INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3
AYC warning lamp does not light up when the ignition key
is turned to “ON” (engine stationary).

Open-circuited harnessRepair harness.
Improperly mounted wheel speed sensorCorrect sensor installation.
Missing or collapsed ABS rotor toothReplace ABS rotor.
Caution
Since the wheel speed sensor cable follows the movement of the front or rear suspension, it
may be open-circuited only when the vehicle is run on rough roads and not on ordinary road.
The wheel speed sensor output voltage waveform should therefore be checked also by rocking
the sensor harness so that driving on rough roads may be simulated.
ACTION WHEN BATTERY RUNS OUT
When the engine is started using a booster cable where the
battery has completely run down and you attempt to start
the vehicle without waiting for the battery to recover a certain
charge, the engine can misfire and you just cannot start to
move it. In such cases, charge the battery sufficiently; or,
remove the AYC fusible link from the engine compartment
relay box to make AYC inactive before attempting to start
the vehicle. When the fusible link is removed, the AYC warning
lamp lights up. After the battery has been recharged, fit the
fusible link back again and start the engine to ensure that
the AYC warning lamp is off.AYC fusible link

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL – Headlamp54-35
Standard values:
Vertical direction25’ (22 mm) below hori-
zontal line (H)
Horizontal
directionLeft headlampParallel to direction of
vehicle travel
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.

27. Remove the quick joint 2 from the low-pressure service
valve.
28. Remove the service can.
NOTE
If the service can is not emptied completely, keep the
handles of the charging valve and adaptor valve 1 closed
for the next charging.
REFRIGERANT CHARGING AMOUNT CHECK
1. Start the engine.
2. Operate A/C and set the temperature control to MAX
COOL.
3. Fix the engine speed at 1,500 r/min.
4. Check the refrigerant level (bubble generation) through
the sight glass of the receiver.
ItemCondition
Proper levelBubbles are generated some times. No
bubbles appear when the engine speed is
slightly increased.
Level too lowA large amount of air bubbles are generated. If
it looks milky white, the level is excessively
lowered.
Level too highNo air bubbles appear.
5. If the level is too low, add the refrigerant, and if the level
is too high, drain the refrigerant as necessary.
Caution
Be sure to work at the low-pressure side service valve.
