Wave Pattern Observation Points
Check that the standard wave pattern appears when the stepper motor is operating.
Point A: Presence or absence of induced electromotive force from the motor turning. (Refer to the abnormal
wave pattern.)
Contrast with standard wave patternProbable cause
Induced electromotive force does not appear or is extremely small.Motor is malfunctioning
Point B: Height of coil reverse electromotive force

Coil reverse electromotive force does not appear or is extremely small.Short in the coil
Examples of Abnormal Wave Pattern
DExample 1
Cause of problem
Motor is malfunctioning. (Motor is not operating.)
Wave pattern characteristics
Induced electromotive force from the motor turning does
not appear.
DExample 2
Cause of problem
Open circuit in the line between the stepper motor and
the engine-ECU.
Wave pattern characteristics
Current is not supplied to the motor coil on the open
circuit side. (Voltage does not drop to 0 V.)
Furthermore, the induced electromotive force waveform
at the normal side is slightly different from the normal
waveform.

FUEL SUPPLY - On-vehicle Service/Fuel tank13B-3
FUEL PUMP AND GAUGE ASSEMBLY, PIPE
AND GAUGE ASSEMBLY (FUEL GAUGE UNIT)
1. Remove the rear seat cushion assembly.
(Refer to GROUP 52A.)
2. Remove the service hole cover.
3. Disconnect the harness connector, high-pressure fuel
tube, suction hose, and return hose.
4. Unscrew the mounting nuts to remove the fuel pump
and gauge assembly or pipe and gauge assembly.
5. Fuel gauge unit check. (Refer to GROUP 54 -
Combination Meter.)
NOTE
If the inspection shows that the basic resistance and
the height of float are out of the standard value, replace
the gauge unit.
(Refer to P.13B-8.)
6. Install the fuel pump and gauge assembly or pipe and
gauge assembly. Tighten the mounting nuts to the
specified torque.
Specified torque: 2.5± 0.5 N·m
7. Connect the harness connector, high-pressure fuel tube,
suction hose, and return hose.
Caution
(1) Snap the high-pressure fuel hose or suction hose
one-touch joint into place, then pull back slightly
on the hose to assure it is securely fitted. However,
the connection should have a play of approx. 3
mm.
(2) Insert the return hose for 20 - 30 mm for
connection.
8. Install the rear seat cushion assembly.

ENGINE COOLING -Thermostat14-12
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
"AATHERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
Install the thermostat being careful not to fold over or scratch
the rubber ring.
Caution
Make absolutely sure that no oil is adhering to the rubber
ring of the thermostat. In addition, be careful not to fold
over or scratch the rubber ring when inserting. If the
rubber ring is damage, replace the thermostat.
"BARADIATOR UPPER HOSE CONNECTION
1. Insert each hose as far as the projection of the water
outlet fitting.
2. Align the mating marks on the radiator hose and hose
clamp, and then connect the radiator hose.
INSPECTION
THERMOSTAT CHECK
1. Immerse the thermostat in water, and heat the water while
stirring. Check the thermostat valve opening temperature.
Standard value:
Valve opening temperature: 80±1.5_C
2. Check that the amount of valve lift is at the standard value
when the water is at the full-opening temperature.
Standard value:
Full-opening temperature: 93_C
Amount of valve lift: 9.5 mm or more
NOTE
Measure the valve height when the thermostat is fully
closed, and use this measurement to calculate the valve
height when the thermostat is fully open.

ENGINE ELECTRICAL -Charging System16-8
(14)If the voltage reading conforms to the value
in the voltage regulation, then the voltage
regulator is operating normally.
If the voltage is not within the standard value,
there is a malfunction of the voltage regulator
or of the alternator.
(15)After the test, lower the engine speed to the
idle speed.
(16)Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF)
position.(17)Remove the tachometer or the MUT-II.
(18)Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(19)Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
(20)Connect the alternator output wire to the
alternator “B” terminal.
(21)Remove the special tool, and return the
connector to the original condition.
(22)Connect the negative battery cable.
