STEERING WHEEL RETURN TO CENTRE
CHECK
M1372001800317
Conduct a road test:
1. Make both gradual and sudden turns and check
the steering wheel return.
2. At a vehicle speed of approximately 35 km/h, turn
the steering wheel 90°, hold a few seconds, then
release. If the steering wheel then returns 70° or
more, the return can be judged satisfactory.
NOTE: There will be a momentary feeling or
"heaviness" when the wheel is turned quickly, but
this is not abnormal (Oil pump discharge amount
is especially apt to be insufficient during idling).

FLUID LEVEL CHECKM1372002000284
1. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface.
2. Start the engine, and then turn the steering wheel
several times to raise the temperature of the fluid
to approximately 50 − 60°C.
3. With the engine running, turn the wheel all the
way to the left and right several times.4. Check the fluid in the oil reservoir for foaming or
milkiness. Check the difference of the fluid level
when the engine is stopped, and while it is
running. If the change of the fluid level is 5 mm or
more, air bleeding should be done.
FLUID REPLACEMENTM1372002100333
1. Raise and support the front wheels.
2. Disconnect the return hose connection, and then
connect a vinyl hose to the return hose, and drain
the fluid into a container.
3. Disconnect the ignition coil connectors (Refer to
GROUP 16, Ignition Coil P.16-38or P.16-39).
4. While operating the starter motor intermittently,
turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and
right several times to drain all of the fluid.
5. Connect the return hose securely, and then
secure with the clip.
6. Fill the oil reservoir with specified fluid up to
between "MAX" and "MIN" marks, and then bleed
the air.
Specified fluid: ATF DEXRON III or DEXRON

assemblies.
2. These conditions must be corrected before a
satisfactory adjustment can be made.
3. Inspect tyre inflation, and adjust if it is necessary.
4. If the fuel tank is not full, place a weight in luggage
room of the vehicle to simulate weight of a full
tank (0.8 kg per litre).
5. There should be no other load in the vehicle other
than driver or substituted weight of approximately
75 kg placed in driver's position.
6. Thoroughly clean the headlamp lenses.7. Place the vehicle on a level floor, perpendicular to
a flat screen 10 m away from the bulb
centre-marks on the headlamp lens.
8. Rock vehicle sideways to allow vehicle to assume
its normal position.
9. Bounce the front suspension through three (3)
oscillations by applying the body weight to hood
or bumper.
10.Four lines of adhesive tape (or equivalent
markings) are required on screen or wall:
(1) Position a vertical tape or mark so that it is
aligned with the vehicle centre line.
(2) Measure the distance from the centre-marks
on the headlamp lens to the floor. Transfer the
measurement to the screen. Horizontal tape or
