Rotate the hood bumper by using arrow mark on the
hood bumper as a guide to adjust the hood height. If
the hood bumper is rotated just one turn, the hood
height changes by approximately 3 mm.

3. If there is a difference in height between the side
outer panels and the side edges of the trunk lid
panel assembly, check the trunk lid hinges and, if
necessary, replace them
4. If the clearance around the trunk lid panel
assembly is not uniform, and the trunk lid can be
locked and unlocked smoothly, make adjustments
to the trunk lid bumpers (refer to P.42-42) and
trunk lid hinges (Refer to P.42-42).
5. If the locking and unlocking of the trunk lid still is
difficult after making the above adjustments,
adjust the trunk lid striker (Refer to P.42-42).

Loosen the trunk lid panel assembly mounting bolts
and move the trunk lid panel assembly to make the
clearance around the trunk lid uniform.
TRUNK LID STRIKER ADJUSTMENTM1421008200036
After checking the trunk lid release cable for proper
routing, loosen the trunk lid striker mounting bolts.
Change the position of the trunk lid striker relative to
the trunk lid latch assembly so that trunk lid locking
and unlocking effort is correct.
TRUNK LID HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTM1421008300033
Turn each trunk lid bumper until the height shown in
the drawing is reached. If the trunk lid panel height
on one side is different from that on the other side
(even after the trunk lid bumpers have been adjusted
to the height indicated in the drawing), turn the trunk
lid bumper(s) slightly to make fine adjustments to the
trunk lid panel height.
NOTE: When the bumper is new, one full turn of the
trunk lid bumper changes the height approximately 3
mm. Turn it clockwise to reduce height. Turn it
anticlockwise to increase height.

WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
EXTERIOR51-22
SERVICE SPECIFICATIONM1511000300325
TROUBLESHOOTINGM1511000700323
The windshield wiper and washer are controlled by
the Smart Wiring System (SWS). For
troubleshooting, refer to GROUP 54B,
Troubleshooting P.54B-17 or GROUP 54C,
Troubleshooting P.54C-4.
NOTE: Even when the ETACS-ECU has failed, the
windshield wiper can work at low speed as fail-safe
mode. (Normally, the windshield wiper operates
when the ignition switch is at the "ACC" position. But,
if it enters the fail-safe mode, the wiper can operate
only when the ignition switch is at the "ON" position.)
ON-VEHICLE SERVICEM1511000800461
WINDSHIELD INTERMITTENT WIPER
INSPECTION
1. If the windshield intermittent wiper interval
adjusting knob is operated, the wiper interval
should change.
2. Holding the windshield intermittent wiper interval
adjusting knob, input the simulated vehicle speed
with MUT-II MB991502 and check that the wiper
interval changes as the vehicle speed changes.
3. If not, carry out the troubleshooting (Refer to
GROUP 54B, Troubleshooting P.54B-17 or
GROUP 54C, Troubleshooting P.54C-4). ItemStandard value
Windshield wiper blade park position mm 34 ± 5

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.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE UNIT CHECK
M1543001500398
1. Drain the engine coolant. (Refer to GROUP 14,
On-vehicle Service P.14-22.)
2. Remove the engine coolant temperature gauge
unit. Engine speed (r/min) Indication allowance of

PRINTED HEATER LINES CHECKM1543001800311
1. Run engine at 2,000 r/min. Check heater element
with battery at full.
2. Turn "ON" rear window defogger switch. Measure
heater element voltage with circuit tester at rear
window glass centre A. Condition is good if it
indicates about six volts.
3. If 12 volts is indicated at A, there is a break in the
negative terminals from A. Move test bar slowly to
negative terminal to detect where voltage
changes suddenly (0 volts).
4. If 0 volts is indicated at A, there is a break in the
positive terminals from A. Defect where the
voltage changes suddenly (12 volts) in the same
method described above.
