3. CLEAR MEMORY MODE
Clear the DTC stored in the airbag control module
after repairing the airbag system and occupant de-
tection system. (After the breakdown is recovered,
the breakdown code for completed recoveries are
read out when the next breakdown occurs if the
memory clear work is not performed.)
1) On the «Main Menu» display screen, select the
{Each System Check} and press the [YES] key.

4. SYSTEM CALIBRATION (REZEROING)
NOTE:
When replacing the occupant detection system, or
removing and disassembling the passenger’s seat,
always perform the system calibration after install-
ing a seat in the vehicle.
CAUTION:
When the trouble occurs in the system during
calibration process, “Occupant detection cali-
bration failure” is detected in the DTC 2A of the
airbag system and the airbag warning light
lights. In this case, after turning the ignition
switch to OFF once, redo the system calibration
(Rezeroing), or after clearing the cause of the
failure, perform the system calibration again.
1) Park empty vehicle on a level surface.
2) On the «Main Menu» display screen, select the
{Each System Check} and press the [YES] key.
3) On the «System Selection Menu» display
screen, select the {Occupant Detection System}
and press the [YES] key.
4) On the Occupant Detection System display
screen, select the {Zero Point Adjustment} and
press the [YES] key.
5) “See service manual. And check vehicle condi-
tion for successfully completing the rezeroing.” is
displayed. Check the following to adjust the condi-
tion of the vehicle.
•Adjust the seat backrest to be vertical. (Press the
power seat switch to put the seat in a position
where it will not move.)
•Adjust the seat sliding position to all the way
back. (Press the power seat switch to put the seat
in a position where it will not move.)
•Do not place anything on the top of the seat
cushion.
•Sit on the seat cushion to smooth the seat sur-
face.
•Check that the passenger’s seat belt is not in-
serted into the buckle, not tense or not stuck.
•Check that ambient temperature is in a range
from 0 to 40°C.
6) When the «Re-zeroing Adjust the passenger
seat to the condition shown in service manual» is
displayed, slide the passenger seat all the way to
the back, check that the backrest is adjusted to all
the way up, and press the [YES] key.
7) When the «Re-zeroing Unbelt the Passenger
seatbelt Continue: YES, Quit: NO» is displayed,
make sure the passenger’s seatbelt is disconnect-
ed from the buckle and press the [YES] key.
8) When the «Re-zeroing Empty the passenger
seat Continue: YES, Quit: NO» is displayed, make
sure that the passenger’s seat is empty, air bag
OFF indicator illuminates and air bag ON indicator
does not illuminate, and press the [YES] key.
NOTE:
•After pressing the [YES] key, «Now processing
.... Wait for a while. Do not touch or give impact to
vehicle and seat» is displayed. Do not touch or rock
the vehicle while the message is displayed.
•During the system calibration process, if the
«Re-zeroing is unsuccessful See service manual
Press YES to END» is displayed, go to step 10).
9) When the re-zeroing is ended normally, the«Re-
zeroing is successfully completed Press YES to
END» is displayed. Press the [YES] key and turn

4. BRUSH
1) Measure the length of each brush. If wear ex-
ceeds the service limit, replace the brush. Each
brush has the service limit mark (A) on it.
Brush length:
Service limit (1)
5.0 mm (0.197 in)
Standard (2)
18.5 mm (0.728 in)
2) Checking brush spring for proper pressure
Using a spring pressure indicator, push the brush
into the brush holder until its tip protrudes 2 mm
(0.08 in). Then measure the pressure of brush
spring. If the pressure is less than 2.2 N (224 g, 7
91 oz), replace the brush spring with a new one.
The new spring must have a pressure of 4.8 to 6.0
N (489 to 612 g, 17.26 to 21.58 oz).
5. BEARING (FRONT SIDE)
Check the front ball bearing. If the resistance is felt
while rotating, or abnormal noise is heard, replace

1) When the tread has worn down to 1.8 mm (2/
0.071 in) or the wear indicator appears across the
tread, replace the tire. (Replace the right and left
tire as a set.)
2) If the tire appears to be worn unevenly, adjust
the wheel alignment.
3) Next, make a tire rotation between front and rear
as shown in the figure, make sure tires are worn
evenly.

6) Tighten the adjusting screw to 3.9 N·m (0.40 kgf-
m, 2.9 ft-lb) and then loosen 20°.
7) Install the lock nut. While holding the adjusting
screw with wrench, tighten the lock nut using ST.

Tightening torque (lock nut):
25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.1 ft-lb)
Hold the adjusting screw with wrench to prevent it
from turning while tightening the lock nut.
4. TIE-ROD
1) Check the tie-rod and tie-rod ends for bends,
scratches or other damage.
2) Check the connections of knuckle ball joints for
play, inspect for damage on dust seals, and check
free play of ball studs. If the castle nut is loose, re-
tighten it to the specified torque, then tighten it fur-
ther up to 60°until the cotter pin hole is aligned.
Tightening torque:
27 N·m (2.75 kgf-m, 19.9 ft-lb)
3) Check the lock nut on the tie-rod for tightness. If
it is loose, retighten it to the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
85 N·m (8.7 kgf-m, 63 ft-lb)
5. POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
NOTE:
•At power steering fluid temperature 20°C (68°F);
read the fluid level on the “COLD” side.
•At power steering fluid temperature 80°C
(176°F); read the fluid level on the “HOT” side.
1) Place the vehicle with engine “OFF” on a level
surface.
2) Check the fluid level using the scale on the out-
side of the reservoir tank. If the level is below MIN,
add fluid to bring it up to MAX.
NOTE:
If fluid level is at MAX level or above, drain fluid to
keep the level in the specified range of indicator by
using a syringe or the like.
Recommended fluid:
Refer to “RM” section. RECOMMENDED MATERIALS, Recommend-
ed Materials.>
Fluid capacity:
0.9 2 (1.0 US qt, 0.8 Imp qt)
6. POWER STEERING FLUID FOR LEAKS
Inspect the underside of oil pump and gearbox of
power steering system, hoses, pipes and their cou-
plings for fluid leaks.
If the fluid leaks are found, retighten their fitting
bolts (or nuts) and/or replace their parts.
NOTE:
•Wipe the leaked fluid off after correcting fluid
leaks.
•Also pay attention to clearances between hoses
(or pipes) and other parts when inspecting fluid
leaks.
