Stator (Drive End Frame)
1. INSPECT STATOR FOR OPEN CIRCUITUsing an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between
the coil leads.
If there is no continuity, replace the drive end frame assem-
bly.
2. INSPECT STATOR FOR GROUND Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be-
tween the coil lead and drive end frame.
If there is continuity, replace the drive end frame assembly.
Brushes
INSPECT EXPOSED BRUSH LENGTHUsing a vernier caliper, measure the exposed brush length.
Standard exposed length: 10.5 mm (0.413 in.)
Minimum exposed length: 1.5 mm (0.059 in.)
If the exposed length is less than minimum, replace the brush
holder.
Rectifiers (Rectifier Holder)
1. INSPECT POSITIVE RECTIFIER(a) Using an ohmmeter, connect one tester probe to thepositive (+) terminal and the other to each rectifier
terminal.
(b) Reverse the polarity of the tester and repeat (a).
(c) Check that one shows continuity and the other shows no
continuity.
If continuity is not as specified, replace the rectifier holder.
2. INSPECT NEGATIVE RECTIFIER (a) Using an ohmmeter, connect one tester probe to each
negative (±) terminal and the other to each rectifier
terminal.
(b) Reverse the polarity of the tester probes and repeat (a).
(c) Check that one shows continuity and the other shows no
continuity.
If continuity is not as specified, replace the rectifier holder.

CHECK AND REPLACEMENT OF
ENGINE COOLANT
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR TANK
The coolant level should be between the ºLOWº and ºFULLº
lines at low temperature.
If low, check for leaks and add coolant up to the ºFULLº line.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY There should be no excessive deposits of rust or scales
around the radiator cap or radiator filler hole, and the coolant
should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the coolant
3. REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT (a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not
remove it while the engine and radiator are still hot, as
fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) Drain the coolant from the radiator drain cock andengine drain plug.
(c) Close the drain cock and plug.
Torque (Engine drain plug):
29 NVm (300 kgf Vcm, 22 ft Vlbf)
(d) Fill the system with coolant.
w Use a good brand of ethylene±glycol base coolant,
mixed according to the manufacturer's direction.
w Using coolant which includes more than 50 %
ethylene±glycol (but not more than 70%) is
recommended.
NOTICE:
w Do not use alcohol type coolant.
w The coolant should be mixed with demineralized water or
distilled water.
Coolant capacity (w/ Heater): M/T 8.5 liters (9.0 US qts, 7.5 Imp. qts)
A/T 8.4 liters (8.9 US qts, 7.4 Imp. qts)
(e) Install the radiator cap.
(f) Start the engine and check for leaks.
(g) Recheck the coolant level and refill as necessary.

CHECK AND REPLACEMENT OF
ENGINE COOLANT
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVE TANKThe coolant level should be above the ºCOLD LEVELº at nor-
mal temperature (20 5C (68 5F)).
If low, check for leaks and add coolant up to the ºCOLD LEV-
ELº.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scales
around the radiator cap or reservoir tank filler hole, and the
coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, clean the coolant passages and replace
the coolant.
3. REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT (a) Remove the radiator cap from the reservoir tank.
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not
remove the cap while the engine and radiator are still hot,
as fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) Remove the filler plug from the water inlet housing.
(c) Loosen the three drain plugs on the radiator and
cylinder block, drain the coolant from the radiator and
engine.
(d) Clean the coolant passages.
(e) Close the three drain plugs.

BLEEDING OF HYDRAULIC COOLING
SYSTEM
1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR TANKIf low, add fluid.
Fluid: ATF DEXRON II
HINT: Check that fluid level is within the ºHOTº level on reser-
voir tank. If the fluid is cold, check that it is within the ºCOLDº\
level on the tank.
2. BLEED COOLING SYSTEM (a) Using SST, connect terminals OP1 and E1 of the check(ºDIAGNOSISº) connector.
SST 09843±18020
HINT: When terminals OP1 and E1 are connected, the circuit
of the water temp. sensor is grounded, fixing the fan speed
at approx. 1,100 rpm. (Fail±safe operation occurs.)
(b) Start the engine without depressing the accelerator pedal.
(c) Leave the engine running for several seconds.
(d) Check that there is no foaming and emulsification of the fluid in the reservoir tank.
INSPECTION OF OIL PRESSURE
1. CONNECT PRESSURE GAUGE
(a) Remove the union bolt and gasket, and disconnect thepressure hose from the hydraulic motor.
(b) Connect the gauge side of a pressure gauge to pressure
hose, and the valve side to the hydraulic motor.

2. INSPECT OIL PRESSUREHINT: Before inspecting the oil pressure, first check that the
A/C is off.
(a) Using SST, connect terminals OP1 and E1 of the check(ºDIAGNOSISº) connector.
SST 09843±18020
HINT: When terminals OP1 and E1 are connected, the circuit
of the water temp. sensor is grounded, fixing the fan speed
at approx. 1,100 rpm. (Fail±safe operation occurs.)
(b) Bleed the hydraulic cooling system
(See page CO±24)
(c) Keep the engine speed at 2,000 rpm until the fluid temperature reaches the specified temperature.
Fluid temp.: 70±90 5C (158±195 5F)
(d) Check the fluid level is correct.
(e) Measure the oil pressure at idling.
Oil pressure: 1,177±2,452 kPa
(12±25 kgf/cm, 171±356 psi)
(f) Remove the SST from the check connector.
SST 09843±18020

INSPECTION OF HYDRAULIC PUMP
1. CLEAN DISASSEMBLED PARTS Using a cleaner and compressed air, clean the disassembled
parts.
CAUTION: Thoroughly clean the oil passages of the rear
housing. Oil passage A includes a filter which should be
cleaned carefully.
2. INSPECT SPOOL VALVE (a) Coat the spool valve with PS fluid, and check that it falls
smoothly into the spool sleeve by its own weight.
(b) Check the spool valve for leakage. Close one of the holes and apply compressed air
392±490 kPa (4±5 kgf/cm2, 57±71 psi) into the opposite
side, check that air does not come out of the end hole.
If it doesn't, replace the spool valve and sleeve as a set.
3. INSPECT SPOOL COMPRESSION SPRING Using a vernier calipers, measure the free length of the com-
pression spring.
Free length: 45.8 mm (1.803 in.)
If the free length is not as specified, replace the compression
spring.
