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.

GENERAL – How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points00-10
HOW TO USE THE INSPECTION PROCEDURES
The causes of a high frequency of problems occurring in electronic circuitry are generally the connectors,
components, the ECU and the harnesses between connectors, in that order. These inspection procedures
follow this order, and they first try to discover a problem with a connector or a defective component.

mode switch is pressed.

Replace the ECS-ECU.
In the above cases, the ECS switch circuit is defective or the indicator
circuit is defective.
CHECKING PROCEDURE 4
2. Indicates inspection carried out using the
MUT-II.
Indicates the operation and inspection proce-
dures.
Indicates the OK judgement conditions.
3. Detailed inspection procedures (methods)
such as component inspection and circuit
inspection are listed on a separate page, and
are given here for reference.
5. Inspect the contact condition at each connector terminal.
(Refer to Connector Inspection Service Points.)
The connector position can be located in the wiring diagram in the
electrical wiring manual by means of this symbol.
Caution
After carrying out connector inspection, always be sure to
reconnect the connector as it was before.
6. Confirm that there are trouble symptoms. If trouble symptoms have
disappeared, the connector may have been inserted incorrectly and the
trouble symptom may have disappeared during inspection.
If it seems that trouble symptoms still remain, proceed to the next page of
instructions.
7. If trouble symptoms still remain up to this stage, there is a possibility that there is an
open or short circuit in the harness between the connectors, so check the harness.
Alternatively, the cause may be a defective ECU, so try replacing the ECU and check
if the trouble symptom disappears.

4. Indicates voltage and resistance to be measured at a particular
connector.
(Refer to Connector Measurement Service Points.)
The connector position can be located in the wiring diagram in the
electrical wiring manual by means of this symbol.
Indicates operation and inspection procedures, inspection terminals
and inspection conditions.
Indicates the OK judgement conditions.
HARNESS INSPECTION
Check for an open or short circuit in the harness between the terminals which were defective according
to the connector measurements. Carry out this inspection while referring to the electrical wiring manual.
Here, “Check harness between power supply and terminal xx” also includes checking for blown fuses.
For inspection service points when there is a blown fuse, refer to “Inspection Service Points for a Blown
Fuse.”
MEASURES TO TAKE AFTER REPLACING THE ECU
If the trouble symptoms have not disappeared even after replacing the ECU, repeat the inspection procedure
from the beginning.
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.

ENGINE – Cylinder Head and Valves11-44
REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
PRECAUTION FOR REMOVED PARTS
Keep removed parts in order according to the cylinder number
and intake/exhaust.
ACYLINDER HEAD BOLTS REMOVAL
Using the special tool, loosen the cylinder head bolts. Loosen
evenly, little by little.
BRETAINER LOCK REMOVAL
Store removed valves, springs and other parts, tagged to
indicate their cylinder No. and location for reassembly.
CVALVE HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
(1) Sodium reacts violently with water or moisture generation
heat and liberating hydrogen. It must be handled with
utmost care because otherwise the following dangerous
conditions may result:
Loss of eyesight if sodium gets in eyes.
Burns if soduim contact skin.
Fire hazard.
(2) Handling of Soduim-filled Exhaust Valves
Soduim-filled exhaust valves are not dangerous and may
be handled in the same way as ordinary valves unless
they are broken.
Never try to break the valves and expose soduim to the
air. When worn exhaust valves are to be discarded, have
them disposed of by a salvage company equipped with
special disposal system, notifying them that the valves
contain soduim.
Should the exhaust valves be broken, neutralize soduim
using the method described below, and discard the valves
in the same way as ordinary valves.
