Backlash Inspection
1. Place the dilferential assembly on V-blocks and in-
stall both axles.
2. Check backlash of both pinion gears.
Standard lNsw): 0.05 - 0.15 mm {0.(Xt2 - o.(Xl6 in)
3. lf the backlash is not within the standard, reDlace
the differential carrier.

Bearing Replacement
NOTE: Check the bearings for wear and rough rotation
lf the bearings are OK, removal is not necessary.
1. Remove the ball bearings using a bearing puller'
Install the new ball bearings using the special tool
with a press as shown.

NOTE: lf the clearance between the gauge body
and adjusting nut is 0.4 mm (0.02 in), the pushrod-
to-piston clearance is 0 mm. However, if the clear-
ance between the gauge body and adjusting nut is
0 mm, the pushrod-to-piston clearance is 0.4 mm(0.02 in) or more. Therefore it must be adjusted and
rechecked.
lf clearance is incorrect, loosen the star locknut and
turn the adjuster in or out to adjust.
NOTE:
. Adjust the clearance while the specified vacuum
is applied to the booster.
. Hold the clevis while adjusting.
Tighten the star Iocknut securely.
Remove the special tool.

Brake Booster Inspection
Functions Tgst
1. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal
several times to deplete the vacuum reservoir, then
depress the pedal hard and hold it for 15 seconds. ll
the pedal sinks, either the master cylinder is
bypassing internally; or the brake system (master
cylinder, lines, modulator proportioning valve, orcaliper) are leaking.
Start the engine with the pedal depressed. lf thepedal sinks slightly, the vacuum booster is operat-
ing normally. lf the pedal height does not vary, the
booster or check valve is faulty.
With the engine running, depress the brake pedal
lightly. Apply just enough pressure to hold back
automatic transmission creep, lf the brake pedal
sinks more than 25 mm (1.0 in.) in three minutes,
the master cylinder is faulty. A slight change inpedal height when the A,,/C compressor cycles on
and off is normal. (The A/C compressor load
changes the vacuum available to the booster.)
Leak Test
1. Depress the brake pedal with the engine running,
then stop the engine. lf the pedal height does not
vary while depressed for 30 seconds, the vacuum
booster is OK. lf the pedal rises, the booster is
fau lty.
2. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal
several times using normal pressure. When thepedal is first depressed, it should be low. On con-
secutive applications, the pedal height should grad-
ually rise. lf the pedal position does not vary, check
the booster check valve.
Boostor Ch€ck Valve T6st
1. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose at the
booster,
Start the engine and let it idle. There should be vac-
uum available. It no vacuum is available. the check
valve is not working properly. Replace the brake
booster vacuum hose and check valve, and retest.

Starting System
Starter Test (cont'dl
Check Cranking rpmr
Engine speed during cranking should be above 1OO rpm.
lJ speed is too low, check for:
a Loose batlery or starter terminals
a Excessively worn starter brushes
a Open circuit in commutator segments
a Dirty or damaged helical spline or drive gear
a Defective drive gear overrunning clutch
Check Starter Disengagement:
Press the clutch pedal all the way in (M/T), turn rhe igni
tion switch to "lll" and release to "11".
The starter drive gear should disengage from the flywheel
or torque converter ring gear when you release the key.
It the drive gear hangs up on the flywheel or torque con-
verter ring gear, check for:
a Solenoid plunger and switch mallunction
a Dirty drive gear assembly or damaged overrunning
clutch
5. Check for an open in the BLK/WHT wire circuit be
tween the starter and ignition switch, and con-
necrors,
6. Check the ignition switch (see page 23-71).
7. On cars with automatic transmission, check the A/Tgear position switch (neutral position switch) and
connector. On cars with manualtransmission, check
the starter cut relay, clutch interlock switch, and
connectors.
NOTE: Check the No. 42 (40 A) fuse in the under,hoodfuse/relay box for the starter cut relay.
Check Jor Wear and Damage:
The starter should crank the engine smoothly and stead,ily. lf the starter engages, but cranks the engine errati
cally, remove it. Inspect the starter, drive gear, andllywheel or torque converter ring gear lor damage.
a Check the drive gear overrunning clutch for binding
or slipping when the armature is rotated with the drivegear held. Replace the gears i{ damaged.
Check CJanking Voltage and Current Draw:
Cranking voltage should be no less than 8.O volts.
Current draw should be no more than * amperes.* 1.2 kW: 27O A
1 .4 kW: 360 A
It cranking voltage is too low, or current draw too high,check for:
a Dead or low charged batterya Open circuit in starter armature commutator segmentsa Starter armalure dragging
a Shorted armature windinga Excessive drag in engine

Back-up Lights
Test
Manual Transmission:
NOTE: Check the No. 19 (7.5 A) fuse in the underdash
fuse/relay box before testing.
Test the back-up light switch by placing the shift
lever in reverse and turning the ignition switch to ON
fl r).
lI the back-up lights do not go on, check the back-
up light bulbs in the taillight assembly.
lI the fuse and bulbs are oK, disconnect the connec-
tor from the back-up light switch.

Move the lever back and torth at the E position
without touching the push button, and check for
continuity between the C and D terminals. There
should be continuity within the range of free play of
the shilt lever.
a lf there is no continuity within the range of free
play, adiusl the position ot the A/T gear position
switch {see section 14}.
a lf there is continuity, but the back-up lights do not
go on,check tor:- Poor ground {G5O3)- An open in the wire
