ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
HEADLAMP AIMING
Bring the vehicle in the following conditions before aiming
the headlamp.

Check the tires for inflation pressure. Pump them up if
necessary to the labeled pressure level.

Set the vehicle unladen on a level floor.

Place one person (approximately 55 kg) on the driver’s
seat.

Maintain an engine speed of 2,000 r/min to keep the
battery in the charged condition.
1. Position the tester so that its converging lens faces the
fog lamp center to center at a distance of 10 m.
NOTE
Measure the center of the fog lamp as shown.
A: 572.5 mm (from the center of the vehicle body)
B: 360 mm
2. Remove the fog lamp bezel, and using the aiming
adjustment screw, aim the fog lamp to the standard value.
NOTE
The horizontal direction is non-adjustable. If the beam
axis deviation exceeds the standard value, check the
fog lamp to determine if it is installed out of position and
correct if necessary.

Standard values:

(H)
Horizontal direction3° (524 mm) leftward from
vertical line (V)
Caution:
(1) Perform aiming adjustments, one light at a time,
with the other headlamp disconnected so as not
to be lit unless circumstances compel otherwise.
When reconnecting the headlamps, be careful not
to upset their aim. Do not leave the headlamps
on for any longer than 3 minutes if their outer
lenses are covered with a surface covering
impervious to light.
(2) Do not mask the outer lenses by taping or in any
other way.
(3) Aiming adjustment must be completed with the
aiming adjustment screws turned in the tightening
direction.
FOG LAMP BULB REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the fog lamp.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Unhook the spring which secures the bulb and then
replace the bulb.
Caution
(1) Do not touch the surface of the bulb with hands
or dirty gloves. If the surface does become dirty,
clean it with alcohol or thinner, and let it dry
thoroughly before installing.
(2) To prevent the clouding of lens and ingress of
water into the lamp unit, install the socket cover
correctly.

TROUBLESHOOTING
There is noise when the engine is running.
Kind of Noise (Parenthe-
sized is how noise
sounds.)SymptomCauseRemedy
AM, FM: Ignition noise
(Popping, snapping,
crackling, buzzing)
Popping sound becomes
faster with the increase
of engine speed.

The noise is lost with
ignition switch turned to
ACC.
Mainly due to the
spark plugs.

Due to noise circula-
tion from elsewhere

Noise from the engineCheck the noise capacitor
and earth cable and
replace if necessary. (See
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.)
AM, FM: Defogger noise
(1) (Murmuring)Occurs when the defogger
switch is turned to ON and
OFF.Noise produced by spark-
ing when the defogger
switch is turned to ON/
OFF enters the glass
antenna.Check the noise capacitor
and replace if necessary.
(See Fig. 1.)
AM, FM: Defogger noise
(2) (Snapping noise)Occurs when the defogger
switch is turned to ON.Noise produced by current
flowing in the defogger
enters the glass antenna.Check the choke coil and
replace if necessary.
(See Fig. 3.)
AM, FM: Defogger noise
(3) (Scratching, gaggling)Occurs when the defogger
switch is turned to ON with
print heater wire broken.Noise produced by spark-
ing where print heater is
broken enters the glass
antenna.Repair the print heater.
AM, FM: Wiper motor
noise (Humming, wheez-
ing)Sound becomes faster with
the increase of wiper speed
and is lost when the wiper is
stopped.Caused by sparking in
wiper motor brush.Replace the wiper motor.
FM: Mirror motor noise
(Humming, wheezing)Occurs when electric mirror
operates.Caused by sparking in
mirror motor brush.Replace the electric
motor.
Other electrical compo-
nents–Noise is emitted by some
electrical components in
long use.Repair or replace electri-
cal components.
Static electricity (Crack-
ling, crinkling)
Noise is stopped when
the vehicle comes to a
complete stop.

Noise becomes louder
when the clutch is
released.Occurs when parts or
wiring move for some
reason and contact metal
parts of the body.Put parts or wiring into
position.
Various noises are produced
by body parts.Due to electrical detach-
ment of the hood, exhaust
pipe and muffler, suspen-
sion, etc. from the body.Tighten mounting bolts
securely. In many cases,
remedy of one part does
not eliminate the problem
due to incomplete earthing
elsewhere.
Caution
(1) Never let the noise filter contact a high tension cable. The noise filter could break down.
(2) Check that there is no external noise. This check is necessary to prevent misidentification of noise
sources.
(3) Noise prevention should be performed by eliminating noise sources in the descending order of loudness.

NOTE
1. Noise Suppressing Capacitor
The capacitor does not allow the passage of DC current but AC current. It decreases in impedance (resistance
to AC) as the number of waves increases, making the AC flow easier. A noise suppressing capacitor relying
on this property to function is inserted between a noise generating power line and earthing line to suppress
noise by earthing noise components (in AC or pulse signal) to the vehicle body.
2. Noise Filter
The coil allows the passage of DC current and increases in impedance (resistance to AC) as the number of
waves increases. A noise suppressing coil relying on this property to function is inserted somewhere in a noise
generating power line, preventing noise components from flowing or radiating from the line.
