REAR AXLE - Troubleshooting3-7
Symptom
NOTE
1 Probable cause1 Remedy
In addition to a malfunction of the differential carrier components, abnormal noise can also be caused by the universal
joint of the propeller shaft, the axle shafts, the wheel bearings, etc. Before disassembling any parts, take all
possibilities into consideration and confirm the source of the noise.

Noise from the engine, muffler vibration, transaxle, propeller shaft, wheel bearings, tires, body, etc., is easily mistaken
as being caused by malfunctions in the differential carrier components. Be extremely careful and attentive whenperforming the driving test, etc.
Test methods to confirm the source of the abnormal noise include:coasting acceleration, constant speed driving,
raising the rear wheels on a jack, etc. Use the method most appropriate to the circumstances.

REAR AXLE TOTAL BACKLASH CHECK
N03FAAF
If the vehicle vibrates and produces a booming sound due to animbalance of the driving system, measure the rear axle total
backlash by the following procedures to see if the differential
carrier assembly required removal.
(1) Place the gearshift lever in the neutral position, apply the
parking brake and jack up the vehicle.
(2) Manually turn the propeller shaft clockwise as far as it will
go and make mating marks on the companion flange dust
cover and the differential carrier.
(3) Manually turn the propeller shaft counterclockwise as far as
it will go and measure the movement of the mating marks.Limit: 5 mm
(.2 in.)
(4) If the backlash exceeds the limit, remove the differential
carrier assembly and adjust the backlash. (Refer to P.3-20.)
GEAR OIL LEVEL CHECKN03FCAA1. Remove the filler plug, and check the oil level.
2. The oil level is sufficient if it reaches the filler plug hole.

(1) Support the vehicle on axle stands positioned at the
specified locations and remove the rear wheel.
(2) Separate the parking brake cable from the rear brake.
(3) Remove the caliper assembly and brake disc.
(4) Place a dial gauge as shown in the figure, and then
measure the play when the axle shaft is moved in the axial
direction.Limit: 0.8 mm
(.031 in.)
(5) If the play exceeds the limit, check the tightening torque of
the companion flange of the axle shaft; if it is correct,
replace the wheel bearing.

IncorrectREAR WHEEL BEARING ROTATION SLIDING
RESISTANCE CHECKNOOFJAA
(1) Remove the drive shaft from the companion flange.
(2) Remove the brake pad or caliper assembly.
(3) Attach a spring balance to the hub bolt, then, pulling the
balance at a right angle to the hub bolt, measure the
rotation sliding resistance (rotation starting torque) to see
whether it is within the standard value.
Standard value: 12
N (2.6 Ibs.) [rotation starting tor-
que 0.7 Nm (6 in
Ibs.)] or less
(4) If the rotation starting torque exceeds the standard value,
check the tightening torque of the axle shaft companion
flange. If it is normal, replace the bearing.
LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL CHECKNOJFIAA(1) Block the front wheels and move the shift lever to neutral.
(2) Completely release the parking brake.
(3) Jack up the rear wheels and place a rigid rack at the
specified part of the side sill.
(4) Disconnect the coupling of the differential and propeller
shaft.(5) When one wheel is slowly rotated, check whether or not
the wheel on the other side turns in the same direction.
(6) If it turns in the opposite direction, replace the viscous unit.

_ CAUTION
When servicing brake assemblies or components, do not create dust by sanding, grinding or by cleaning
brake parts with a dry brush or with compressed air. A WATER DAMPENED CLOTH SHOULD BE USED.
Many brake components contain asbestos fibers which can become air-borne if dust is created duringservice operations. Breathing dust which contains asbestos fibers can cause serious bodily harm.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
-- TROUBLESHOOTINGNO!JEBAE
PARTICULAR CHARACTERISTICS OF
THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMModels equipped with the anti-lock braking system
(A.B.S.) may exhibit one or more of the following
characteristics from time to time, but none of these
is abnormal.
(1) A pulsing feeling in the brake pedal, or vibration
of the body or the steering wheel, when the
anti-lock braking system is activated by sudden
braking or by braking on a slippery road surface.Actually, this phenomenon is an indication that
the anti-lock braking system is functioning nor-
mally.(2) When the vehicle speed reaches approximately
6 km/h (4 mph) after the engine is started and
the vehicle starts off (for the first time), a
whining motor noise may be heard from the
engine compartment if the vehicle is traveling in
a quiet place, but this noise is simply the result
of a self-check being made of the anti-lock
braking system operation.
TROUBLESHOOTING METHODSProblems related to the anti-lock braking system
(A.B.S.) can be classified into two general categor-
ies: problems in the electrical system and those in
the hydraulic system.For problems in the electrical system, the
self-diagnosis function is built into the electronic control
unit (E.C.U.) causing the A.B.S. warning light to
illuminate as a warning to the driver.
Problems in the hydraulic system (poor braking,
etc.) can be located in the same way as for ordinary
brakes. There is, however, the necessity to check todetermine whether the problem is related to ordin-
ary brake components or to the components relatedto the A.B.S.
HOW TO USE THE TROUBLESHOOTING
FLOW CHART(1) Using the flow chart, check the ABS warning
light light-up sequence and check the condition
of braking operation.
(2) Following the check chart listed in the remedy
column, perform the checks. There are [Explana-tion] and [Hint] in each check chart. Refer to
them when troubleshooting.
