Combination Light Switch Test
1.Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover and steering column covers (see section 20)
Disconnect the 4P and 7P connectors from the switch.
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact
. lf the terminals are bent, loose. or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
. lf theterminals look OK, check for continuity between them ineach switch position according tothetables lfthere
is no continuity between any of them. check for continuity in the switch harness
- lf there is continuity in the switch harness. replace the combination light switch
- lf there is no continuity in the switch harness, replace it.

Disconnect the connectors from the daytime run-
ning lights control unit.
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be
sure they are all making good contact.
lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded. repair
them as necessary, and recheck the system.
lf the terminals look OK, make the following
input tests at the connector,- lf any test indicates a problem, find and correct
the cause, then recheck the system.- lf all the input tests prove OK, the control unit
must be faulty; replace it.

Daytime Running Lights Resistor
Test (Canada)
CAUTION: The daytime running lights resistor becomes
very hot when the daytime running lights are on; do not
touch il or the attaching hardware immediately after
the lights have been iurned off.
1. Disconnect the 3P connector from the resistor.
Terminal side of male
terminals
N4easure the resistance between the resistor termi
nals (No. 1 and No. 2) and the power terminal No. 3.
Resistance: 1.6 O t 0.08 O
Replace the resistor with a new one if any of the
resistances are beyond specification.

CAUTION: Halogen headlights b€come very hot in use;
do not touch them or the attaching hardware immedi-
ately after they have been turned off.
1. Remove the front bumper (see section 20).
2. Remove the mounting bolts,
3. Disconnect each connector, then remove the head-
lighVfront turn signal/parking light assembly.

Adjustment
Eoforo adiu3ting th€ h.adlights:
. Park the vehicle on level surface.
. Make sure the tire prgssures are correct.
a The driver or someone who weighs the same should
sit in the driver's seat.

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.

1. Clean the outer lens so that you can see the center
of the headlights (A).

Turn the horizontal adjuster so that the arrow on
the horizontal indicator gear (A) is pointing up.

Adjustment (cont'dl
Turn the low beams on.
Determine if the headlights are aimed properly.
Vsrtical adiustmsnt:
Measure the height of the headlights (A). The lights
should reflect 52 mm \2.1 in.) below (B) headlight
height.
Horizontal adi$tment:
The width of the refracting points (C) should be the
same as the width of the headlight central points (D,

7. lf necessary, adjust the headlights to local require-
ments by turning the horizontal adjuster (A) and the
vertical adjuster (B).
After headlight replacement, it may be necessary to
readjust the horizontal indicator gear.
. First installthe headlight, and adjust its horizontal
and vertical aimings according to local require-
ments.
. 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, adjust
the indicator gear, and retighten the screw.
NOTE: As the outer lenses are made of an acryli-
