1. Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips of the new front oil seal.
Then drive the new front oil seal in evenly until it becomes flush
with the gear carrier using t he drift (A) [SST: ST15310000 (J-
25640-B)].
CAUTION:
 Never reuse front oil seal.
 Never incline the new front oil seal when installing.
2. Align the matching mark (B) of drive pinion with the matching mark (A) of companion flange (1), and then install the compan-
ion flange.
3. Apply anti-corrosion oil to the thread and seat of new drive pin- ion lock nut, and temporarily tighten drive pinion lock nut to drive
pinion, using a flange wrench (commercial service tool).
CAUTION:
Never reuse drive pinion lock nut.
4. Tighten drive pinion lock nut within the limits of specified torque so as to keep the pinion bearing preload within a standard val-
ues, using the preload gauge (A) [SST: ST3127S000 (J-25765-
A)].
CAUTION:
 Adjust to the lower limit of the drive pinion lock nut tight-
ening torque first.
 If the preload torque exceeds the specified value, replace
collapsible spacer and tighte n it again to adjust. Never
loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the preload torque.
5. Fit a test indicator to the inner side of companion flange (socket diameter).
6. Rotate companion flange to check for runout.
 If the runout value is outside the runout limit, follow the proce-dure below to adjust.
- Check for runout while changing the phase between compan-
ion flange and drive pinion by 90 ° step, and search for the
position where the runout is the minimum.

DRIVE PINION
10. Apply anti-corrosion oil to the thread and seat of drive pinion
lock nut, and temporarily tighten drive pinion lock nut to drive
pinion, using flange wrench (c ommercial service tool).
CAUTION:
Never reuse drive pinion lock nut.
11. Adjust to the drive pinion lock nut tightening torque and pinion bearing preload torque, using preload gauge [SST: ST3127S000
(J-25765-A)].
CAUTION:
 Adjust to the lower limit of the drive pinion lock nut tight-
ening torque first.
 If the preload torque exceeds the specified value, replace
collapsible spacer and tighte n it again to adjust. Never
loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the preload torque.
 After adjustment, rotate dri ve pinion back and forth 2 to 3
times to check for unusual no ise, rotation malfunction,
and other malfunctions.
12. Install differential case assembly. Refer to DLN-206, "
Assem-
bly".
CAUTION:
Never install rear cover at this timing.
13. Check and adjust drive gear runout, tooth contact, drive gear to drive pinion backlash, and companion flange runout. Refer to DLN-210, "
Adjustment" and DLN-220, "Adjustment".
Recheck above items. Readjust the above description, if necessary.
14. Check total preload torque. Refer to DLN-210, "
Adjustment".
15. Install rear cover. Refer to DLN-206, "
Assembly".
AdjustmentINFOID:0000000006222428
COMPANION FLANGE RUNOUT
1. Fit a test indicator to the inner side of the companion flange
(socket diameter).
2. Rotate companion flange to check for runout.
3. If the runout value is outside t he runout limit, follow the proce-
dure below to adjust.
a. Check for runout while changing the phase between companion flange and drive pinion by 90 ° step, and search for the position
where the runout is the minimum.
b. If the runout value is still outside of the limit after the phase has been changed, possible cause will be an
assembly malfunction of drive pinion and pinion bearing and malfunction of pinion bearing. Check for
these items and repair if necessary.
c. If the runout value is still outside of the limit after the check and repair, replace companion flange.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
Diagnosis DescriptionINFOID:0000000006217720
This system is an on board diagnostic system that re
cords exhaust emission-related diagnostic information
and detects a sensors/actuator-related malfunction. A ma lfunction is indicated by the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) and stored in ECU memory as a DTC. The diagnostic information can be obtained with the diag-
nostic tool (GST: Generic Scan Tool).
GST (Generic Scan Tool)INFOID:0000000006217721
When GST is connected with a data link connector equipped on the vehicle side, it will communicate with the
control unit equipped in the vehicle and then enable va rious kinds of diagnostic tests. Refer to GI-48, "
Descrip-
tion".
NOTE:
Service $0A is not applied for r egions where it is not mandated.

Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000006217739
1.INSPECTION START
1. Check service records for any recent repairs that ma y indicate a related malfunction, or a current need for
scheduled maintenance.
2. Open engine hood and check the following:
- Harness connectors for improper connections
- Wiring harness for improper connections, pinches and cut
- Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks and improper connections
- Hoses and ducts for leakage
- Air cleaner clogging
- Gasket
3. Check that electrical or mechanical loads are not applied.
- Headlamp switch is OFF.
- Air conditioner switch is OFF.
- Rear window defogger switch is OFF.
- Steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position, etc.
4. Start engine and warm it up until engine coolant temperature indicator points to the middle of gauge.
Check that engine stays below 1,000 rpm.
5. Run engine at approximately 2,000 rpm for approximately 2 min- utes under no load.
6. Check that no DTC is displayed with CONSULT-III or GST.
Are any DTCs detected?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2.REPAIR OR REPLACE
Repair or replace components as necessary according to corresponding Diagnosis Procedure.
>> GO TO 3
3.CHECK IDLE SPEED
1. Run engine at approximately 2,000 rpm for approximately 2 minutes under no load.

EVAP LEAK CHECK
EVAP LEAK CHECK
InspectionINFOID:0000000006267340
CAUTION:
 Do not use compressed air or a high pressure pump.
 Do not exceed 4.12 kPa (0.042 kg/cm
2, 0.6 psi) of pressure in EVAP system.
NOTE:
 Do not start engine.
 Improper installation of EVAP service port adapter (com mercial service tool) to the EVAP service port may
cause a leak.
WITH CONSULT-III
1. To locate the EVAP leak, install EVAP service port adapter (com- mercial service tool) and pressure pump to EVAP service port.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Select the “EVAP SYSTEM CLOSE” of “WORK SUPPORT” mode with CONSULT-III.
4. Touch “START”. A bar graph (Pressure indicating display) will appear on the screen.
5. Apply positive pressure to the EVAP system until the pressure indicator reaches the middle of the bar graph.
6. Remove EVAP service port adapter (commercial service tool) and hose with pressure pump.
7. Locate the leak using a leak detector (commercial service tool). Refer to EC-45, "
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM : System
Diagram".
WITHOUT CONSULT-III
1. To locate the EVAP leak, install EVAP service port adapter (com-
mercial service tool) and pressure pump to EVAP service port.
2. Apply battery voltage between the terminals of EVAP canister vent control valve to ma ke a closed EVAP system.
3. To locate the leak, deliver positive pressure to the EVAP system until pressure gauge points reach 1.38 to 2.76 kPa (0.014 to
0.028 kg/cm
2, 0.2 to 0.4 psi).
4. Remove EVAP service port adapter (commercial service tool) and hose with pressure pump.
