COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
CHASSIS ELECTRICAL54A-61
NOTE: For tachometer check, use an external
high quality inductive tachometer.
2. Compare the readings of the vehicle tachometer
and the external tachometer at every engine
speed, and check if the variations are within the
standard values.
Standard values:
FUEL TANK GAUGE UNIT CHECKM1543001200461
Remove the fuel tank gauge unit. (Refer to GROUP
13C, Fuel Tank P.13C-4.)
FUEL TANK GAUGE UNIT RESISTANCE
1. Check that resistance value between the fuel
gauge terminal and earth terminal is at the
standard value when the fuel tank gauge unit float
is between position "F" (highest) and position "E"
(lowest).
Standard values:
2. Check that resistance value changes smoothly
when the float moves slowly between position "F"
(highest) and position "E" (lowest).
3. If all checks are correct, go to fuel tank gauge unit
float height check. If any check is not correct,
replace the fuel tank gauge unit.
FUEL TANK GAUGE UNIT FLOAT HEIGHT
1. Move the float and measure height A at position
"F" (highest) and B at position "E" (lowest) with
the float arm touching stopper.
Standard values:
2. If all checks are correct, go to fuel tank gauge unit
float height check. If any check is not correct,
replace the fuel tank gauge unit.

HEADLAMP
CHASSIS ELECTRICAL54A-67
NOTE: Height from the floor to the centre of
the headlamps (Reference value): 840 mm
(3) Measure the distance from the centre line of
the vehicle to the centre of each headlamp.
Transfer the measurement to the screen.
Vertical tape or mark on the screen with
reference to the centre line of each headlamp
bulb.
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION
•Do not cover a headlamp for more than three
minutes to prevent the plastic headlamp lens
deformation.
•When adjusting one headlamp beam, make
sure that another headlamp is off by
disconnecting the connector from it. When
reconnecting the connector, make sure that
the headlamp beam is not disturbed
accidentally.
1. The low-beam headlamp should project on the
screen upper edge of the beam (cut-off).
2. If not the case, turn the adjusting screws to
achieve the specified low-beam cut-off location on
the aiming screen.Standard value:
(Vertical direction) 0.69° below horizontal (H)
(Horizontal direction) Position at which the
stat up point of 15° is crossed with vertical
line (V)
Limit:
Vertical direction; ± 0.29° from the standard
value
Horizontal direction; ± 0.5° from the standard
value
LUMINOUS INTENSITY MEASUREMENTM1542001000464
1. Set the headlamps to high-beam.
2. Using a photometer, and following its
manufacturer's instruction manual, measure the
headlamp centre intensity and check to be sure
that the limit value is satisfied.
Limit: 30,000 cd or more {When a screen is
set 25m ahead of the vehicle}
NOTE: When measuring the intensity, maintain an
engine speed of 2,000 r/min., with the battery fully
charged.
There may be special local regulations pertaining to
headlamp intensity. Be sure to make any
adjustments necessary to satisfy such regulations.
If an illuminometer is used to make the
measurements, convert its values to photometer
values by using the following formula.
I =E x r
2:
•I = intensity (cd)
•E = illumination (lux)
•r = distance (m) from headlamps to illuminometer

FOG LAMP
SERVICE SPECIFICATIONM1542000300343
SPECIAL TOOLM1542000600894
TROUBLESHOOTINGM1542000701292
When the front fog lamp switch is turned to ON with
the tail lamp or the headlamp on (the tail lamp switch
or the headlamp switch is ON), the fog lamp relay
turns on, and the fog lamps will illuminate.
If the tail lamps or the headlamps are turned off with
the lighting switch OFF while the fog lamps are on,
the front fog lamps turn off at the same time to
prevent unattended operation.
If the tail lamps are turned off by the headlamp
automatic shutdown function, the fog lamps turn off
at the same time. However, if the tail lamps illuminate
again, the fog lamps do not.
The front fog lamps are controlled by the Smart
Wiring System (SWS). For troubleshooting, refer to
respective Groups below.
•Not using SWS monitor: GROUP 54B, SWS
Troubleshooting P.54B-38.
•Using SWS monitor: GROUP 54C, SWS

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
FRONT FOG LAMP AIMING CHECKM1542001100438
After setting the vehicles to the following condition,
adjust the front fog lamp aiming.
•Check that the tyre inflation pressure is at the
value indicated on the tyre pressure labels.
•Set the vehicle to the unladen condition and park
it on a level surface.
•Have a single person (approximately 75 kg) sit in
the driver’s seat.•Run the engine at a speed of 2000 r/min to fully
charge the battery.
Turn on the front fog lamps and check that the
illumination is within the standard value range.
Standard value: Illuminates to within 40
metres
CAUTION
For the fog lamp which is not being measured,
disconnect that fog lamp’s connector if possible
so that it does not illuminate while carrying out
the adjustment. Furthermore, make sure that the
light axis does not get shifted when
re-connecting the connector.
If the value is out of the standard value, insert the
screwdriver (+) through the aiming hole on the side
under cover to adjust by turning the adjusting gear
for fog lamp aiming.
NOTE: Horizontal adjustment is not possible.
In addition, the method of checking the light axis on a
screen (simple check) is given below. Item Standard value
