N ENGINE SPEED SENSING POWER STEERING Caution Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme left or right for more than five seconds with the engine running. This could damage the power steering d pump- 8. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and right and measure the fluid pressure generated by the gear hous- ing. If the pressure is not within specification, replace the gear housing assembly. Gear housing fluid pressure: 7,601--8,335 kPa (77.545.0 kgflcm2, 1,103-1,208 psi) 9. Remove the gauge set. Install and tighten the pressure hose to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 3247 N.m (3.24.8 kgf.m, 24--34 ft.lbf} 10. Bleed the air from the system. (Refer to page N-21.) STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN Obtain the code number and deactivate the audio anti- theft system before disconnecting the battery. (Refer to section T.) On-vehicle Inspection -1 Steering wheel effort 1. With the vehicle on a hard, level surface, put the wheels in the straight-ahead position. 2. Start the engine and warm the power steering fluid to 50--60°C (1 22-1 40°F). 3. With the engine running at idle, attach a pull scale to the outermost point of the steering wheel spoke. Then, starting with the wheels in the straight-ahead posi- tion, measure the effort required to turn the steering wheel to the left and to the right. Steering wheel effort: 2635 N (2.63.6 kgf, 5.3-7.9 Ibf) (during one turn of the steering wheel) 2 4. If not within specification, check the following: fluid level, air in system, fluid leakage at hose or connections, func- tion of oil pump and steering gear, and tire pressure. Gartner Banana

ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) P ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) DESCRIPTION - 1. There is the following distinctive characteristics in the ABS vehicles compared with the non-ABS vehicles. Note that it does not indicate malfunction. When the brakes are applied rapidly or on a slippery road surface, the ABS will activate; the brake pedal will pulsate slightly and the vehicle and the steering wheel will vibrate slightly. When the vehicle speed reaches approximately 6 kmh (3.8 mph}, the pump motor sound is heard momentarily. This sound is due to ABS self-diagnosis. 2. By retaining or reducing the hydraulic fluid pressure in the hydraulic unit, the ABS tester is used to locate the cause of a problem within the antilock brake system. Because there is no way to check the ABS control unit itself, replace the control unit assembly only after first confirming that the other electrical parts operate normally.

WHEELS AND TIRES Q WHEELS AND TIRES SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT WHEELS AND TIRES ,, 1. Do not use wheels or tires other than those types specified. 2. Aluminum wheels are easily scratched. When washing them, use a soft cloth, never a wire brush. If the vehicle is steam cleaned, do not allow boiling water to contact the wheels. 3. If alkaline compounds (such as salt-water or road salts) get on aluminum wheels, wash them as soon as possible to prevent damage. Use only a neutral detergent. - - 9MUOQX-004 NOTES REGARDING TIRE REPLACEMENT Note the following points when tires are to be removed from or mounted onto the wheels. 1. Be careful not to damage the tire bead, the rim bead, or the edge of the rim. 2. Apply a soapy solution to the tire bead and the edge of the rim. 3. Use a wire brush, sandpaper, or cloth to clean and remove all rust and dirt from the rim edge and the rim bead. For aluminum wheels, use only a cloth for this purpose; never use a wire brush or sandpaper. 4. Remove pebbles, glass, nails, and other foreign items embedded in the tire tread. 5. Be sure the air valve is installed correctly. 6. After mounting a tire on a wheel, inflate it to 250-300 kPa I2.55--3.06 kgf/cm2, 35.55--42.66 psi). Verify that the bead is seated correctly on the rim and that there are no air leaks. Then reduce the pres- sure to the specified level. 7. If a tire iron is used to change a tire on an aluminum wheel, be sure to use a piece of rubber between the iron lever and the wheel to avoid damage to the wheel. Work should be done on a rubber mat, not on a hard or rough surface. INSPECTION / ADJUSTMENT Check the following and adjust or replace as necessary. 1. Air pressure. Check the air pressure of all tires when they are cold, including the spare tire, with an air pressure gauge. u Air pressure: Standard tires 177 kPa (1.8 kgf/cm2, 26 psi) Temporary spare tires 412 kPa (4.2 kgf/cm2, 60 psi) 2. Wheel runout. Set the probe of a dial indicator against the wheel, and turn the wheel one full revolution. WEAR INDICATOR Wheel runout: Horizontal 2.0mm (0.079 in) max. Vertical 1.5mm (0.059 in) max. WEAR lNDICAToR 3. Tire wear. Specifications Remaining tread Ordinary tires: 1.6mm (0.063 in) min. (Tire should be replaced if wear indicators are exposed.) Snow tires: 50% of tread (Tire should be replaced if wear indicators are exposed .) Gartner Banana

Repair or replace suspension parts Repair or replace Balance or replace Correct or replace Correct or replace Rotate tires Caution Applying oil to the lug nuts, bolts, or wheels will cause the lug nuts to become loosened. Tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque in a criss- cross fashion. Verify that the wheel-to-hub contact surfaces are clean.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT WHEEL ALIGNMENT FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT Specifications (Unladed*l) PRE-INSPECTION 1. Check the tire inflations, and adjust to the recommended d pressure if necessary. 2. lnspect the front wheel bearing play and correct if neces- sary. 3. lnspect the wheel and tire runouts. 4. Inspect the ball joints and steering linkage for excessive looseness. 5. The vehicle must be on level ground and carry no lug- gage or passengers. 6. Measure the height from the center of the wheel to the fender brim. The difference between left and right mea- surement must not exceed 10mm (0.39 in), and the rear measurement must be larger then the front measure- ment by 10-30mm (0.4--1.1 in). Caution The proper caster and camber angle vary depend- ing on the vehicle height. Refer to the following and to page R-9 for the specifications.
