WHEEL AND TIRE SYSTEM3E±7
5. Tire cord breakage.
6. High tire temperatures.
7. Reduced handling.
8. Reduced fuel economy.
Unequal pressure on same axle can cause:
1. Uneven braking.
2. Steering lead.
3. Reduced handling.
4. Swerve on acceleration.
Radial Tire Waddle
480R200006Waddle is side-to-side movement at the front and/or rear
of the car. It can be caused by the steel belt not being
straight within the tire, or by excessive lateral runout of the
tire or wheel. It is most noticeable at low speed, about 8
to 48 km/h (5 to 30 mph). It may also cause rough ride at
80 to 113 km/h (50 to 70 mph).
The car can be road tested to see which end of the car has
the faulty tire. If the tire causing the waddle is on the rear,
the rear end of the car will ªwaddleº. From the driver's
seat, it feels as if someone is pushing on the side of the
car.
If the faulty tire is on the front, the waddle is more easily
seen. The front sheet metal appears to be moving back
and forth. It feels as if the driver's seat is the pivot point
in the car.
Another more time-consuming method of determining the
faulty tire is substituting tire and wheel assemblies that
are known to be good. Follow these steps:
1. Drive the car to determine if the waddle is coming
from the front or rear.
2. Install tire and wheel assemblies known to be good
(from a similar car) in place of those on the end of the
car which is waddling. If the waddle cannot be
isolated to front or rear, start with the rear tires.
3. Road test again. If improvement is noted, install the
original tire and wheel assemblies one at a time until
the faulty tire is found. If no improvement is noted,
install tires known to be good in place of all four. Then,
install the originals one at a time until the faulty tire is
found.
Radial Tire Lead/Pull
ªLead/Pullº is vehicle deviation from a straight path, on a
level road with no pressure on the steering wheel.
Lead is usually caused by:
1. Poorly manufactured radial tires.
2. Uneven brake adjustment.
3. Wheel alignment.
The way in which a tire is built can produce lead in a car.
An example of this is placement of the belt. Off-center
belts on radial tires can cause the tire to develop a side
force while rolling straight down the road and the tire will
tend to roll like a cone.
The ªRadial Tire Lead/Pull Correctionº chart should be
used to make sure that front wheel alignment is not mis-
taken for tire lead.
Rear tires will not cause lead/pull.

DIFFERENTIAL (REAR)4A2±3
Diagnosis
Many noises that seem to come from the rear axle
actually originate from other sources such as tires, road
surface, wheel bearings, engine, transmission, muffler, or
body drumming. Investigate to find the source of the
noise before disassembling the rear axle. Rear axles, like
any other mechanical device, are not absolutely quiet but
should be considered quiet unless some abnormal noise
is present.
To make a systematic check for axle noise, observe the
following:
1. Select a level asphalt road to reduce tire noise and
body drumming.
2. Check rear axle lubricant level to assure correct level,
and then drive the vehicle far enough to thoroughly
warm up the rear axle lubricant.
3. Note the speed at which noise occurs. Stop the
vehicle and put the transmission in neutral. Run the
engine speed slowly up and down to determine if the
noise is caused by exhaust, muffler noise, or other
engine conditions.
4. Tire noise changes with different road surfaces; axle
noises do not. Temporarily inflate all tires to 344 kPa
(50 psi) (for test purposes only). This will change
noise caused by tires but will not affect noise caused
by the rear axle.
Rear axle nose usually stops when coasting at
speeds under 48 km/h (30 mph); however, tire noise
continues with a lower tone. Rear axle noise usually
changes when comparing pull and coast, but tire
noise stays about the same.
Distinguish between tire noise and rear axle noise by
noting if the noise changes with various speeds or
sudden acceleration and deceleration. Exhaust and
axle noise vary under these conditions, while tire
noise remains constant and is more pronounced at
speeds of 32 to 48 km/h (20 to 30 mph). Further check
for tire noise by driving the vehicle over smooth
pavements or dirt roads (not gravel) with the tires at
normal pressure. If the noise is caused by tires, it will
change noticeably with changes in road surface.
