Vibration

Too low engine speed at startAdjust and instruct customers.
Vane pump aerationFix wrong part.
Vent air.
Damaged valve in oil pump, gear-
boxReplace oil pump, bad parts of
gearbox.
Looseness of play of steering,
suspension partsRetighten.
*8 Oil pump makes whine or growl noise slightly due to its mechanism. Even if the noise can be heard when steering wheel
is turned at stand still there is no abnormal function in the system provided that the noise eliminates when the vehicle is
running.
*9 When stopping with service brake and/or parking brake applied, power steering can be operated easily due to its light
steering effort. If doing so, the disk rotates slightly and makes creaking noise. The noise is generated by creaking between
the disk and pads. If the noise goes off when the brake is released, there is no abnormal function in the system.
*10 There may be a little vibration around the steering devices when turning steering wheel at standstill, even though the com-
ponent parts are properly adjusted and have no defects.
Hydraulic systems are likely to generate this kind of vibration as well as working noise and fluid noise because of com-
bined conditions, i.e., road surface and tire surface, engine speed and turning speed of steering wheel, fluid temperature
and braking condition.
This phenomena does not indicate there is some abnormal function in the system.
The vibration can be known when steering wheel is turned repeatedly at various speeds from slow to rapid step by step
with parking brake applied on concrete road and in“D”range for automatic transmission vehicle.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM“AIRBAG”
Airbag system wiring harness is routed near the center
brake pipe.
CAUTION:

All Airbag system wiring harness and connectors
are colored yellow. Do not use electrical test equip-
ment on these circuit.

Be careful not to damage Airbag system wiring har-
ness when servicing the center brake pipe.
A: REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
CAUTION:

When removing and installing the brake pipe, make
sure that it is not bent.

After installing the brake pipe and hose, bleed the
air.

After installing the brake hose, make sure that it
does not touch the tire or suspension assembly, etc.

18. Brake Hose and Pipe

2. Hill Holder
Trouble and possible cause Corrective action
1. Counterforce of clutch pedal is too strong.
(1) PHV cable is damaged or does not operate properly. Repair or replace.
(2) Lever of PHV is defective. Replace entire PHV assembly.
(3) Clutch system is anomalous. Refer to“Clutch and pedal cable system”.
2. Vehicle does not stop on uphill road of 3°or higher inclination.
(1) Front side of vehicle is lowered. Refer to“Suspension”.
(2) PHV cable is broken. Replace.
(3) Play of clutch is excessive. Adjust.
(4) PHV cable is elongated. Adjust.
(5) Sealing of PHV is poor. Replace entire PHV assembly.
3. Shock is felt when starting.
(1) Poor adjustment of starting performance: Adjust.
(2) When depressing the brake pedal strongly:(The stronger brake pedal depressing force, the later hill holder
releases.)
(3) When starting on flat road after stopping reverse movement: (Because hill holder is activated.)
4. Vehicle slips down when starting.
(1) PHV cable is elongated. Adjust.
(2) Clutch facing is worn out. Adjust or replace.
(3) Bracket (cable) or stay (PHV) is deformed. Repair or replace.
5. Vehicle cannot start after stoppage.
(1) Return spring is fatigued or broken. Replace.
(2) PHV lever won’t return. Replace entire PHV assembly.
(3) When intentionally depressing brake pedal strongly:[When the brake pedal is depressed by a force of 1,177 N (120
kg, 265 lb) or more.]
6. Abnormal sound is generated upon releasing brake pedal when stopping.
(1) Rotor and pad matched with each other due to inadequate
depressing force to brake pedal.(Abnormal sound is not generated when depressing brake pedal a
little stronger.)
7. Abnormal sound is generated when operating clutch pedal.
(1) Grease is inadequate for the hook of return spring and slid-
ing portion of PHV cable end.Apply grease.
(2) When releasing after maintaining high fluid pressure: (Flowing sound of fluid when releasing high fluid pressure.)
(3) Clutch system is anomalous. Refer to“Clutch and pedal cable system”.
CAUTION:

Description in parentheses is a characteristic of hill holder and does not indicate abnormality.
Depressing force required for clutch pedal equipped to hill holder specifications is 20 to 29 N (2 to 3 kg, 4 to 7 lb) larger than
the conventional specifications, which does not constitute abnormality.

When vehicle cannot travel (brake cannot be released) because return spring is broken, remove adjusting nut, disconnect
clutch and PHV, and then return PHV lever to release the brake. (Be sure to apply the parking brake before starting this opera-
tion.)

The hill holder may not be activated on a slope of an extremely small inclination.
