SPEEDOMETER TESTIF A FREE ROLLER IS USED
1.Set the free roller on the floor (at the rear wheels) so that itis aligned with the vehicle’s wheelbase and the rear tread.
2.Carefully move the vehicle onto the tester and free roller.
3. Set the speedometer tester in place.
4. Perform the speedometer test.
For information concerning the measurement of speed andthe allowable error, refer to GROUP
8-Meters and
Gauges.Caution
Do not operate the clutch suddenly, or increase or
reduce speed suddenly during the work.
IF THE REAR WHEELS ARE JACKED UP
1. Move the vehicle onto the speedometer tester.
2. Jack up the rear wheels, and place axle stands at the
designated part of the side sill.
3. Perform the speedometer test.
For information concerning the measurement of speed andthe allowable error, refer to GROUP
8-Meters and
Gauges.
CautionDo not operate the clutch suddenly, or increase or
reduce speed suddenly during the work.
Front wheel side slip
To prevent the front wheels from moving from side to side,
attach tension bars to the front tie-down brackets, and secure
both ends at anchor plates.
Accident prevention procedures
(1) Attach a chain or wire to the rear tie-down hole. (Refer to
GROUP 8-Meters and Gauges.) Make sure the end of thewire or chain is secured firmly.
(2) Take all other necessary precautions.
BRAKE TESTIn order to stabilize the viscous coupling’s dragging force, the
brake test should always be conducted after the speedometer
test.
FRONT WHEEL MEASUREMENTS
1. Place the front wheels on the brake tester.
2. Perform the brake test.
CautionThe rear wheels should remain on the ground.
3. If the brake dragging force exceeds the specified value,
jack up the vehicle and manually rotate each wheel to
check the rotation condition of each wheel.
NOTE
If the brake dragging force exceeds the specified value, the
cause may be the effect of the viscous coupling’s draggingforce, so jack up the front wheels and check the rotation
condition of the wheels in this state for no effect by the
viscous coupling’s dragging force.

After placing the rear wheels on the brake tester, follow the
same procedures as for the front wheel measurements.

2. Release the parking brake.
3. Rotate each wheel manually and check to be sure
that there is no dragging.
3. Use the engine to drive the tires, and then make the

motor drive can be used concurrently.
2. Do not operate the clutch
suddenly, or increase or
reduce speed suddenly during the work.
REAR WHEEL MEASUREMENTS
1. Jack up the front wheels, and place an axle stand at the

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)

Symptom
NOTE
1 Probable cause1 Remedy
In addition to a malfunction of the differential carrier components, abnormal noise can also be caused by the universal
joint of the propeller shaft, the axle shafts, the wheel bearings, etc. Before disassembling any parts, take all
possibilities into consideration and confirm the source of the noise.

Noise from the engine, muffler vibration, transaxle, propeller shaft, wheel bearings, tires, body, etc., is easily mistaken
as being caused by malfunctions in the differential carrier components. Be extremely careful and attentive whenperforming the driving test, etc.
Test methods to confirm the source of the abnormal noise include:coasting acceleration, constant speed driving,
raising the rear wheels on a jack, etc. Use the method most appropriate to the circumstances.
