12. INSPECT FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Connect terminals 1 and 3 on the wire harness side con-
nector.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the warning light
lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or inspect wire
harness.
13. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the receiver gauge
needle indicates COOL.
(c) Ground terminal on the wire harness side connector
through a 3.4 W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the bulb lights up
and the receiver gauge needle moves toward the hot
side.
If operation is as specified, replace the sender gauge.
Then recheck the system.
If operation is not as specified, measure the receiver gauge re-
sistance.
14. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminals with fixing pointer to
the stopper.
Tester connectionResistance (W)
A - B250
C - D250
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the receiver
gauge.

15. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SEND-
ER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Connect the wire harness as shown in the illustration, and ad-
just the ammeter pointer to indicate º0º using the slide rheostat,
then read the rheostat indication.
Temperature °C (°F)Resistance (W)
50 (122.0)160 - 240
120 (248.0)17.1 - 21.2
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the engine cool-
ant sender gauge.
16. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the warning switch and
ground terminal on the wire harness side connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the warning light
lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or inspect wire
harness.
17. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING SWITCH
OPERATION
(a) Check that continuity exists between the terminal and
ground with the engine stopped.
(b) Check that no continuity exists between the terminal and
ground with the engine running.
HINT:
Oil pressure should be over 29 kPa (0.35 kgf/cm
2, 4.3 psi)
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
18. INSPECT BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the brake fluid warning
switch.
(b) Release the parking brake pedal.
(c) Connect the terminals on the wire harness side of the lev-
el warning switch connector.
(d) Start the engine, check that the warning light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or wire har-
ness.

19. INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING SWITCH
OPERATION
(a) Remove the reservoir tank cap and strainer.
(b) Disconnect the connector.
(c) Check that no continuity exists between the terminals with
the switch OFF (float up).
(d) Use a siphon, etc. to take fluid out of the reservoir tank.
(e) Check that continuity exists between the terminals with
the switch ON (float down).
(f) Pour the fluid back in the reservoir tank.
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
20. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE WARNING SWITCH CON-
TINUITY
(a) Check that continuity exists between terminal and switch
body with the switch ON (switch pin released).
(b) Check that no continuity exists between terminal and
switch body with the switch OFF (switch pin pushed in).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch or inspect
ground point.
21. INSPECT REAR LIGHTS WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the light failure sensor and
ground terminal 4 on the wire harness side connector.
(b) Start the engine, check that the warning light lights up.

3. INSPECT TURN SIGNAL FLASHER OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 3.
(b) Connect the 2 turn signal light bulbs parallel to each other
to terminals 1 and 3, check that the bulbs flash.
HINT:
The turn signal lights should flash 60 or 120 times per min-
ute.
If one of the front or rear turn signal lights has an open cir-
cuit, the number of flashers will be more than 140 per min-
ute.
If operation is not as specified, replace the flasher.

ABS Warning Light Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
If the ECU detects trouble, the ABS warning light lights up and ABS control is prohibited at the same time.
At this time, the ECU records a DTC in memory.
Connecting terminals Tc and E
1 of the DLC1 makes the ABS warning light blink and output the DTC.
