GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. GENERAL NOTICE
Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner’s manual supplement in which
the maintenance schedule is shown.
Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performe\
d.
Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in\
the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time inter\
val (months).
Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval \
as before unless
otherwise noted.
Failure to do even one item can cause the engine to run poorly and incre\
ase exhaust emissions.
2. WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
Check that there is sufficient fluid in the tank.
3. ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL Check that the coolant level is between the FULL and LOW lines on the se\
e −through reservoir.
4. RADIATOR AND HOSES
(a) Check that the front of the radiator is clean and not blocked with leave\
s, dirt or bugs.
(b) Check the hoses for cracks, kinks, rot or loose connections.
5. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Check that the electrolyte level of all battery cells is between the upp\
er and lower level lines on the case.
If level is low, add distilled water only.
6. BRAKE FLUID LEVELS
Check that the brake fluid level is near the upper level line on the see\
−through reservoir.
7. ENGINE DRIVE BELTS
Check drive belt for fraying, cracks, wear or oiliness.
8. ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check the level on the dipstick with the engine turned off.
9. POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
(a) Check the level on the dipstick.
(b) The level should be in the HOT or COLD range depending on the fluid temp\
erature.
10. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
(b) With the engine idling and the parking and foot brake applied, shift the sel\
ector into all positions from the P to L, and then shift into the P.
(c) Pull out the dipstick and wipe off the fluid with a clean rag. Re −insert the dipstick fully and check that
the fluid level is in the HOT range.
(d) Do this check with the fluid at normal driving temperature (70 − 80°C (158 − 176° F)).
HINT:
Wait about 30 minutes before checking the fluid level after extended driving\
at high speeds in hot weather,
driving in heavy traffic or with a trailer.
11. EXHAUST SYSTEM
Visually inspect for cracks, holes or loose supports.
If any change in the sound of the exhaust or smell of the exhaust fumes is\
noticed, have the cause located
and corrected.

(d) Adjust the drive pinion preload by tightening the compan-
ion flange nut.
Using SST to hold the flange, tighten the nut.
SST 09330−00021
NOTICE:
Coat the nut and screw of the drive pinion with gear oil. As
there is no spacer, tighten a little at a time, being careful not
to overtighten.
(e) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload. Preload (at starting):
New bearing
1.3 − 2.0 N·m (13 − 20 kgf·cm, 11.3 − 17.4 in.·lbf)
Reused bearing
0.7 − 1.0 N·m (7 − 10 kgf·cm, 6.1 − 8.7 in.·lbf)
HINT:
Measure the total preload after first turning the bearing clock-
wise and counterclockwise several times to make the bearing
smooth.
10. w/o DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CASE IN CARRIER
(a) Place the 2 bearing outer races on their respective bear- ings. Make sure that the left and right outer races are not
interchanged.
(b) Install the case in the carrier.
HINT:
Make sure that there is backlash between the ring gear and
drive pinion.
11. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CASE IN CARRIER
(a) Place the 2 bearing outer races on their respective bear- ings. Make sure that the left and right races are not inter-
changed.
(b) Install the assembled plate washer onto the side bearing.
(c) Install the differential case in the carrier.
(d) Make the plate washer and bearing smooth by tapping on
the ring gear with a plastic hammer.
HINT:
If it is difficult to install the differential case into the carrier, re-
place the plate washer with a thinner one.
However, select a plate washer that allows no clearance be-
tween it and the carrier.
