CHASSIS
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT STEERING LINKAGE
(a) Check the steering linkage for looseness or damage.
Check that the tie rod ends do not have excessive
play.
Check that the boot clamps are not loose.
(b) Inspect the dust cover for damage.
2. INSPECT SRS AIRBAG (Driver airbag: See page RS−9 )
(Front passenger airbag: See page RS−23 )
3. INSPECT STEERING GEAR HOUSING OIL
Check the steering gear housing for oil leakage.
If leakage is found, check for cause and repair.
4. INSPECT OIL LEVEL IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
(See page DI−131 )
5. INSPECT OIL LEVEL IN TRANSFER AND DIFFEREN- TIAL
(a) Transfer: Remove the filler plug and feel inside the hole with your
finger. Check that the oil comes to within 5 mm (0.20 in.)
of the bottom edge of the hole.
If the level is low, add oil until it begins to run out of the filler hole.
Oil drade: API GL −4 or GL−5
Viscosity: 75W−90
(b) Differential: Remove the filler plug and feel inside the hole with your
finger. Check that the oil comes to within 5 mm (0.20 in.)
of the bottom edge of the hole.
If the level is low, add oil until it begins to run out of the filler hole.
Oil drade: Hypoid gear oil API GL −5
Viscosity:
Above −18°C (0° F) SAE 90
Below −18°C (0° F) SAE 80W−90 or 80W
6. REPLACE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (See page DI−3)

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
Use the table below to help you find the cause of the problem. The numbers \
indicate the priority of the likely
cause of the problem. Check each part in order. If necessary, replace these parts.
(w/ Differential locking system):
Check that center differential lock mode is set.
When switching differential Free↔Lock, the indicator lamp will blink if the gears of the differen-
tial lock sleeve are not meshed. If this occurs, when the tires are rotated \
to apply differential
power to the differential, the differential locks and the indicator lamp\
light up.

(c) 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:
As there is no spacer, tighten a little at a time, being careful
not to overtighten.
(d) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload. Preload (at starting):
New bearing
0.9 − 1.6 N·m (10 − 16 kgf·cm, 8.7 − 13.9 in.·lbf)
Reused bearing
0.5 − 0.8 N·m (5 − 8 kgf·cm, 4.3 − 6.9 in.·lbf)
HINT:
Measure the total preload after first turning the bearing clock-
wise and counterclockwise several times to mark the bearing
smooth.
12. w/o DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CASE IN CARRIER
(a) Place the bearing outer races on their respective bear- ings. Make sure the left and right outer races are not inter-
changed.
(b) Install the case in the carrier.
HINT:
Make sure that there is backlash between the ring gear and
drive pinion.
13. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CASE IN CARRIER
(a) Apply MP grease on the rack of the shift fork and connect- ing part of the indicator switch.
(b) Insert the shift fork into the differential carrier, as shown.
(c) Install outer races, adjusting nuts and left side to sleeve.
HINT:
Check that the sleeve moves smoothly.
(d) Install the shift fork in the groove of the sleeve holding it by hand and install the case in the carrier.
HINT:
Make sure that there is backlash between the ring gear and
drive pinion.

5. CHECK SIDE GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial indicator, measure the side gear backlash with
holding one pinion gear toward the case.
Backlash: 0.02 − 0.20 mm (0.0008 − 0.0079 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specification, install the correct
thrust washers (See page SA−87).
6. CHECK TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN RING GEAR
AND DRIVE PINION (See page SA−35 )
7. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: REMOVE INDICATOR SWITCH
Remove the indicator switch and gasket.
8. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: REMOVE COVER
(a) Remove the 3 bolts.
(b) Using a brass bar and hammer, tap on the cover to re- move it.
9. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: REMOVE SLEEVE
(a) Remove the 4 bolts.
(b) Using a plastic hammer, tap the actuator.
(c) Remove the actuator and sleeve.
10. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: REMOVE ACTUATOR AND SHIFT FORK AND SHAFT
(a) Remove the shift fork shaft bolt.
(b) Pull out the actuator and remove the shift fork.
11. REMOVE COMPANION FLANGE
(a) Using a chisel and hammer, unstick the nut.
(b) Using SST to hold the flange, remove the nut and plate washer.

(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.
