through a 3.4±W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the bulb lights up
and the receiver gauge needle moves towards the full
side.

4. INSPECT FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Connect terminals 8 on the wire harness side connector.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the warning light
lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or inspect wire
harness.

(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and check that the receiver
gauge needle indicates COOL.
(c) Ground terminal on the wire harness side connector
through a 3.4±W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the bulb lights
up and the receiver gauge needle moves to the hot side.
If operation is as specified, replace the sender gauge.
Then, recheck the system.
If operation is not as specified, measure the receiver gauge re-
sistance.
7. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminals.

HINT:
Connect the test leads so that the current from the ohmmeter
can flow according to the above order.
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the receiver
gauge.

just the ammeter pointer to indicate º0º using the slide rheostat,
then read the rheostat indication.

ant temperature sender gauge.
9. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the warning switch and
ground terminal on the wire harness side connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and check that the warning
light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb.
10. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
(a) Disconnect the connector from the switch.
(b) Check that continuity exists between terminal and ground
with the engine stopped.
(c) Check that no continuity exists between terminal and
ground with the engine running.
HINT:
Oil pressure should be over 24.5 kPa (0.25 kgf/cm
2, 3.55 psi).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.

If the specific gravity is less than specification, charge the bat-
tery.
3. Maintenance±Free Battery:
CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE
(a) After having driven the vehicle and in the case that 20
minutes have not passed after having stopped the en-
gine, turn the ignition switch ON and turn on the electrical
system (headlight, blower motor, rear defogger etc.) for
60 seconds to remove the surface charge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch OFF and turn off the electrical sys-
tems.
(c) Measure the battery voltage between the negative (±)

tor, and connect it to the negative (±) tester probe
of the ammeter.
(2) Connect the positive (+) tester probe of the amme-
ter to terminal B of the generator.
(3) Connect the positive (+) tester probe of the voltme-
ter to terminal B of the generator.
(4) Ground the negative (±) tester probe of the voltme-
ter.
