Before performing the trouble diagnosis, check that the transfer and front differential are in good condition and
there is no air leakage from air hoses and the actuator. Refer to ªON-VEHICLE SERVICEº in this section for air
leakage.
[NOTES ON SYSTEM CIRCUIT INSPECTION]

Be sure to read ªPrecautions for Electrical Circuit Serviceº in Section 0A before circuit inspection and observe
what is written there.

For system circuit, refer to the figure of ªGENERAL DESCRIPTIONº in this section.

NOTE:

When having driven through water, check immediately if wa-
ter has entered (if so, oil is cloudy). Water mixed oil must be
changed at once.

Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other service work than
oil change, also be sure to check for oil leakage and status
of breather hoses.
Gear Oil Change
NOTE:

Hypoid gear oil must be used for differential.

It is highly recommended to use SAE 80W ± 90 viscosity.
1) Before oil change or inspection, be sure to stop engine and lift
up vehicle horizontally.
2) Check oil level and existence of leakage. If leakage is found, cor-
rect its cause.
3) Drain old oil and pour proper amount of gear oil as specified be-
low (roughly up to level hole).
4) Apply sealant to thread of drain plug (b) and torque plugs to
specification.

BACK DOOR / REAR GATE ASSEMBLY
REMOVAL
1) Remove back door trim, and door / rear gate sealing cover, refer
to steps 1) to 4) of BACK DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY in this sec-
tion.
2) Remove wire harness connector inside the back door / rear gate.
3) Remove back door / rear gate balancer (first at its door-side and
next at its body-side), as shown.
WARNING:
Handling of Back Door / Rear Gate Balancer (Damper)

Do not disassemble balancer because its cylinder is
filled with gas.

The gas itself is harmless but it may issue out of the
hole together with chips generated by the drill.
Therefore, be sure to wear goggle.

When discarding removed back door / rear gate balanc-
er (damper), use a 2 to 3 mm (0.08 to 0.12 in.) drill to
make a hole as shown.

Handle balancer carefully. Do not scar or scratch ex-
posed surface of its piston rod, and never allow any
paint or oil to stick to its surface.

Do not turn piston rod with balancer fully extended.
5) Remove back door / rear gate hinge bolts and back door / rear
gate.

24) Temporarily store the seat belt pretensioner. At that time, be
sure NOT to face its exhaust hole provided side down. It must
face up. Refer to ªService Precautionsº in this section for de-
tails.
25) Contact your local distributor for further assistance.
DEPLOYED AIR BAG (INFLATOR)
MODULES DISPOSAL
WARNING:
Failure to follow proper air bag (inflator) module disposal
procedures can result in air bag deployment which may
cause personal injury. Undeployed air bag (inflator) module
must not be disposed of through normal refuse channels.
The undeployed air bag (inflator) module contains sub-
stances that can cause severe illness or personal injury if
the sealed container is damaged during disposal.
Deployed air bag (inflator) modules (driver/passenger) can be dis-
posed of through normal refuse channels just like any other parts.
For their disposal, however, following points should be noted.

The air bag (inflator) module immediately after deployment is very
hot. Wait for 30 minutes to cool it off before handling it.

Never apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (inflator) module
to cool it off and be careful so that water, oil etc. does not get on
the deployed air bag (inflator) module.

After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, the surface
of the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This powder con-
sists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it in-
flates) and byproducts of the chemical reaction. As with many ser-
vice procedures, you should wear gloves and safety glasses.

When disposing of the deployed air bag (inflator) module, be sure
to seal it in a vinyl bag.

When air bag (inflator) module(s) have been deployed inside the
vehicle which is going to be scrapped, leave them as installed to
the vehicle.

Be sure to wash your hands with mild soap and water after han-
dling it.