5. Loose or rough front wheel bearings will cause noise
which may be confused with rear axle noise; however,
front wheel bearing noise does not change when
comparing drive and coast. Light application of the
brake while holding vehicle speed steady will often
cause wheel bearing noise to diminish. Front wheel
bearings may be checked for noise by jacking up the
wheels and spinning them or by shaking the wheels to
determine if bearings are loose.
6. Rear suspension rubber bushings and spring
insulators dampen out rear axle noise when correctly
installed. Check to see that there is no link or rod
loosened or metal±to±metal contact.7. Make sure that there is no metal±to±metal contact
between the floor and the frame.
After the noise has been determined to be in the axle, the
type of axle noise should be determined, in order to make
any necessary repairs.
Gear Noise
Gear noise (whine) is audible from 32 to 89 km/h (20 to 55
mph) under four driving conditions.
1. In drive under acceleration or heavy pull.
2. Driving under load or under constant speed.
3. When using enough throttle to keep the vehicle from
driving the engine while the vehicle slows down
gradually (engine still pulls slightly).
4. When coasting with the vehicle in gear and the throttle
closed. The gear noise is usually more noticeable
between 48 and 64 km/h (30 and 40 mph) and 80 and
89 km/h (50 and 55 mph).
Bearing Noise
Bad bearings generally produce a rough growl or grating
sound, rather than the whine typical of gear noise.
Bearing noise frequently ªwow±wowsº at bearing rpm,
indicating a bad pinion or rear axle side bearing. This
noise can be confused with rear wheel bearing noise.
Rear Wheel Bearing Noise
Rear wheel bearing noise continues to be heard while
coasting at low speed with transmission in the neutral.
Noise may diminish by gentle braking. Jack up the rear
wheels, spin them by hand and listen for noise at the
hubs. Replace any faulty wheel bearings.
Knock At Low Speeds
Low speed knock can be caused by worn universal joints
or a side gear hub counter bore in the cage that is worn
oversize. Inspect and replace universal joints or cage and
side gears as required.
Backlash Clunk
Excessive clunk on acceleration and deceleration can be
caused by a worn rear axle pinion shaft, a worn cage,
excessive clearance between the axle and the side gear
splines, excessive clearance between the side gear hub
and the counterbore in the cage, worn pinion and side
gear teeth, worn thrust washers, or excessive drive pinion
and ring gear backlash. Remove worn parts and replace
as required. Select close±fitting parts when possible.
Adjust pinion and ring gear backlash.

4B2±3
DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (TOD)
TOD Control
The TOD position usually drives the rear wheels, and
transmits the torque to the front wheels with the help of
electronically controlled torque split mechanism
according to running conditions encountered. The driving
force is directly transmitted to the rear wheels. This force
is split by the transfer and delivered to the front wheels.
The magnitude of the torque transmitted to the front
wheels is controlled by changing the pressing force of the
multi plate disk clutch built in the transfer unit. The
pressing force of the clutch is controlled by changing the
duty ratio to the electromagnetic coil mounted to the rear
of the clutch. When the clutch is completely disengaged,
the rear wheels are driven. When the clutch is completely
engaged, a rigid four wheel drive mode is obtained. The
torque split status is controlled continuously between the
rear wheel and four wheel drive modes. This system
includes front and rear speed sensors, and receives
throttle position sensor and engine speed information
from the PCM, ABS control unit signal, brake switch
signal, and shift motor position information.
The control unit receives signals sent from these sensors
and changes the pressing force of the multi-plate disk
clutch to determine the torque distribution on the front and
rear wheels. Therefore, when the slip of the rear wheels is
increased against the current torque level in the normal
rear wheel drive mode, the control unit detects the slip
condition, determines the optimum torque based on the
feedback control logic, and increases the torque to the
front wheels.
The control unit uses the signal from the throttle position
sensor to predict the future vehicle condition and the
intention of the driver with respect to acceleration and
deceleration, and determines the initial torque distribution
using these data and the information from the speed
sensors.
In case of small circle turning in the parking lot, for
example, the control unit minimizes the clutch pressing
force to restrict a braking phenomenon. When the ABS
becomes active, the control unit optimizes the clutch
pressing force to ensure stable braking.
TOD Indicator Control
The TOD indicator on the instrument panel informs the
driver of the current working status of the transfer unit.
The information is the drive mode (2H, TOD, 4L,
transition). The indicator can display occasional errors
and corresponding error codes.

