Fuel Gauge
Gauge Test
NOTE: Refer to page 23-123 for the fuel gauge system
circuit.
1. Check the No. 25 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash
fuse/relay box before testing.
2. Remove the rear seat (see section 20).
Remove the protective cover and access panel from
the tloor.
With the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the 3p con-nector from the fuel gauge sending unit.

PROTECTIVECOVER
Connect the voltmeter positive probe to the
YEL/WHT terminal and the negative probe to the
BLK/WHT terminal, then turn the ignition switch ON(ll). The.e should be between 5 and 8 V.
a lf the voltage is as specified, go to step 6.a lI the voltage is not as specified, check for- an open in the YEL/WHT, BLU/WHT or
BLK/WHT wire.- poor ground (G501, G502).
3P CONNECTOR
View from wire side
6.Turn the ignition switch OFF. Attach a jumper wire
between the BLKMHT and YEL/WHT terminals,
then turn the ignition switch ON {1.,.
Check that the pointer of the fuel gauge starls mov-
ing toward the "F" mark.
CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch OFF before the
pointer reaches "F" on the gauge dial, Failure to do
so may damage the tuel gauge.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is a bobbin (cross-coil) type
gauge, hence the fuel level is continuously indicat-
ed even when the ignition switch is OFF, and thepointer moves more slowlv than that ol a bimetal
rype gauge.
a lf the pointer ol the fuel gauge does not move at
all, replace the gauge.
a It the gauge is OK, inspect the fuel gauge send-
ing unit.

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Gauge
Gauge Test
NOTE: Refer to page 23-123 for the wiring description of
the engine coolant temperature (ECT) gauge circuit dia-
gram.
1. Check the No. 25 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash
fuse/relay box before testing.
2. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF, then discon-
nect the YEL/GRN wire trom the ECT gauge send-
ing unit and ground it with a jumper wire.
YEL/GRN WIRESENDING UNIT
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
Check that the pointer of the ECT gauge starts mov-
ing toward the "H" mark.
CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch OFF before the
pointer reaches "H" on the gauge dial. Failure to do
so may damage the gauge.
a lf the pointer of the gauge does not move at all,
check lor an open in the YEL or YEL/GRN wire.
lf the wires are OK, replace the ECT gauge.
a lf the ECT gauge works, test the ECT sending
unrt.
ECT Sending Unit Test
Disconnect the YEL/GRN wire from the ECT send-
ing unit.
With the engine cold, use an ohmmeter to measure
resistance between the positive terminal and the en-
gine (ground).
Check the temperature ol the coolant.
Run the engine and measure the change in resistance
with the engine at operating temperature (the radi-
ator fan comes on).
5. It the obtained readings are substantially different
from the sDecifications above, replace the ECT send-
Ing unrt.

1.With the ignjtion switch OFF, disconnect the 5P con-
nector from the reminder unit.
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be
sure they are all making good contact.
a lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair
them as necessary, and recheck the system.
a lf the terminals look OK, make the following in-
put tests at the connector.- lf a test indicates a problem, find and correct
the cause, then recheck the system.
lf all the input tests prove OK, the remind€r unit
must be faulty; replace it.

Control Unit Input Test
1. Disconnect the 8P connector from the interlock con-
trol unit.
2. lnspect the connector and socket terminals to be
sure they are all making good contact.
a It the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair
them as necessary, and recheck the system.
a lf the terminals look OK, make the following in-
put tests at the connector.- lf a test indicates a problem, tind and correct
the cause, then recheck the system.- lf all the input tests prove OK, substitute a
known-good control unit, and recheck the sys-
tem. lf the check is OK, the control unit must
be faulty; replace it.
NOTE: lf the shift lock solenoid clicks when the igni-
tion switch is turned ON (ll) and you step on the
brske Dedal (with the shift lever in E). the shift lock
system is electronically normal; if the shift lever
cannot be shifted from fl, test the 46 gear position
switch as described on page 23-142, and see sec-
tion 14.
