EACH TIME THE OIL IS CHANGED
Brake System Inspection
This inspection should be done when the wheels are re-
moved for rotation. Inspect the lines and the hoses for
proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. In-
spect the disc brake pads for wear. Inspect the rotors for
surface condition. Inspect other brake parts, the parking
brake, etc., at the same time. Inspect the brakes more
often if habit or conditions result in frequent braking.
Steering, Suspension and Front Drive Axle
Boot And Seal Inspection
Inspect the front and rear suspension and the steering
system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs of
wear or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering
line and the hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and inspect the drive axle
boot and seals for damage, tears or leakage. Replace
the seals if necessary.
Exhaust System Inspection
Inspect the complete system (including the catalytic
converter if equipped). Inspect the body near the ex-
haust system. Look for broken, damaged, missing, or
out -- of -- position parts as well as open seams, holes,
loose connections, or other conditions which could
cause heat buildup in the floor pan or could let exhaust
fumes seep into the trunk or passenger compartment.
Throttle Linkage Inspection
Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding,
damaged, or missing parts. Lubricate all linkage joints
and throttle cable joints, the intermediate throttle shaft
bearing, the return spring at throttle valve assembly, and
the accelerator pedal sliding face with suitable grease.
Check the throttle cable for free movements.
Engine Drive Belts
Inspect all belts for cracks, fraying, wear and proper ten-
sion. Adjust or replace the belts as needed.
Hood Latch Operation
When opening the hood, note the operation of the sec-
ondary latch. It should keep the hood from opening all
the way when the primary latch is released. The hood
must close firmly.
AT LEAST ANNUALLY
Lap and Shoulder Belts Condition and Operation
Inspect the belt system including: the webbing, the
buckles, the latch plates, the retractor, the guide loops
and the anchors.
Movable Head Restraint Operation
On vehicles with movable head restraints, the restraints
must stay in the desired position.
Spare Tire and Jack Storage
Be alert to rattles in the rear of the vehicle. The spare
tire, all the jacking equipment, and the tools must be se-
curely stowed at all times. Oil the jack ratchet or the
screw mechanism after each use.
Key Lock Service
Lubricate the key lock cylinder.
Body Lubrication Service
Lubricate all the body door hinges including the hood,
the fuel door, the rear compartment hinges and the
latches, the glove box and the console doors, and any
folding seat hardware.
Underbody Flushing
Flushing the underbody will remove any corrosive mate-
rials used for ice and snow removal and dust control. At
least every spring clean the underbody. First, loosen the
sediment packed in closed areas of the vehicle. Then
flush the underbody with plain water.
Engine Cooling System
Inspect the coolant and freeze protection fluid. If the
fluid is dirty or rusty, drain, flush and refill the engine
cooling system with new coolant. Keep the coolant at
the proper mixture in order to ensure proper freeze
protection, corrosion protection and engine operating
temperature. Inspect the hoses. Replace the cracked,
swollen, or deteriorated hoses. Tighten the clamps.
Clean the outside of the radiator and the air conditioning
condenser. Wash the filler cap and the neck. Pressure
test the cooling system and the cap in order to help en-
sure proper operation.

