Brake Booster
BRAKE
Air tightness check
Start the engine, and idle it for 1 to 2 minutes, then
turn it OFF. Depress the brake pedal several times
applying the normal pedal force. The pedal stroke
should be the longest at the 1st depression, and it
should become shorter at each successive depres-
sion. If no change occurs in the pedal height when
pressed, the brake booster is faulty.
NOTE:
•In case of defective operation, inspect the condi-
tion of the check valve and vacuum hose as well.
•Replace them if faulty, and perform the test
again.
•If the defective condition is not improved, check
accurately using a gauge.
Operation check
1) While the engine is OFF, depress the brake ped-
al several times applying the same pedal force, to
check for a change in pedal height.
2) With the brake pedal pressed, start the engine.
3) As the engine starts, the brake pedal should
move slowly toward the floor. If the pedal height
does not change, the brake booster is faulty.
NOTE:
If faulty, perform an accurate check with a gauge.
Loaded air tightness check
Depress the brake pedal while the engine is run-
ning, and turn the engine OFF while the pedal is de-
pressed. Keep the pedal depressed for 30
seconds. If the pedal height does not change, the
function of brake booster is normal. If the pedal
height increases, it is faulty.
NOTE:
If faulty, perform an accurate check with a gauge.
2. OPERATION CHECK (WITH GAUGE)
CAUTION:
When checking operation, be sure to apply the
parking brake securely.

Power Steering Fluid
POWER ASSISTED SYSTEM (POWER STEERING)
9. Power Steering Fluid
A: SPECIFICATION
B: INSPECTION
1) Check the power steering fluid for deterioration
or contamination. If the fluid is highly deteriorated
or contaminated, drain it and refill with new fluid.
2) Check the joints and units for oil leakage. If any
oil leaks are found, repair or replace the applicable
part.
3) Inspect the fluid level of reservoir tank with vehi-
cle on level surface and engine stopped.
If the level is at “MIN. ” point or below, add fluid to
keep the level in the specified range of the indica-
tor. If at “MAX. ” point or above, drain fluid by using
a syringe or the like.
(1) Check at power steering fluid temperature
20°C (68°F); read the fluid level on the “COLD”
side.
(2) Check at power steering fluid temperature
80°C (176°F); read the fluid level on the “HOT”
side.
C: REPLACEMENT
1) Lift-up the vehicle.
2) Remove the crossmember support.
3) Remove the pipe joint in the center of gearbox,
and connect the vinyl hose to the pipe and joint.
Wipe fluid off while turning the steering wheel.
4) Add the specified fluid to reservoir tank at “MAX”
level.
5) Continue to turn the steering wheel slowly from
lock to lock until the bubbles stop appearing on oil
surface while keeping the fluid at the level in the
Step 4).
6) If the steering wheel is turned in a low fluid level
condition, air will be sucked into the pipe. If sucked,
leave it about half an hour and then do the step 5)
again.
7) Start the engine and let it idle.
8) Continue to turn the steering wheel slowly from
lock to lock again until the bubbles stop appearing
on oil surface while keeping the fluid at the level in
Step 4).
Normally bubbles will stop appearing after turning
the steering wheel from lock to lock three times.
9) In case bubbles do not stop appearing in the
tank, leave it about half an hour and then do the
step 4) all over again.
10) Lower the vehicle, and then idle the engine.
11) Continue to turn the steering wheel from lock to
lock until the bubbles stop appearing and change of
the fluid level is within 3 mm (0.12 in).
12) In case the following happens, leave it about
half an hour and then do step 8) to 11) again.
(1) The fluid level changes over 3 mm (0.12 in).
(2) Bubbles remain on the upper surface of the
fluid.
(3) Grinding noise is generated from oil pump.
13) Check the fluid leakage after turning steering
wheel from lock to lock with engine running.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Detecting Criteria
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AQ:DTC P0139 O2 SENSOR CIRCUIT SLOW RESPONSE (BANK 1 SENSOR 2)
1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Detect the slow response of the oxygen sensor.
Judge as NG if either the rich to lean response diagnosis or lean to rich response diagnosis is NG, and Judge
as OK if both are OK.
[Rich → Lean diagnosis response]
1. Measure the response time for oxygen sensor output changes when the A/F ratio changes to rich to lean.
If the measured response time is larger than the threshold value, it is NG. If it is smaller, it is OK.
2. Judge as NG when the oxygen sensor voltage is large (rich) when recovering from a deceleration fuel cut.
[Lean → Rich diagnosis response]
1. Measure the response time for oxygen sensor output changes when the A/F ratio changes to lean to rich.
If the measured response time is larger than the threshold value, it is NG.
2. Judge as NG when the oxygen sensor voltage remains small when recovering from a deceleration fuel cut.
Diagnostic method
Measure the response time of the output change of the oxygen sensor when the A/F ratio changes to rich to
lean. And Judge as NG when the measured response time is larger than the threshold value.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
4. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE
Perform the diagnosis only once when deceleration fuel cut occurs after rapid acceleration. (Pay attention to
the oxygen sensor voltage for the timing of the deceleration.)
5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD
When the rear oxygen sensor output voltage changes from 0.55 V (rich) to 0.25 V (lean), calculate the min-
imum response time for output change between 0.5 V and 0.3 V for the judgment criteria.
Abnormality Judgment
1) Judge as NG when the judgment value is larger than the threshold value after deceleration fuel cut.
Response time (diagnosis value) > threshold value → abnormal
NOTE:
Variation time of rear oxygen sensor output voltage is short during fuel shut-off in deceleration. NG judgment
should be performed with the condition of deceleration fuel cut. Even without deceleration fuel cut, judge as
OK if the value is below the threshold.
When the deceleration fuel cut off time is more than 6 seconds, judge as NG if the following criteria are met
2 seconds after recovering from the deceleration fuel cut.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2) Judge as NG when the oxygen sensor voltage at recovery from a deceleration fuel cut, is large.
If the fuel cut time in a deceleration fuel cut is long (more than 6 s), and even after recovering from a decel-
eration fuel cut, the oxygen sensor voltage is high (0.55 V or more), judge as NG.
Time Needed for Diagnosis: 1 time
Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates when malfunctions occur in 2 continuous driving cy-
cles.
Normality Judgment
1) Regardless of a deceleration fuel cut, if the response time (diagnosis value) when the oxygen sensor volt-
age has changed from rich to lean is shorter than the threshold value (judgment value), judge as a normal
condition.
Response time (diagnosis value) ≤ threshold value → normal
2) Do not judge as a normal condition.
Judge as OK when the criteria below are met.

•When the OK idling cycle is completed 40 times in a row
•When “Clear Memory” is performed
7. MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CLEAR CONDITIONS
•When the OK driving cycle is completed 3 times in a row
•When “Clear Memory” is performed
