Low Fuel Indicator Light Inspection

1. Disconnect the fuel tank unit wire connector.
2. Connect between terminal (YL) and (B).
3. Turn the key switch on. Check that the bulb lights.
If operation is not correct, remove and check the bulb or circuit.

Check level sensor operation

1. Remove the fuel tank unit.
2. Apply battery voltage between terminal (YL) and (B) through

a 3.4 watt bulb. Check that the bulb lights.

Note:
It will take a short time for the bulb light.
3. Submerge the sensor in fuel. Check that the bulb goes out.
If operation is not correct, replace the fuel tank unit.

BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT

The brake system warning light comes on while the parking
brake is set and the starter key is ON position.
Note:
The parking brake indicator light circuit is designed to
prevent driving of the vehicle with the parking brake on.
It does not indicate the condition of the parking brake
system.

The parking brake switch is in parallel with the brake fluid
switch.

The brake system warning light also comes on when reservoir
brake fluid level falls below the specified limit with the parking
brake released and the starter switch is ON position.

Vehicle Speed Sensor Inspection

1. Connect the vehicle speed sensor connector 1

M-10

(Diesel engine: 1

E-44

) to the battery (+) terminal and 2

M-10

(Diesel engine: 2

E-44

) to the (-) terminal.

2. Connect a resistance of 1.3K ohm to 5K ohm (1/4 W or

more) between connectors 1

M-10

. (Diesel engine: 1

E-44

)

and 3

M-10

(Diesel engine: 3

)

CAUTION:
Be extremely careful not to connect the battery (+)
terminal to the connector 3

M-10

(Diesel engine: 3

E-44

).

This may damage the vehicle speed sensor.

3. Rotate the shaft of the vehicle speed sensor slowly and

measure the voltage at the both ends with a digital tester.

The voltage, with one rotation of shaft fluctuates four times in
the following range: 10 to 14V - 2V or less.

Timing belt must be replaced after 100,000 km of vehicle operation.
When the odometer reading reaches 100,000 km, the timing belt indicator light will turn on to remind the driver to
change the timing belt.
After replacing the timing belt, the timing belt indicator light must be reset to remind the driver to replace the timing
belt after the next 100,000 km.
