REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
ACALIPER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Secure the removed caliper assembly with wire, so that it
does not fall.
BDRIVE SHAFT NUT REMOVAL
Caution
Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel bearing
while loosening the drive shaft nut.
CTIE ROD END DISCONNECTION

Caution
(1) Use the special tool to loosen the nut only; do not
remove it from the ball joint.
(2) Tie the special tool with a cord not to let it fall off.
DDRIVE SHAFT REMOVAL
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT
ADRIVE SHAFT NUT INSTALLATION
(1) Install the drive shaft washer in the specified direction.
(2) Using the special tool, tighten the drive shaft nut.
Caution
Before securely tightening the drive shaft nuts, make
sure there is no load on the wheel bearings.
(3) If the position of the split pin holes does not match, tighten
the nut up to the first matching holes.
Install the split pin and bend it securely.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING CONDITIONS
Before starting the troubleshooting procedure, make sure that the following items have been checked
okay.
The correct steering wheel has been properly installed in the neutral position of the steering column
shaft.
Tire and wheel sizes are correct with correct specifications. Inflation pressure, balance, and wear
conditions are okay.
Wheel alignment is correct.
The engine, suspension, and other parts have not been remodeled so as to affect the AYC system.
2. DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
READING THE DIAGNOSIS CODE
Read the diagnosis code using AYC warning lamp.
