15. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SEND-
ER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Connect the wire harness as shown in the illustration, and ad-
just the ammeter pointer to indicate º0º using the slide rheostat,
then read the rheostat indication.
Temperature °C (°F)Resistance (W)
50 (122.0)160 - 240
120 (248.0)17.1 - 21.2
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the engine cool-
ant sender gauge.
16. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the warning switch and
ground terminal on the wire harness side connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the warning light
lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or inspect wire
harness.
17. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING SWITCH
OPERATION
(a) Check that continuity exists between the terminal and
ground with the engine stopped.
(b) Check that no continuity exists between the terminal and
ground with the engine running.
HINT:
Oil pressure should be over 29 kPa (0.35 kgf/cm
2, 4.3 psi)
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
18. INSPECT BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the brake fluid warning
switch.
(b) Release the parking brake pedal.
(c) Connect the terminals on the wire harness side of the lev-
el warning switch connector.
(d) Start the engine, check that the warning light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or wire har-
ness.

5. INSPECT DEFOGGER WIRE
NOTICE:
When cleaning the glass, use a soft, dry cloth, and wipe the
glass in the direction of the wire. Take care not to damage
the wires. Do not use detergents or glass cleaners with
abrasive ingredients. When measuring voltage, wind a
piece of tin foil around the top of the negative probe and
press the foil against the wire with your finger, as shown.
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Turn the defogger switch ON.
(c) Inspect the voltage at the center of each heat wire, as
shown.
VoltageCriteria
Approx. 5 VOkay (No break in wire)
Approx. 10 V or 0 VBroken wire
HINT:
If there is approximately 10 V, the wire is broken between the
center of the wire and the positive (+) end. If there is no voltage,
the wire is broken between the center of the wire and ground.
(d) Place the voltmeter positive (+) lead against the defogger
positive (+) terminal.
(e) Place the voltmeter negative (-) lead with the foil strip
against the heat wire at the positive (+) terminal end and
slide it toward the negative (-) terminal end.
(f) The point where the voltmeter deflects from zero to sever-
al V is the place where the heat wire is broken.
HINT:
If the heat wire is not broken, the voltmeter indicates 0 V at the
positive (+) end of the heat wire but gradually increases to about
12 V as the meter probe is moved to the other end.
6. IF NECESSARY, REPAIR DEFOGGER WIRE
(a) Clean the broken wire tips with a grease, wax and silicone
remover.
(b) Place the masking tape along both sides of the wire to be
repaired.
(c) Thoroughly mix the repair agent (Dupont paste No.
4817).

6. Stopping at stop position:
INSPECT WIPER MOTOR OPERATION
(a) Operate the motor at low speed and stop the motor opera-
tion anywhere except at the stop position by disconnect-
ing positive (+) lead from terminal 3.
(b) Connect terminals 1 and 5.
(c) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
2 and the negative (-) lead from the battery to the motor
body or terminal 4, and check that the motor stops run-
ning at the stop position after the motor operates again.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.
7. INSPECT WASHER MOTOR OPERATION
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 2 and
the negative (-) lead to terminal 1, check that the motor oper-
ates.
NOTICE:
These tests must be performed quickly (within 20 seconds)
to prevent the coil from burning out.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.
