*: There is resistance because this circuit is grounded through
the bulb.
If the circuit is as specified, replace the sensor.
If the circuit is not as specified, inspect the circuits connected
to other parts.
23. INSPECT OPEN DOOR WARNING LIGHT
Disconnect the connector from the door courtesy switch, and
ground terminal 1 on the wire harness side connector and
check that the warning light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, inspect the bulb or wire har-
ness.

(See page BE-31)
25. INSPECT SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the terminals buckle
switch and ground terminal on the wire harness side con-
nector as shown in the illustration.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and check that the warning

2. ADJUST HEADLIGHT AIM ONLY
(a) Place the vehicle in the following conditions.

The area around the headlight is not deformed.

The vehicle is parked on a level surface.

Tire inflation pressure is the specified value.

A driver is in the driver's seat and the vehicle is in a state ready for driving (with a tank full).

The vehicle has been bounced several times.
(b) Check the headlight aiming.
(1) Prepare a thick white paper.
(2) Stand the paper perpendicular to the ground at the position 9.84 ft away from the headlights.
(3) Ensure that the center line of the vehicle and the paper face forms a 90-degree angle as shown
in the illustration.
(4) Draw a horizontal line (H line) on the paper, showing where the headlights should strike.
(5) Draw a vertical line (V line) to where the center line of the vehicle is to be.
(6) Draw 2 vertical lines (by connecting the low and high beam center marks) to where the both head-
lights should strike (V RH and V LH lines).
(7) Draw a horizontal line (by connecting the both low beam center marks) to where the headlights
should strike (H RH and H LH lines).
HINT:
The H RH and H LH line is 0.4° below the horizontal line (H line) of the light axis.
(8) Start the engine.
(9) Turn the headlights ON.
(10) Check that the headlights properly strike the position shown in the illustration.
(11) If not, adjust the lights in the vertical direction.
HINT:
As shown in the illustration, adjust each aim of the RH and LH lights.
(c) When adjusting it in the vertical direction:
Using adjusting bolt, adjust the headlight aim to within the specified range.
