Steering Lock Replacement
SRS components are located in this area. Review theSRS component locations. precautions, and procedures
in the SRS section (24) before performing repairs or ser-vtce.
Remove:
LMake sure you have the anti-theft code for theradio, then wire down the frequencies for theradio's preset buttons ('99 - 00 models).
Disconnect the battery negative cable.
Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover andknee bolster (see section 20).
Disconnect the 5P connector from the under-dash
fuse/relay box and the 7P connector from the mainwire harness (see previous page).
Remove the steering column covers, then removethe mounting bolts and nuts from the steering col-umn (see section l7).
Lower the steering column assembly,
Center-punch each of the two shear bolts, then drilltheir heads off with a 5 mm (3/16 in) dritt bit.
CAUTION: Do not damago the steering lock body.
Remove the shear bolts and the steering lock assem,oty.

Installation:
l. Install the new steering lock assembly without thekey insened.
Loosely tighten the new shear bolts-
Insert the ignition key, and check for proper opera-tion of the steering wheel lock and that the ignitionkey turns freely.
Tighten the shear bolts untilthe hex heads twist off.

-Starter Test
NOTE; The air temoerature must be between 59 and
100'F (15 and 38"C) before testing.
Recommended Procedure:
. Use a staner system tester.
. Connect and operate the equipment in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
. Test and troubleshoot as described,
Alternate Procedurg:
. Use the following equipment:- Ammeter, 0 - 400 A
- Voltmeter, 0 - 20 V (accurate within 0.1 volt)
- Tachometer, 0 - 1,200 rpm
. Hook up a voltmeter and ammeter as shown.
NEGATIVETERMINAL
NOTE: After this test, or any subsequent repair. reset
the ECM/PCM to clear any codes (see section l1)
Check the Start€r Engagemont:
1. Remove the No. 44 (15 A) fuse from the under-hood
fuse/relay box,
2. Turn the ignition switch to START (llll with the shift
lever in E or E position (rVT) or with the clutch pedal
depressed {M/T). The starter should crank the engine.
. lf the starter does not crank the engine, go to
step 3.
. lf itcranksthe engineerraticallyortooslowly, go
to "Check for Wear and Damage" on the next
page.
Check the battery. battery positive cable, ground,
starter cut relay, and the wire connections for loose-
ness and corrosion, Test again.
lf the starter still does not crank the engine, go to
step 4,
Unplug the connector (BLK,/WHT wire and solenoid
terminal) from the starter,
Connect a jumper wire from the battery positive (+)
terminal to the solenoid terminal.
The starter should crank the engine.
. lf the starter still does not crank the engine,
remove it, and diagnose its internal problem
. lf the startercranksthe engine, goto step 6.
Check the ignition switch (see page 23-891.
Check the starter cut relay and clutch interlock switch
(see page 23-86,87).
Check the A/f gear position switch (see page 23-154).
Check for an open in the wire between the ignition
switch and starter.

Jlgnition Control Module (lCMl Input Test
NOTE:
. See section 1'l when the malfunction indicator lamp
(MlL) turned on.
. Perform an input test for the ignition control module
(lCM) after finishing the fundamental tests for the
ignition system and the fuel and emissions systems
1. Remove the distributor ignition (Dl) cap, the distrib-
utor ignition (Dl) rotor and the leak cover (TEC).
2. Disconnect the wires from the lCM.
HITACHI:
BLK/YEL
TEC:
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). Check for voltage
between the BLK/YEL wire and body ground.
There should be battery voltage.
. lf there is no battery voltage, check the BLK/YEL
wire between the under-dash fuse/relay box and
rhe lcM.
. lf there is battery voltage, go to step 4.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). Check for voltage
between the wire*r and body ground
There should be battery voltage.
. lfthere is no battery voltage, check:
- the ignition coil.
- the wire*1 between the ignition coil and the
tcM.
. lf there is battery voltage, go to step 5
*1: BLU'wire (HITACHI)
WHT/BLU wire (TEC)
Disconnect the EcM/PCM connector A (32P). Check
for continuity on the YEUGRN wire between the
ECM/PCM and the lCM.
There should be continuity.
Check for continuity on the YEUGRN wire to body
ground.
There should be no continuity.
Check for continuity on the BLUl wire between the
test tachometer connector and the ICM
There should be continuitY.
Check for continuity on the BLUl wire to body ground.
There should be no continuity.
lf all the tests are normal, replace the ICM

Fuel Gauge
Gauge/Sending Unit Test
!@ Do not smoke while working on tho fuel
system. Keep open tlame away trom your wotk atea.
NOTE: Refer to page 23-133 for the fuel gauge system
circuit.
'1. Check the No. 25 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/
relay box before testing.
2. Remove the access panel from the floor.
ACCESS PANEL
Disconnect the 3P connector from the fuel gauge
sending unit.
Connect the voltmeter positive probe to the No. 2
terminal and the negative probe to the No. I termi-
nal, then turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
There should be between 5 and 8 V.
. lf the voltage is as specified, go to step 5.
. lf the voltage is not as specified. check for:- an open in the YEUBLK or BLK wire.- poor ground (G552).
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Attach a jumper wire between the No. 1 and No. 2
terminals, then turn the ignition switch ON (ll).

1.Check that the pointer of the fuel gauge starts mov-
ing toward the "F" mark.
CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch OFF before thepoinier reaches "F" on ihe gauge dial. Failure to do
so may damage the fuel gauge.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is a bobbin (cross-coil) type,
hence the fuel level is continuously indicated even
when the ignition switch is OFF, and the pointer
moves more slowly than that of a bimetaltype.
. lf the pointer of the fuel gauge does not move at
all, replace the gauge.
. lf the gauge is OK. inspect the fuel gauge send-
ing unit.
Remove the fuel gauge sending unit as shown.
