4B2±15 DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (TOD)
7. Slowly start the vehicle in the 4L mode, and
accelerate to at least 20 km/h. Apply the brake to
completely stop the vehicle.
If the CHECK lamp starts blinking during the test run, read
the trouble codes and give appropriate maintenance
according to the fault diagnostic procedure. If the TOD
indicator lamps are lit abnormally during the run, check
the lighting condition and give appropriate maintenance
according to the fault diagnostic procedure. Even if the
phenomena are not observed, try to reproduce the
abnormal state reported by the customer to the possible
extent.
Post-Repair Check
As long as the starter is not turned off, the TOD indicator
lamps continue blinking even after the failed control unit is
repaired. Therefore, upon completion of repair, be sure to
turn off the starter switch once and then turn on it to
conduct the test run sequence specified in steps 1
through 6 above and check that the TOD indicator lamps
no longer show any faulty status.

General Description
This publication contains essential removal, installation,
adjustment and maintenance procedures.
The front axle utilizes a central disconnect type front
axle/transfer case system.
The drive axles are completely flexible assemblies,
consisting of inner and outer constant velocity (CV) drive
shaft joints connected by an axle shaft.
For description of propeller shaft and universal joint, refer
to Front/Rear Propeller Shaft in this section.

5C – 14 POWER ASSISTED BRAKE SYSTEM
CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL
1. Pedal height (L3) must be measured after starting
the engine and removing it several times to apply
vacuum to the vacuum booster fully.
NOTE:
Pedal height (L3) must be 100 mm (3.9 in)/85 mm (3.5
in) (LHD/RHD) or more when about 50 kg (110.25 lb)
of stepping force is applied.
2. If the measured value is lower than the above
range, air existing in the hydrauic system is
suspected and perform bleeding procedure.
FRONT AND REAR DISC BRAKE PADS
INSPECTION
Check the outer pad by looking at each caliper from
above. Check the thickness on the inner pad by
looking down through the inspection hole in the top of
the caliper. Whenever the pad is worn to about the
thickness of the pad base, the pad should be removed
for further measurements. The pad should be
replaced anytime the pad thickness (t) is worn to
within 1.0 mm (0.039 in) of the pad itself.
The disc pads have a wear indicator that makes a
noise when the pad wears to where replacement is
required.
Minimum Limit mm (in)
1.0 (0.039)
SERVICING THE FRONT BRAKE ROTOR
In the manufacturing of the front brake rotor, all the
tolerances regarding surface finish, parallelism and
lateral runout are held very closely. The maintenance
of these tolerances provide the surface necessary to
assure smooth brake operation.
LATERAL RUNOUT
Lateral runout is the movement of the rotor from side
to side as it rotates on the spindle. This could also be
referred to as “rotor wobble”.
This movement causes the piston to be knocked back
into its bore. This results in additional pedal travel and
a vibration during braking.
t

5C – 16 POWER ASSISTED BRAKE SYSTEM
PARALLELSIM
Parallelism is the measurement of the thickness of the
rotor at four or more points around the circumference
of the rotor. All measurements must be made at 22 mm
(0.87 in) from the edge of the rotor.
The rotor thickness must not vary more than 0.010
mm (0.0004 in) from point to point.
Maximum Parallelism Variation mm (in)
0.010 (0.0004)
REPLACING REAR BRAKE ROTORS
When installing new brake rotors, do not refinish the
surfaces. These parts are at the correct level of surface
finish.
REFINISHING REAR BRAKE ROTORS
Accurate control of the rotor tolerances is necessary
for proper performance of the disc brakes. Machining
of the rotor should be done only with precision
equipment. All brake rotors have a minimum
thickness dimension cast into them. This dimension is
the minimum wear dimension and not a refinish
dimension. The minimum wear dimension is 16.60
mm (0.654 in). The refinish dimension is 16.97 mm
(0.668 in).
When refinishing rotors, always use sharp cutting
tools or bits. Dull or worn tools leave a poor surface
finish which will affect initial braking performance.
SERVICING THE REAR BRAKE ROTOR
In the manufacturing of the rear brake rotor, all the
tolerances regarding surface finish, parallelism and
lateral runout are held very closely. The maintenance
of these tolerances provide the surface necessary to
assure smooth brake operation.
LATERAL RUNOUT
Lateral runout is the movement of the rotor from side
to side as it rotates on the spindle. This could also be
referred to as “rotor wobble”.
This movement causes the piston to be knocked back
into its bore. This results in additional pedal travel and
a vibration during braking.
CHECKING LATERAL RUNOUT
1. Attach a dial indicator to some portion of the
suspension so that the stem contacts the rotor
face about 22 mm (0.87 in) from the rotor edge.
2. Move the rotor one complete rotation.
•The lateral runout should not exceed 0.13 mm
(0.005 in).
Maximum Runout mm (in)
0.13 (0.005)

