ON-VEHICLE INSPECTIONIM33FHAD1. WARNING INDICATION BY ECS INDICATOR LIGHT
If a problem associated with the following items occurs, theECS indicator light (Tour Sport) in the combination light
flashes at intervals of 0.5 sec. At the same time, the
self-diagnosis code associated with the problem is outputto the diagnosis connector.
Warning Indication Items
l G sensor
l Steering angular velocity sensor
l Vehicle speed sensor
lDamping force changeover actuator (including position
detection switch)
2. SELF-DIAGNOSIS OUTPUT CHECK
(I) Check the self-diagnosis code.
(2) After the defective portion has been repaired, erase theself-diagnosis code. (If the defective portion is not
completely repaired, it may be impossible to erase the’self-diagnosis code by the MUT.)d
(3) Perform self-diagnosis output check again and checkthat the self-diagnosis code is good.
(1) Set the ignition switch to OFF.
(2) Connect the positive (+) terminal of the voltmeter to
the No. 3 terminal of the diagnosis connector beside the
junction block and connect the negative (--) terminal ofthe voltmeter to the No. 12 terminal.
(3) Set the ignition switch to ON.
(4) Read the self-diagnosis code on the basis of the
deflection of the pointer of the voltmeter.
(5) Based on the self-diagnosis code, repair the associated
defective portion.(6) Set the ignition switch to OFF.
(7) Disconnect the battery cables from the battery termi-
nals and reconnect them more than
10 seconds
thereafter.(8) Set the ignition switch to ON, perform self-diagnosis
check again, and check that the self-diagnosis code is
good.

Using the MUT, check all control functions during operationwith the vehicle in stationary condition.
5-1. Anti-Roll Control Function Check:d
(1) Raise the front wheels on a jack and have them supportedby rigid racks.
(2) Place the steering wheel in straight ahead position.
(3) Select the Tour mode by the ECS switch.
(4) Enter a simulated vehicle speed of 100 km/h (62 mph) fromthe MUT.
(5) Using the MUT, check the indications of service data itemsNo. 61 through 64.
MUT indication: SOFT
12FOO64(6) Turn the steering wheel clockwise or counterclockwise
from the straight ahead position.
(7) Using the MUT, check that the indications of service dataitems No. 61 through 64 change over.
Approx. 0.2 seconds for 90” rotation
(8) Check that the original damping force indication (SOFT) isrestored a second later.
5-2. Anti-Dive Control Function Check
(1) Select the Tour mode by the ECS switch.
(2) Enter a simulated vehicle speed of 100 km/h (62 mph) fromthe MUT.
(3) Using the MUT, check the indications of service data itemsNo. 61 through 64.
MUT indication: SOFT
(4) Depress the brake pedal and simultaneously change the
entered simulated vehicle speed by the MUT. (Change thespeed in 0.4 seconds after depressing the brake pedal.)
(5) Using the MUT, check that the indications of service dataitems No. 61 through 64 change over.
Changing entered simulated

100 km/h (62 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph)HARD
(6) Check that the original damping force indication (SOFT) isrestored a second later.
Ls5-3. Anti-Squat Control Function Check
(1) Select the Tour mode by the ECS switch.
(2) Enter a simulated vehicle speed of 30 km/h (19 mph) fromthe
MUT.
(3) Using the MUT, check the indications of service data itemsNo. 61 through 64.

To adjust camber, turn the lower arm mounting bolt
(cross-

NOTE(1) Make the adjustment with the assist link mounting bolt
(crossmember side) loosened.
(2) The difference between the right and left wheels should be30’ or less.

NOTE
(1) The difference between right and left wheels should be 3mm (.I2 in.) or less.
(2) Left wheel: Clockwise (toe-in)
Right wheel: Clockwise (toe-out)
One graduation changes toe by about 4.8 mm

.
Caution1. Adjust the eccentric bolt within 90” from the central
position.
2.Adjust camber and toe, in that order, and, if camber isadjusted, be sure to adjust toe also.

WHEEL BEARING END PLAY INSPECTIONM34FBAG
1.Inspect the play of the bearings while the vehicle is jackedup and resting on floor jack.
2. Remove the hub cap and then release the parking brake.
s&i3. Remove the caliper assembly and the brake disc.
4. Check the bearing’s end play.
Place a dial gauge against the hub surface; then move the
hub in the axial direction and check whether or not there is
end play.Limit: 0.05 mm
(.002 in.) or less
NOTEIf the limit value is exceeded, the lock nut should be
tightened to the specified torque and check the end play
again.5. Replace the rear hub bearing unit if an adjustment cannot
be made to within the limit.

4.After turning the hub a few times to seat the bearing, attach
a spring balance to the hub bolt, and, pulling at a 90” anglefrom the hub bolt, measure to determine whether or not
the rotary-sliding resistance of the rear hub (the
rotary-sliding torque of the rear hub) is the standard value.
Limit:
Rear hub rotary-sliding resistance
31 N (7 Ibs.) or lessRear hub rotary-sliding torque
