ILLUMINATION CONTROL SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000003776243
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776244
The illumination lamps operation is dependent upon the posit ion of the lighting switch (combination switch).
When the lighting switch is placed in the 1ST or 2ND posit ion (or if the auto light system is activated) the BCM
(body control module) receives input requesting the park ing lamps to illuminate. This input is communicated to
the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) via the CAN communication lines. The CPU
(central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the tail lamp relay coil. When energized, this relay directs
power to the parking and illumination lamps, which then illuminate.
BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the lighting switch (combination switch) is in t he 1ST or 2ND position and the ignition switch is turned
from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control feat ure is activated. Under this condition, the illumination
lamps remain illuminated for 30 minutes unless the light ing switch position is changed. If the lighting switch
position is changed, then the illumination lamps are turned off after a 30 second delay. When the lighting
switch is turned from OFF to 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated) after illumination lamps
have been turned off by the battery saver control, the illumination lamps illuminate again.

5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the
″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of al l control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Liquid GasketINFOID:0000000003771265
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING
• After removing the bolts and nuts, separate the mating surface and
remove the old liquid gasket sealing using Tool.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the mating surfaces.
• Tap the seal cutter to insert it (1).
• In areas where the Tool is difficult to use, lightly tap to slide it (2).
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the gasket application surface and the mating surface using suitable tool.
• Remove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the
liquid gasket application surface, bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces and remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign material.
3. Attach the liquid gasket tube to the Tool. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-15, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
4. Apply the liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location with the specified dimensions.
• If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply theliquid gasket to the groove.
• As for the bolt holes, normally apply the liquid gasket inside
the holes. If specified in the procedure, it should also be
applied outside the holes.
• Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.
• If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
• Do not retighten after the installation.
• Wait 30 minutes or more after installation before refilling the engine with engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe them.

OIL LEVEL
• Before starting the engine make sure the vehicle is parked on a flatand level surface, then check the oil level. If the engine is already
running, turn it off and allow 10 minutes before checking.
• Check that the oil level is within the low (L) and high (H) range as indicated on the dipstick.
• If the engine oil level is out of range, add oil as necessary. Refer to
MA-12, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
OIL APPEARANCE
• Check the engine oil for a white milky appearance or excessive contamination.
• If the engine oil is milky, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant. Repair the broken
parts.
OIL LEAKAGE
Check for oil leakage around the following areas:
•Oil pan
• Oil pan drain plug
• Oil pressure switch
• Oil filter
• Oil cooler
• Intake valve timing control cover
• Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
• Front cover
• Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
• Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
• Crankshaft oil seal (front and rear)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
• Be careful not to burn yoursel f, as engine oil may be hot.
• Put the A/T shift selector in the Park “P” position.
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-8, "
Inspection".
2. Remove engine front undercover using power tool.
3. Disconnect the oil pressure switch harness connector.
4. Remove the oil pressure switch (A).

5. Install Tools.
6. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
7. Check the engine oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
Engine oil pressure [Engine oil temperature at 80
°C (175 °F)]
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2, psi)
CAUTION:
If the difference is extreme, check the oil passages and oil pump for leaks and blockages.
8. After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as follows:
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure switch and engine.
b. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure switch to the specification. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to GI-15, "
Recommended Chemical Prod-
ucts and Sealants".
c. After warming up engine, make sure there is no leakage of engine oil with engine running.
Changing Engine OilINFOID:0000000003771271
WARNING:
• Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
• Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact with used
engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap
or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Remove engine front undercover using power tool.
2. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine compo- nents. Refer to LU-8, "
Inspection".
3. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Loosen oil filler cap, then remove drain plug.
5. Drain engine oil.
6. Install drain plug with new washer. CAUTION:
• Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
7. Refill with new engine oil. Refer to MA-12, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
