NOTE:
Always adjust two rear sash adjusting bolts

Aby the same
amount. Do not adjust the adjusting bolts with sash bracket
inclined toward inner panel, as this increases effort
required to operate regulator.
2) Adjust front sash fit using rear sash adjustment proce-
dure outlined above as a guide. Two adjusting bolts must
be adjusted by the same amount.
NOTE:
Front and rear sash adjustment procedures are basically
the same; however, the amount of adjustment is not always
the same due to alignment dispersion of individual doors.
Adjust front and rear sash fit, as equally as possible.
Otherwise, effort required to operate regulator may
increase.
3) After adjusting front sash-to-glass fit, secure front sash.

4) When tester indicates 12 volts when its probe reaches
point“A”, a broken circuit occurs between point“A”and the
negative terminal. Slowly move tester probe toward the
negative terminal while contacting it on heat wire to locate
point where tester indication changes abruptly (0 volts).
This is the point where a broken circuit occurs.
When tester indicates 0 volts when its probe reaches point
“A”, a broken circuit occurs between point“A”and the posi-
tive terminal. Locate a point where tester indication
changes abruptly (12 volts) while slowly moving tester
probe toward the positive terminal.

1. PREPARATIONS FOR THE INSPECTION MODE
Raise the vehicle using a garage jack and place on safety
stands or drive the vehicle onto free rollers.

FULL-TIME AWD MODELS
WARNING:

Before raising the vehicle, ensure parking brakes
are applied.

Do not use a pantograph jack in place of a safety
stand.

Secure a rope or wire to the front and rear towing or
tie-down hooks to prevent the lateral runout of front
wheels.

Do not abruptly depress/release clutch pedal or
accelerator pedal during works even when engine is
operating at low speeds since this may cause vehicle
to jump off free rollers.

In order to prevent the vehicle from slipping due to
vibration, do not place any wooden blocks or similar
items between the safety stands and the vehicle.
