ID CODE REGISTRATION METHOD
If using an ignition key that has just been newly purchased,
or if the immobilizer-ECU has been replaced, you will need
to register the ID codes for each ignition key being used
into the immobilizer-ECU. (A maximum of eight different ID
codes can be registered.)
Moreover, when the immobilizer-ECU has been replaced, you
will need to use the MUT-II to register the password that
the user specifies into the immobilizer-ECU. (Refer to the
MUT-II instruction manual for instructions on using the MUT-II.)
Caution
If registering of the ID codes is carried out all
previously-registered codes will be erased. Accordingly,
you should have ready all of the ignition keys that have
already been registered.
1. Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector.
Caution
Turn the ignition switch off before connecting or
disconnecting the MUT-II.
2. Check that the diagnosis code No.54 is not displayed
for MPI system. If the code is displayed, carry out
troubleshooting before proceeding to the next step. (Refer
to GROUP 13A – Troubleshooting).
3. Use the ignition key that is to be registered to turn the
ignition switch to the ON position.
4. Use the MUT-II to register the ID code. If you are
registering two or more codes, use the next key to be
registered to turn the ignition switch to the ON position
without disconnecting the MUT-II.
5. Disconnect the MUT-II. This completes the registration
operation.
6. Check that the engine can be started by each one of
the ignition keys.
7. Check that the diagnosis code No.54 is not displayed
for MPI system. If the code is displayed, erase it. (Refer
to GROUP 13A – Troubleshooting).

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
SPEEDOMETER CHECK
1. Adjust the pressure of the tyres to the specified level.
2. Set the vehicle onto a speedometer tester and use wheel
chocks to hold the rear wheels.
3. Pull the parking brake lever firmly.
4. To prevent the front wheel from moving from side to side,
attach tension bars to the tie-down hook, and secure
both ends to anchor plates.
5. To prevent the vehicles from starting, attach a chain or
wire to the rear towing hook, and secure the other end
of the chain or wire firmly to an unmovable body.
6. Check if the speedometer indication range is within the
standard values and if the pointer fluctuation is within
the limits.
Caution
Do not operate the clutch suddenly. Do not
increase/decrease speed rapidly while testing.
Standard values:
Vehicle speed km/hSpeedometer indication
allowable errors km/h
4037 – 45
8075 – 88
120113 – 132
160150 – 176
Limit: Pointer fluctuation
(at vehicle speeds of higher than 35 km/h) ±3 km/h
TACHOMETER CHECK
1. Insert a paper clip in the engine speed detection connector
from the harness side, and attach the engine
speedometer.
2. Compare the readings of the engine speedometer and
the tachometer at every engine speed, and check if the
variations are within the standard values.
Standard values:
700 r/min : ±100 r/min
3,000
*1 r/min : ±150 r/min
3,000*2 r/min : +225 to –100 r/min

Cautions in Handling Headlamp Assembly
Each headlamp assembly has a plastic outer lens on. Observe the do’s and don’ts below when
handling the headlamps.

Do not leave the headlamps lit for longer than 3 minutes with a protective cover on.

Do not mask the outer lens surface by taping or in any other way.

Do not scrub the outer lens surface with a pointed tool.

Use the designated wax remover for cleaning the outer lens surface. Rinse it thoroughly.

Use the designated genuine bulbs.

DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
INPUT SIGNAL INSPECTION POINTS
Refer to Group 00 – How to Use Troubleshooting / Inspection Service Points.
The lighting monitor buzzer does not sound even when
the ignition key is removed with the tail lamps or
headlamps ON and the driver’s side door open. [However,
the key reminder warning buzzer sounds when inserting
the key into the ignition key cylinder.
Probable cause
The cause is probably a malfunction of the lighting switch input circuit system or
a malfunction of ETACS-ECU or buzzer ECU. When the key reminder warning buzzer
is sounding, the lighting monitor warning buzzer does not sound even if the tail lamps
or headlamps are lit.

Right head-
lamp15’ (13 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.
INTENSITY MEASUREMENT
1. Position the tester so that its light sensor faces each
headlamp center to center at the appropriate distance
shown.
2. Maintain an engine speed of 2,000 r/minto keep the battery
in the charged condition.
3. Check that the high-beam headlamp intensity at the center
of the high intensity zone satisfies the limit value.
Limit: 15,000 cd or more per headlamp
Caution
(1) Perform intensity measurement, one headlamp at
a time, with the low-beam lamp and the other
headlamp disconnected from the battery unless
circumstances compel otherwise. 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 lens surfaces by taping
or in any other way.
HEADLAMP BULB REPLACEMENT
1. Disconnect the connector.
2. Remove the socket cover.
3. Unhook the spring which secures the bulb, and then
remove the bulb.
Caution
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.
