needle indicates COOL.
(c) Ground terminal on the wire harness side connector
through a 3.4 W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the bulb lights up
and the receiver gauge needle moves toward the hot
side.
If operation is as specified, replace the sender gauge.
Then recheck the system.

NOTICE:

Do not perform circling calibration of the compass in
a place where the earth's magnetic field is subject to
interference by artificial magnetic fields (under-
ground parking, under a steel tower, between build-
ings, roof parking, near a crossing, near a large ve-
hicle, etc.).

During calibration, do not operate electric systems
(moonroof, power windows, etc.) as they may inter-
fere with the calibration.

If you want to cancel the calibration before it is com-
plete, push the ºMODEº button again.
HINT:
A compass could be magnetized during by vessels of freight
cars. Before delivery, therefore, make sure to perform calibra-
tion and ensure that calibration can be done. If cannot be done
(cannot complete in spite of driving round several times), it may
be caused by magnetization. Demagnetize the vehicle using a
demagnetizer and preform calibration again.
3. PERFORM DEVIATION CALIBRATION
(a) Stop the vehicle and push the ºMODEº button several
times until ºZONE XXº appears on the calender display.
(b) Then push the ºRESET/ADJº button, referring to the fol-
lowing map to select the number of the zone where the
vehicle is.
(c) After calibration, push the ºMODEº button several times
until the calendar display returns to the normal mode.

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).

PRE-CHECK
1. CHARACTERS OF WIRELESS DOOR LOCK
(a) The operation distance changes according to how cus-
tomers hold the transmitter or where it is used.
(b) Because of using the very weak radio wave, if there is a
strong wave or noise on the frequency being used, the op-
eration distance may become shorter.
2. WIRELESS DOOR LOCK BASIC FUNCTION
(a) Stand on the driver's side. Stay 1 m away from the ve-
hicle.
(b) Turn the transmitter toward the vehicle and press any one
of the transmission switched for 1 sec.

(d) Check the fluid leaks.
Check for leaks in the transaxle.
If there are leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace O-rings,
gasket, oil seals, plugs or other parts.
(e) Inspect and adjust the throttle cable.
(1) Check that the accelerator pedal is fully released.
(2) Check that the inner cable is not slack.
(3) Measure the distance between the outer cable end
and stopper on the cable.
Standard distance: 0 - 1 mm (0 - 0.04 in.)
If the distance is not the standard, adjust the cable by adjusting
nuts.
(f) Inspect and adjust the shift lever position.
When shifting the shift lever from the N position to other
positions, check that the lever can be shifted smoothly
and accurately to each position and that the position indi-
cator is aligned with the correct position.
If the indicator is not aligned with the correct position, carry out
the following adjustment procedures.
(1) Loosen the nut on the shift lever.
(2) Push the control shaft fully downward.
(3) Return the control shaft lever 2 notches to N posi-
tion.
(4) Set the shift lever to N position.
(5) While holding the shift lever lightly toward the R
position side, tighten the shift lever nut.
Torque: 13 N´m (130 kgf´cm, 9 ft´lbf)
(6) Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle
moves forward when shifting the lever from the N to
D position and reverses when shifting it to the R
position.
