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.

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

(a) Fasten the front seat belts.
(b) Drive the car at 10 mph (16 km/h) and slam on the brakes.
Check that the belt locks and cannot be extended at this
time.
HINT:
Conduct  this test in a safe area. If the belt does not lock, remove
the belt mechanism assembly and conduct the following static
check. Also, whenever installing a new belt assembly, verify the
proper operation before installation.
2. Driver 's seat belt (ELR):
STATIC TEST
(a) Make sure that the belt locks when pulled out quickly.
(b) Remove the locking retractor assembly.
(c) Tilt the retractor slowly.
(d) Make sure that the belt can be pulled out at a tilt of 15 de-
grees or less, and cannot be pulled out over 45 degrees
of tilt.
If a problem is found, replace the assembly.
3. Except  driver's seat belt (ALR/ELR):
STATIC TEST
(a) Make sure that the belt locks when pulled out quickly.
(b) Remove the locking retractor assembly.
(c) Pull out the whole belt and measure the length of the
whole belt.
Then retract the belt slightly and pull it out again
(d) Make sure that the belt cannot be extended further.
If a problem is found, replace the assembly.
