Overall Function CheckNLEC0664Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling fan.
During this check, a DTC might not be confirmed.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from
the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Carefully remove the cap
by turning it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to
escape. Then turn the cap all the way off.
WITH CONSULT-IINLEC0664S011) Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank and radiator.
Allow engine to cool before checking coolant level.
If the coolant level in the reservoir tank and/or radiator is below
the proper range, skip the following steps and go to ªDiagnos-
tic Procedureº, EC-1206.
2) Confirm whether customer filled the coolant or not. If customer
filled the coolant, skip the following steps and go to ªDiagnos-
tic Procedureº, EC-1206.
3) Turn ignition switch ªONº.
4) Perform ªCOOLING FANº in ªACTIVE TESTº mode with CON-
SULT-II and make sure that cooling fans operate when touch-
ing ªHIGHº or ªLOWº.
If NG, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-1206.
WITHOUT CONSULT-IINLEC0664S021) Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank and radiator.

tic Procedureº, EC-1206.
2) Confirm whether customer filled the coolant or not. If customer
filled the coolant, skip the following steps and go to ªDiagnos-
tic Procedureº, EC-1206.
3) Start engine.
Be careful not to overheat engine.

Aiming AdjustmentNLEL0016For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
Before performing aiming adjustment, check the following.
1) Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
2) Place vehicle on flat surface.
3) See that there is no-load in vehicle (coolant, engine oil filled up
to correct level and full fuel tank) other than the driver (or
equivalent weight placed in driver's position).

CAUTION:
Be sure aiming switch is set to ª0º when performing aiming
adjustment on vehicles equipped with headlamp aiming con-
trol.

LOW BEAMNLEL0016S021. Turn headlamp low beam on.
2. Use adjusting screws to perform aiming adjustment.
+First tighten the adjusting screw all the way and then
make adjustment by loosening the screw.

+Adjust headlamps so that main axis of light is parallel to
center line of body and is aligned with point P shown in
illustration.

ing on right side of road; for driving on left side of road,
aiming pattern is reversed.

1) Keep all tires inflated to correct pressure.
2) Place vehicle on level ground.
3) See that vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant,
engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack, and tools). Have the
driver or equivalent weight placed in driver's seat.
Adjust aiming in the vertical direction by turning the adjusting
screw.

POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUITNLEL0442S03Power is supplied at all times
+through 10A fuse [No. 12, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
+to combination meter terminal 8.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
+through 10A fuse [No. 30, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
+to combination meter terminal 9.
Ground is supplied
+through body grounds M28 and M48
+to combination meter terminal 7.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGENLEL0442S04The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature. The reading on the gauge is based
on the resistance of the thermal transmitter.
As the temperature of the coolant increases, the resistance of the thermal transmitter decreases. A variable
ground is supplied to terminal 5 of the combination meter for the water temperature gauge. The needle on the
gauge moves from ªCº to ªHº.
TACHOMETERNLEL0442S05The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
The tachometer is regulated by a signal
+from terminal 32 (Gasoline engine models) or 439 (Diesel engine models) of the ECM
+to combination meter terminal 19 for the tachometer.
FUEL GAUGENLEL0442S06The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is regulated by a variable ground signal supplied
+from body grounds M28 and M48
+through terminals 4 and 7 of combination meter,
+through terminal 1 of the fuel level sensor unit and
+through terminal 4 of the fuel level sensor unit
+to combination meter terminal 3 for the fuel gauge.
SPEEDOMETERNLEL0442S07The combination meter provides a voltage signal to the vehicle speed sensor for the speedometer.
The voltage is supplied
+from combination meter terminal 18 for the speedometer
+to terminal 1 of the vehicle speed sensor.
Ground is supplied
+from body grounds M28 and M48
+through terminals 6 and 7 of combination meter
+to terminal 2 of the vehicle speed sensor.
The speedometer converts the voltage into the vehicle speed displayed.
