L-4GoodOOA0051C9FW1014K512(9) Supply 4 liters (8.5 pints) of specified ATF into case
through dipstick hole. [Total quantity of ATF required is
6.1 liters (12.9 pints).
Actually however, approx. 4.5 liters (9.5 pints) of fluid
can be replaced because rest of fluid remains in torque
converter.]Specified fluid: MOPAR ATF PLUS (Automatic
Transmission Fluid Type 7176) or
Dia ATF SP or Equivalent
(10)Start engine and allow to idle for at least two minutes.
Then, with parking brake on, move selector lever
momentarily to each position, ending in “N” Neutral
position.
(1 l)Add sufficient ATF to bring fluid level to lower mark.
Recheck fluid level after transaxle is at normal operating
temperature.
Fluid level should be between upper and lower marks of“HOT” range. Insert dipstick fully to prevent dirt from
entering transaxle.
11 .ENGINE COOLANT (Change)NOOSBEAcCheck the cooling system parts, such as radiator, heater,
and oil cooler hoses, thermostat and connections for
leakage and damage.
CHANGE COOLANT
1. Remove the radiator cap.
2. Loosen the drain plug to drain the coolant.
3. Drain the coolant from the reserve tank.
4. After draining the coolant, tighten the drain plug
securely.
5.Supply the coolant into the radiator until it is filled up to
its filler neck.
6. Supply the coolant into the reserve tank.
7. After warming the engine until the thermostat opens,
remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level.
8.Supply the coolant into the radiator until it is filled up to
its filler neck, and install the
.radiator, cap securely.
9.Fill the reserve tank with coolant up to the “FULL” line.12DISC BRAKE PADS (Inspect for wear)
NOOSBFA~Check for fluid contamination and wear. Replace complete
set of pads if defective.
Caution
The pads for the right and left wheels should be
replaced at the same time. Never “split” or intermix
brake pad sets.
All four pads must be replace as a complete set.

5-42BRAKES - Service Adjustment Procedures
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR CHECKNO5FBAB(1) Connect a circuit tester to the brake fluid level sensor.
4(2) Move the float from top to bottom and check for
.-,’continuity.
(3) The brake fluid level sensor is in good condition if there is
no continuity when the float surface is above “A”, and if
there is continuity when the float
surface is below “A”.
PARKING BRAKE LEVER STROKE CHECK NWFEAJ
1.Pull the parking brake lever with a force of approx. 200 N(45
Ibs.), and count the number of notches.
Caution
The 200 N (45 Ibs.) force of the parking brake lever must
be strictly observed.
Standard value: 5-7 notches
2.If the parking brake lever stroke is not the standard value,
adjust as described below.
(1) Remove the carpet in the floor console.
(2) Loosen the adjusting nut to the end of the cable rod,
fithus freeing the parking brake cable.
(3) With the engine idling, firmly depress the brake pedal
five or six times and confirm that the pedal stroke stops
changing.
NOTEIf the pedal stroke stops changing, it indicates that the
automatic adjusting mechanism has functioned proper-ly to adjust the clearance between the pads and the
disc to the correct value.
(4) Check to be sure that the clearance between the
stopper and the parking brake lever at the caliper side isas shown in the figure.
NOTEIf the clearance between the parking brake lever and
the stopper exceeds 2 mm
(078 in.), the probable
causes are brake cable sticking, improper wiring, or a
malfunction of the automatic adjuster (within the rear
brake caliper), so it is necessary to check the parking
-brake cable and to disassemble and check the rear
-brake caliper.
(5) Turn the adjusting nut to adjust the parking brake lever
stroke to within the standard value range.

FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD CHECK AND REPLACE-
MENiNWFOAF
NOTE
The brake pads have wear indicators that contact the brake discd’when the brake pad thickness becomes 2 mm
(.08 in.), and
emit a squealing sound to warn the driver.
1. Check brake pad thickness through caliper body check
port.Limit: 2.0 mm
(.08 in.)
Caution1. When the limit is exceeded, replace the pads at
both sides, and also the brake pads for the wheelson the opposite side at the same time.
2.If there is a significant difference in the thicknesses
of the pads on the left and right sides, check the
sliding condition of the piston, lock pin sleeve and
guide pin sleeve.
2.Remove lock or guide pin. Lift caliper assembly and retain
with wires.
Caution
Do not wipe off the special grease that is on the guide
-pin or allow it to contaminate the guide pin.
3. Remove the following parts from caliper support.

14A0407FRONT BRAKE DISC RUN-OUT
CORRECTIO&wAB
1.If the run-out of the brake disc is equivalent to or exceeds 5the limit specification, change the phase of the disc and
-’hub, and then measure the run-out again.
(1) Before removing the brake disc, chalk both sides of the
wheel stud on the side at which run-out is greatest.
(2) Remove the brake disc, and then place a dial gauge as
shown in the illustration; then move the hub in the axialdirection and measure the play.
Limit: 0.008 mm
(00031 in.)
If the play is equivalent to or exceeds the limit,
disassemble the hub knuckle and check each part.
(3) If the play does not exceed the limit specification, and
then check the run-out of the brake disc once again.
Mount the brake disc on the position dislocated from
the chalk mark.

2.If the run-out cannot be corrected by changing the phase-ofI’the brake disc, replace the disc.