When the TOD switch is changed to the 4L (or TOD)
position from the TOD (or 4L) position, the TOD control
unit drives the high±low shift motor according to the
signal. The transfer is shifted to low range from high range
(or to high range from low range) by the shift motor.
The high-low shift motor can run, only when the operation
meets the following conditions to prevent an unexpected
shift between high and low range by a operation error.
1. The car stops. (less than 2 km/h or 1.2 mph and less
than 1500 rpm.)2. The AT selector position is neutral.
3. The brake is applied. (brake switch is on.)
The shift motor has a built-in encoder which watches
motor rotation position. The control unit controls the
rotation of the shift motor based on the position code
detected by the encoder.
The encoder position plate turns together with the shift
shaft and switches on or off the current from the 4 (four)
fixed contact points on the case, then the control unit
recognizes the rotation position of the shift motor.

BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM
General Description
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) works on all four
wheels. A combination of wheel speed sensor and
Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) can determine
when a wheel is about to stop turning and adjust brake
pressure to maintain best braking.
This system helps the driver maintain greater control of
the vehicle under heavy braking conditions.
NOTE: The Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU)
comprises the Hydraulic Unit (H/U) and the coil Integrated
Module.

5A±10BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM
System Components
Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU), three Wheel
Speed Sensors, Warning Light, and G-sensor.
Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU)
The EHCU consists of ABS control circuits, fault detector,
and a fail-safe. The signal received from each sensor
activates the hydraulic unit accordingly and cancels the
ABS to return to normal braking if a malfunction occurs in
the ABS system.
The EHCU has a self-diagnosing function which can
indicate faulty circuits during diagnosis.
The EHCU is mounted on the engine compartment rear
right side. It consists of a Motor, Plunger Pump, Solenoid
Valves.
Solenoid Valves: Reduces or holds the caliper fluid
pressure for each front disc brake or both rear disc brakes
according to the signal sent from the EHCU.
Reservoir: Temporarily holds the brake fluid that returns
from the front and rear disc brake caliper so that pressure
of front disc brake caliper can be reduced smoothly.
Plunger Pump: Feeds the brake fluid held in the reservoir
to the master cylinder.
Motor: Drives the pump according to the signal from
EHCU.
Check Valve: Controls the brake fluid flow.
ABS Warning Light
821R200015Vehicles equipped with the Anti-lock Brake System have
an amber ªABSº warning light in the instrument panel.
The ªABSº warning light will illuminate if a malfunction in
the Anti-lock Brake System is detected by the Electronic
Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU).In case of an electronic
malfunction, the EHCU will turn ªONº the ªABSº warning
light and disable the Anti-lock braking function.
The ªABSº light will turn ªONº for approximately three
seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the ªONº
position.If the ªABSº light stays ªONº after the ignition switch is
turned to the ªONº position, or comes ªONº and stays
ªONº while driving, the Anti-lock Brake System should be
inspected for a malfunction according to the diagnosis
procedure.
Wheel Speed Sensor
It consists of a sensor and a rotor. The sensor is attached
to the knuckle on the front wheels and to the rear axle
case on the rear differential.
The front sensor rotor is attached to the each brake rotor
by bolts.
The rear rotor is press-fit in the differential case.
The magnetic flux generated from electrodes magnetized
by a magnet in the sensor varies due to rotation of the
rotor, and the electromagnetic induction generates
alternating voltage in the coil. This voltage draws a ªsine
curveº with the frequency proportional to rotor speed and
it allows detection of wheel speed.
G-Sensor
The G-sensor installed inside the EHCU detects the
vehicle deceleration speed and sends a signal to the
EHCU. In 4WD operation, all four wheels may be
decelerated in almost the same phase, since all wheels
are connected mechanically.
This tendency is noticeable particularly on roads with low
friction coefficient, and the ABS control is adversely
affected.
The G-sensor judges whether the friction coefficient of
road surface is low or high, and changes the EHCU's
operating system to ensure ABS control.
Normal and Anti-lock Braking
Under normal driving conditions, the Anti-lock Brake
System functions the same as a standard power assisted
brake system. However, with the detection of wheel
lock-up, a slight bump or kick-back will be felt in the brake
pedal. This pedal ªbumpº will be followed by a series of
short pedal pulsations which occurs in rapid succession.
