Fuel Warning Lamp Sensor CheckNBEL01661. Turn ignition switch ªOFFº.
2. Disconnect fuel level sensor unit harness connector B12.
3. Connect a resistor (80W) between fuel tank gauge unit harness
connector terminals 2 and 3.
4. Turn ignition switch ªONº.
The fuel warning lamp should come on.
NOTE:
ECM might store the 1st trip DTC P0180 during this inspection.
If the DTC is stored in ECM memory, erase the DTC after recon-
necting fuel tank gauge unit harness connector.
Refer to EC-60, ªHOW TO ERASE EMISSION-RELATED DIAG-
NOSTIC INFORMATIONº.

DIODE CHECKNBEL0051S03ICheck continuity using an ohmmeter.
IDiode is functioning properly if test results are as shown in the
figure at left.
ICheck diodes at the combination meter harness connector
instead of checking them on the combination meter assembly.
Refer to EL-115, ªWARNING LAMPº wiring diagrams.
NOTE:
Specification may vary depending on the type of tester. Before
performing this inspection, be sure to refer to the instruction
manual for the tester to be used.

System DescriptionNBEL0206OUTLINENBEL0206S01Electric sunroof system consists of
ISunroof switch
ISunroof motor
IPower window relay
ISmart entrance control unit
Smart entrance control unit controls retained power operation.
OPERATIONNBEL0206S02The sunroof can be opened or closed and tilted up or down with the sunroof switch.
AUTO OPERATIONNBEL0206S03The power sunroof AUTO feature makes it possible to open and close the sunroof without holding the sunroof
switch in the down or up position.
RETAINED POWER OPERATIONNBEL0206S04When the ignition switch is turned to OFF position from ON or START position, power is supplied for 45 sec-
onds
Ito power window relay terminal 2
Ifrom smart entrance control unit terminal 5.
Ground is always supplied
Ito power window relay terminal 1
Ithrough body grounds.
When power and ground are supplied, power window relay continues to be energized, and the electrical sun-
roof can be operated.
The retained power operation is canceled when the driver or passenger side door is opened.
INTERRUPTION DETECTION FUNCTIONNBEL0206S05The CPU of sunroof motor monitors the sunroof motor operation and the sunroof position (full closed or other)
for sunroof by the signals from encoder and limit switch in sunroof motor.
When sunroof motor detects interruption during the following close operation,
Iautomatic close operation when ignition switch is in the ªONº position
Iautomatic close operation during retained power operation
sunroof switch controls the motor for open and the sunroof will operate about 150 mm (5.91 in).

into the SLEEP MODE to save battery power supply. Communica-
tion with Communicator Response Center is not available in the
SLEEP MODE.
To wake up the system, perform either of the following operations.
ITurn Ignition switch ON.

when ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON and the
system performs a self check.
IIf both of MAYDAY and INFORMATION indicators do not
turn off 30 seconds or more after the ignition switch is
turned to ON, the system is malfunctioning.