FUEL SYSTEM
The function of the fuel metering system is to deliver the correct amount of fuel to the engine under all operating condi-
tions. The fuel is delivered to the engine by the individual fuel injectors mounted into the intake manifold near each
cylinder.
The main fuel control sensors are the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor and the oxygen (O2) sensors.
The MAF sensor monitors the mass flow of the air being drawn into the engine. An electrically heated element is
mounted in the intake air stream, where it is cooled by the flow of incoming air. Engine Control Module (ECM) modu-
lates the flow of heating current to maintain the temperature differential between the heated film and the intake air at a
constant level. The amount of heating current required to maintain the temperature thus provides an index for the
mass air flow. This concept automatically compensates for variations in air density, as this is one of the factors that
determines the amount of warmth that the surrounding air absorbs from the heated element. MAF sensor is located
between the air filter and the throttle valve.
Under high fuel demands, the MAF sensor reads a high mass flow condition, such as wide open throttle. The ECM
uses this information to enrich the mixture, thus increasing the fuel injector on-- time, to provide the correct amount of
fuel. When decelerating, the mass flow decreases. This mass flow change is sensed by the MAF sensor and read by
the ECM, which then decreases the fuel injector on-- time due to the low fuel demand conditions.
The O2 sensors are located in the exhaust pipe before catalytic converter. The O2 sensors indicate to the ECM the
amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas, and the ECM changes the air/fuel ratio to the engine by controlling the fuel
injectors. The best air/fuel ratio to minimize exhaust emissions is 14.7 to 1, which allows the catalytic converter to
operate most efficiently. Because of the constant measuring and adjusting of the air/fuel ratio, the fuel injection system
is called a “closed loop” system.
The ECM uses voltage inputs from several sensors to determine how much fuel to provide to the engine. The fuel is
delivered under one of several conditions, called ‘‘modes”.
Starting Mode
When the ignition is turned ON, the ECM turns the fuel pump relay on for 1 second. The fuel pump then builds fuel
pressure. The ECM also checks the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor and the Throttle Position (TP) sensor
and determines the proper air/fuel ratio for starting the engine. This ranges from 1.5 to 1 at -- 36°C(--33°F) coolant
temperature to 14.7 to 1 at 94°C (201°F) coolant temperature. The ECM controls the amount of fuel delivered in the
starting mode by changing how long the fuel injector is turned on and off. This is done by ‘‘pulsing” the fuel injectors for
very short times.
Run Mode
The run mode has two conditions called ‘‘open loop” and ‘‘closed loop”.
Open Loop
When the engine is first started and it is above 690 rpm, thesystem goes into “open loop” operation. In “open loop”, the
ECM ignores the signal from the HO2S and calculates the air/fuel ratio based on inputs from the ECT sensor and the
MAF sensor. The ECM stays in “open loop” until the following conditions are met:
DThe O2 has a varying voltage output, showing that it is hot enough to operate properly.
DThe ECT sensor is above a specified temperature (22.5°C).
DA specific amount of time has elapsed after starting the engine.
Closed Loop
The specific values for the above conditions vary with different engines and are stored in the Electronically Erasable
Programmable Read -- Only Memory (EEPROM). When these conditions are met, thesystem goes into “closed loop”
operation. In “closed loop”, the ECM calculates the air/fuel ratio (fuel injector on-- time) based on the signals from the
O2 sensors. This allows the air/fuel ratio to stay very close to 14.7 to 1.
Acceleration Mode
The ECM responds to rapid changes in throttle position and airflow and provides extra fuel.
Deceleration Mode
The ECM responds to changes in throttle position and airflow and reduces the amount of fuel. When deceleration is
very fast, the ECM can cut off fuel completely for short periods of time.

EXHAUST SYSTEM
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to convert the three pollutants of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC)
and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) contained in the exhaust of gasoline engines, into the harmless compounds of water
(H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2).
The catalytic converter contains a catalyst, a word coming from the Greek and which designates the element essential
for catalyst which triggers chemical reactions without itself being consumed.
These catalysts in the 3 -- way catalytic converter are the rare metals platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh).
The catalytic converter consists essentially of three main elements. The exhaust gases flow through the catalytic con-
verter and, in so doing, coming into contact with rare metals (Pt and Rh).
The following chemical reaction are produced.
CO + O2→CO2
HC + O2→CO2 + H2O
NOx→N2 + O2

Circuit Description
In order to control emissions, a catalytic converter is used to covert harmful emissions into harmless water vapor and
carbon dioxide. The ECM has the ability to monitor this process by using a oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor pro-
duces and output signal which indicates the storage capacity of the catalyst. This in turn indicates the catalyst’s ability
to convert exhaust emission effectively. If the oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged. Do not
attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly, it must have a clean air
reference provided to it. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor wire(s). Any attempt to repair
the wires, connector, or terminal and degrade the oxygen sensor performance.