The brake pedal pulsation will continue until there is no
longer a need for the anti-lock function or until the vehicle
is stopped. A slight ticking or popping noise may be heard
during brake applications when the Anti-lock features is
being used.
When the Anti-lock feature is being used, the brake pedal
may rise even as the brakes are being applied. This is
also normal. Maintaining a constant force on the pedal
will provide the shortest stopping distance.
Brake Pedal Travel
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-lock Brake System may
be stopped by applying normal force to the brake pedal.
Although there is no need to push the pedal beyond the
point where it stops or holds the vehicle, by applying more
force the pedal will continue to travel toward the floor.
This extra brake pedal travel is normal.

ENGINE MECHANICAL (6VE1 3.5L)
General Description
Engine Cleanliness And Care
An automobile engine is a combination of many
machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces with
tolerances that are measured in the thousandths of a
millimeter (ten thousandths of an inch). Accordingly,
when any internal engine parts are serviced, care and
cleanliness are important. Throughout this section, it
should be understood that proper cleaning and protection
of machined surfaces and friction areas is part of the
repair procedure. This is considered standard shop
practice even if not specifically stated.
A liberal coating of engine oil should be applied to all
friction areas during assembly to protect and lubricate
the surfaces on initial operation.
Whenever valve train components, pistons, piston
rings, connecting rods, rod bearings, and crankshaft
journal bearings are removed for service, they should
be retained in order.
At the time of installation, they should be installed in
the same locations and with the same mating
surfaces as when removed.
Battery cables should be disconnected before any
major work is performed on the engine. Failure to
disconnect cables may result in damage to wire
harness or other electrical parts.
The six cylinders of this engine are identified by
numbers; Right side cylinders 1, 3 and 5, Left side
cylinders 2, 4 and 6, as counted from crankshaft
pulley side to flywheel side.
General Information on Engine Service
The following information on engine service should be
noted carefully, as it is important in preventing damage
and contributing to reliable engine performance.
When raising or supporting the engine for any reason,
do not use a jack under the oil pan. Due to the small
clearance between the oil pan and the oil pump
strainer, jacking against the oil pan may cause
damage to the oil pick±up unit.
The 12±volt electrical system is capable of damaging
circuits. When performing any work where electrical
terminals could possibly be grounded, the ground
cable of the battery should be disconnected at the
battery.
Any time the intake air duct or air cleaner is removed,
the intake opening should be covered. This will
protect against accidental entrance of foreign
material into the cylinder which could cause extensive
damage when the engine is started.
Cylinder Block
The cylinder block is made of aluminum die±cast casting
for 75V±type six cylinders. It has a rear plate integrated
structure and employs a deep skirt. The cylinder liner is
cast and the liner inner diameter and crankshaft journal
diameter are classified into grades. The crankshaft is
supported by four bearings of which width is different
between No.2, No.3 and No.1, No.4; the width of No.3
bearing on the body side is different in order to support the
thrust bearing. The bearing cap is made of nodular cast
iron and each bearing cap uses four bolts and two side
bolts.
Cylinder Head
The cylinder head, made of aluminum alloy casting
employs a pent±roof type combustion chamber with a
spark plug in the center. The intake and exhaust valves
are placed in V±type design. The ports are cross±flow
type.
Valve Train
Intake and exhaust camshaft on both banks are driven
with a camshaft drive gear by the timing belt. The valves
are operated by the camshaft and the valve clearance is
adjusted to select suitable thickness shim.
Intake Manifold
The intake manifold system is composed of the aluminum
cast common chamber and intake manifold attached with
six fuel injectors.
Exhaust Manifold
The exhaust manifold is made of nodular cast iron.
Pistons and Connecting Rods
Aluminum pistons are used after selecting the grade that
meets the cylinder bore diameter. Each piston has two
compression rings and one oil ring. The piston pin made
of chromium steel is offset 1mm toward the thrust side,
and the thrust pressure of piston to the cylinder wall varies
gradually as the piston travels. The connecting rods are
made of forged steel. The connecting rod bearings are
graded for correct size selection.
Crankshaft and Bearings
The crankshaft is made of Ductile cast±iron. Pins and
journals are graded for correct size selection for their
bearing.
