BLEEDING
1. Lift up the vehicle.
2. Connect the MUT-II to the 16-pin diagnosis connector.
Caution
Before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-II,
always turn off the ignition switch.
3. Turn on the ignition switch.
4. Operate the MUT-II (Item No.10) to activate the hydraulic
unit forcibly.
NOTE
(1) The forced activation (air bleeding mode) will be
automatically canceled after 5 minutes operation. It
can also be canceled forcibly by operating the clear
key on the MUT-II.
(2) While this function is being disabled by the fail-safe
function, the forced activation of the hydraulic unit
can not be executed.
5. Remove the cap of the left bleeder screw on the torque
transfer differential and connect a vinyl hose.
6. Gradually turn the steering wheel clockwise from the
straight-ahead position. At this time, loosen the left bleeder
screw and check that fluid is discharged with air.
7. After air has been completely discharged, tighten the
bleeder screw.
Caution
While the system is being bled of air, add fluid as
necessary to ensure that it is left in the oil reservoir
during the entire procedure.
8. Repeat steps (6) and (7) two to three times until no air
bubbles are recognized in the fluid that comes out. Then,
tighten the bleeder screw to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 9 Nm
9. Perform steps (5) through (8) for the right bleeder screw.
Note, however, that the steering wheel should be turned
counterclockwise.
10. After the system has been completely bled of air, check
for the fluid level. (Refer to P.27-33.)
Caution
If the system is not completely bled of air, the hydraulic
unit could generate noise, degrading pump durability.
AYC OPERATION CHECK
1. Lift up the vehicle.
2. Connect the MUT-II to the 16-pin diagnosis connector.
Caution
Before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-II, always
turn off the ignition switch.
3. Start the engine.
4. Operate the MUT-II with the transmission in 2nd or a
higher gear and check to ensure that the vehicle speed
is higher than 10 km/h using the Data List (Item 10).

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL – Radio and Tape Player54-45
RADIO AND TAPE PLAYER
TROUBLESHOOTING
There is noise when the engine is running.
Kind of Noise (Parenthe-
sized is how noise
sounds.)SymptomCauseRemedy
AM, FM: Ignition noise
(Popping, snapping,
crackling, buzzing)
Popping sound becomes
faster with the increase
of engine speed.

The noise is lost with
ignition switch turned to
ACC.
Mainly due to the
spark plugs.

Due to noise circula-
tion from elsewhere

Noise from the engineCheck the noise capacitor
and earth cable and
replace if necessary. (See
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.)
AM, FM: Defogger noise
(1) (Murmuring)Occurs when the defogger
switch is turned to ON and
OFF.Noise produced by spark-
ing when the defogger
switch is turned to ON/
OFF enters the glass
antenna.Check the noise capacitor
and replace if necessary.
(See Fig. 1.)
AM, FM: Defogger noise
(2) (Snapping noise)Occurs when the defogger
switch is turned to ON.Noise produced by current
flowing in the defogger
enters the glass antenna.Check the choke coil and
replace if necessary.
(See Fig. 3.)
AM, FM: Defogger noise
(3) (Scratching, gaggling)Occurs when the defogger
switch is turned to ON with
print heater wire broken.Noise produced by spark-
ing where print heater is
broken enters the glass
antenna.Repair the print heater.
AM, FM: Wiper motor
noise (Humming, wheez-
ing)Sound becomes faster with
the increase of wiper speed
and is lost when the wiper is
stopped.Caused by sparking in
wiper motor brush.Replace the wiper motor.
FM: Mirror motor noise
(Humming, wheezing)Occurs when electric mirror
operates.Caused by sparking in
mirror motor brush.Replace the electric
motor.
Other electrical compo-
nents–Noise is emitted by some
electrical components in
long use.Repair or replace electri-
cal components.
Static electricity (Crack-
ling, crinkling)
Noise is stopped when
the vehicle comes to a
complete stop.

Noise becomes louder
when the clutch is
released.Occurs when parts or
wiring move for some
reason and contact metal
parts of the body.Put parts or wiring into
position.
Various noises are produced
by body parts.Due to electrical detach-
ment of the hood, exhaust
pipe and muffler, suspen-
sion, etc. from the body.Tighten mounting bolts
securely. In many cases,
remedy of one part does
not eliminate the problem
due to incomplete earthing
elsewhere.
Caution
(1) Never let the noise filter contact a high tension cable. The noise filter could break down.
(2) Check that there is no external noise. This check is necessary to prevent misidentification of noise
sources.
(3) Noise prevention should be performed by eliminating noise sources in the descending order of loudness.

HEATER AND MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER – On-vehicle Service55-11
DISCHARGING SYSTEM
1. Run the engine at an engine speed of 1,200–1,500 r/min
for approximately 5 minutes with the A/C operating to
return to the oil.
NOTE
Returning the oil will be more effective if it is done while
driving.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Connect the charging hose (blue) to the adaptor valve
1 with its handle turned back all the way (valve closed).
4. Connect the quick joint 2 to the charging hose (blue),
and install the quick joint to the low-pressure service valve.
NOTE
The low-pressure service valve is provided on the suction
pipe.
Caution
(1) To connect the quick joint, press section “A” firmly
against the service valve until a click is heard.
(2) When connecting, run your hand along the hose
while pressing to ensure that there are no bends
in the hose.
5. Place the adaptor valve 1 inside the container and
discharge the refrigerant by opening the handle gradually
so that oil does not gush out.
NOTE
Any oil remaining in the container should be returned
to the A/C system.
PERFORMANCE TEST
1. The vehicle to be tested should be placed in a place
that is not exposed to direct sunlight.
2. The ambient condition should be 16 – 30 °C in temperature
and 60 – 100 % in relative humidity.
3. Open all the doors so that the air condition inside the
passenger compartment may be identical to that of the
outside.
4. With the high-pressure side of the gauge manifold closed,
connect the charging hose (red) to the gauge manifold
high-pressure side. Attach the quick joint for high-pressure
to the charging hose (red) and install it to the high-pressure
service valve on the vehicle side.
NOTE
The high-pressure service valve is found on liquid pipe
