GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The owners are responsible for these maintenance and inspection items.
They can be done by the owner or they can have them done at a service shop.
These items include those which should be checked on a daily basis, those which, in most cases, do not
require (special) tools and those which are considered to be reasonable for the owner to do.
Items and procedures for general maintenance are as follows.
1. GENERAL NOTES
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 performed.
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 interval (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 increase exhaust emissions.
2. TIRES
(a) Check the pressure with a gauge.
If necessary, adjust.
(b) Check for cuts, damage or excessive wear.
3. WHEEL NUTS
When checking the tires, check the nuts for looseness or for missing nuts.
If necessary, tighten them.
4. TIRE ROTATION
Check the owner’s manual supplement in which the maintenance schedule is shown.
5. WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Check for wear or cracks whenever they do not wipe clean.
If necessary, replace.
6. FLUID LEAKS
(a) Check underneath for leaking fuel, oil, water or other fluid.
(b) If you smell gasoline fumes or notice any leak, have the cause found and corrected.
7. DOORS AND ENGINE HOOD
(a) Check that all doors and the tailgate operate smoothly, and that all latches lock securely.
(b) Check that the engine hood secondary latch secures the hood from opening when the primary latch
is released.

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 interval (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 increase 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 see−through reservoir.
4. RADIATOR AND HOSES
(a) Check that the front of the radiator is clean and not blocked with leaves, 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 upper and lower level lines on the case.
6. BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID LEVELS
Check that the brake and clutch fluid levels are near the upper level line on the see−through reservoirs.
7. ENGINE DRIVE BELTS
Check all drive belts 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 temperature.
10. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
(b) With the engine idling and the parking brake applied, shift the selector into all positions from the P to
L, and then shift into the P position.
(c) Pull out the dipstick and wipe off the fluid with a clean rag. Re−insert the dipstick 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 until the engine cools down (approx. 30 min.) before checking the fluid level after extended driving at
high speeds, in hot weather, in heavy traffic or pulling a trailer.
11. EXHAUST SYSTEM
(a) Visually inspect for cracks, holes or loose supports.
(b) If any change in the sound of the exhaust or smell of the exhaust fumes is noticed, have the cause
located and corrected.

5. CHECK RING GEAR RUNOUT
(a) Install the differential case onto the carrier and install the
2 plate washers to fill the play in the bearing (See page
SA−57).
(b) Install 2 bearing caps (See page SA−57).
(c) Using a dial indicator, measure the runout of ring gear.
Maximum runout: 0.07 mm (0.0028 in.)
6. INSTALL DRIVE PINION FRONT AND REAR BEARING
OUTER RACES
(a) Using SST and a press, install the front side of the outer
race.
SST 09950−60020 (09951−00710),
09950−70010 (09951−07150)
(b) Using SST and a press, install the rear side of the outer
race.
SST 09950−60020 (09951−00790),
09950−70010 (09951−07150)
7. INSTALL DRIVE PINION FRONT BEARING
(a) Install the washer on the drive pinion.
HINT:
First fit a washer with the same thickness as the washer which
was removed, then after checking the tooth contact pattern, re-
place the washer with one of a different thickness if necessary.
(b) Using SST, install the front bearing onto the drive pinion.
SST 09506−30012
8. TEMPORARILY ADJUST DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
(a) Install the drive pinion, rear bearing and oil slinger.
HINT:
Assemble the spacer and oil seal after adjusting the gear con-
tact pattern.
(b) Using SST, install the companion flange.
SST 09950−30010
(c) Coat the threads of the nut with hypoid gear oil.
(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:
As there is no spacer, tighten the nut a little at a time, being
careful not to overtighten it.
