YOKE CHECK
Magnet is secured to yoke by bonding agent. Check magnet to see
that it is secured to yoke and for any cracks. Replace malfunction-
ing parts as an assembly.
CAUTION:
Do not clamp yoke in a vice or strike it with a hammer.
ARMATURE CHECK
1. Continuity test (between two segments side by side).
+No continuity ... Replace.
2. Insulation test (between each commutator bar and shaft).
+Continuity exists. ... Replace.
3. Check commutator surface.
+Rough ... Sand lightly with No. 500 - 600 emery paper.
4. Check diameter of commutator.
Commutator minimum diameter:
Refer to SDS (EL-51).
+Less than speci®ed value ... Replace.

Trouble Diagnoses
Before conducting an alternator test, make sure that the battery is fully charged. A 30-volt voltmeter and suit-
able test probes are necessary for the test. The alternator can be checked easily by referring to the Inspec-
tion Table.
+Before starting, inspect the fusible link.
+Use fully charged battery.

+When ®eld circuit is open, check condition of rotor coil, rotor slip ring and brush. If necessary,
replace faulty parts with new ones.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR
The IC regulator warning function activates to illuminate ``CHARGE'' warning lamp, if any of the following
symptoms occur while alternator is operating:
+Excessive voltage is produced.
+No voltage is produced.

Removal and Installation
CAUTION:
+Start service operation after removing the negative termi-
nal from the battery.
+Also remove the undercover, if equipped, before servicing.
Disassembly
REAR COVER
CAUTION:
Rear cover may be hard to remove because a ring is used to
lock outer race of rear bearing. To facilitate removal of rear
cover, heat just bearing box section with a 200W soldering
iron.
Do not use a heat gun, as it can damage diode assembly.

DAYTIME LIGHT IS CALCELED
(Lighting switch in 1st or 2nd position or ignition switch in START position)
+Ignition switch is in START position
+Lighting switch is in 1st or 2nd position.
When one of the above conditions exists, power is supplied
+to base of the transistor-1 in daytime light control unit
+through daytime light control unit terminalj
11orj6.
And then, power supply path to the base transistor-2 is interrupted to cancel daytime light operation.

System Description
CIRCUIT OPERATION
[Example]
Aiming switch ``0''
+When the aiming switch is set to ``0'', the motor will not start.
This is because the power terminals are positioned at the non-
conductive section of the sensor's rotary unit.
Aiming switch ``0''®``1''
+When the aiming switch is moved from ``0'' to ``1'', the sensor's
conductive section activates the relay. Power is supplied
through the relay to the motor. The headlamps will then move
in the ``DOWN'' direction.
+The motor continues to rotate while the rotary unit of the sen-
sor moves from point A to point B.
+The power terminals will then be positioned at the nonconduc-
tive section, disconnecting the power to the motor. The motor
will then stop.
Aiming switch ``1''®``0''
+When the aiming switch is moved from ``1'' to ``0'', the sensor's
conductive section activates the relay. Power is supplied
through the relay to the motor. The motor will rotate to move the
headlamps in the ``UP'' direction.
+When the rotary unit of the sensor moves from point B to point
A, the motor will stop.

METER AND GAUGES
Trouble Diagnoses (Cont'd)
EL-111

a) The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated tem-
perature on the thermometer.
b) The difference in temperature detected during a period of 40 seconds is less than 1ÉC (1.8ÉF) when
vehicle speed has been greater than 24 km/h (15 MPH) for more than 100 seconds.
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat or cooling fan
operation during low-speed driving.)
c) The ignition key has been turned to the ``OFF'' position for more than 4 hours. (The engine is cold.)
Calibration Procedure For Compass
The difference between magnetic North and geographical North
can sometimes be great enough to cause false compass readings.
In order for the compass to operate accurately in a particular zone,
it must be calibrated using the following procedure.
1. Determine your location on the worldwide magnetic variation
map on next page. Record your zone number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON position.
3. Push the ``Mode'' switch continuously for ®ve seconds until the
current zone entry number is displayed.
4. Press the ``Mode'' switch repeatedly until the desired zone num-
ber is displayed.
Once the desired zone number is displayed, stop pressing the
``Mode'' switch and the display will show compass direction after a
few seconds.
CORRECTION FUNCTIONS OF COMPASS
The direction display is equipped with automatic correction func-
tion. If the direction is not shown correctly, carry out initial correc-
tion.
INITIAL CORRECTION PROCEDURE FOR COMPASS
1. Pushing the ``Mode'' switch for about 10 seconds will enter the
initial correction mode. The direction bar starts blinking.
2. Turn the vehicle slowly in an open, safe place. The initial cor-
rection is completed in one or two turns.
NOTE:
In places where the terrestrial magnetism is extremely
disturbed, the initial correction may start automatically.
