TRUNK
Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the owner.
In addition look for:
1. Trunk lid dumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment
3. Trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose license plate or bracket
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINER
Noises in the sunroof/headliner area can often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise
2. Sunvisor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headliner and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.
SEATS
When isolating seat noise it's important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditions should be duplicated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. Rear seat back lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of these incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component mounted to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator mounting pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noise can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine RPM
or load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

HEADLAMP AIMING CONTROL (AUTO)PFP:53821
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationEKS00N5W
System DescriptionEKS00N5X
With the lighting switch in the 1ST or 2ND position, the height sensor detects change in the vehicle height and
transmits a corresponding signal to the headlamp aiming motors. The signal drives the headlamp aiming
motors, which adjusts the low beam reflector of each headlamp to an angle appropriate for the vehicle height.
When the vehicle is stationary, the motors move the reflectors if the vehicle height changes to a certain height
and the height is maintained for a predetermined period. When the vehicle is running (excluded when acceler-
ating/decelerating), the reflector angle is adjusted at predetermined intervals.
OUTLINE
Power is supplied at all times

through 10A fuse (No. 31, located in fuse and fusible link box)

to lighting switch terminal 11, and

to daytime light control unit terminal 1 (with daytime light system).
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 5, located in fuse block (J/B)]

to height sensor terminal 1, and

to headlamp aiming motor RH and LH terminal 1.
Ground is supplied

to height sensor terminal 5

through grounds B107 and B119,

HEADLAMP AIMING CONTROL (AUTO)


through grounds E24 and E50.
HEADLAMP AIMING CONTROL OPERATION
The height sensor is located on the right side of the rear suspension member and detects vehicle height
change by sensing the displacement of the suspension arm.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 5 located in fuse block (J/B)]

to height sensor terminal 1, and

to headlamp aiming motor RH and LH terminal 1.
At the same time, the vehicle height signal (voltage signal that corresponds to the vehicle height) is applied

through height sensor terminal 3

to headlamp aiming motor RH and LH terminal 2.
Ground is supplied

to headlamp aiming motor RH and LH terminal 3

through grounds E24 and E50,

to height sensor terminal 5

through grounds B107 and B119.
And the voltage level of this signal is maintained.
When the lighting switch is placed in the 1ST or 2ND position, power is supplied (without daytime light system)

through lighting switch terminal 12

to height sensor terminal 8.
When the lighting switch is placed in the 1ST or 2ND position, power is supplied (with daytime light system)

through lighting switch terminal 12

to daytime light control unit terminal 11

through daytime light control unit terminal 10

to height sensor terminal 8.
Ground is supplied

to height sensor terminal 5

through grounds B107 and B119.
The height sensor starts the aiming control.
When the stopped vehicle changes the height and keeps it for more than 10 seconds, the height sensor out-
puts a headlamp aiming motor drive signal. And height sensor keeps signal voltage to headlamp aiming motor.
(Voltage depends on the vehicle height.)
Upon reception of the headlamp aiming motor drive signal, both headlamp aiming motors cause the low beam
reflectors to move to the position commanded by the signal.
When the vehicle is running (excluded when accelerating/decelerating), the height sensor transmits headlamp
aiming motor drive signal to headlamp aiming motors at the predetermined intervals. The voltage level of
every signal input is maintained unchanged until the next signal is input.
Upon reception of the headlamp aiming motor drive signal, both headlamp aiming motors cause the low beam
reflectors to move to the position commanded by the signal.
When the vehicle is accelerating or decelerating, the height sensor keeps the same headlamp aiming motor
drive signal voltage level rather than changing it, so that the low beam reflectors of both headlamps do not
operate.
When the lighting switch is turned OFF, the height sensor retains the headlamp aiming motor drive signal level
at that moment and stops transmitting the signal.

COMBINATION METERS

COMBINATION METERSPFP:24814
System DescriptionEKS00EGZ
UNIFIED CONTROL METER

Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge and water temperature gauge are controlled by the
unified meter control unit, which is built into the combination meter.

Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter.*
*The record of the odo meter is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter
is erased when the battery cable is disconnected.

Odo/trip meter segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.

Meter/gauge can be checked in diagnosis mode.
HOW TO CHANGE THE DISPLAY FOR ODO/TRIP METER

The vehicle speed signal and the memory signals from the meter memory circuit are processed by the
combination meter and the mileage is displayed.

Ambient temperature indicator indicates signal from ambient sensor processed by combination meter.

Depressing the odo/trip meter switch toggles the mode in the following order.

The odo/trip meter display mode toggling and trip display resetting can be identified by the amount of time
that elapses from pressing the odo/trip meter switch to releasing it.

When resetting with trip A displayed, only trip A display is reset (The same way for trip B).
POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
Power is supplied at all times

through 10A fuse [No. 28, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminal 1.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 11, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminals 2.
Ground is supplied

to combination meter terminals 21

through grounds M27 and M70.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
ECM provides an engine coolant temperature signal to combination meter for water temperature gauge with
CAN communication line.

CAN CommunicationEKS00EH0
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
