Turbine Wheel Inspection
1. Remove the warm up oxidation catalytic converter between the flexible pipe and the turbocharger. (See F2–57
EXHAUST SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
2. Visually inspect the turbine wheel from view B and verify that all fins are free from damage, cracks or bends.
•If there are damaged fins, cracks or bends, replace the turbocharger.
Note
•To make the inspection easier, set a small
mirror as shown in the figure and use a
penlight.
•If the turbine wheel is interfering with the
turbine housing, it is likely that the fin edges
are cracked, damaged, or bent.
•If the turbine wheel is damaged, check the
following before replacing the turbocharger
to avoid reoccurrence of the problem.
—Foreign material in intake air/exhaust
system.
—Oil pipe clogging.

21 ENGINE NOISE
DESCRIPTION•Engine noise under hood.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Engine internal damage
•Timing belt displacement
•Fuel injector malfunction
•Loose attaching bolts or worn parts
•Improper drive belt tension
•Air leakage from intake-air system
•Incorrect injection timing
•Erratic signal from CKP sensor
•Erratic signal from CMP sensor
•Fuel pressure sensor or related circuit malfunction
•Boost sensor or related circuit malfunction
•Accelerator position sensor or related circuit malfunction
•MAF/IAT sensor or related circuit malfunction

Warning
The following troubleshooting flow chart contains the fuel system diagnosis and repair
procedures. Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services:
•Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep
sparks and flames away from fuel.
•Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or death
and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete “BEFORE
REPAIR PROCEDURE” and “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE” described in this manual.
Note
•PCM checks fuel injection amount during a set interval while idling, and automatically corrects it to
maintain engine efficiency. It is normal that engine noise and vibration might be a little louder during
this process.

CENTRIFUGAL BALANCE CLUTCH DESCRIPTIONA6E571401030208Function
•The centrifugal balance clutch, which replaces the conventional piston check ball, cancels centrifugal oil
pressure generated during clutch drum rotation to prevent the clutch drag-engagement and to stabilize piston
pressure during full rotation.
Construction/Operation
•Centrifugal balance clutch chambers are installed opposite the clutch chambers in the low and high clutches.
The centrifugal balance clutch chambers are constantly filled with ATF from the exclusive hydraulic passage of
the oil pump.

Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF) Level Inspection
Caution
•The ATF amount varies according to ATF's temperature. Therefore, when checking the ATF level or
replacing the ATF, use a thermometer to measure the temperature then adjust the ATF amount to
the specified level according to the specified temperature.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. Apply the parking brake and position wheel chocks securely to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
3. Adjust the length of the thermistor probe measure to the measure same as the dipstick and hold the probe with
a paper holder.
4. Insert into the filler tube and measure the
temperature.
5. Warm up the engine until the ATF reaches (60—
70 °C {140—158 °F}).
Caution
•Do not warm the transaxle by performing
stalls. This will damage the torque
converter.
Note
•In some cases it may be necessary to
inspect the ATF in the cool range 15—25 °C
{59—77 °F} before warming up the engine.
6. While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to each range (P—M), pausing momentarily in each
range.
7. Shift back to P position.
Note
•If the ATF level is too high or too low in hot condition, the following problems may be the cause.
8. While the engine is idling, verify that the ATF level
is in the HOT (65 °C {149 °F}) range. Add the
ATF specified type of, if necessary. (See K2–80

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICA6E632227100208Outline
•The on-board diagnostic function allows for detecting malfunctions in the input/output signals when the ignition
key is at the ON position.
•The DLC-2, which combines the failure detection and detection maintenance connectors, has been adopted to
improve serviceability. By connecting a WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2, malfunction diagnosis can be carried
out.
•Using a WDS or equivalent DTCs can be retrieved or erased, depending on the screen display, thus improving
serviceability.

Self-diagnostic function
Failure detection function
•The failure detection function detects malfunctions in the input/output signal systems of the 4WD CM and
displays them when the ignition key is at the ON position.
•When the ignition key is turned to the ON position, the 4WD CM system begins operation, and the 4WD
warning light illuminates for 3 seconds while the function checks for open circuits. At the same time the function
monitors the condition of the power supply voltage and checks for internal malfunctions.
•Then, once the system is running, the function checks the operating conditions of the 4WD solenoid and the
differential oil temperature sensor at regular intervals to determine whether there is any malfunction.
•If any malfunction is detected during these diagnostic tests, the warning light illuminates according to the
malfunction to alert the driver. Also, a DTC is output to DLC-2 via the CAN line. Also, at the same time the
failure detection result is sent to the memory and fail-safe functions.

SUSPENSION CONTROL SYSTEMA6E741601013201Outline
•The self-leveling suspension is a system that adjusts the vehicle height according the amount of vehicle load.
This system will raise the rear of a vehicle, lowered due to a load placed on it, to the designated load level
* after
the vehicle has been driven a certain distance.
•The vehicle height adjustment is performed using a gas-pressurized pump function built into the rear shock
absorber.
•For the vehicle height to return to the designated load level, the vehicle must be driven approx. 5—6 km {3.1—
3.7 miles} in city driving conditions. (Distance will vary due to load and road conditions.)
•A load amount of approx. 140—300 kg {308—660 lb} at the rear axle will cause the vehicle height to be raised,
and any weight over that will prevent the vehicle from returning to the designated load level.
*: Designated load level is defined as the level at which the vehicle is with: a full fuel tank; engine coolant and oil at
specified levels; spare tire, jack and tools in designated positions; and four people, weighing 55 kg {121 lb} each,
riding in the vehicle.

Operation
During leveling operation
•During shock absorber expansion, the inlet check valve opens due to negative pressure created in the pump
chamber, and oil is drawn into the pump chamber from the low-pressure chamber. During shock absorber
contraction, oil pressure in the pump chamber forces the outlet check valve to open, and oil in the pump
chamber flows through the pump cylinder into the high-pressure chamber. Due to this expansion and
contraction while driving, rod reaction force increases, and the vehicle height returns to the designated load
level. Also, similar to a regular shock absorber, damping is performed while driving with the damping valve.
.
Leveling operation completed
•When the vehicle height returns to the designated
load level, the volume of oil in the high-pressure
chamber increases and the piston rises. This
causes the pump chamber and the high-pressure
chamber to be connected at the pump rod notch,
and the expansion or contraction is completed.
