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
SERVICE SPECIFICATIONSM1542000300332
TROUBLESHOOTING M1542000701281
Features the headlamp automatic shutdown function
to avoid battery drain when the headlamps are left
on. The main features are as follows:
•Extinguishes automatically in three minutes if the
ignition switch is turned off with the lighting switch
on.
•Extinguishes in one second if the driver's door is
opened within that 3-minute period.
•If the headlamps are turned on with the ignition
switch off, the headlamps and tail lamps will
extinguish in three minutes after the driver's door
is opened or closed.
The headlamps 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
Troubleshooting P.54C-22.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
HEADLAMP AIMING
M1542000900538
PRE-AIMING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Inspect for badly rusted or faulty headlamp
assemblies.
2. These conditions must be corrected before a
satisfactory adjustment can be made.
3. Inspect tyre inflation, and adjust if it is necessary.
4. If the fuel tank is not full, place a weight in luggage
room of the vehicle to simulate weight of a full
tank (0.8 kg per litre).
5. There should be no other load in the vehicle other
than driver or substituted weight of approximately
75 kg placed in driver's position.
6. Thoroughly clean the headlamp lenses.7. Place the vehicle on a level floor, perpendicular to
a flat screen 10 m away from the bulb
centre-marks on the headlamp lens.
8. Rock vehicle sideways to allow vehicle to assume
its normal position.
9. Bounce the front suspension through three (3)
oscillations by applying the body weight to hood
or bumper.
10.Four lines of adhesive tape (or equivalent
markings) are required on screen or wall:
(1) Position a vertical tape or mark so that it is
aligned with the vehicle centre line.
(2) Measure the distance from the centre-marks
on the headlamp lens to the floor. Transfer the
measurement to the screen. Horizontal tape or
mark on the screen is for reference of vertical
adjustment. Item Standard value Limit

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

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
