GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. GENERAL NOTICE
Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner’s manual supplement in which
the maintenance schedule is shown.
Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performe\
d.
Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in\
the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time inter\
val (months).
Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval \
as before unless
otherwise noted.
Failure to do even one item can cause the engine to run poorly and incre\
ase exhaust emissions.
2. WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
Check that there is sufficient fluid in the tank.
3. ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL Check that the coolant level is between the FULL and LOW lines on the se\
e −through reservoir.
4. RADIATOR AND HOSES
(a) Check that the front of the radiator is clean and not blocked with leave\
s, dirt or bugs.
(b) Check the hoses for cracks, kinks, rot or loose connections.
5. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Check that the electrolyte level of all battery cells is between the upp\
er and lower level lines on the case.
If level is low, add distilled water only.
6. BRAKE FLUID LEVELS
Check that the brake fluid level is near the upper level line on the see\
−through reservoir.
7. ENGINE DRIVE BELTS
Check drive belt for fraying, cracks, wear or oiliness.
8. ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check the level on the dipstick with the engine turned off.
9. POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
(a) Check the level on the dipstick.
(b) The level should be in the HOT or COLD range depending on the fluid temp\
erature.
10. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
(b) With the engine idling and the parking and foot brake applied, shift the sel\
ector into all positions from the P to L, and then shift into the P.
(c) Pull out the dipstick and wipe off the fluid with a clean rag. Re −insert the dipstick fully and check that
the fluid level is in the HOT range.
(d) Do this check with the fluid at normal driving temperature (70 − 80°C (158 − 176° F)).
HINT:
Wait about 30 minutes before checking the fluid level after extended driving\
at high speeds in hot weather,
driving in heavy traffic or with a trailer.
11. EXHAUST SYSTEM
Visually inspect for cracks, holes or loose supports.
If any change in the sound of the exhaust or smell of the exhaust fumes is\
noticed, have the cause located
and corrected.

2. JACK UP FRONT OF VEHICLE AND SUPPORT IT WITH STANDS
3. TURN STEERING WHEEL
With the engine stopped, turn the wheel slowly from lock to lock
several times.
4. LOWER VEHICLE
5. START ENGINE
Run the engine at idle for a few minutes.

wheel to the opposite full lock and keep it there for 2 −3 se-
conds.
(b) Repeat (a) several times.
7. STOP ENGINE
8. CHECK FOR FOAMING OR EMULSIFICATION
If the system has to be bled twice specifically because of foam-
ing or emulsification, check for fluid leaks in the system.

INSPECTION
1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL
(a) Keep the vehicle level.
(b) With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the oil reservoir.
If necessary, add fluid.
Fluid: ATF DEXRON® II or III
HINT:
Check that the fluid level is within the HOT LEVEL range on the
reservoir cap dipstick. If the fluid is cold, check that it is within
the COLD LEVEL range.
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to
boost fluid temperature.
Fluid temperature: 80° C (176°F)
(e) Check for foaming or emulsification.
If there is foaming or emulsification, bleed power steering sys-
tem. (See page SR−3 ).
(f) With the engine idling, measure the fluid level in the oil reservoir.
(g) Stop the engine.
(h) Wait a few minutes and remeasure the fluid level in the oil reservoir.
Maximum fluid level rise: 5 mm (0.20 in.)
If a problem is found, bleed power steering system (See page
SR−3 ).
(i) Check the fluid level.

HINT:
There are 3 vane plate lengths for the following rotor and cam
ring marks.
3. INSPECT FLOW CONTROL VALVE
(a) Coat the valve with power steering fluid and check that it
falls smoothly into the valve hole by its own weight.
(b) Check the valve for leakage. Close one of the holes and apply 392 − 490 kPa (4 − 5 kgf/cm
2, 57 − 71 psi) of com-
pressed air into the opposite side, and confirm that air
does not come out from the end holes.
Inscribed mark:
A, B, C, D, E or F
4. INSPECT SPRING
Using calipers, measure the free length of the spring. Minimum free length: 35 − 37 mm (1.38 − 1.46 in.)
