30. INSPECT LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT OPERATION
Gradually, turn the rheostat knob from the bright side to dark
side and check that the resistance decreases from 10 kW to 0
W between terminal 4 and 5. (Rheostat knob turned to clock-
wise)
If operation is not as specified, replace the rheostat light control.
31. INSPECT WINDOW WASHER LEVEL WARNING
LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the warning switch and
ground terminal on the wire harness side connector.
(b) Engine running and check that the warning light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, inspect the bulb or wire har-
ness.
32. INSPECT WINDOW WASHER LEVEL WARNING
SWITCH CONTINUITY
(a) Check that no continuity exists between the terminals with
the switch OFF (float up).
(b) Check that continuity exists between the terminals with
the switch ON (float down).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch or inspect
ground point.
33. INSPECT SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the retractor 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, inspect the bulb or wire har-
ness.
34. INSPECT SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH CONTINUITY
(a) Check that continuity exists between the terminals 1 and
4 on the switch side connector with the switch ON (belt
fastened).
(b) Check that continuity exists between the terminals 2 and
4 on the switch side connector with the switch OFF (belt
unfastened).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.

5. INSPECT DRIVE BELT
HINT:
A belt tensioner is used, so checking the belt tension is not nec-
essary.
(a) Visually check the drive belt for excessive wear, frayed
cords, etc.
If necessary, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
Cracks on the rib side of a drive belt are considered ac-
ceptable. If the drive belt has chunks missing from the
ribs, it should be replaced.
The drive belt tension can be released by turning the belt
tensioner clockwise.
(b) Check the belt tensioner operation.
Check that the belt tensioner moves downward
when the drive belt is pressed down at the points in-
dicated in the illustration with approx. 98 N (10 kgf,
22.0 lbf) of force.
Check the alignment of the belt tensioner pulley to
make sure the drive belt will not slip off the pulley.
If necessary, replace the belt tensioner.
Check that the arrow mark on the belt tensioner falls
within area A of the scale.
If it is outside area A, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
When a new belt is installed, it should lie within area B. If
not, the drive belt is not correct.
After installing a drive belt, check that it fits properly in the
ribbed grooves.
Check by hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped out
of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.
6. VISUALLY CHECK GENERATOR WIRING AND
LISTEN FOR ABNORMAL NOISES
(a) Check that the wiring is in good condition.
(b) Check that there is no abnormal noise from the generator
while the engine is running.

REMOVAL
1. REMOVE ENGINE UNDER COVER
2. REMOVE DRIVE BELT
Loosen the belt tension by turning the drive belt tensioner clock-
wise, and remove the drive belt.
NOTICE:
At the time of installation, please refer to the following
items. Do an on±vehicle inspection. (See page CH±1)
3. REMOVE GENERATOR
(a) Disconnect the generator connector.
(b) Remove the rubber cap and nut, and disconnect the gen-
erator wire.
(c) Disconnect the engine wire clamp from the wire clip on the
generator.
(d) Remove the bolt and pipe clamp, and disconnect the 2
A/T oil cooler pipes from the generator.
(e) Remove the bolt, nut, pipe bracket and generator.
