procedures for the inspection, maintenance, repair
and servicing of the subject model. Unless other-
wise specified, each service procedure covers all
models. Procedures covering specific models are
identified by the model codes, or similar designation
(engine type, transaxle type, etc.). A description of
these designations is covered in this unit under
“VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION”.
SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES“Service Adjustment Procedures” are procedures
for performing inspections and adjustments of
particularly important locations with regard to the
construction and for maintenance and servicing, but
other inspections (for looseness, play, cracking,
damage, etc.) must also be performed.
SERVICE PROCEDURESThe service steps are arranged in numerical order
and attentions to be paid in performing vehicle
service are described in detail in SERVICE POINTS.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshootings are classified into master trouble-
shooting and group troubleshooting and located as
follows:
The master troubleshooting is prepared when the
trouble symptom relates to two or more groups and
given in MASTER TROUBLESHOOTING.
The group troubleshooting guide is prepared for
causes of problems related to that individual groupIndicates the value used as the standard for judging
the quality of a part or assembly on inspection or the
value to which the part or assembly is corrected and
adjusted. It is given by tolerance.
LIMITShows the standard for judging the quality of a part
or assembly on inspection and means the maximum
or minimum value within which the part or assembly
must be kept functionally or in strength. It is a value
established outside the range of standard value.
REFERENCE VALUEIndicates the adjustment value prior to starting the
work (presented in order to facilitate assembly and
adjustment procedures, and so they can be com-
pleted in a shorter time).
CAUTIONIndicates the presentation of information particularly
vital to the worker during the performance of
maintenance’ and servicing procedures in order to
avoid the possibility of injury to the worker; or
damage to component
.parts, or a reduction of
component or vehicle function or performance, etc.
INDICATION OF TIGHTENING TORQUEThe tightening torque shown in this manual is a
basic value with a tolerance of
+lO% except the
following cases when the upper and lower limits of
tightening torque are given.
(1) The tolerance for the basic value is within
+ I no/-
only; a troubleshooting guide is prepared for eachI iv,“.appropriate group.(2) Special bolts or the like are in use.
(3) Special tighteningmethods are used.
MODEL INDICATIONS
The following abbreviations are used in this manual for classification of model types.M/T:Indicates the manual transaxle, or models equipped with the manual transaxle.
A/T:Indicates the automatic transaxle, or models equipped with the automatic transaxle.
MPI: Indicates the multi-point injection, or engines equipped with the multi-point injection.
Turbo: Indicates an engine with turbocharger, or a model equipped with such an engine.
Non-Turbo: Indicates an engine without turbocharger, or a model equipped with such an engine.
FWD: Indicates the front wheel drive vehicles.
AWD; Indicates the all wheel drive vehicles.
ABS:Indicates the anti-lock braking system or models equipped with the anti-lock braking system.
ECS: Indicates the electronic control suspension or models equipped with the electronic control
suspension.
