zontal line (H)
Horizontal
directionLeft headlampParallel to direction of
vehicle travel
Right head-
lamp15’ (13 mm) leftward
from vertical line (V)
Caution:
(1) Perform aiming adjustments, one light at a time,
with the other headlamp disconnected so as not
to be lit unless circumstances compel otherwise.
When reconnecting the headlamps, be careful not
to upset their aim. Do not leave the headlamps
on for any longer than 3 minutes if their outer
lenses are covered with a surface covering
impervious to light.
(2) Do not mask the outer lenses by taping or in any
other way.
(3) Aiming adjustment must be completed with the
aiming adjustment screws turned in the tightening
direction.
INTENSITY MEASUREMENT
1. Position the tester so that its light sensor faces each
headlamp center to center at the appropriate distance
shown.
2. Maintain an engine speed of 2,000 r/minto keep the battery
in the charged condition.
3. Check that the high-beam headlamp intensity at the center
of the high intensity zone satisfies the limit value.
Limit: 15,000 cd or more per headlamp
Caution
(1) Perform intensity measurement, one headlamp at
a time, with the low-beam lamp and the other
headlamp disconnected from the battery unless
circumstances compel otherwise. Do not leave
the headlamps on for any longer than 3 minutes
if their outer lenses are covered with a surface
covering impervious to light.
(2) Do not mask the outer lens surfaces by taping
or in any other way.
HEADLAMP BULB REPLACEMENT
1. Disconnect the connector.
2. Remove the socket cover.
3. Unhook the spring which secures the bulb, and then
remove the bulb.
Caution
Do not touch the surface of the bulb with hands or
dirty gloves. If the surface does become dirty, clean
it with alcohol or thinner, and let it dry thoroughly
before installing.

BCASE COVER, EVAPORATOR REMOVAL
The evaporator, which has been installed in a factory, has
no case cover. Follow the steps below to remove that
evaporator.
1. Cut the case along the shown line to remove the cooling
and blower unit.
2. Remove the air thermo sensor from the evaporator, and
then remove the evaporator towards you, being careful
not to damage its core.
INSPECTION
BLOWER MOTOR CHECK
When battery voltage is applied between the terminals, check
that the motor operates. Also, check that there is no abnormal
noise.
RESISTOR CHECK
Use a circuit tester to measure the resistance between the
terminals as indicated below. Check that the measured value
is at the standard value.
Standard value:
Measurement terminalStandard value Ω
Between terminals 3 and 22.81 ± 10%
Between terminals 3 and 41.28 ± 10%
Between terminals 3 and 10.33 ± 10%

INSPECTION PROCEDURES FOR DIAGNOSIS CODES
Code No.11 Inside air temperature sensor system (open
circuit)Probable cause
This diagnosis code is output if the power supply line or input line of the inside
air temperature sensor inside A/C-ECU is open-circuited and no signal is input
from the inside air temperature sensor to A/C-ECU.
Malfunction of the A/C-ECU
Replace the A/C-ECU.
Code No.12 Inside air temperature sensor system (short
circuit)Probable cause
This diagnosis code is output if the power supply line or input line of the inside
air temperature sensor inside A/C-ECU is short-circuited and inside air
temperature sensor power supply voltage signals are input to A/C-ECU.
Malfunction of the A/C-ECU
Replace the A/C-ECU.
