GENERAL
SERVICING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1. When servicing the electrical system, disconnect the negative
cable from the terminal of the battery.
Caution
1. Before connecting or disconnecting the negative cable,
be sure to turn off the ignition switch and the lighting
switch.
(If this is not done, there is the possibility of
semiconductor parts being damaged.)
2. For MPI-equipped models, after completion of the work
steps [when the batterys negative (-) terminal is
connected], warm up the engine and allow it to idle
described below, in order to stabilize engine control
conditions, and then check to be sure that the idling is
satisfactory.
Engine coolant temperature : 80-95C (176-203F)
Lamps, electric fans, accessories: OFF
Transaxle: neutral position
(A/T models: N or P)
Steering wheel: neutral (center) position
2. If any section of a wiring harness interferes with the edge of a
part, or a corner, wrap the section of the harness with tape or
something similar in order to protect it from damage.
3. When installing any of the vehicle parts, be careful not to pinch
or damage any of the wiring harnesses.
4. If a burned-out fuse is to be replaced, be sure to use only a fuse
of the specified capacity. If a fuse a capacity larger than that
specified is used, parts may be damaged and the danger of fire
also exists.
GENERAL 90-3
5. The sensor, relay, etc, must never be subjected to strong
shocks. Do not allow them to fall and do not throw then when
handling.
6. The electronic parts used in the computer, relays, etc. are
readily damaged by heat. If there is a need for service opera-
tions that may cause the temperature to exceed 80C (176F),
remove the electronic parts beforehand.
7. Loose connectors could troubles. Make sure that the connec-
tors are connected securely.
8. When disconnecting a connector, be sure to pull only the
connector, not the harness.
9. Disconnect connectors which have catches by pressing in the
direction indicated by the arrows in the illustration.
90-4 GENERAL
10. Connect connectors which have catches by inserting the
connectors until a click noise is heard.
11. When using a circuit tester to perform continuity or voltage
checks on connector terminals, insert the test probe from the
harness side.
If the connector is a sealed connector, insert the test probe in
through the hole in the rubber cap for the electrical wires, being
careful not to damage the insulation of the wires continue to
insert the test probe until it contacts the terminal.
CHECKING CABLES AND WIRES
1. Checking the terminal for tightness.
2. Check terminals and wires for corrosion by battery electrolyte,
etc.
3. Check terminals and wires for open circuit or impending open
circuit.
4. Check wire insulation and coating for damage, cracks and
degrading.
5. Check conductive parts of terminals for contact with other
metallic parts
(vehicle body and other parts).
6. Check grounding parts to verify that there is complete continuity
between attaching bolt(s) and vehicle body.
7. Check for incorrect wiring.
8. Check that wirings are so clamped as to prevent contact with
sharp corners of the vehicle body, etc. or hot parts (exhaust
manifold, pipe, etc.)
9. Check that wirings are clamped firmly to secure enough
clearance from the fan pulley, fan belt and other rotating or
moving parts.
10. Check that the wirings between the fixed parts such as the
vehicle body and the vibrating parts such as the engine are
made with adequate allowance for vibrations.
CHECKING FUSES
A blade type fuse has test taps provided to allow checking of the
fuse itself without removing it from the fuse block. The fuse is okay
if the test lamp comes on when its one lead is connected to the test
taps (one at a time) and the other lead is grounded. (Change the
ignition switch position adequately so that the fuse circuit becomes
live.)
GENERAL
90-5
INSTALLATION OF RADIO EQUIPMENT
The computers of the electronic control system has been designed
so that external radio waves will not interfere with their operation.
However, if the antenna or cable of the amateur transceiver etc. is
routed near the computers, it may affect the operation of the
computers, even if the output of the transceiver is no more than
25W.
To protect each of the computers from interference by transmitter
(hum, transceiver, etc.) the following should be observed.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Install the antenna on the roof or rear bumper.
Because radio waves are emitted from the coaxial cable of the
antenna, keep it 200 mm (8 in.) away from the computers and
the wiring harness. If the cable must cross the wiring harness,
route it so that it runs at right angles to the wiring harness.
The antenna and the cable should be well matched, and the
standing-wave ratio* should be kept low.
A transmitter having a large output should not be installed in the
vehicle.
After installation of transmitter, run the engine at idle, emit radio
waves from the transmitter and make sure that the engine is not
affected.
*STANDING-WAVE RATIO
If an antenna and a cable having different impedances are connected,
the input impedance Zi will vary in accordance with the length of the
cable and the frequency of the transmitter, and the voltage distri-
bution will also vary in accordance with the location.
The ratio between this maximum voltage and minimum voltage is
called the standing-wave ratio. It can also be represented by the
ratio between the impedances of the antenna and the cable.
The amount of radio waves emitted from the cable increases as the
standing-wave ratio increases, and this increases the possibility of
the electronic components being adversely affected.

Printed heater line
CAUTION
Wrap tin foil around the end of the voltmeter test lead to
prevent damaging the heater line. Apply finger pressure on the
tin foil, moving the tin foil along the grid line to check for open
circuits.
1. Turn on the defogger switch and use a voltmeter to measure the
voltage of each heater line at the glass center point. If a voltage
of approximately 6V is indicated by the voltmeter, the heater
line of the rear window is considered satisfactory.
2. If a heater line is burned out between the center point and (+)
terminal, voltmeter indicates 12 volts.
3. If a heater line is burned out between the center point and (-)
terminal, the voltmeter indicates 0 volt.
E.T.A.C.S.
4. To check for open circuits, slowly move the test lead in the
direction that the open circuit seems to exist. Try to find a point
where a voltage is generated or changes to OV. The point where
the voltage has changed is the open-circuited point.
5. Use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance of each heater line
between a terminal and the center of a grid line and between the
same terminal and the center of one adjacent heater line after
another with defogger OFF. The section involving a broken
heater line indicates resistance twice as that in other section. In
the affected section, move the test lead to a position where
resistance sharply changes.
Repair of broken heater line
Provide the following items:
1. Conductive paint.
2. Paint thinner.
3. Making tape.
4. Silicone remover.
5. Thin brush
Wipe the glass adjacent to the broken heater line, clean with
silicone remover and attach the masking tape as shown. Shake
the conductive paint container well, and apply three coats with
a brush at intervals of about 15 minutes apart. Remove the tape
and allow sufficient time for drying before applying power.
For a better finish, scrape away excess deposits with a knife
after completely dried. (allow 24 hours)
CAUTION
After repairing, clean the glass with a soft dry cloth or wipe
along the grid line with a slightly moistened cloth.
