Rotate thumb adjusting screws on each calibration fixture until level vials on fixtures are centered. 6. With both calibration level vials centered, turn vertical dial knobs on each aimer until aimer level vials are centered. If aimer vertical dial pointers read between 1/2 up and 1/2 down, aimers are within allowable vertical tolerance. Recalibrate units if beyond these limits. Vertical dial pointer reading (on each aimer): 112 up to 112 down
7. Adjust horizontal dial knob on each aimer until split image

targets align. I f aimer horizontal dial pointers read between 1 left and 1 right, the aimers are within allowable tolerance limits. Recalibrate units if beyond these limits. Horizontal dial pointer reading (on each aimer): 1 left to 1 right

MOUNTING AIMERS 1. If necessary to expose adjusting screws, remove headlight trim rings. 2. Snap proper adaptor into position on each aim full contact with aimer mounting flange.

VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT 1. The vertical dial should be set at zero. (For passenger vehicles an 0 setting is generally required. For special settings, consult local state laws.) 2. Turn vertical adjusting screw until the level bubble is centered between the lines. 3. Repeat the last two steps on the opposite headlight. 4. Re-check target alignment on both aimers and readjust horizontal aim if necessary. 5. Remove aimers by pressing vacuum release button located on piston handle. AIMING WITH SCREEN HEADLIGHT AIM PREPARATION Place vehicle on a known level floor 7.6 m (25 feet) from aiming screen or light colored wall. Four lines of adhesive tape or like are required on screen or wall: 1. Position a vertical tape so that it is aligned with the vehicle center line. 2. Position a horizontal tape with reference to center line of headlight. 4 3. Position a vertical tape on the screen with reference to the center line of each of headlights. VISUAL HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT 1. A properly aimed lower beam will appear on the aiming screen 7.6 m (25 feet) in front of the vehicle. The shaded area as shown in the illustration indicates high intensity zone. 2. Adjust low beam of headlights to match the low beam pattern of the right and left headlights. 1 Caution When adjusting one headlight, the other headlight should be turned off if possible. If this is not possible, do not cover the other headlight for more than three minutes while it is turned on. Otherwise, heat from the bulb may warp the headlight lens. NOTE Once the headlight low beams have been visually adjusted, high beam adjustment is unnecessary. LUMINOUS INTENSITY MEASUREMENT Measure the luminous intensity of headlights with a photometer in accordance with the instruction manual prepared by the manufacturer of the photometer and make sure that the luminous intensity is within the following limit. Limit: 20,000 cd or more NOTE (1) When measuring the luminous intensity of headlight, keep the engine at 2,000 r/min and have the battery changed. (2) If there are specific regulations for luminous intensity of headlights in the region where the vehicle is operated, make sure that the intensity conforms to the requirements of such regulations.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS 1. The turn-signal lights and hazard-warninglights do not operate at all. Check the hazard-warning switch contact (power supply side). 0 Check the flasher unit. 2. All turn-signal lights at the left (or right) side do not function. 1) The hazard-warning lights function normally. Check the hazard-warning switch contact (turn-signal side). Check the turn-signal switch. 3. Turn-signal lights continue to illuminate. Check the bulbs.
4. The hazard-warning lights do not function. 1) The turn-signal lights function normally. Check the hazard-warning switch contact (hazard-warning light side).

OPERATION <Turn-signal light> 1. In normal operating condition When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, battery voltage is applied through the hazard switch to the turn-signal and hazard flasher unit. When the turn signal switch is turned to the LH or R H position, the relay contact turns ON and OFF repeatedly due to the switching operation of the condenser and transistor inside the flasher unit, and the turn signal light and the LH and RH of the turn signal indicator light flash. 2. When one bulb is burnt When either one of the turn signal lights is burnt, the resistance of the entire light circuit increases, so that the time required for charging and discharging of the condenser is shortened, causing the ON OFF cycle of the relay to become faster than normal and the number of flashes to increase. <Hazard-warning lights> When the hazard-warning switch is switched to the ON position, the relay contact of the flasher unit is switched ON and OFF repeatedly, in the same manner as for the operation of the turn-signal lights, and the left and right turnsignal lights and turn-signal indicator lights simultaneously flash repeatedly. NOTE The number of flashes of the hazard-warning lights does not change if there is damaged or disconnected wiring of one light. COMPONENT LOCATION Turn signal and hazard flasher unit

If there is more noise than other radios, find out the noise conditions and the name and frequency of the receiving stations from the user, and consult with the service center.

54-70

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL - Radio and Tape Plaver

Do the following measures eliminate the noise? yes 0 Change to a different station with a strong signal to boost resistance to interference. 0 Suppress high tones to reduce noise. 0 Extend antenna completely.

