●Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.
●Use tools and recommended special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.
●When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems, check all affected lines for leaks.
●Before servicing the vehicle:
Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate cov-
ers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes, do not carelessly disconnect the harness
connectors which are related to the engine control system and TCM (transmission control module)
system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
Precautions for All Mode 4 × 4 SystemEAS000GQ
Even if the 2WD mode is selected, the All mode 4 × 4 system occasionally changes from 2WD to 4WD auto-
matically depending on the driving conditions.
When spinning the front wheels by running the engine with the front wheels jacked up or mounted on the free
rollers / or a chassis dynamometer, be careful because the vehicle may suddenly move due to the driving
force from the rear wheels.
To avoid personal injury and vehicle damage, use one of the following methods when working with the front
wheels drive force and spinning freely.
● Remove the propeller shaft.
● Use free rollers / chassis dynamometer designed for 4WD vehicles.
Precautions for Three Way CatalystEAS000FR
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.
●Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
●When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when
necessary.
●Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to
the catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Precautions for FuelEAS000P9
GASOLINE ENGINE
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 95 (RON).
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Using a fuel
other than that specified could adversely affect the emission control devices and systems, and could
also affect the warranty coverage validity.
DIESEL ENGINE
Diesel fuel of at least 50 cetane.
If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winter fuel properly according to the following temper-
ature conditions.
●Above –7°C (20°F) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
●Below –7°C (20°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
SGI234

GI-6
PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION:
●Do not use home heating oil, gasoline or other alternate fuels in your diesel engine. The use of
those can cause engine damage.
●Do not use summer fuel at temperatures below –7°C (20°F). The cold temperatures will cause wax
to form in the fuel. As a result, it may prevent the engine from running smoothly.
●Do not add gasoline or other alternate fuels to diesel fuel.
Precautions for Multiport Fuel Injection System or Engine Control SystemEAS000FT
●Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for
the multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
●Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to
injectors, be sure to release fuel pressure.
●Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air
flow sensor.
Precautions for Turbocharger (If Equipped)EAS000FU
The turbocharger turbine revolves at extremely high speeds and
becomes very hot. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a clean sup-
ply of oil flowing through the turbocharger and to follow all required
maintenance instructions and operating procedures.
●Always use the recommended oil. Follow the instructions for
proper time to change the oil and proper oil level.
●Avoid accelerating engine to a high rpm immediately after start-
ing.
●If engine had been operating at high rpm for an extended period
of time, let it idle for a few minutes prior to shutting if off.
Precautions for HosesEAS000FV
HOSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
●To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose
with tapered tool or screwdriver.
●To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure that hose inser-
tion length and orientation is correct. (If tube is equipped with
hose stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up
against hose stopper.)

HOSE CLAMPING
●If old rubber hose is re-used, install hose clamp in its original
position (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there is
a trace of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose, align rubber
hose at that position.
●Discard old clamps; replace with new ones.
●After installing plate clamps, apply force to them in the direction
of the arrow, tightening rubber hose equally all around.
Precautions for Engine OilsEAS000FW
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact
with used oil.
If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
●Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.
●Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
●Do not put oily rags in pockets.
●Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.
●Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regu-
larly.
●First aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.
●Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the skin.
●Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help). Prepa-
rations containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.
●Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
●If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
●Where practical, degrease components prior to handling.
●Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face
shields; in addition an eye wash facility should be provided.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste disposal contractors to licensed waste dis-
posal sites, or to the waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local authority for advice on disposal
facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains, or into water sources.
The regulations concerning pollution vary between regions.
Precautions for Air Conditioning EAS000FX
Use an approved refrigerant recovery unit any time the air conditioning system must be discharged. Refer to
ATC/MTC section “HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Procedure”, “REFRIGERANT LINES” for specific instructions.

How to Perform Efficient Diagnosis for an Electrical IncidentEAS000G6
WORK FLOW
INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible, re-create the
conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble Found Diagnosis. The fol-
lowing section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment under which the owner experiences an
electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
●Vehicle vibration
SGI838
STEP DESCRIPTION
STEP 1Get detailed information about the conditions and the environment when the incident occurred.
The following are key pieces of information required to make a good analysis:
WHATVehicle Model, Engine, Transmission/Transaxle and the System (i.e. Radio).
WHENDate, Time of Day, Weather Conditions, Frequency.
WHERERoad Conditions, Altitude and Traffic Situation.
HOWSystem Symptoms, Operating Conditions (Other Components Interaction).
Service History and if any After Market Accessories have been installed.
STEP 2Operate the system, road test if necessary.
Verify the parameter of the incident.
If the problem cannot be duplicated, refer to “Incident Simulation Tests”.
STEP 3Get the proper diagnosis materials together including:
●Power Supply Routing
●System Operation Descriptions
●Applicable Service Manual Sections
●Check for any Service Bulletins
Identify where to begin diagnosis based upon your knowledge of the system operation and the customer comments.
STEP 4Inspect the system for mechanical binding, loose connectors or wiring damage.
Determine which circuits and components are involved and diagnose using the Power Supply Routing and Harness
Layouts.
STEP 5 Repair or replace the incident circuit or component.
STEP 6Operate the system in all modes. Verify the system works properly under all conditions. Make sure you have not inad-
vertently created a new incident during your diagnosis or repair steps.

GI-24
SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT
●Heat sensitive
●Freezing
●Water intrusion
●Electrical load
●Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the conditions of the
problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating (idle with
A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to the following illustra-
tion.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are inspecting. Gently
shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident you are trying to duplicate.
This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the connector termi-
nals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If the problem occurs inter-
mittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to disconnect, inspect and clean the
terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting.
This test may indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some of the
things to check for are:
●Connectors not fully seated.
●Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
●Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
●Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
●Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections. (Refer to Ground
Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded. Then check for loose connection
by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the
wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory installation. Vehi-
cle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a screw.
