FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT TEST
Refer to Group 14, Fuel for test procedures.
LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LAMP TEST
The low oil pressure warning lamp will illuminate
when the ignition key is turned to the ON position
without engine running. The lamp also illuminates
should the engine oil pressure drop below a safe oil
pressure level. To test the system turn ignition key to the ON po-
sition. If the lamp fails to light, inspect for a broken
or disconnected wire at the oil pressure combination
unit, located at the front of the engine (Fig. 3). If the
wire at the connector checks good, pull connector
loose from the switch and with a jumper wire ground
connector to the engine. With the ignition key turned
to the ON position check the warning lamp. If lamp
still fails to light, inspect for a burned out lamp or
disconnected socket in the cluster.
COMBINATION OIL SENDING UNIT TEST
The combination oil sending unit has two func-
tions: (1) The normal closed circuit keeps the oil pressure
warning lamp on until there is oil pressure (Fig. 4).
(2) The sending unit provides a resistance that
varies with oil pressure. To test the normally closed oil lamp circuit, discon-
nect the locking connector and measure the resis-
tance between the switch terminal and the metal
housing. The ohmmeter should read continuity. Start
the engine. If there is oil pressure, the ohmmeter should read
an open circuit. To test the sending unit, measure the resistance
between the sending unit terminal and the metal
housing. The ohmmeter should no continuity. Start
the engine. The ohmmeter should read between 30 to 55 ohms,
depending on engine speed, oil temperature and oil
viscosity. If the above results are not obtained, replace the
sending unit.
SEAT BELT WARNING SYSTEM
For testing of this system refer to Group 8M, Re-
straint Systems.
AIR BAG WARNING SYSTEM
For testing of this system refer to Group 8M, Re-
straint Systems.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR (CHECK ENGINE) SYSTEM
For testing of this system using DRB II, refer to
the Body Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures.
BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LAMP TEST
The brake warning lamp illuminates when parking
brake is applied with ignition key turned ON. The
same lamp will also illuminate should one of the two
service brake systems fail when brake pedal is ap-
plied. Refer to Brake system warning Lamp Diagno-
sis (Fig. 5). To test system turn ignition key ON and apply
parking brake. If lamp fails to light, inspect for a
burned out lamp, disconnected socket, a broken or
disconnected wire at switch. The lamp also lights
when the ignition switch is turned to start. To test service brake warning system, raise vehicle
on a hoist and open a wheel cylinder bleeder while a
helper depresses brake pedal and observes warning
lamp. If lamp fails to light, inspect for a burned out
lamp, disconnected socket, a broken or disconnected
wire at switch. If lamp is not burned out and wire continuity is
proven, replace brake warning switch in brake line
Tee fitting mounted on frame rail in engine compart-
ment below master cylinder (Fig. 6).
CAUTION: If wheel cylinder bleeder was opened
check master cylinder fluid level.

cial 2 position memory power seat, recliner and
memory power outside rear view mirror system.
Each of the components can be moved to a desired
position by operating switches (Fig. 15). The seat and
recliner use potentiometers as position sensors and
the mirrors use rheostats to send their positioning
information back to the control module in the driv-
er's seat. After the desired seat and mirror position is
set. The seat, recliner, and mirror position can be
memorized at any time by pressing and release the
Set button. Followed by pressing the Position 1 or 2
button, for the specific position desired. DO NOT
press any other seat related switch for at least 5 sec-
onds. However, for the driver to recall a position, the
vehicle must not be moving and the seat belt must
NOT be buckled. Refer to the Owners Manual sup-
plied with the vehicle for complete instructions on
system operation.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN AIR
BAG REFER TO THE AIR BAG PORTION OF THIS
SECTION FOR STEERING WHEEL OR SWITCH RE-
MOVAL AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.
BUZZER SYSTEM
The seat belt warning system uses both visual and
audible signals. A combined seat belt and key warn-
ing buzzer with a red light on the instrument panel. The system will always illuminate the seat belt
warning lamp for four to eight seconds when the ig-
nition switch is turned to the ON position. Also, only
if the driver does not fasten his seat belt, the buzzer
will sound during the same time interval. Passenger
belts are not connected to the system. A timed buzzer-relay is used to operate the system
for the time period. It consists of a time delay mech-
anism and buzzer assembly. Only the driver's seat
belt buckle has a switch that is connected to the sys-
tem.
CHIME WARNING/REMINDER SYSTEM
The chime warning/reminder system is similar in
operation to the buzzer system except for a more
pleasant sounding tone. This chime type tone sounds
for all three warning/reminder conditions; namely
headlamps left on, keys left in ignition and fasten
seat belt.
TIMED BUZZER-RELAY TESTÐAP BODY
PREPARATION
(1) Remove timed buzzer-relay (Fig. 1).
(2) Connect one end of a jumper wire to a 12 volt
supply. (3) Connect a test lamp equipped with a number
194 lamp or equivalent, between terminal number 3
of relay and ground. (4) Ground terminals 2 and 5 of relay.
TEST
(1) Connect 12 volt jumper wire to terminal num-
ber 4 of timed buzzer-relay, look at test lamp and lis-
ten for buzzer. (2) Test lamp should come on and buzzer should
sound for four to eight seconds and then both should
go off; if not, replace timed buzzer-relay. (3) If operation is okay, check all wiring in vehicle
for opens, shorts, or poor connections.
SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH TEST BUZZER
SYSTEM
Test timed buzzer-relay. If it checks OK, check the
wiring between seat belt buckle and ground. The
wire that goes to terminal 5 of relay from buckle
switch, refer to Fig. 2 and 3. If they check out okay,
replace buckle switch.
