HOW TO USE THE INSPECTION PROCEDURES
The causes of a high frequency of problems occurring in electronic circuitry are generally the connectors,
components, the ECU and the harnesses between connectors, in that order. These inspection procedures
follow this order, and they first try to discover a problem with a connector or a defective component.

mode switch is pressed.

2. Indicates inspection carried out using the
MUT-II.
Indicates the operation and inspection proce-
dures.
Indicates the OK judgement conditions.
3. Detailed inspection procedures (methods)
such as component inspection and circuit
inspection are listed on a separate page, and
are given here for reference.
5. Inspect the contact condition at each connector terminal.
(Refer to Connector Inspection Service Points.)
The connector position can be located in the wiring diagram in the
electrical wiring manual by means of this symbol.
Caution
After carrying out connector inspection, always be sure to
reconnect the connector as it was before.
6. Confirm that there are trouble symptoms. If trouble symptoms have
disappeared, the connector may have been inserted incorrectly and the
trouble symptom may have disappeared during inspection.
If it seems that trouble symptoms still remain, proceed to the next page of
instructions.
7. If trouble symptoms still remain up to this stage, there is a possibility that there is an
open or short circuit in the harness between the connectors, so check the harness.
Alternatively, the cause may be a defective ECU, so try replacing the ECU and check
if the trouble symptom disappears.

HARNESS INSPECTION
Check for an open or short circuit in the harness between the terminals which were defective according
to the connector measurements. Carry out this inspection while referring to the electrical wiring manual.
Here, “Check harness between power supply and terminal xx” also includes checking for blown fuses.
For inspection service points when there is a blown fuse, refer to “Inspection Service Points for a Blown
Fuse.”
MEASURES TO TAKE AFTER REPLACING THE ECU
If the trouble symptoms have not disappeared even after replacing the ECU, repeat the inspection procedure
from the beginning.

DRIVE BELT TENSION CHECK
1. Check that the indicator marking of the auto-tensioner
is within the range as shown in the illustration A of the
tensioner bracket.
Caution
Inspection must be carried out after turning the
crankshaft clockwise for more than once.
2. If the marking is outside the range as shown in the
illustration A, replace the drive belt.
NOTE
Due to the adoption of the auto-tensioner, no adjustment
for belt tension is required.
AUTO-TENSIONER CHECK
1. Check that the driver belt stays within the width of the
pulley of the auto-tensioner after turning off the engine
at idle.
2. Remove the drive belt.(Refer to P.11C-15.)
3. Use the 12.7sq. spinner handle and etc. to check that
the auto-tensioner is not stuck by turning it in both
directions.
4. If there is any abnormality in the above - mentioned 1
or 3, replace the auto-tensioner.
5. Install the drive belt.(Refer to P.11C-15.)

To determine whether the auto-tensioner is acceptable can
be done by checking the drive belt tension.
1. Use the following procedure to check the drive belt tension.

(1) Connect the special tool (MB991668) to the MUT-II.
(2) Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector.
Caution
Connection and disconnection of the MUT-IImust
be carried out after turning the ignition switch
to the “LOCK” (OFF) position.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position and select
“Belt Tension Measurement” from the menu screen.

ENGINE COOLANT LEAK CHECKING
1. Confirm that the coolant level is up to the filler neck.
Install a radiator cap tester and apply 160 kPa pressure,
and then check for leakage from the radiator hose or
connections.
Caution
(1) Be sure to completely clean away any moisture
from the places checked.
(2) When the tester is taken out, be careful not to
spill any coolant from it.
(3) Be careful, when installing and removing the tester
and when testing, not to deform the filler neck
of the radiator.
2. If there is leakage, repair or replace the appropriate part.
RADIATOR CAP OPENING PRESSURE CHECK
1. Use a cap adapter to attach the cap to the tester.
2. Increase the pressure until the indicator of the gauge
stops moving.
Limit: 83 kPa
Standard value: 93 - 123 kPa
3. Replace the radiator cap if the reading does not remain
at or above the limit.
NOTE
Be sure that the cap is clean before testing, since rust
or other foreign material on the cap seal will cause an
improper indication.
ENGINE COOLANT REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the under cover.
(Refer to GROUP 51 - Front Bumper.)
2. Drain the engine coolant by removing the drain plug and
then the radiator cap.

Torque transfer mechanism part
1. Remove the drive shaft. (Refer to P. 27B-29.)
2. Remove the oil seal from the differential carrier.
3. Using the special tool, drive a new oil seal all the way
into position.
4. Coat the oil seal lips and the drive shaft surface in contact
with the oil seal with the specified grease.
Specified grease: Vaseline
5. Replace the drive shaft circlip with a new one and mount
the drive shaft to the differential carrier. (Refer to P.
27B-29.)
6. Check for correct wheel alignment. (Refer to GROUP
34 – On-vehicle Service.)
ACTION WHEN BATTERY RUNS OUT
When the engine is started using a booster cable where the
battery has completely run down and you attempt to start
the vehicle without waiting for the battery to recover a certain
charge, the engine can misfire and you just cannot start to
move it. In such cases, charge the battery sufficiently; or,
remove the AYC battery cable from the battery fuse assembly
to make AYC inactive before attempting to start the vehicles.
When the battery cable is removed, the ACD mode indicator
lamp lights up. After the battery has been recharged, fit the
battery cable back again and start the engine to ensure that
the ACD mode indicator lamp is off.

The brake fluid level sensor is in good condition if there is
no continuity when the float surface is above “MIN” and if
there is continuity when the float surface is below “MIN”.
DISC BRAKE PAD CHECK AND REPLACEMENT

NOTE
The wear indicator contacts the brake disc when the brake
pad thickness reaches approximately 2 mm and emit a
squealing sound to warn the driver.
1. Check the brake pad thickness through the caliper body
check port.
Standard value: 10.0 mm
Limit: 2.0 mm
2. When the thickness is less than the limit, always replace
the pads at an axle set.
3. Remove the pin bolt. Pivot the caliper assembly and hold
it with wires.
Caution
Do not wipe off the special grease that is on the pin
or allow it to contaminate the pin.
4. Remove the following parts from the caliper support.
1. Pad and wear indicator assembly
2. Pad assembly
3. Clip
4. Outer shim
5. In order to measure the brake drag force after pad
installation, measure the rotary-sliding resistance of the
hub with the pads removed. (Refer to P.35A-21.)
6. Install the pads and caliper assembly, and then check
the brake drag force. (Refer to P.35A-21.)
