BATTERY INSPECTION
BAlTERY VISUAL CHECK (1)
The battery contains a visual test indicator which gives blue
signal when an adequate charge level exists, and white signal
when charging is required.
BAlTERY VISUAL CHECK (2)
Make sure ignition switch is in Off position and all battery
feed accessories are Off.
1.Disconnect ground cable from battery before disconnecting
(+) cable.
2. Remove battery from vehicle.
CautionCare should be taken in the event battery case is
cracked or leaking to protect hands from the electro-
lyte. A suitable pair of rubber gloves (not the house-hold type) should be worn when removing battery
by hand.
3.Inspect battery carrier for damage caused by loss of acid
from battery. If acid damage is present, it will be necessaryto clean area with a solution of clean warm water and
baking soda. Scrub area with a stiff bristle brush and wipe
off with a cloth moistened with ammonia or baking soda
in water.

OPERATION
l
When the ignition key is at the “ON” position,the fuel gauge is activated.
l
When there is much fuel, the unit’s resistanceis small and the current flowing in the circuit
is great, so the gauge’s indicator indicates inthe “F” area.
l When there is little fuel, the unit’s resistance
is high and the current flowing in the circuit
is small, so the gauge’s indicator indicates inthe
“E” area.

lWhen the ignition key is at the “ON” position,
the engine coolant temperature gauge is acti-
vated.l
When the engine coolant temperature is high,
the unit’s resistance is low and there is a greatflow of current in the circuit, so the gauge’s
indicator indicates in the “H” area.
l
When the engine coolant temperature is low,
the unit’s resistance is high and there is a smallflow of current in the circuit, so the gauge’s
indicator indicates in the “C” area.
/Speed sensor (electrical speedometer type)>l Pulses are produced in accordance with the
vehicle speed, and vehicle-speed signals areinput to systems (the MFI system, etc.) that
regulate according to the vehicle speed.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
1.The fuel gauge doesn’t function, or shows the
incorrect indication.
(1) Disconnect the connector of the fuel pumpand gauge unit assembly; the ‘F” side is
indicated when terminal (5) is then
grounded.l Check the fuel gauge.
2.The engine coolant temperature gauge doesn’t
function, or shows the incorrect indication.
(1)The “l-l” side is indicated when the connector
of the engine coolant temperature gauge
unit is disconnected and then grounded.l
Check the engine coolant temperature
gauge unit.
3. Systems dependent upon control according to
the vehicle speed do not function correctly.l Check the reed switch (mechanical
speedometer type)l Check the speed sensor (electrical
speedometer type)
coil pressure gauge>l
When the ignition key is at the “ON” position,
the oil pressure gauge is activated.
lWhen oil pressure is high, the internal contacts
of the gauge unit are kept closed for a longerperiod of time. This causes more current to
flow in the circuit, and the gauge pointer swings
to the high pressure side.
lWhen oil pressure is low, the internal contactsof the gauge unit open in a shorter period of
time. Therefore, there is less current flowing
in the circuit and the gauge pointer swings to
the low pressure side.

lWhen the ignition key is set to the “ON” position,the gauge indicator will be at
“0”.l
When the engine is started, the indicator will
move from
“0” to the minus (-) side, and then,as the boost level increases, it will move to
the plus
(+) side.
l When the ignition key is placed in the “ON”
position, the voltage gauge operates and indi-
cates a battery voltage of approximately 12 V.l
When the engine is started, the voltage gauge
indicates a battery voltage of 12 to 16 V, indicat-ing that the battery is on charge.
4. The oil pressure gauge doesn’t function, or
shows the incorrect indication.
(1)The “H” side is indicated when the connectorof the oil pressure gauge unit is discon-
nected and then grounded.l Check the oil pressure gauge unit.
5.The meter illumination light does not illuminate.
(1) The tail lights illuminate.l Check the rheostat.
6. The voltage gauge doesn’t function, or shows
the incorrect indication.l Check the voltage gauge.

SPEEDOMETER CHECK
(1) Assure tire pressure at standard value. (Refer to GROUP
- Specifications.)
(2)Gt the vehicle on a speedometer tester.
(3)Set free rollers securely on the floor according to the wheel-base and rear tread of the vehicle (when rear wheels
are to be set on free rollers).
(4) Raise the rear wheels on a jack and place rigid racks
to support the specified positions of the side sills (whenrear wheels are to be raised on a jack).
(5) Make sure the parking brake has been set.

(6)Attach anchoring bars on the tie-down brackets and secure
their ends to the anchor plates.(7) Make sure the tension on the right and left bars is the
same. Also be sure there is enough tension on each bar.(8) Attach a chain or wire to the rear tie-down hole. Make
sure the end of the wire or chain is secured firmly.
(9) Take all other necessary precautions.

(1)insert paper clip into the engine revolution speed detection
terminal provided in the engine compartment, and connectthe engine tachometer to the inserted paper clip.
Caution
As the tachometer is negative grounded, do not con-
nect battery conversely to prevent damaging transis-tor and diode.
NOTE
For tachometer inspection, use of a fluxmeter-type engine
tachometer is recommended. (Because a fluxmeter onlyneeds to be clipped to the high tension cable.)
(2) Connect the engine tachometer and compare the engine
tachometer and tachometer readings. Replace tachometer
if difference is excessive.

CautionThe engine speed signal output from the engine is
one-third of the actual speed. When the engine speed
is measured, make sure that the engine tachometeris placed in the
2-cylinder range. (The real speed is
indicated.)
