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. LIGHTS
(a) Check that the headlights, stop lights, taillights, turn signal lights, and other lights are all working.
(b) Check the headlight aim.
3. WARNING LIGHTS AND BUZZERS
Check that all warning lights and buzzers function properly.
4. HORN
Check that it is working.
5. WINDSHIELD
Check for scratches, pits or abrasions.
6. WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
(a) Check operation of the wipers and washer.
(b) Check that the wipers do not streak.
7. WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER
Check that air comes out from the defroster outlet when operating the heater or air conditioner.
8. REAR VIEW MIRROR
Check that it is mounted securely.
9. SUN VISORS
Check that they move freely and are mounted securely.
10. STEERING WHEEL
Check that it has the specified freeplay. Be alert for changes in steering condition, such as hard steering,
excessive freeplay or strange noises.
11. SEATS
(a) Check that all front seat controls such as seat adjusters, seatback reliner, etc. operate smoothly.
(b) Check that all latches lock securely in any position.
(c) Check that the locks hold securely in any latched position.
(d) Check that the head restraints move up and down smoothly and that the locks hold securely in any
latched position.
(e) For fold-down rear seat backs, check that the latches lock securely.
12. SEAT BELTS
(a) Check that the seat belt system such as the buckles, retractors and anchors operate properly and
smoothly.
(b) Check that the belt webbing is not cut, frayed, worn or damaged.

ABS Warning Light Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
If the ECU detects trouble, it lights the ABS warning light while at the same time prohibiting ABS control. At
this time, the ECU records a DTC in memory.
After removing the short pin of the DLC1, connect between terminals Tc and E
1 of the DLC1 to make the
ABS warning light blink and output the DTC.

PRE-CHECK
1. SRS WARNING LIGHT CHECK
(a) Turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON and check that the
SRS warning light lights up.
(b) Check that the SRS warning light goes out after approx.
6 seconds.
HINT:

When the ignition switch is at ACC or ON and the SRS
warning light remains on or flashes, the airbag sensor as-
sembly has detected a malfunction code.

If, after approx. 6 seconds have elapsed, the SRS warn-
ing light sometimes lights up or the SRS warning light
lights up even when the ignition switch is OFF, a short in
the SRS warning light circuit can be considered likely.
Proceed to ºSRS warning light system malfunctionº on
page DI-180, DI-182.
2. DTC CHECK (Using diagnosis check wire)
(a) Output the DTC.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON position
and wait approx. 20 seconds.
(2) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E1 of the
DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
NOTICE:
Never make a mistake with the terminal connection posi-
tion as this will cause a malfunction.
(b) Read the DTC.
Read the 2-digit DTC as indicated by the number of times
the SRS warning light blinks. As an example, the blinking
patterns, normal, 11 and 31 are as shown on the illustra-
tion.

Normal code indication.
The light will blink 2 times per second.

Malfunction code indication.
The first blinking output indicates the first digit
of a 2-digit DTC. After a 1.5 second pause,
the second blinking output will indicate the
second digit.

SRS Warning Light System Malfunction (Always lit up when igni-
tion switch is in LOCK position.)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS warning light is located on the combination meter.
When the SRS is normal, the SRS warning light lights up for approx. 6 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned from the LOCK position to ACC or ON position, and then turns off automatically.
If there is a malfunction in the SRS, the SRS warning light lights up to inform the driver of the abnormality.
When terminals Tc and E1 of the DLC1 are connected, the DTC is displayed by the blinking of the SRS warn-
ing light.
