On Board Diagn osis LogicINFOID:0000000005149211
When a misfire occurs, engine speed will fluctuate. If the engine speed fluctuates enough to cause the crank-
shaft position (CKP) sensor (POS) signal to vary , ECM can determine that a misfire is occurring.
The misfire detection logic consists of the following two conditions.
1. One Trip Detection Logic (Three Way Catalyst Damage) On the 1st trip, when a misfire condition occurs that can damage the three way catalyst (TWC) due to
overheating, the MIL will blink.
When a misfire condition occurs, the ECM monitors the CKP sensor signal every 200 engine revolutions
for a change.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not damage the TWC, the MIL will turn off.
If another misfire condition occurs that can dam age the TWC on a second trip, the MIL will blink.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not damage the TWC, the MIL will remain on.
If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC, the MIL will begin to blink again.
2. Two Trip Detection Logic (Exhaust quality deterioration) For misfire conditions that will not damage the TWC (but will affect vehicle emissions), the MIL will only
light when the misfire is detected on a second trip. Du ring this condition, the ECM monitors the CKP sen-
sor signal every 1,000 engine revolutions.
A misfire malfunction can be detected on any one cylinder or on multiple cylinders.
DTC Confirmation ProcedureINFOID:0000000005149212
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle in safe manner according to traffic conditions and obey all traffic laws when driv-
ing.
1. If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following procedure
before conducting the next step.
a. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
b. Turn ignition switch ON.

Disassembly and AssemblyINFOID:0000000005148119
DISASSEMBLY
1. Set the shock absorber in a vise, then loosen (without removing)
the piston rod lock nut as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not remove piston rod lock nut at this time.
2. Compress the spring using tool until the shock absorber mount- ing insulator can be turned by hand.
WARNING:
Make sure that the pawls of the two tools are firmly hooked
on the spring. The spring compressors must be tightened
alternately and evenly so as not to tilt the spring.
3. Remove the piston rod lock nut. • Discard the piston rod lock nut, use a new nut for assembly.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Shock Absorber Assembly
• Check for smooth operation through a full stroke, both compression and extension.
• Check for oil leakage on welded or gland packing portions.
• Check piston rod for cracks, deformation or other damage and replace if necessary.
Mounting Insulator and Rubber Parts
Check cemented rubber-to-metal portion for separation or cracks. Check rubber parts for deterioration and
replace if necessary.
Coil Spring
• Check for cracks, deformation or other damage and replace if necessary.
• Check the free spring height.

system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and TM sections.
Three Way CatalystINFOID:0000000005149593
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.
• Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
• When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when nec-
essary.
• Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to the
catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Precaution for Fuel (Unlead ed Premium Gasoline Required)INFOID:0000000005149594
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research
octane number 96).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87
AKI number (Research octane number 91) can be us ed, but only under the following precautions:
• have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium gas- oline as soon as possible.
• avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.
However, for maximum vehicle performance, the u se of unleaded premium gasoline is recommended.
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Usin g leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Using a fuel
other than that specified could adversely affect the emission cont rol devices and systems, and could
also affect the warranty coverage validity.
Multiport Fuel Inje ction System or Engine Control SystemINFOID:0000000005149595
• Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for the
multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
• Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to injec- tors, be sure to release fuel pressure.
• Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air flow
sensor.
HosesINFOID:0000000005149596
HOSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
• To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose withtapered tool or screwdriver.

REMOVAL
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly using power tool. Refer to WT-49, "Rotation".
2. Use CONSULT-III “EXHAUST SOLENOID ” active test to release the air pressure from the rear load level-
ing air suspension system.
3. Remove the four clips and remove the rear fender protector, front.
4. Disconnect the rear load leveling air suspension hose from the shock absorber.
• To disconnect the hose, push in on the lock ring using a suit-
able tool and pull the air hose out.
5. Remove the shock absorber upper and lower end bolts using power tool.
6. Remove the shock absorber. CAUTION:
Do not damage the rubber boot on the shock absorber.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Tighten the shock absorber bolts to specification. Refer to RSU-9, "
Component".
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Check the shock absorber for any air leaks or damage to the rubber boot.
• Check the shock absorber for smooth operation through a full stroke, both compression and extension.
• Check piston rod for cracks, deformation or other damage and replace if necessary.
DisposalINFOID:0000000005369243
1. Set shock absorber horizontally with the piston rod fully extended.
