GENERAL PROCEDURES
Headlamp Adjustment
Headlamp Aiming
1. The headlamp aiming procedure depends on the type of beam pattern the headlamp is equipped with. Vehicles may come equipped with visual optical right (VOR), visual optical left
(VOL), or SAE only (includes sealed beam type) headlamps. To identify the headlamp beam
pattern, look on the headlamp lens. Molded in small letters on the headlamp lens is one of the
following:
zSAE
z VOR or SAE
z VOL or SAE
2. Once the headlamp beam pattern is identified, aim the headlamps using one of the following methods as applicable.
zPhotometric aimers can aim SAE, VOR and VOL type headlamps. This is the preferred
method of headlamp aiming.
z Visual or screen method aiming can be used to aim SAE, VOR and VOL type
headlamps.
z Mechanical aimers can be used only with SAE type headlamps. Lamps that can be
aimed mechanically will have three nibs molded into the lens of the lamp.
Photometric Aiming 1. For the photometric aiming procedure, refer to the appropriate photometric headlamp aimer instruction manual.
Screen Method Aiming
All headlamp types
NOTE: Horizontal aim is not necessary for VOR or VOL headlamps.
NOTE: Consult your state vehicle inspection manual for recommended tolerance ranges for visual
aiming.
NOTE: The sight shield may need to be positioned or removed for access to the adjusters.
1. Before starting headlamp adjustment: zCheck the tire inflation.
z Check that no other load is in the vehicle other than a half tank of fuel.
z Check that the headlamps are clean.
z Check for correct headlamp operation.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Communications Network
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell
14 , Multiplex Communication Network for schematic and connector
information.
Principles of Operation
The vehicle has two module communications networks. The standard corporate protocol (SCP) which
is an unshielded twisted pair cable (data bus plus, Circuit 914 [TN/OG] and data bus minus, Circuit 915
[PK/LB]), and the international standards organization (ISO) 9141 network which is a single wire
(Circuit 70 [LB/WH]). The diagnostic tool can connect to both networks through the data link connector
(DLC). This makes diagnosis and testing of these systems easier by allowing one smart tester to be
able to diagnose and control any module on the two networks from one connector. The DLC can be
found under the instrument panel between the steering column and the radio.
The ISO 9141 communication network does not permit inter- module communication. When the
diagnostic tool communicates to modules on the ISO 9141 communication network, the diagnostic tool
must ask for all information; the modules cannot initiate communications.
The SCP network will remain operational even with the severing of one of the bus wires.
Communications will also continue if one of the bus wires is shorted to ground or battery positive
voltage (B+) or if some, but not all, termination resistors are lost.
Unlike the SCP communication network, the ISO 9141 communication network will not function if the
wire is shorted to chassis ground or battery positive voltage (B+). Also, if one of the modules on the
ISO 9141 network loses power or shorts internally, communications to that module will fail.
The powertrain control module (PCM) is on the SCP communication network. The PCM controls the
engine for better fuel economy, emissions control, and failure mode detection and storage. Refer to
Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual Section 3 for diagnosis and testing of the
PCM.
The restraint control module (RCM) is on the ISO 9141 network. The RCM controls the deployment of
the air bags based on sensor input. For additional information, refer to Section 501 - 20B .