5C – 32 POWER ASSISTED BRAKE SYSTEM
(4) When the front brake system fails.
When there is a failure in the front brake system,
the fluid pressure from the front master cylinder
decreases. As a result, the balance between the
front and rear brake side fluid pressures is lost at
the control valve sleeve so that the control valve
sleeve moves upwards.
The control valve sleeve strikes against the piston,
thereby pushing the piston upwards.
Accordingly, the fluid pressure of the rear master
cylinder is not decreased and is applied directly to
the rear wheel cylinder to secure a sufficient
braking performance of the rear brakes. (See the
left figure.)
Valve Maintenance
In the case of fluid leak or other abnormalities, faulty
valve should be replaced.
Note:
The load sensing proportioning valve is not
repairable and must be replaced as a complete
assembly.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE OF LSPV
1. Adjust the rear axle weight by loading the
laggage compartmemt as necessary.
Rear Axle Weight N (kg / lb)
10,300 (1,050 / 2,315)
Note:
The rear axle weight should be adjusted to the
specified value with a man seated in the driver seat.

4. Install fuel filler cap
5. Connect the battery ground cable.
Inspection
After installation, start engine and check for fuel leakage.
In±Tank Fuel Filter
The filter is located on the lower end of fuel pickup tube in
the fuel tank. It prevents dirt from entering the fuel pipe
and also stops water unless the filter is completely
submerged in the water. It is a self cleaning type, not
requiring scheduled maintenance. Excess water and
sediment in the tank restricts fuel supply to the engine,
resulting in engine stoppage. In such a case, the tank
must be cleaned thoroughly.
Fuel Pump Flow Test
If reduction of fuel supply is suspected, perform the
following checks:
1. Make sure that there is fuel in the tank.
2. With the engine running, check the fuel feed pipe and
hose from fuel tank to injector for evidence of
leakage. Retighten, if pipe or hose connection is
loose. Also, check pipes and hoses for squashing or
clogging.
3. Insert the hose from fuel feed pipe into a clean
container, and check for fuel pump flow rate.4. Connect the pump relay terminals with a jumper
wire(1) as shown and start the fuel pump to measure
delivery.

6D3±18STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM
Charging System
General Description
The IC integral regulator charging system and its main
components are connected as shown in the illustration.
The regulator is a solid state type and it is mounted along
with the brush holder assembly inside the generator
installed on the rear end cover.
The generator does not require particular maintenance
such as voltage adjustment.
The rectifier connected to the stator coil has eight diodes
to transform AC voltage into DC voltage.
This DC voltage is connected to the output terminal of
generator.
General On±Vehicle Inspection
The operating condition of charging system is indicated
by the charge warning lamp. The warning lamp comes on
when the starter switch is turned to ªONº position. The
charging system operates normally if the lamp goes off
when the engine starts.
If the warning lamp shows abnormality or if undercharged
or overcharged battery condition is suspected, perform
diagnosis by checking the charging system as follows:
1. Check visually the belt and wiring connector.
2. With the engine stopped, turn the stator switch to
ªONº position and observe the warning lamp.
If lamp does not come on:
Disconnect wiring connector from generator, and
ground the terminal ªLº on connector side.
If lamp comes on:
Repair or replace the generator.
