G-SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The G-switch (Fig. 4) is located under the rear
seat. The switch has directional arrow and must be
mounted with the arrow pointing towards the front
of the vehicle.
OPERATION
The switch is monitored by the CAB at all times.
The switch contains three mercury switches which
monitor vehicle deceleration rates (G-force). Sudden
changes in deceleration rates trigger the switch,
sending a signal to the CAB.
REMOVAL
(1) Fold the rear seat bottom assembly up for
access to the switch.
(2) Lift up the carpeting and disconnect the switch
harness (Fig. 5).
(3) Remove the switch mounting bolts and remove
the switch.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: The mercury switch (inside the
G-Switch), will not function properly if the switch is
installed incorrectly. Verify that the switch locating
arrow is pointing to the front of the vehicle (Fig. 6).
(1) Note the position of the locating arrow on the
switch. Position the switch so the arrow faces for-
ward.
(2) Install the switch and tighten the mounting
bolts to 5.6 N´m (50 in. lbs.).

(4) Rock vehicle side-to-side three times to allow
suspension to stabilize.
(5) Jounce front suspension three times by pushing
downward on front bumper and releasing.
(6) Measure the distance from the center of head-
lamp lens to the floor. Transfer measurement to the
alignment screen (with tape). Use this line for
up/down adjustment reference.
(7) Measure distance from the centerline of the
vehicle to the center of each headlamp being aligned.
Transfer measurements to screen (with tape) to each
side of vehicle centerline. Use these lines for left/
right adjustment reference.
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
A properly aimed low beam will project the top
edge of the beam intensity pattern on the screen
from 25 mm (1 in.) above to 75 mm (3 in.) below
headlamp centerline. The side-to-side left edge of the
beam intensity pattern should be from 50 mm (2 in.)
left to 50 mm (2 in.) right of headlamp centerline
(Fig. 17).
(1) Clean front of the headlamps.
(2) Place headlamps on LOW beam.(3) Cover front of the headlamp that is not being
adjusted.
(4) Turn adjustment screw (Fig. 18) and (Fig. 19)
until the top edge of the beam intensity pattern is
positioned within 25 mm (1 in.) above or 75 mm (3
in.) below the headlamp horizontal centerline.
(5) Cover front of the headlamp and adjust the
other headlamp beam as instructed below.
(6) Rotate the adjustment screw until the top edge
of the beam intensity pattern is positioned within 25
mm (1 in.) above or 75 mm (3 in.) below the head-
lamp horizontal centerline.
