GENERAL – Precautions Before Service00-15
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE SERVICE
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
1. Items to follow when servicing SRS
(1) Be sure to read GROUP 52B – Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
For safe operations, please follow the directions and heed all warnings.
(2) Always use the designated special tools and test equipment.
(3) Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cable before doing any further work.
The SRS system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag even after the battery
has been disconnected. Serious injury may result from unintended air bag deployment if work
is done on the SRS system immediately after the battery cable is disconnected.
(4) Never attempt to disassemble or repair the SRS components. (SRS air bag control unit, air bag
module and clock spring.) If faulty, replace it.
(5) Warnings labels must be needed when servicing and handling SRS components. Warning labels
are located in the following locations.
Sun visor
Glove box
SRS air bag control unit
Steering wheel
Steering gear and linkage
Air bag module
Clock spring
(6) Store components removed from the SRS in a clean and dry place.
The air bag module should be stored on a flat surface and placed so that the pad surface is
facing upwards.
(7) Be sure to deploy the air bag before disposing of air bag module or disposing of a vehicle equipped
with an air bag. (Refer to GROUP 52B – Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.)
(8) Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check the SRS warning lamp operation to make sure
that the system functions properly.
2. Observe the following when carrying out operations on place where SRS components are installed,
including operations not directly related to the SRS air bag.
(1) When removing or installing parts do not allow any impact or shock to the SRS components.
(2) SRS components should not be subjected to heat over 93C, so remove the SRS components
before drying or baking the vehicle after painting.
After re-installing them, check the SRS warning lamp operation to make sure that the system
functions properly.

GENERAL – Precautions Before Service00-16
SERVICING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Before replacing a component related to the electrical system
and before undertaking any repair procedures involving the
electrical system, be sure to first disconnect the negative
(–) cable from the battery in order to avoid damage caused
by short-circuiting.
Caution
Before connecting or disconnecting the negative (–) cable,
be sure to turn off the ignition switch and the lighting
switch.
(If this is not done, there is the possibility of
semiconductor parts being damaged.)
APPLICATION OF ANTI-CORROSION AGENTS
AND UNDERCOATS
If oil or grease gets onto the oxygen sensor, it will cause
a drop in the performance of the sensor.
Cover the oxygen sensor with a protective cover when applying
anti-corrosion agents and undercoats.
PRE-INSPECTION CONDITION
“Pre-inspection condition” refers to the condition that the
vehicle must be in before proper engine inspection can be
carried out. If you see the words “Set the vehicle to the
pre-inspection condition.” in this manual, it means to set the
vehicle to the following condition.
Engine coolant temperature: 80–90C
Lamps, electric cooling fan and all accessories: OFF
M/T: Neutral
VEHICLE WASHING
If high-pressure car-washing equipment or steam car-washing
equipment is used to wash the vehicle, be sure to note the
following information in order to avoid damage to plastic
components, etc.
Spray nozzle distance: Approx. 40 cm or more
Spray pressure: 3,900 kPa or less
Spray temperature: 82C or less
Time of concentrated spray to one point: within 30 sec.
Approx.
40 cm

GENERAL – Precautions Before Service00-17
MUT-II
Refer to the MUT-II INSTRUCTION MANUAL for instructions
on handling the MUT-II.
Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector as shown
in the illustration.
Caution
Connection and disconnection of the MUT-II should
always be made with the ignition switch in the OFF
position.

GENERAL – Special Handling Instruments for Towing00-20
SPECIAL HANDLING INSTRUMENTS FOR TOWING
Towing methodsRemarks
If a tow truck is used
Lifting method for 4 wheels – GoodFor 4WD models, the basic principle is that all
four wheels are to be raised before towing.
The shift lever should be set to 1st gear and
the parking brake should be applied.
Front wheels lifted – No goodThe vehicle must not be towed by placing only
its front wheels or only the rear wheels on a
rolling dolly, because to do so will result in
deterioration of the viscous coupling and result
in the viscous coupling causing the vehicle to
jump forward suddenly.
Front wheels lifted – No goodIf only the front wheels or only the rear wheels
are lifted for towing, the bumper will be damaged.
In addition, lifting of the rear wheels causes
the oil to flow forward, and may result in heat
damage to the rear bushing of the transfer, and
so should never be done.
Rear wheels lifted – No good
Towing by rope or cable – GoodThe front and rear wheels must rotate normally.
Both running and driving systems must function
normally.
The shift lever must be set to the neutral position
and the ignition key must be set to “ACC”.

GENERAL – Brake Test00-21
BRAKE TEST
In order to stabilize the viscous coupling’s dragging force,
the brake test should always be conducted after the
speedometer test.
FRONT WHEEL MEASUREMENTS
1. Place the front wheels on the brake tester.
2. Perform the brake test.
Caution
The rear wheels should remain on the ground.
3. If the brake dragging force exceeds the specified value,
jack up the vehicle and manually rotate each wheel to
check the rotation condition of each wheel.
NOTE
If the brake dragging force exceeds the specified value,
the cause may be the effect of the viscous coupling’s
dragging force, so jack up the front wheels and check
the rotation condition of the wheels in this state for no
effect by the viscous coupling’s dragging force.
REAR WHEEL MEASUREMENTS
After placing the rear wheels on the brake tester, follow the
same procedures as for the front wheel measurements.
