Checking Power Steering Fluid and LineINFOID:0000000001606194
CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
• Check the power steering fluid level with the engine off.
• Check fluid level on reservoir. Use “HOT” range at fluid tempera- tures of 50 ° to 80° C (122° to 176° F). Use “COLD” range at fluid
temperatures of 0 ° to 30° C (32° to 86° F).
CAUTION:
• Do not overfill.
• Refer to MA-12, "
Fluids and Lubricants" .
CHECKING LINES
• Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose
connections, chafing, and deterioration.
Checking Axle and Suspension PartsINFOID:0000000001606195
FRONT AND REAR AXLE AND SUSPENSION PARTS
Check front and rear axle and suspension parts for excessive play, cracks, wear or other damage.
• Shake each wheel to check for excessive play.
• Rotate each wheel to check for abnormal noise.

COMBINATION METER
• Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge, engine coolant temperature gauge, engine oil pres-
sure gauge, voltage gauge and information display are controlled by the unified meter control unit, which is
built into the combination meter.
• Warning and indicator lamps are controlled by the unified meter control unit and by components connected directly to the combination meter.
• Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter.* *The record of the odometer is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter is
erased when the battery cable is disconnected.
• Odo/trip meter segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.
• Meter/gauge can be checked in diagnosis mode.

CAUTION:
Even when there is no malfunction on CAN communication system, malfunction may be
misinterpreted when battery has low voltage (when maintaining 7 - 8 V for about 2 sec-
onds) or 10A fuse [No. 19, located in
the fuse block (J/B)] is disconnected. MWI-28

AUTO ACTIVE TEST
Description
In auto active test mode, the IPDM
E/R sends a drive signal to the follo wing systems to check their operation.
• Oil pressure low/coolant pressure high warning indicator
• Oil pressure gauge
• Rear window defogger
• Front wipers
• Tail, license and parking lamps
• Front fog lamps
• Headlamps (Hi, Lo)
• A/C compressor (magnetic clutch)
• Cooling fan
Operation Procedure
1. Close the hood and front door RH, and lift the wiper a rms from the windshield (to prevent windshield dam-
age due to wiper operation).
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield before hand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON and, within 20 seconds, press the front door switch LH 10 times. Then turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. Af ter that the horn sounds once and the auto active test
starts.
5. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway through test, turn ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
• If auto active test mode cannot be actuated, check door switch system. Refer to DLK-67, "
Descrip-
tion".
• Do not start the engine.
Inspection in Auto Active Test Mode
When auto active test mode is actuated, the following 7 steps are repeated 3 times.
