Emission Control System
Three Way Catalytic Converter {TWCI (cont'd}
1P0420 Thescantool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0420: Catalyst system efficiency belowthreshold.
DescriDtion
This system evaluates the catalyst's capacity by means of the HO2S (Primary and Secondary) output during stable driving
conditions. lf deterioration has been detected during three consecutive driving cycles, the MIL comes on and DTC P0420 will
be stored.
NOTE: lf some of the DTCS listed below are stored at the same time as DTC P0420, troubleshoot those DTCS first. then
troubleshoot DTC P0420.
P0137, P0138: Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2)
P0141: Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) Heater
Possible Cause
. IWC Deterioration
. Exhaust system leakage
Troubleshooting Flowchart
- The MIL has been reDoried on.- DTC P0420 is stored.
Problem verification:1. Do the ECM/PCM Reset Procedure,2. Start the engine. Hold theengine at 3,000 rpm with noload (in Park or neutrali untilthe radiator fan comes on.3. Connect the SCS service connector.4. Test-drive 40 - 55 mph (64 - 88km/h) for approx. lwo minutes.Then decelerate for at least 3seconds with the throftle completely closed. Then reducethe vehicle speed to 35 mph
156 km/h), and try to hold ituntil the readiness code

Power Steering Gearbox
Removal
Note these items during removal:
. Using solvent and a brush, wash any oil and dirt off
the valve body unit its lines, and the end if the gear-
box. Blow dry with compressed air.
. Be sure to remove the steering wheel before discon-
necting the steering joint. Damage to the cable reel
can occur.
. With 4WD. tilt the engine with a jack to expand the
clearance between the transfer assembly and rear
beam when removing the steering gearbox from the
rear oeam.
Do not remove the steering gearbox by removing the
transfer assembly from the transmission.
1. Drain the power steering fluid as described on page'17-15.
Raise the vehicle, and suppon it on safety stands in
the proper locations (see section 1).
Remove the front wheels,
Remove the drive/s airbag assembly {see section 24).
Remove the steering wheel {see page 17-18).
Remove the steering joint bolts, then disconnect the
steering joint by moving the joint toward the column.

7. Remove the cotter pin from the nut, and remove the
castle nut {'97 - 98 models) or hex nut ('99 - 00
models).
COTTER PINReplace.
Install the 10 mm hex nut on the ball joint. Be sure
that the 10 mm hex nut is flush with the ball joint
pin end, or the threaded section of the ball joint pin
might be damaged by the special tool. Refer to sec-
tion 18 for ball joint remover usage instruction, Be
careful not to damaging the ball joint boot.
Separate the tie-rod ball joint and knuckle using the
special tool.
Remove the right and left tie-rod ends, then extend
the rack all the way to the right.
Remove the TWC (see section 9).
Disconnect the shift linkage from the transmission
(M/T: see section 13, A/T: see section 14).
With 4WD. separate the propeller shaft and transfer
assembly (see section 161.

Center the steering rack within its stroke.
Install the steering joint, and reconnect the steering
shaft and pinion shaft.
NOTE: Make sure the steering joint is connected as
follows.
a. Insen the upper end of the steering joint onto the
steering shaft (line up the bolt hole with the flat
on the shaft).

the lower joint bolt is securely in the groove in
the pinion shaft.
d. Pull on the steering joint to make sure that the
steering joint is fully seated.

17. Wipe off any grease contamination trom the ball
joint tapered section and threads then reconnect the
tie-rod ends to the steering knuckles. For'97 - 98
models; torque the castle nut to the lower torque
specification, then tighten it only far enough to
align the slot with the pin hole. Do not align the nut
by loosening. Install new cotter pins.
