VEHICLES SPEED SENSOR CHECK

1. Remove the vehicle speed sensor and connect a 3

− 10 kilo

ohms resistor as shown in the illustration.

2. Turn the shaft of the vehicle speed sensor and check that

there is voltage between terminals 2 and 3. (1 turn = 4
pulses)

3. If within the standard value, the vehicle speed sensor is OK.

If not within the standard value, replace the vehicle speed
sensor.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

HEADLIGHT AIMING

M1542000900390

PRE-AIMING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Inspect for badly rusted or faulty headlight assemblies.
2. These conditions must be corrected before a satisfactory

adjustment can be made.

3. Inspect tire inflation, and adjust if necessary.
4. If the fuel tank is not full, place a weight in luggage room of

vehicle to simulate weight of a full tank [3 kg (6.5 pounds)
per gallon.]

5. There should be no other load in the vehicle other than

driver or substituted weight of approximately 70 kg (150
pounds) placed in driver's position.

6. Thoroughly clean headlight lenses.
7. Place the vehicle on a level floor, perpendicular to a flat

screen 7.62 m (25.0 feet) away from the bulb center-marks
on the headlight lens.

8. Rock vehicle sideways to allow vehicle to assume its normal

position.

9. Bounce the front suspension through three (3) oscillations

by applying the body weight to hood or bumper.

10.Set the distance between the screen and the bulb center

marks of the headlight as shown in the illustration.

11.Four lines of adhesive tape (or equivalent markings) are

required on screen or wall:

(1) Position a vertical tape or mark so that it is aligned with

the vehicle center line.

(2) Measure the distance from the center-marks on the

headlight lens to the floor. Transfer the measurement to
the screen. Horizontal tape or mark on the screen is for
reference of vertical adjustment.

(3) Measure the distance from the center line of the vehicle

to the center of each headlight. Transfer the
measurement to the screen. Vertical tape or mark on the
screen with reference to the center line of each headlight
bulb.

HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1. The low beam headlight will project on the screen upper

edge of the beam (cut-off).

2. Turn the adjusting screws to achieve the specified low-beam

cut-off location on the aiming screen.

Standard value:
(Vertical direction) 53 mm (2.1 inches) (0.4

°) below hor-

izontal (H)
Limit:
(Vertical direction) Standard value

± 50 mm (± 2.0

inches) (

± 0.38°)

3. When adjusting headlight, disconnect the other headlight

harness.

CAUTION

Do not cover a headlight for more than three minutes to
prevent the plastic headlight lens deformation.
4. There is no horizontal aim adjustment. Horizontal aim is

preset and does not require adjustment. High-beam pattern
should be correct when the low-beams are adjusted
properly.

LUMINOUS INTENSITY MEASUREMENT

M1542001000118

1. Set the headlights to high-beam
2. Using a photometer, and following its manufacturer's

instruction manual, measure the headlight center intensity
and check to be sure that the limit value is satisfied.

Limit: 40,000 cd or more {When a screen is set 18.3m
(60 feet) ahead of the vehicle}
