2. Oil should be applied to the moving components
of parts
3. Specified oil or grease should be applied at the
prescribed locations (oil seals, etc.) before as-
sembly.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Be sure to disconnect the battery cable from the nega-
tive (-) terminal of the battery.
Never pull on the wiring when disconnecting con-
nectors.
When locking connectors, make sure to listen for a
click that will let you know they are securely locked.
Handle sensors and relays carefully. Be careful not
to drop them or strike them against other parts.

4A CONTROL SYSTEM
ENGINE CONTROL UNIT
Check the engine control unit terminal voltages with
a voltmeter.
Caution
a) Warm up the engine before checking the
control unit.
b) If the proper voltage is not obtained, check
the wiring, connections and finally, check
the component.

4B TROUBLESHOOTING WITH SST
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Connect the SST to the check connector, (Green,
6-pin) and the negative battery terminal.
2. Set the select switch to position A.
Note
The check connector is located at the rear of
the left side wheel housing.

Test connector: Green (1 pin)
3. Ground the test connector (Green, 1-pin) with a
jumper wire.
Note
The test connector is located near the Self-
Diagnosis Checker check connector.

4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
5. Verify that 88 flashes on the digital display and that
the buzzer sounds for three seconds after turn-
ing the ignition switch ON.
6. If 88 does not flash, check the main relay (Refer
to page 4B—86), power supply circuit, and check
connector wiring.
7. If 88 flashes and the buzzer sounds continuously
for more than 20 seconds, replace the engine con-
trol unit and perform steps 3 and 4 again.
8. Note the code numbers and check for the causes
by referring to the check sequences shown on
pages from 4B—14 to 4B—24. Repair as
necessary.
Note
Cancel the code numbers by performing the
after-repair procedure after repairing.
AFTER-REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Cancel the memory of malfunctions by disconnect-
ing the negative battery cable and depressing the
brake pedal for at least 2 seconds; then recon-
nect the negative battery cable.