~~

NOTE About FM waves: FM waves have the same properties as light, and can be deflected and blocked. Wave reception is not possible in the shadow of obstructions such as buildings or mountains. The signal becomes weak as the distance from the stations transmission antenna increases. Although this may vary according to the signal strength of the transmitting station and intervening geographical formations or buildings, the area of good reception is approx. 20-25 km (12-16 miles) for stereo reception, and 30-40 km (19-25 miles) for monaural reception. The signal becomes weak when an area of shadow from the transmitting antenna (places where there are obstructions such as mountains or buildings between the antenna and the car), and noise will appear. <This is called first fading, and gives a steady buzzing noise>. If a direct signal hits the antenna at the same time as a signal reflected by obstructions such
FM broadcast good reception areas

as mountains or buildings, interference of the two signals will generate noise. Duringtraveling, noise will appear each time the vehicles antenna passes through this kind of obstructed area. The strength and interval of the noise varies according to the signal strength and the conditions of deflection. <This is called multipath noise, and is a repetitious buzzing>. 4. Since FM stereo transmission and reception has a weaker field than monaural, it is often accompanied by a hissing noise. 5. Ordinary vehicles are more susceptible to these types of interference than vehicles equipped with an FM diversity antenna system. If the problem vehicle is identical to a vehicle (radio) of the same type, the variation may be due to different antenna systems. FM diversity antenna system: Two types of antennas (whip or motor antenna and glass antenna) are used. This system allows selection of the antenna that gives the best reception.

Mixed with noise, only at night (AM).

The following factors can be considered as possible causes of noise appearing at night. 1. Factors due to signal conditions: Due to the fact that long-distance signals are more easily receivedat night, even stationsthat are received without problem during the day may experience interferencein a general worsening of reception conditions. The weaker a station is the more susceptible it is to interference, and a change

to a different station or the appearance of a beating sound* may occur. Beat sound: Two signals close in frequency interfere with each other, creating a repetitious high-pitched sound. This sound is generated not only by sound signals but by electrical waves . as well. 2. Factors due to vehicle noise: Alternator noise may be a cause.

2. There is much noise only on FM a) Due to differences in FM and AM systems, FM is not as susceptible as AM to interference from engines, power lines, lightning, etc. On the other hand, there are cases due to the characteristics of FM waves of noise or distortion generated by typical noise interference (first fading and multipath). (Refer to A-2) <Noise (hissing) occurs in weak signal areas such as mountain-

ous regions, but this is not due to a problem with the radio.> b) Ordinary vehicles are more susceptible to these types of interference than vehicles equipped with an FM diversity antenna system.

Disappears when the vehicle is completely stopped. Severe when the clutch is en. gaged. Various noises are producedd e pending on the body part of the vehicle.

Occurs when parts or wiring move for some reason and contact metal parts of the body. Due to detachment from the body of the front hood, bumpers, exhaust pipe and muffler, suspension, etc.

Return parts or wiring to their proper position.

Ground parts by bonding. Cases where the problem is not eliminated by a single response to one area are common, due to several body parts being imperfectly grounded.

Caution 1. Connecting a high tension cable to the noise filter may destroy the noise filter and should never be done. 2. Check that there is no external noise. Since failure due this may result in misdiagnosis due to inability to identify the noise source, this operation must be performed. 3. Noise prevention should be performed by suppressing strong sources of noise step by step.
NOTE 1. Condenser The condenser does not pass D.C. current, but as the number of waves increases when it

oasses A.C. current. imoedance [resistance against A.C.) decreases,' and current flow is facilitated. A noise suppressing condenser which takes advantage of this property is inserted between the power line for the noise source and the ground. This suppresses noise by grounding the noise component (A.C. or pulse signal) to the body of the vehicle. 2. Coil The coil passes D.C. current, but impedance rises as the number of waves increases relative to the A.C. current. A noise suppressing coil which takes advantage of this property is inserted into the power line for the noise source, and works by preventing the noise component from flowing or radiating out of the line.

About multipath noise and fading noise Because the frequency of FM waves is extremely high, it is highly susceptible to effects from geological formations and buildings. These effects disrupt the broadcast signal and obstruct reception in several ways. Multipath noise This describes the echo that occurs when the broadcast signal is reflected by a large obstruc-

tion and enters the receiver with a slight time delay relative to the direct signal. (repetitious buzzing) Fading noise This is a buzzing noise that occurs when the broadcast beam is disrupted by obstructing objects and the signal strength fluctuates intricately within a narrow range.

For this reason, if there are still problems with noise even after the measures described in steps A-1 to A-8 have been taken, get information on the factors listed at left as well as determining whether the problem occurs with AM or FM, the station names, frequencies, etc., and contact a service center.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES

PRINTED-HEATER LINE CHECK
(1) Run engine at 2,000 r/min. Check heater element with battery at full. (2) Turn ON rear window defogger switch. Measure heater element voltage with circuit tester at rear window glass center A. Condition good if indicating about 6 V. (3) If 12 V is indicated at A, there is a break in the negative terminals from A. Move test bar slowly to negative terminal to detect where voltage changes suddenly (0 V). (4) If 0 V is indicated at A, there is a break in the positive terminals from A. Detect where the voltage changes suddenly (12 V) with the same method described.
