Step Check Yes No
1CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR INTAKE
DOOR ACTUATOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the intake door actuator con-
nector.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between intake door
actuator connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B91) No. 7 (+) — Chassis ground (–):
Is the voltage 8 V (at normal
temperature)?
Go to step 2.Check for open or
short circuit in the
harness between
intake door actua-
tor and fuse.
2CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN AUTO A/C
CONTROL MODULE AND INTAKE DOOR
ACTUATOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the auto A/C control module
connector.
3) Measure the resistance between intake
door actuator connector and auto A/C control
module connector.
Connector & terminal
(B283) No. 10 — (B91) No. 1:
(B283) No. 23 — (B91) No. 3:
Is the resistance less than 1
Ω?
Go to step 3.Repair the har-
ness between auto
A/C control mod-
ule and intake
door actuator.
3CHECK OPERATION OF INTAKE DOOR AC-
TUATOR.
1) Connect the intake door actuator connec-
tor.
2) Ground the auto A/C control module con-
nector with a suitable wire.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and check
the operation of intake door actuator.
Connector & terminal
(B283) No. 10 — Chassis ground:
Does the actuator move to the
FRESH side?
Go to step 4.Replace the intake
door actuator.
REMOVAL, Actua-
tor.>
4CHECK OPERATION OF INTAKE DOOR AC-
TUATOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Ground the auto A/C control module con-
nector with a suitable wire.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and check
the operation of intake door actuator.
Connector & terminal:
(B283) No. 23 — Chassis ground:
Does the actuator move to the
RECIRC side?
Replace the auto
A/C control mod-
ule. 32, REMOVAL,

Headlight Assembly
LIGHTING SYSTEM
10.Headlight Assembly
A: REMOVAL
1) Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
2) Remove the air intake duct.
3) Remove the engine front cover.
4) Disengage the three clips, and then turn over the
mud guard.
5) Remove the three bolts securing the headlight
assembly from the lower side of vehicle.
6) Remove the two bolts and then remove the
headlight assembly.
7) Disconnect the connector and then detach the
rear headlight assembly.
B: INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
C: ADJUSTMENT
1. HEADLIGHT AIMING
NOTE:
Aiming of this headlight can be adjusted only in the
vertical direction. It cannot be adjusted in the hori-
zontal direction.
CAUTION:
Turn off the light before adjusting the headlight
beam level. If it is necessary to inspect the
beam level, do not turn on the lamp for more
than two minutes.
NOTE:
Before checking the headlight beam level, be sure
of the following:
•Check the area around the headlight for any
scratches, damage or other type of deformation.
•Make sure that the vehicle is parked on a level
surface.
•Make sure that the inflation pressure of tires are
correct.
•Check that the vehicle fuel tank is full.
1) Bounce the vehicle several times to normalize
the suspension.
2) Make certain that someone is seated in the driv-
er's seat.

Headlight Bulb
LIGHTING SYSTEM
11.Headlight Bulb
A: REMOVAL
1. HIGH BEAM AND LOW BEAM
CAUTION:
•Because the halogen bulb operates at a high
temperature, dirt and oil on the bulb surface re-
duces the bulb's service life. Hold the flange
portion when replacing the bulb. Never touch
the glass portion.
•Do not leave the headlight without a bulb for
a long time. Dust, moisture, etc. entering the
headlight may affect its performance.
1) Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
2) Remove the air intake duct. (When removing the
headlight bulb RH)
3) Remove the battery. (When removing the head-
light bulb LH)
4) Disconnect the harness connector.
5) Remove the bulb assembly (A) then remove the
high beam. To remove the low beam, remove the
back cover (B), and then go to the next step.
6) Remove the light bulb retaining spring (A) to re-
move bulb.
B: INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
C: INSPECTION
1) Visually check the bulb for blow out.
2) Check the bulb specification.
