LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE - Maintenance Service
MAINTENANCE SERVICE1. FUEL SYSTEM (Tank, Lines,

leaks)/2. FUEL
HOSE (Check for leaks or
damage)1 NSOSAGtib1. Check for damage or leakage in the fuet
lines and
connections and looseness of the fuel
fi!:ler cap.
2.Inspect the surface of fuel hoses for heat and mecha-
nical damage. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, check-
ing, tears, cuts, abrasions and excessive swelling
indicate deterioration of the rubber.
3. If the fabric casing of the rubber hose is exposed by
cracks and abrasions in the fuel system, the hoses
should be changed.
3. AIR CLEANER ELEMENT (Replace)
NOOSAKBbThe air cleaner element will become dirty and loaded with
dust during use, and the filtering effect will be substantially
reduced. Replace it with a new one.
<1.8L Engine, 2.0L DOHC Engine (Non-Turbo)>
(1) Disconnect the air-flow sensor connector.
(2) Remove the air intake hose.
(3) Unclamp the air cleaner cover.
(4) Push the air intake hose backward, and remove the air
cleaner cover.
Caution
Care must be taken when removing the air cleaner
cover, because the air-flow sensor is ‘attached.
(5) Take out the air cleaner element.
<2.0L DOHC Engine (Turbo)>
(1) Disconnect the air-flow sensor connector.
(2) Disconnect the boost hose.
(3) Disconnect the solenoid valve with hoses.
(4) Disconnect the air intake hose.
(5) Remove the air cleaner retaining bolts.
(6) Remove the air cleaner assembly.
(7) Unclamp the air cleaner cover.
Caution
Care must be taken when removing the air cleaner
cover, because the air-flow sensor is attached.
(8) Take out the air cleaner element.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE - Maintenance ServiceO:lllO.AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (Inspect fluid
I~~+v~!1. Drive until the fluid temperature reaches the usual
temperature
[70-80°C (160- 18O”F)l.2. Place vehicle on level floor.
3.Move selector lever sequentially to every position to fill
torque converter and hydraulic
circuitwith fluid, then
place lever in“N” Neutral position. This operation is
necessary to be sure that fluid level check is accurate.
4.Before removing dipstick, wipe all dirt from area arounddipstick. Then take out the dipstick and check the
condition of the fluid.
The transaxle should be overhauled under the following
conditions.l If there is a “burning” odor.
l If the fluid color has become noticeably blacker.
l If there is a noticeably great amount of metal
particles in the fluid.
5.Check to see if fluid level is in “HOT” range on dipstick.If fluid level is low, add ATF until level reaches “HOT”
range.Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions
because it allows pump to take in air along with fluid. Airtrapped in hydraulic circuit forms bubbles which make
fluid spongy. Therefore, pressures will be erratic.
Improper filling can also raise fluid level too high. Whentransaxle has too much fluid, gears churn up foam and
cause same conditions which occur with low fluid level,resulting in accelerated deterioration of ATF.
transmission fluid.
In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating, fluid
oxidation, which can interfere with normal valve, clutch,and servo operation. Foaming can also result in fluid
escaping from transaxle vent where it may be mistakenfor a leak.
6. Be sure to examine fluid on dipstick closely.lO.AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (Change fluid)
Drain the fluid and check whether there is any evidence of
contamination.
Replenish with new fluid after the cause of any contamina-tion has been corrected.
(1) Remove drain plugs to let fluid drain.
(2) Remove the oil pan.
(3) Check the oil filter for clogging and damage and replaceif necessary.
(4) Clean the inside of oil pan and 5 magnets.
(5) Attach the five magnets to the concave part of the oil
(6)
Elan both gasket surfaces of transaxle case and oil
pan.(7) Install oil pan with new gasket and tighten oil pan bolts

BRAKES - Service Adiustment Procedures5-45I
\\14A0416

BLEEDINGN65FYAN
When the master cylinder is empty of brake fluid, bleed air
from the master cylinder by proceeding with procedures (1)
thru (6). (Because this master cylinder is not equipped with a
check valve.)
When brake fluid remains in the master cylinder, proceed with
step (6).
(1) -Disconnect the brake tube from the master cylinder.
(2) Two persons should conduct the air bleeding, one person
slowly depressing the brake pedal and holding the pedal
depressed.(3) In this condition, the other person should use a finger to
close the outlet part of the master cylinder, and then the
first person should release the brake pedal.
(4) Steps (2) and (3) should be repeated three or four times,
and then the master cylinder should be filled with brake
fluid to the specified level.
NOTE
The air is completely bled from the master cylinder by steps
(1) to (4).
(5) Connect the brake tube to the master cylinder.
(6) Start the engine; then, in the sequence shown in the
illustration, bleed the air from each wheel cylinder.
Specified brake fluid: MOPAR Brake Fluid/
Conforming to DOT3
Caution
1.Use the specified brake fluid. Avoid using a mixture
of the specified brake fluid and other fluid.2. If brake fluid is exposed to the air, it will absorb
moisture; as water is absorbed from the atmos-phere, the boiling point of the brake fluid will
decrease and the braking performance will be
seriously impaired. For this reason, use a hermeti-
cally sealed 1 lit.
(1.06 qt.) or 0.5 lit. (0.52 qt.) brake
fluid container.3. Firmly close the cap of the brake fluid container
after use.
4. For vehicles with the anti-lock braking system, besure to install a filter to the master cylinder
reservoir tank when supplying brake fluid.
ORDINARY AIR-BLEEDING PROCEDURES(1) Depress the brake pedal several times until resistance is
felt; then, with the pedal depressed, loosen the bleeder
screw
l/3 to l/2 turn and then tighten it before the fluid
pressure is all gone.
(2) Release the brake pedal. Repeat this procedure until there
are no more air bubbles in the brake fluid.
