23. INSPECT REAR LIGHTS WARNING LIGHT
(See page DI±841)
(a) Disconnect the connector from the light failure sensor and
ground terminal 3 on the wire harness side connector.
(b) Start the engine, check that the warning light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, inspect the bulb or wire har-
ness.
24. INSPECT LIGHT FAILURE SENSOR CIRCUIT
Disconnect connector from the light failure sensor and inspect
the connectors on the wire harness side as follows.

*: There is resistance because this circuit is grounded through
the bulb.
If circuit is as specified, replace the relay.
If circuit is not as specified, wiring diagram and inspect the cir-
cuits connected to other parts.
25. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the switch.
(b) Run the engine.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the warning light
lights up approximatery 40 seconds later.
If the warning light does not light up, inspect bulb or wire har-
ness.

DTC P0325Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Knock sensor is fitted to the cylinder block to detect engine knocking. This sensor contains a piezoelectric element which
generates a voltage when it becomes deformed, which occurs when the cylinder block vibrates due to knocking. If engine
knocking occurs, ignition timing is retarded to suppress it.
DTC No. DTC Detecting Condition Trouble Area
P0325No knock sensor 1 signal to ECM with engine speed,
1,200 rpm or more.

ECM
If the ECM detects the above diagnosis conditions, it operates the fall safe function in which the corrective retard angle
value is set to the maximum value.

Diagnostic Trouble Code No. and Detection Item

Circuit Description
The major role and operation, etc. of the circuit
and its component parts are explained.

Indicates the diagnostic trouble code, diagnostic

(a) All connectors in the SRS are colored in yellow to distin-
guish them from other connectors. Connectors having
special functions and specifically designed for the SRS
are used in the locations shown in the diagram on the pre-
vious page to ensure high reliability. These connectors
use durable gold±plated terminals.
(1) Terminal Twin±Lock Mechanism
Each connector has a two±piece component con-
sisting of a housing and a spacer. This design se-
cures the locking of the terminal by two locking de-
vices (the retainer and the lance) to prevent
terminals from coming out.
(2) Airbag Activation Prevention Mechanism
Each connector contains a short spring plate. When
the connector is disconnected, the short spring
plate automatically connects the power source and
grounding terminals of the squib.
