Component DescriptionNCEC0551The crankshaft position sensor is located on the right rear wall of
the cylinder block in relation to the signal plate on the No. 6 coun-
terweight.
The crankshaft position sensor is a basic component of the engine
control system. It monitors engine speed, piston position, and fluc-
tuation of the engine revolution. These input signals to the engine
control system are used to control fuel injection, ignition timing and
other functions.
The sensor consists of a permanent magnet, core and coil.
When the engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth
cause the gap with the sensor to change.
The signal plate is provided with 34 teeth to emit a signal at an
interval of 10É during crankshaft operations. However, it is not pro-
vided with 2 teeth to emit a signal at an interval of 180É.
The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to
change.
Due to the changing magnetic field, the voltage from the sensor
changes.
The ECM receives a voltage signal to provide ªtime processingº for
engine speed, piston position and fluctuation of engine revolutions.
This sensor is not used to control the engine system. It is used only
for the on board diagnosis.
ECM Terminals and Reference ValueNCEC0552Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

Bulb Replacement
The headlamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replace-
able halogen bulb. The bulb can be replaced from the engine
compartment side without removing the headlamp body.

Grasp only the plastic base when handling the bulb.
Never touch the glass envelope.
1. Disconnect the battery cable.
2. Turn the bulb retaining ring counterclockwise until it is free
from the headlamp reflector, and then remove it.
3. Disconnect the harness connector from the back side of the
bulb.
4. Remove the headlamp bulb carefully. Do not shake or rotate
the bulb when removing it.
5. Install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Do not leave headlamp reflector without bulb for a long
period of time. Dust, moisture, smoke, etc. entering head-
lamp body may affect the performance of the headlamp.
Remove headlamp bulb from the headlamp reflector just
before a replacement bulb is installed.
Aiming Adjustment
When performing headlamp aiming adjustment, use an aiming
machine, aiming wall screen or headlamp tester. Aimers should
be in good repair, calibrated and operated in accordance with
respective operation manuals.
If any aimer is not available, aiming adjustment can be done as
follows:
For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
a. Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
b. Place vehicle and tester on one and same flat surface.
c. See that there is no-load in vehicle (coolant, engine oil
filled up to correct level and full fuel tank) other than the
driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver’s position).
CAUTION:
Be sure aiming switch is set to“0”when performing aiming
adjustment on vehicles equipped with headlamp aiming
control.

Aiming Adjustment
Before performing aiming adjustment, make sure of the follow-
ing.
a. Keep all tires inflated to correct pressure.
b. Place vehicle on level ground.
c. Check that vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of
coolant, engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack, and tools).
Have the driver or equivalent weight placed in driver’s seat.
1. Set the distance between the screen and the center of the
fog lamp lens as shown at left.
2. Turn front fog lamps ON.
3. Adjust front fog lamps so that the top edge of the high inten-
sity zone is 100 mm (4 in) below the height of the fog lamp
centers as shown at left.

When performing adjustment, if necessary, cover the head-
lamps and opposite fog lamp.

Regarding the procedures of NATS initialisation and NATS igni-
tion key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II operation manual
for NATS.
Therefore, CONSULT-II NATS software (program card and
operation manual) must be kept strictly confidential to main-
tain the integrity of the anti-theft function.
lWhen servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialisa-
tion and additional registration of other NATS ignition key
IDs), it may be necessary to re-register original key identifi-
cation. Therefore, be sure to obtain all keys from vehicle
owner.
A maximum of four key IDs can be registered into NATS.
Precautions for Super Lock System
Locking the driver's door or front passenger's door with the key
or remote control will lock all doors and activate the Super Lock
System.
The Super Lock System is designed to prevent theft as it can
only be released when a front door is unlocked using a key or
remote control.
This means, none of the door locks can be operated from the
inside using the door lock knob when the Super Lock System is
activated.
General Precautions
lDo not operate the engine for an extended period of time
without proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any flammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any
flammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrig-
erant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area,
be sure to properly ventilate the area before working with
hazardous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
lBefore jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other
tire blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving.
After jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with
safety stands at the points designated for proper lifting before
working on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
lWhen removing a heavy component such as the engine or
transaxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance
and drop them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent
parts, especially the brake tubes and master cylinder.

DETECTABLE LINES AND NON-DETECTABLE LINES
In some wiring diagrams, two kinds of lines, representing wires,
with different weight are used.
lA line with regular weight (wider line) represents a ªdetect-
able line for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code)º. A ªdetectable
line for DTCº is a circuit in which ECM (Engine Control Mod-
ule) can detect its malfunctions with the on-board diagnostic
system.
lA line with less weight (thinner line) represents a ªnon-detect-
able line for DTCº. A ªnon-detectable line for DTCº is a cir-
cuit in which ECM cannot detect its malfunctions with the
on-board diagnostic system.
