facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains, or into water sources.
The regulations concerning po llution vary between regions.

PRECAUTIONS
• Never reverse polarity of battery terminals.
• Install only parts specified for a vehicle.
• Before replacing the control unit, check the i nput and output and functions of the component parts.
• Do not apply excessive force when disconnecting a connector.
SGI838
STEP DESCRIPTION
STEP 1 Get detailed information about the conditions and the environment when the incident occurred.
The following are key pieces of information required to make a good analysis:
WHAT
Vehicle Model, Engine, Transmission/Transaxle and the System (i.e. Radio).
WHEN Date, Time of Day, Weather Conditions, Frequency.
WHERE Road Conditions, Altitude and Traffic Situation.
HOW System Symptoms, Operating Conditions
(Other Components Interaction).
Service History and if any After Market Accessories have been installed.
STEP 2 Operate the system, road test if necessary.
Verify the parameter of the incident.
If the problem cannot be duplicated, refer to “Incident Simulation Tests”.
STEP 3 Get the proper diagnosis materials together including:
• Power Supply Routing
• System Operation Descriptions
• Applicable Service Manual Sections
• Check for any Service Bulletins
Identify where to begin diagnosis based upon your knowledge of the system operation and the customer comments.
STEP 4 Inspect the system for mechanical binding, loose connectors or wiring damage.
Determine which circuits and components are involved and diagnose using the Power Supply Routing and Harness Lay-
outs.
STEP 5 Repair or replace the incident circuit or component.
STEP 6 Operate the system in all modes. Verify the system works properly under all conditions. Make sure you have not inad-
vertently created a new incident during your diagnosis or repair steps.

< BASIC INSPECTION >
SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide guides)
during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under s eating areas, inspect wire routing for possible damage or
pinching.
HEAT SENSITIVE
• The customer's concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such cases you will want to check for a
heat sensitive condition.
• To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or equivalent.
CAUTION:
Do not heat components above 60 °C (140° ).
• If incident occurs while heating the unit, either replace or properly insulate the component.
FREEZING
• The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the carwarms up (winter time). The cause could be related to water freez-
ing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
• There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car overnight. Make sure it will get cold
enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked out-
side overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis
of those electrical components which could be affected.
• The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to freeze. Reinstall the part into the car
and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs, repair or
replace the component.
WATER INTRUSION
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy
weather. In such cases the incident could be caused by water intru-
sion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking the car
or running it through a car wash.
CAUTION:
Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.
ELECTRICAL LOAD
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with
all accessories (including A/C, rear window defogger, radio, fog
lamps) turned on.
COLD OR HOT START UP
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may occur when
the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to keep the car overnight to
make a proper diagnosis.

FRONT DOOR GLASS AND REGULATOR
NOTE:
If any of the following work has been done, reset the power window motor limit switch.
• Removal and installation of the regulator assembly.
• Removal and installation of the power window motor from the regulator.
• Installation of a new glass window.
• Installation of a new glass run.
Check the label on the power window motor for the part number. If the power window motor part number
matches one of the following, the motor must be removed from the regulator and the limit switch reset using
the "INSTALLATION WITHOUT RESET SWITCH" pr ocedure in "FRONT DOOR GLASS REGULATOR
ASSEMBLY".
• 80730-ZT01A
• 80731-ZT01A
• 80730-ZM70B
• 80731-ZM70B
If the power window motor part number does not match one of the part numbers above, the limit switch can be
reset in the vehicle using the "INSTA LLATION WITH RESET SWITCH" procedure.
NOTE:
• The label can be checked with the power window motor in the vehicle by using a mirror.
• Some of the power window motors with the part num bers above may appear to have a reset switch, but it will
not reset the limit switch.
Fitting Inspection
• Check that the glass is securely fit into the glass run groove.
• Lower the glass slightly [approximately 10 to 20 mm (0 .39 to 0.79 in)] and check that the clearance to the
sash is parallel. If the clearance between the glass and sash is not parallel, loosen the regulator bolts, guide
rail bolts, and glass and guide rail bolts to correct the glass position.
