Description
 In general, customers have their own criteria for a pr oblem. Therefore, it is important to understand the
symptom and status well enough by asking the customer about his/her concerns carefully. To systemize all
the information for the diagnosis, prepare the in terview sheet referring to the interview points.
 In some cases, multiple conditions that appear simultaneously may cause a DTC to be detected.

Introduction of Periodic MaintenanceINFOID:0000000006287729
Two different maintenance schedules are provided, and should be used, depending upon the conditions in
which the vehicle is mainly operated. After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, continue the periodic
maintenance at the same mileage/time intervals.
Schedule 1INFOID:0000000006287730

Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspec t. Correct or replace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only
Schedule 1Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if the driving habits frequently include
one or more of the following driving conditions:
 Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
 Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures
remaining below freezing.
 Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.
 Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police, taxi
or door-to-door delivery use.
 Driving in dusty conditions.
 Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.
