GENERAL – How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points00-8
WHEN USING THE WARNING LAMP
1. Use the special tool to earth No.1 terminal (diagnosis
control terminal) of the diagnosis connector.
2. To check ABS system, remove the valve relay.
NOTE
That is because the valve relay is off and the warning
lamp remains illuminated if there is a fault in the ABS
system.
3. Turn on the ignition switch.
4. Read out a diagnosis code by observing how the warning
lamp flashes.

WHEN USING THE VOLTMETER
Use the special tool to connect the diagnosis output terminals
and the earth terminal of the diagnosis connector to a voltmeter
and take a reading of the diagnosis codes from the movement
of the needle.

FRONT AXLE
GENERAL
OUTLINE OF CHANGE
The installation method of the ball joint between the knuckle and the lower arm has been changed,
and accordingly the removal and installation procedures of the axle hub and the knuckle have been
revised.
AXLE HUB AND KNUCKLE
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Caution
(1) For vehicles with AYC, be careful when handling the pole piece at the tip of the speed sensor so as
not to damage it by striking against other parts.
(2) For vehicles with AYC, be careful not to damage the rotors installed to B.J. outer race during removal
and installation of the drive shaft.
Post-installation Operation
Check the Dust Cover for Cracks or Damage by
Pushing it with Finger.
