5. INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE VOLTAGE
Measure the voltage between terminals 1 and 6 for each fuel
level.
HINT:
The fuel sender gauge cannot be removed.
As the resistance value changes according to the remaining
fuel amount, refer to the above standard value.
Fuel levelResistance (W)
FullApprox. 430
HalfApprox. 1000 ± 2000
EmptyApprox. 5000
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the fuel tank.
If resistance value is as specified, replace the combination me-
ter.
6. INSPECT TEMPERATURE SENDER RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminal 4 and 8
If the resistance value is not in the following area, replace fuel
tank.
1.5 ± 100 (W) at 0 ± 30°C
7. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the warning switch and
ground terminal of 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

11. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the parking brake switch.
(b) Ground terminal of the wire harness side connector.
(c) Start the engine, check that the warning light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or inspect wire
harness.
12. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE SWITCH CONTINUITY
(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

1. INSPECT DEFOGGER TIMER OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1, 8 and negative (±) lead to terminal 7.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
5 through a 3.4 W test bulb.
(c) Turn the defogger switch ON and check that the indicator
light and test bulb light up for 12 for 18 minutes, then the
indicator light and test bulb lights go out.
If operation is not as specified, inspect the A/C amplifier.

PRE±CHECK
1. OUT LINE OF THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM
When the theft deterrent system detects any theft, it informs
people around with flashing lights and sound.
This system is designed to be upgraded by featuring an option-
al glass break sensor.
All initial setting are performed in active mode. It can be
switched to passive mode by specified operation. (See step 3.
CHANGING METHOD OF PASSIVE MODE)
HINT:
There are 4 conditions in this system which are disarmed state,
arming preparation, armed state and alarm sounding.
(1) Disarmed state
When the alarming function does not oper-
ate.
When theft deterrent function is not per-
formed.
(2) Arming preparation
Time until transferring to armed state.
Theft deterrent function is not performed.
(3) Armed state
When theft deterrent function is possible.
(4) Alarm sounding:
In this condition, once theft is detected, it is in-
formed using light and sound to people around the
vehicle.
Refer to the table for alarming method or time.

HINT:
Alarming output for hazard is same as the one for the hazard
on the vehicle.
In the arming condition when either of doors is unlocked with
key not in the key cylinder, force lock signal is output.

flashes receiving the signal from the immobilizer system at any
time in the armed state.
Flashing frequency:
0.2 seconds (ON)

Answer back:
The hazard lights flush as answer back under the following
conditions.
(1) When the system is set.
When arming preparation is set from disarmed state
using the wireless door lock, the hazard lights flush
once.
(2) When the system is released.
When disarmed state is set from either arming prep-
aration, armed state or alarm sounding using the
wireless door lock, the hazard lights flush twice.
