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.
3.
4.
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.
Remove the access panel lrom the Iloor'
Turn the ignition switch OFF, then disconnect the
fuel tank sending unit 3P connector.
Connect the fuel tank sending unit 3P terminals No'
1 and No. 3 with a jumPer wire
. lf the light comes on, replace the fuel gauge
sending unit (see Page 23 1421
. lf the light does not come on, check for:
- An open in the GRN/YEL wire between the
fuel gauge sending unit and the fuel gauge
- A blown bulb.- A poor ground (G552)

Park Pin Switch Test
1, Remove the front console (see section 2Ol.
Disconnect the 4P connector from the park pinswitch.
Check for continuity between the No. 3 and No. 4terminals with:- the shift lever any position other than E, or- the push button pushed in E.There should be continuity.
Check for continuity between the No. 3 and No. 4terminals with the shift lever in E and the push but-ton released. There should be no continuiw. lf nec-essary, replace the park pin switch.
NOTE: Park pin switch 4p connector No. 1 and No.2terminals are lor Ay'T gear position console light.refer to the circuit diagram on page 23-1S0.

A/T Gear Position Switch Test
1. Remove the front console (see section 2O).
2. Disconnect the 14P connector from the A/T gear position switch.
3. Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table.
' Move the shift lever back and forth without pushing the shift lever at each switch position, and check for continuitywithin the range of free play of the shift lever.' lf there is no continuity within the range of free play, adjust the position of the switch as described on the nextpage.

Combination Light Switch Test
1.Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover and steering column covers (see section 20)
Disconnect the 4P and 7P connectors from the switch.
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 theterminals look OK, check for continuity between them ineach switch position according tothetables lfthere
is no continuity between any of them. check for continuity in the switch harness
- lf there is continuity in the switch harness. replace the combination light switch
- lf there is no continuity in the switch harness, replace it.
