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-

the switch ON (float down).
(f) Pour the fluid back in the reservoir tank.
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
20. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE WARNING SWITCH CON-
TINUITY
(a) Check that continuity exists between terminal and switch
body with the switch ON (switch pin released).
(b) Check that no continuity exists between terminal and
switch body with the switch OFF (switch pin pushed in).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch or inspect
ground  point.
21. INSPECT REAR LIGHTS WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect  the connector from the light failure sensor and
ground  terminal 4 on the wire harness side connector.
