lock LEXUS SC400 1991 Service Repair Manual

DESCRIPTION
The combination meter has various meters and gauges which show the vehicle'\
s condition, warning lights which
monitor abnormalities in the vehicle and inform the driver, indicator lights which inform the driver of the condition
of each part of vehicle, and a function for illumination and brightness ad\
justment of meters and gauges.
The component parts of this system and their functions are described in \
the following table.
Parts NameFunction
SpeedometerThe speedometer needle moves in accordance with signals from the speed s\
ensor to
indicate the vehicle's speed.
TachometerThe tachometer needle moves in accordance with signals from the igniter \
to indicate the
engine's speed.
Water Temperatrue
GaugeThe water temperature gauge's needle moves in accordance with signals from the send-
er gauge and indicates the temperature of the engine coolant.
Fuel GaugeThe fuel gauge needle moves in accordance with signals from the sender g\
auge, indicat-
ing the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
OdometerThe odometer counts the total distance traveled by the vehicle in accord\
ance with pulse
signals from the speed sensor.
Twin Trip Switch
The twin trip meter counts the distance traveled by the vehicle in accor\
dance with pulse
signals from the speed sensor. It can be reset using a switch and can be used to switch
between trip meters A and B.
Circuit Plate
This plate contains the circuitry for each meter and gauge and for each \
warning light and
indicator light, as well as an internal engine oil level warning drive c\
ircuit, drive circuits for
the odometer and trip meter and brightness adjustment circuitry for each\
indicator.
Speed SensorMounted in the transmission, this sensor outputs pulse signals to the co\
mbination meter
in accordance with the speed of the output shaft.
Twin Trip SwitchOperation of this switch switches between the A and B trip meters and se\
nds reset sig-
nals to the combination meter.
Water
Temperature Sender
GaugeThis sender converts engine coolant temperatures to a resistance value i\
n signal form to
the combination meter.
Fuel Sender GaugeThis sender converts the level of fuel remaining in fuel tank to resista\
nce value and
sends the resistance value in signal form to combination meter.
Rheostat Light
Control VolumeIn order to adjust the degree of illumination of the combination meter, the resistance val-
ue of the built±in variable resistor is sent to the combination meter\
and rheostat light
control.
Fuel Level Warning
SwitchWhen the level of fuel remaining falls below a predetermined level, cont\
inuity is estab-
lished with this switch, which is built into the fuel sender gauge, caus\
ing a warning light
to light up.
Low Oil Pressure
Warning SwitchThis switch is mounted on the engine block. Continuity is established in\
this switch when
the oil pressure is low, causing a warning light to light up.
Integration Relay (Seat
Belt Warning Relay)
This relay receives current from fuse GAUGE and DOME and is connected to\
each
buckle switch, door courtesy switch, key unlock warning switch and warni\
ng light. As
part of the seat belt warning system, it sounds a chime and lights a war\
ning light when
seat belts are unfastened. As part of the key unlock warning system, it \
sounds a chime
when the set conditions are fulfilled.
Light Failure SensorThis sensor senses when a bulb in rear combination light is burnt out an\
d lights up a
warning light.

PARKING BRAKE
BR03H±04
When the parking brake lever is pulled up, the parking brake shoe lever is p\
ulled via the parking brake wire.
This causes the shoe strut to push the front shoe, which expands and is pres\
sed against the disc. If the
parking brake lever continues to be pulled up, the contact point of the parking\
brake shoe lever and shoe
strut then becomes the fulcrum so that the parking brake shoe lever causes th\
e rear shoe to expand. This
results in the disc being locked by the front shoe and rear shoe.

CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
BR0EC±07
BRAKE PEDAL CHECK AND
ADJUSTMENT
1. CHECK THAT PEDAL HEIGHT IS CORRECT
Pedal height from asphalt sheet:150.4±160.4 mm (5.92±6.31 in.)
If the pedal height is incorrect, adjust it.
2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL HEIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the stop light switch.
(b) Loosen the stop light switch lock nut and remove the stop light switch.
(c) Loosen the push rod lock nut.
(d) Adjust the pedal height by turning the pedal push rod.
(e) Tighten the push rod lock nut.
Torque: 25 N Vm (260 kgf Vcm, 19 ft Vlbf)
(f) Install the stop light switch and turn it until it lightly contacts
the pedal stopper.
(g) Turn the stop light switch back one turn.
(h) Check the clearance (A) between stop light switch and pedal.
Clearance:
0.5±2.4 mm (0.02±0.09 in.)
(i) Tighten the stop light switch lock nut.
(j) Connect the connector to the stop light switch.
(k) Check that the stop lights come on when the brake pedal isdepressed, and go off when the brake pedal is released.
(l) After adjusting the pedal height, check the pedal free±play.
HINT: If clearance (A) between the stop light switch and the
brake pedal stopper has been adjusted correctly, the pedal
freeplay will meet the specifications.
3. CHECK THAT PEDAL FREEPLAY IS CORRECT, AS SHOWN
(a) Stop the engine and depress the brake pedal several times until there is no more vacuum left in the booster.
(b) Push in the pedal by hand until the beginning of the second point of resistance is felt, then measure the distance, as
shown.
Pedal freeplay:
1±6 mm (0.04±0.24 in.)
If incorrect, check the stop light switch clearance. And if the
clearance is OK, then troubleshoot the brake system.
HINT: The freeplay to the first point of resistance is due to the
play between the clevis and pin. It is 1±3 mm (0.04±0.12 in.)
on the pedal.

3. BLEED MASTER CYLINDERHINT: If the master cylinder has been disassembled or if the
reservoir becomes empty, bleed the air from the master cylin-
der.
(a) Disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.
(b) Slowly depress the brake pedal and hold it.
(c) Block off the outer holes with your fingers, and release the brake pedal.
(d) Repeat (b) and (c) 3 or 4 times.
4. BLEED BRAKE LINE
(a) Connect the vinyl tube to the brake caliper.
(b) Depress the brake pedal several times, then loosen the
bleeder plug with the pedal held down.
(c) At the point when fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug, then release the brake pedal.
(d) Repeat (b) and (c) until all the air in the fluid has been bled
out.
(e) Repeat the above procedure to bleed the air out of the brake
line for each wheel.
Torque: 11 N Vm (110 kgf Vcm, 8 ft Vlbf)
5. CHECK FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR
Check the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.
Fluid:
SAE J1703 or FMVSS NO.116DOT3
6. INSTALL RESERVOIR CAP
(a) Align the matchmark on the reservoir cap with the matchmark
on the ªopenº side of reservoir.
(b) Push down on the reservoir cap and turn it clockwise until it locks.
(c) Check that the matchmark on the reservoir cap is now aligned with the matchmark on the ªcloseº side of the
reservoir.
