REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER T BATTERY POSITIVE VOLTAGE 45UOTX-18C -- FAULTY PORTION OV BATTERY POSITIVE VOLTAGE 45UOTX-18; Rear Window Defroster Switch (Refer to section U.) Rear Window Defroster Filament 1. Turn the rear window defroster switch ON. 2. Connect the (+) terminal of a voltmeter to the center of each filament and the (-) terminal to the body. The stan- dard voltage at the center of each filament is approx. 6V. If the meter indication is high, there is a short circuit be- tween the center and the grounded side of the filament. If the indication is low or zero, the fault is between the center and positive side. REPAIRING FILAMENT Caution Use only paint thinner or ethyl alcohol for clean- ing. Other solvents can damage the surrounding filament. 1. Use paint thinner or ethyl alcohol to clean the damage section of the filament. 2. Apply tape to both sides of the damaged section of fila- ment. 3. Using a small brush or marking pen, apply silver paint (part no. 2835 77 600) or equivalent to the damaged sec- tion. 4. Use a blow dryer heated to 60°C (140°F) for 30 minutes or let the paint set for 24 hours at 20°C (68°F) to let it dry completely. Do not use the rear window defroster until the paint is dry.

T 2 CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM PRESS 45UOTX-209 Inspection Procedure Quick inspection 1. Connect a 1.4W test light between terminals D and F, of the cruise control unit connector. u Note There is no wire in terminal D of the connector. Push the test light through the connector and touch the cor- responding pin on the control unit. 2. Turn the ignition switch to ON. 3. Shift the selector lever to D or R range. 4. Verify that the MAlN switch is off. (The MAlN indicator light will be off .) 5. Turn the RESUMEIACCEL switch and the MAlN switch simultaneously to activate the system inspection. The MAlN indicator light will come on. 6. Operate each switch as described below and obtain the problem code numbers. Note The cruise control system will not operate in self-diag- nosis mode. 7. After retrieving the code(s), press the MAlN switch to deactivate the system inspection. The MAlN indicator light will go off. 8. Follow the action corresponding to the problem code. --, Service Code Table Press SETICOAST switch Procedure Press RESUMEIACCEL switch Pattern of output signal (Test light) ON OFF nn M nn Depress brake pedal ON OFF ON Drive vehicle above 40 km/h (25 MPH) Turn ignition switch to ON and shift the selector lever to P or N range (For AT) Depress clutch pedal (For MT) Code No. oN OFF Action lnspect cruise control switch (Refer to page T-106) lnspect cruise control switch (Refer to page T-106) lnspect stoplight switches (Refer to pages T-105 and T-56) lnspect parwneutral switch (Refer to section K) or clutch switch (Refer to page T-105) lnspect vehicle speed sensor or wire harness (Refer to page T-106) Gartner Banana
