MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
MAINTENANCE AND
LUBRICATION
NORMAL VEHICLE USE
The maintenance instructions contained in the mainte-
nance schedule are based on the assumption that the
vehicle will be used for the following reasons:
DTo carry passengers and cargo within the limitation of
the tire inflation prassure. Refer to “Tire and Wheel” in
section 2E.
DTo be driven on reasonable road surfaces and within
legal operating limits.
EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE SERVICES
The services listed in the maintenance schedule are fur-
ther explained below. When the following maintenance
services are performed, make sure all the parts are re-
placed and all the necessary repairs are done before
driving the vehicle. Always use the proper fluid and lubri-
cants.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change
Always use above the API SH grade or recommended
engine oil.
Engine Oil Viscosity
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel
economy and cold weather operation. Lower viscosity
engine oils can provide better fuel economy and cold
weather performance; however, higher temperature
weather conditions require higher viscosity engine oils
for satisfactory lubrication. Using oils of any viscosity
other than those viscosities recommended could result
in engine damage.
Cooling System Service
Drain, flush and refill the system with new coolant. Refer
to “Recommended Fluids And Lubricants“ in this sec-
tion.
Air Cleaner Element Replacement

tions.
Fuel Filter Replacement
Replace the engine fuel filter every.
DGasoline Engine : 60,000km (36,000 miles)
DDiesel Engine : 45,000km (24,000 miles)
Spark Plug Replacement
Replace spark plugs with same type.
DType : BOSCH : F8DC4
BERU : 14F-- 8DU4
Champion : C11YCC
DGap : 0.8±0.1 mm
Spark Plug Wire Replacement
Clean wires and inspect them for burns, cracks or other
damage. Check the wire boot fit at the Distributor and at
the spark plugs. Replace the wires as needed.
Brake System Service
Check the disc brake pads or the drum brake linings.
Check the pad and the lining thickness carefully.
Tire and Wheel Inspection and Rotation
Check the tires for abnormal wear or damage. To equal-
ize wear and obtain maximum tire life, rotate the tires. If
irregular or premature wear exists, check the wheel
alignment and check for damaged wheels. While the
tires and wheels are removed, inspect the brakes.

FUEL SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
Use Only Unleaded Fuel Rated at 89
Octane or Higher
Fuel quality and additives contained in fuel have a s ig n if i-
cant effect on power output, drivability, and life of the en-
gine.
Fuel with too low an octane number can cause engine
knock.
Caution: Use of fuel with an octane number lower
than 89 may damage engine and exhaust system.
Notice:To prevent accidental use of leaded fuel, the
nozzles for leaded fuel are larger, andwill not fit the fuel
filler neck of your vehicle.
Do Not Use Methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should not be
used in vehicle.This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and
damage components of the fuel system.
Caution: Use of methanol may damage the fuel sys -
tem.
Vehicle Fueling from Drums or Storage
Containers
For safety reasons (particularly when using noncom-
mercial fueling systems) fuel containers, pumps and
hoses must be properly earthed.
Static electricity build up can occur under certain atmo-
spheric and fuel flow conditions if unearthed hoses, par-
ticularly plastic, are fitted to the fuel-- dispensing pump.
It is therefore recommended that earthed pumps with in-
tegrally earthed hoses be used, and that storage con-
tainers be properly earthed during all noncommercial
fueling operations.

CLEARING FAILURE CODES
Notice:To prevent Engine Control Module (ECM) damage, the key must be OFF when disconnecting or reconnecting
the power to the ECM (for example battery cable, ECM pigtail connector, ECM fuse, jumper cables, etc.)
Parameters listed in the table may not be exactly the same as your reading due to the type of instrument or other
factors. If a failure code is displayed during the “TROUBLE CODE” in scan tool check mode, check the circuit for the
code listed in the table below. For details of each code, turn to the page referred to under the “See Page” for the re-
spective “Failure Code” in the below table.
Failure codes should be cleared after repairs have been completed.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR
YAA1F250
This Electronic Ignition (EI) system uses inductive or pickup type magnetic Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor. The
CKP sensor is located in the opposite side of the crankshaft pulley and triggers the pick-up wheel teeth which is
equipped 60 -- 2 teeth with a gap of 2 teeth at 360 degree spacing. This sensor protrudes through its mount to within 1.1
±0.14 mm.
The output of the sensor is a sinusoidal signal. Each tooth of the pick-up 60 -- 2 wheel generates a positive half wave.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses this sensor signal to generate timed ignition and injection pulses that it sends
to the ignition coils and to the fuel injectors.

Notice:Before removal, the fuel rail assembly may be
cleaned with a spray-type cleaner, following package in-
structions. Do not immerse the fuel rails in liquid clean-
ing solvent. Use care in removing the fuel rail assembly
to prevent damage to the electrical connectors and in-
jector spray tips. Prevent dirt and other contaminants
from entering open lines and passages. Fittings should
be capped and holes plugged during service.
Important:If an injector becomes separated from the
rail and remains in the cylinder head, replace the injector
O-ring seals and the retaining clip.
12. Remove the injectors and the fuel rail carefully.
13. Remove the fuel injector retainer clips.
14. Remove the fuel injectors by pulling them down and
out.
15. Discard the fuel injector O-rings.
16. Lubricate the new fuel injector O-rings with engine
oil. Install the new O-rings on the fuel injectors.
17. Perform a leak check of the fuel rail and fuel injec-
tors.
18. Installation should follow the removal procedure in
the reverse order.
