V)
Caution:
(1) Perform aiming adjustments, one light at a time,
with the other headlamp disconnected so as not
to be lit unless circumstances compel otherwise.
When reconnecting the headlamps, be careful not
to upset their aim. Do not leave the headlamps
on for any longer than 3 minutes if their outer
lenses are covered with a surface covering
impervious to light.
(2) Do not mask the outer lenses by taping or in any
other way.
(3) Aiming adjustment must be completed with the
aiming adjustment screws turned in the tightening
direction.
INTENSITY MEASUREMENT
1. Position the tester so that its light sensor faces each
headlamp center to center at the appropriate distance
shown.
2. Maintain an engine speed of 2,000 r/minto keep the battery
in the charged condition.
3. Check that the high-beam headlamp intensity at the center
of the high intensity zone satisfies the limit value.
Limit: 15,000 cd or more per headlamp
Caution
(1) Perform intensity measurement, one headlamp at
a time, with the low-beam lamp and the other
headlamp disconnected from the battery unless
circumstances compel otherwise. Do not leave
the headlamps on for any longer than 3 minutes
if their outer lenses are covered with a surface
covering impervious to light.
(2) Do not mask the outer lens surfaces by taping
or in any other way.
HEADLAMP BULB REPLACEMENT
1. Disconnect the connector.
2. Remove the socket cover.
3. Unhook the spring which secures the bulb, and then
remove the bulb.
Caution
Do not touch the surface of the bulb with hands or
dirty gloves. If the surface does become dirty, clean
it with alcohol or thinner, and let it dry thoroughly
before installing.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
HEADLAMP AIMING
Bring the vehicle in the following conditions before aiming
the headlamp.

Check the tires for inflation pressure. Pump them up if
necessary to the labeled pressure level.

Set the vehicle unladen on a level floor.

Place one person (approximately 55 kg) on the driver’s
seat.

Maintain an engine speed of 2,000 r/min to keep the
battery in the charged condition.
1. Position the tester so that its converging lens faces the
fog lamp center to center at a distance of 10 m.
NOTE
Measure the center of the fog lamp as shown.
A: 572.5 mm (from the center of the vehicle body)
B: 360 mm
2. Remove the fog lamp bezel, and using the aiming
adjustment screw, aim the fog lamp to the standard value.
NOTE
The horizontal direction is non-adjustable. If the beam
axis deviation exceeds the standard value, check the
fog lamp to determine if it is installed out of position and
correct if necessary.

PRINTED-HEATER CHECK
1. Run engine at 2,000 r/min. Check heater element with
battery at full.
2. Turn ON rear window defogger switch. Measure heater
element voltage with circuit tester at rear window glass
centre A.
Condition is good if it indicates about 6V.
3. If 12 V is indicated at A, there is a break in the negative
terminals from A.
Move test bar slowly to negative terminal to detect where
voltage changes suddenly (0V).
4. If 0 V is indicated at A, there is a break in the positive
terminals from A. Defect where the voltage changes
suddenly (12 V) in the same method described above.

DUAL PRESSURE SWITCH SIMPLE CHECK
Measure the high-pressure side pressure. If there is a
continuity between the dual pressure switch terminals with
the dual pressure switch in ON condition as shown in the
graph at left, the switch is in good condition. If not, it is faulty.
Replace the switch.

IDLE-UP OPERATION CHECK
1. Before inspection and adjustment, set vehicle in the
pre-inspection condition:
2. Check whether or not the idle speed is the standard value.
Standard value: 700 ± 50 r/min
NOTE
There is no necessity to make an adjustment, because
the idle speed is automatically adjusted by the ISC system.
If, however, there occurs a deviation from the standard
value for some reason, check the fuel control system.
3. When the A/C is running after turning the A/C switch
to ON, check to be sure that the idle speed is at the
standard value.

BCASE COVER, EVAPORATOR REMOVAL
The evaporator, which has been installed in a factory, has
no case cover. Follow the steps below to remove that
evaporator.
1. Cut the case along the shown line to remove the cooling
and blower unit.
2. Remove the air thermo sensor from the evaporator, and
then remove the evaporator towards you, being careful
not to damage its core.
INSPECTION
BLOWER MOTOR CHECK
When battery voltage is applied between the terminals, check
that the motor operates. Also, check that there is no abnormal
noise.
RESISTOR CHECK
Use a circuit tester to measure the resistance between the
terminals as indicated below. Check that the measured value
is at the standard value.
Standard value:
