6. Remove the two screws. then remove the switch.
Check for continuity between the terminals in each
switch position according to the table.
. lf there is continuity, and it matches the table,
replace the cable reel.
. lf there is no continuity in one or both positions,
replace the switch.
lf all tests prove OK, reconnect the cable reel sub-
harness connector.
Reconnect the driver's airbag and front passenger's
airbag connectors, and reinstall the access panel on
the steering wheel.
Reconnect the battery positive cable. then the nega-
tive cable.
After connecting the airbag connectors, confirm
proper system operation: Turn the ignition switch ON
(ll); the SRS indicator light should come on for about
six seconds and then go off.

Actuator Test
Disconnect the actuator cable trom the actuator rod
and the 4P connector.
Connect battery power to the No. 4 terminal and
ground to the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 terminals,
Connect a vacuum pump to the vacuum hose. Then
apply vacuum to the actuator.

The actuator rod should pull in completely. lf the rod
pulls in only part-way or not at all, check for a leak-
ing vacuum Iine or defective solenoid.

Disconnect ground from the No. 3 terminal. The actu-
ator rod should return. lf it does not return, but the
vent hose and filter are not plugged, the solenoid
valve assembly is defective.
Repeat steps 2 through 5. and disconnect ground
from the No. l terminal. The actuator rod should
return. lf it does not return, but the vent hose and
filter are not plugged, the solenoid valve assembly
is defective.
lf you replace the solenoid valve assembly, be sure
to use new O-rings on each solenoid.
Disconnect power and ground from the 4P connector.
Disconnect the vent hose from the actuator. Connect
a vacuum pump to the actuator vent hose port, and
apply vacuum. The actuator rod should pull in com-pletely. lf not, the vacuum valve is stuck open.
Replace the actuator,

Actuator Cable Adiustment
'1.Check that the actuator cable operates smoothly
with no binding or sticking.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (A,/T in E or E position, M/T in neutral)
until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Measure the amount of movement of the actuator
rod until ths cable pulls on the accelerator lever
(engine speed starts to increase). Free play should
be 11 t 1.0 mm (0.43 i 0.04 in).
LOCKNUT FREE PLAY: 11 t 1.0 mm
10.43 r 0.04 in)
lf free play is not within specs, loosen the locknut,
and turn the adjusting nut as requirsd,
NOTE: lf necessary, check the throttl€ cable frso
play (s€e section 11), then recheck the actuator rod
free play.
Retighten the locknut, and recheck the free play.

End Play
1. Measure the connecting rod end play with a feeler
gauge.
Connecting Rod End Play:
Stsndard (Nsw): 0.15 - 0.30 mm
{0.006 - 0.012 in)
Service Limit: 0./t0 mm 10.016 in)
2. lf the connecting rod end play is out-of-tolerance,
install a new connecting rod.
lf it is still out-of-tolerance, replace the crankshaft
{see pages 7-9 and 7-20).
7-6
3. Push the crankshaft firmly away from the dial indi-
cator, and zero the dial against the end of the
crankshaft. Then pull the crankshaft firmly back
toward the indicator; the dial reading should not
exceed the service limit.
Crankshaft End Play:
Stand.rd (New): 0.10 - 0,35 mm(0.004 - 0.014 inl
Service Limit: 0.45 mm (0.018 inl
4. lf end play is excessive, inspect the thrust washers
and thrust surface on the crankshaft. Reolace oans as
necessary. Thrust washer thickness is fixed and
must not be changed either by grinding or shim-
mrng.

obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller
bearings. replace the crankshaft and start over.

lf you can feel a ridge of metal or hard carbon
around the top of each cvlinder, remove it with a

To avoid mixup on reassembly, mark each piston/
connecting rod assembly with its cylinder number.
NOTE: The existing number on the connecting rod
does not indicate its position in the engine, it indi-
cates the rod bore size.

or a suitable brush.
2. Check the keyway and threads.

sure the crank is not bent. The difference between
measurements on each journal must not be more
than the service limit.
