REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
For vehicle without air bag system, refer to Section 3C COMBINA-

3C1 CONTACT COIL AND COMBINATION SWITCH ASSEMBLY.
Wiper Motor
1) As illustrated, use a 12 V battery to connect its (+) terminal to ter-
minal ªAº, and its (±) terminal to Black lead wire (2) (Type A, B)
or terminal ªEº (Type C).
If motor (1) rotates at a low revolution speed of 45 to 55 rpm, it
is proper. For high speed check, connect battery (+) terminal to
terminal ªBº, and its (±) terminal to Black lead wire (2) (Type A,
B) or terminal ªEº (Type C). If motor rotates at a high revolution
speed of 67 to 83 rpm, it is proper.

Intermittent Wiper Relay Circuit
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Disconnect combination switch lead wire coupler.
3) Turn the front wiper switch to INT position.
4) Turn the intermittent time control switch to FAST position.
5) Connect battery positive terminal to terminal ªB3º and battery
negative terminal to terminal ªEº.
6) Connect voltmeter positive lead to terminal ª+1º and negative
lead to terminal ªEº.
Check that the voltmeter indicates the battery voltage (10 ±
14 V).
7) Connect terminal ªAsº and terminal ªB3º by a jumper wire. Then
move jumper wire end connected to terminal ªB3º to terminal ªEº.
Observe the voltmeter voltage drops to 0 V right after connecting
the jumper wire from terminal ªB3º to ªEº. Then the voltage rises
to battery voltage (10 ± 14 V) within the time shown in the table
below.

KEY CODING
KEY USAGE AND IDENTIFICATION
Key is used for ignition and door lock cylinder. Keys are cut on both
edges to make them reversible.
Key identification is obtained from five character key code stamped
on key code tag. Using this key code, key code cutting combination
can be determined from a code list (available to owners of key cut-
ting equipment from suppliers).
If key codes are not available from records or tags, key code can
be obtained from the right hand door lock cylinder (if lock has not
been replaced). Lock cylinders supplied by the factory as service
parts are unmarked.
If original key is available, key code cutting combination can be de-
termined by laying key.
