HEATED STEERING WHEEL SYSTEM : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009461247
The heated steering wheel switch c ontrols the heated steering relay through the A/C Auto amp. When the
switch is turned on, the relay is energized and t he heated steering system will operate. The heated steering
system will turn off when the steering w heel temperature reaches approximately 86 ° F (30 ° C). Heated steer-
ing system operation can also be canceled by pressing t he heated steering wheel switch again. If the surface
temperature of the steering wheel is below 68 ° F (20 ° C), the system will heat the steering wheel and cycle off
and on to maintain a temperature above 68 ° F (20 ° C). The indicator light will remain on as long as the system
is on.

CONDITION OF INSTALLATION
• Check installation condition of power steering gear assembly, front suspension, front drive shaft and steering
column.
• Check if movement exists when steering wheel is mo ved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.
• Verify that the power steering gear nuts are tightened to specification. Refer to ST-36, "Exploded View"
.
STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Turn tires straight ahead, start engine, then turn steer ing wheel to the left and right lightly. Measure steer-
ing wheel movement on the outer circumference of the steering wheel when it is turned to the point where
tires start moving.
NEUTRAL POSITION ON STEERING WHEEL
• Check neutral position on steering wheel after confirming that front wheel alignment is correct. Refer to FSU-
25, "Wheel Alignment (Unladen*1)".
1. Turn tires straight ahead, check if st eering wheel is in the neutral position.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remo ve steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position cannot be attained by repositi oning the steering wheel two teeth or less on steering
stem, loosen tie-rod lock nuts of power steering gear outer sockets, then adjust tie-rods by the same
amount in the opposite direction.
STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to operating temperature.
4. Verify that the tires are inflated to the specified pressure. Refer to WT-60, "Tire"
.
5. Check steering wheel turning force using Tool when steering wheel has been turned 360 ° from the neutral position.
6. If steering wheel turning force is out of specification, inspect steering column. Refer to ST-18, "Inspection"
.
7. If steering column meets specification, inspect steering gear. Refer to ST-20, "Inspection"
.

On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of CVT and EngineINFOID:0000000009463958
The TCM and ECM have an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to
warn the driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and di sconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal
before any repair or inspection work. The open/s hort circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid
valves, etc. will cause the MIL to light up.
• Be sure to connect and lock the connectors secure ly after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
• Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to a short circuit.
• Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly afte r work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system, etc.
• Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction informa tion (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
Removal and Installation Proc edure for CVT Unit ConnectorINFOID:0000000009463959
REMOVAL
• Rotate bayonet ring (1) counterclockwise. Pull out CVT unit har-
ness connector (2) upward and remove it.
INSTALLATION
1. Align marking (A) on CVT unit harness connector terminal with
marking (B) on bayonet ring. Insert CVT unit harness connector.
2. Rotate bayonet ring clockwise.
3. Rotate bayonet ring clockwise until marking (A) on CVT unit har- ness connector terminal body is aligned with the slit (B) on bayo-
net ring as shown in the figure (correctly fitting condition).

sis
INFOID:0000000009463996
NOTE:
“Start the engine and turn OFF the ignition switch after warm-up.” This is defined as 1 trip.
1 TRIP DETECTION DIAGNOSIS
When initial malfunction is detected, TCM memorize s DTC. In these diagnoses, some illuminate MIL and
some do not. Refer to TM-60, "DTC Index"
.
2 TRIP DETECTION DIAGNOSIS
When initial malfunction is detected, TCM memorizes DTC of the 1st trip. MIL does not light at this stage. <1
trip>
If the same malfunction is detected again in next drivi ng, TCM memorizes DTC. When DTC is memorized, MIL
lights. <2 trip>
“Trip” of the “2 trip detection diagnosis” indicates the driving mode that executes self-diagnosis during driving.
×: Check possible —: Check not possible
DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : DTC and DTC of 1st TripINFOID:0000000009463997
2 TRIP DETECTION DIAGNOSIS THAT ILLUMINATES MIL
• The DTC number of the 1st trip is the same as the DTC number.
• When a malfunction is detected at the 1st trip, TCM memo rizes DTC of the 1st trip. MIL does not light at this
stage. If the same malfunction is not detected at t he 2nd trip (conforming to necessary driving conditions),
DTC at the 1st trip is erased from TCM. If the same malfunction is detected at the 2nd trip, TCM memorizes
DTC and MIL lights at the same time.
• The DTC of the 1st trip is specified in Service $01 of SAE J1979/ISO 15031-5. Since detection of DTC at the
1st trip does not illuminate MIL, warning for a problem is not given to a driver.
• For procedure to delete DTC and 1st trip DTC from TCM, refer to TM-43, "CONSULT Function"
.
• If DTC of the 1st trip is detected, it is necessary to check the cause according to the “Diagnosis flow”. Refer
to TM-77, "Flowchart of Trouble Diagnosis"
.
DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : Malf unction Indicator Lamp (MIL)INFOID:0000000009463998
• TCM not only detects DTC, but also sends the MI L signal to ECM through CAN communication. ECM sends
the MIL signal to the combination meter through CAN communication according to the signal, and illumi-
nates MIL.
• For malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) description, refer to EC-74, "DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL)".
DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : Counter SystemINFOID:0000000009463999
RELATION BETWEEN DTC AT 1ST TRIP/DTC/MIL AND DRIVING CONDITIONS (FOR 2 TRIP DE-
TECTION DIAGNOSIS THAT ILLUMINATES MIL)
• When initial malfunction is detected, TCM memorizes DT C of the 1st trip. MIL does not light at this stage.
• If the same malfunction is detect ed at the 2nd trip, TCM memorizes DTC and MIL lights at the same time.
• Then, MIL goes after driving the vehicle for 3 tr ips under “Driving condition B” without malfunction.
• DTC is displayed until 40 trips of “Driving condition A” are satisfied without detecting the same malfunction.
DTC is erased when 40 trips are satisfied.

CONSULT DATA MONITOR STANDARD VALUE
• In CONSULT, electric shift timing or lock-up timing, i. e. operation timing of each solenoid valve, is displayed.
Therefore, if there is an obvious difference between t he shift timing estimated from a shift shock (or engine
speed variations) and that shown on the CONSULT, the mechanism parts (including the hydraulic circuit)
excluding the solenoids and sensors may be malfunctioning. In this case, check the mechanical parts follow-
ing the appropriate diagnosis procedure.
• Shift point (gear position) displayed on CONSULT slight ly differs from shift pattern described in Service Man-
ual. This is due to the following reasons.
- Actual shift pattern may vary slightly within specified tolerances.
- While shift pattern described in Service Manual indica tes start of each shift, CONSULT shows gear position
at end of shift.
- The solenoid display (ON/OFF) on CONSULT is changed at the start of gear shifting. In contrast, the gear
position display is changed at the time when gear shif ting calculated in the control unit is completed.

The following table includes information (items) inapplicable to this vehicle. For information (items) applicable
