Exhaust  System  Inspection 
Inspect the complete  exhaust  system. Inspect the body 
near the  exhaust system. Look  for  broken,  damaged, 
missing  or out-of-position  parts as well as open  seams, 
holes,  loose  connections,  or other conditions which 
could  cause a heat  build-up in the floor pan or  could  let 
exhaust  fumes into the vehicle.  See  “Engine Exhaust” in 
the Index. 
Throttle  Linkage  Inspection 
Inspect the throttle  linkage  for interference  or binding, 
and  for damaged or missing parts.  Replace parts as 
needed. Accelerator and  cruise control  should not 
be 
lubricated. 
Brake  System  Inspection 
Inspect  the complete  system. Inspect  brake lines and 
hoses  for  proper  hookup, binding,  leaks, cracks, chafing, 
etc. Inspect disc  brake  pads  for  wear and rotors for 
surface  condition.  Also  inspect  drum brake linings for 
wear and  cracks. Inspect  other brake parts, including 
drums,  wheel cylinders,  calipers, parking brake,  etc. 
Check parking brake adjustment.  You may need  to have 
your  brakes  inspected more 
often if your driving habits 
or  conditions  result  in frequent  braking.
