Indicator Input Test
Remove the gauge assembly from the dashboard (see page 23 135), and disconnect the 14p connector from rne gaugeassemblv.
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
. lf the terminals are bent. loose or corroded, repa ir them as necessary, and recheck the system.. lf the terminals look OK, make the following input tests at the 14p connector.- lf a test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.- lf all the input tests prove OK, but the indicator is faulty, replace the printed circuit board.

A/T Gear Position Indicator
A/T Gear Position Switch Test
1. Remove the front console (see section 2O).
2. Disconnect the 14P connector from the A/T gear position switch.
3. Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table.
' Move the shift lever back and forth without pushing the shift lever at each switch position, and check for continuitywithin the range of free play of the shift lever.' lf there is no continuity within the range of free play, adjust the position of the switch as described on the nextpage.

1. Open the hood.
2. Check the horizontal adjustment indicator.
The "0" mark on the horizontal indicator gear
should be aligned with the mark on the horizontal
indicator.
HORIZONTAL INDICATOR
Check the vertical adjustment indicator. The bubble
should be centered underneath the longest scribe
mark on the gauge.
VERTICAL INDICATOR:
Headlight become very hot in use; do not touch them
or any attaching hardware immediately after they
have been turnsd off.

lf either indicator is not aligned with its "0"mark as
described left column, an adjustment can be made
by using a Phillips screwdriver.
Adjust the headlights to local requirements by turn-
ing the adjusters.
After headlight replacement, it may bs necessary to
readjust the horizontal indicator gear.
. First install the headlioht, and adjust its horizon-
tal and vertical aimings according to local re-
quirements.
. Then check that the arrow on the horizontal indi-
cator gear is aligned with the mark on the hori-
zontal indicator.- lf they are not aligned, remove the screw,
adiust the indicator gear, and retighten the
screw.
NOTE: As the outer lenses are made ot an acryli-
coated, polycarbonated material, do not cover the
headlights when they are turned on.

vertical adjuster (B).
After headlight replacement, it may be necessary to
readjust the horizontal indicator gear.
