– INTRODUCTIONFOR ALL OF VEHICLES
2. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION:
If large amount of unburned gasoline flows into the converter, it may overheat and create a fire haz-
ard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to your customer.
(a) Use only unleaded gasoline.
(b) Avoid prolonged idling.
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
(c) Avoid spark jump test.
(1) Perform spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
(2) While testing, never race the engine.
(d) Avoid prolonged engine compression measurement.
Engine compression tests must be done as rapidly as possible.
(e) Do not run engine when fuel tank is nearly empty.
This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
(f) Avoid coasting with ignition turned off and prolonged braking.
(g) Do not dispose of used catalyst along with parts contaminated with gasoline or oil.
3. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
For vehicles with mobile communication systems such as two–way radios and cellular telephones, observe
the following precautions.
(a) Install the antenna as far as possible away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle’s electronic sys-
tem.
(b) Install the antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle’s
electronic systems. For details about ECU and sensors locations, refer to the section on the applicable
component.
(c) Do not wind the antenna feeder together with the other wiring as much as possible, also avoid running
the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harnesses.
(d) Check that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.
(e) Do not install powerful mobile communications system.
4. FOR USING HAND–HELD TESTER
CAUTION:
Observe the following items for safety reasons:
Before using the hand–held tester, the hand–held tester’s operator manual should be read thor-
oughly.
Be sure to route all cables securely when driving with the hand–held tester connected to the
vehicle. (i.e. Keep cables away from feet, pedals, steering wheel and shift lever.)
Two persons are required when test driving with the hand–held tester, one person to drive the
vehicle and the other person to operate the hand–held tester.

INSPECTION
1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL
(a) Keep the vehicle level.
(b) With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
If necessary, add fluid.
Fluid: ATF DEXRON II or III
HINT:
Check that the fluid level is within the HOT LEVEL range on the
reservoir / reservoir cap dipstick.
If the fluid is cold, check that it is within the COLD LEVEL range.
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to
boost fluid temperature.
Fluid temperature: 80
C (176
F)
(e) Check for foaming or emulsification.
If there is foaming or emulsification, bleed power steering sys-
tem (See Pub. No. RM599E on page SR–5).
(f) With the engine idling, measure the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
(g) Stop the engine.
(h) Wait a few minutes and remeasure the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
Maximum fluid level rise: 5 mm (0.20 in.)
If a problem is found, bleed power steering system (See Pub.
No. RM599E on page SR–5).
(i) Check the fluid level.

(a) Disconnect the pressure feed tube from the PS vane
pump [See Pub. No. RM599E on page SR–21 (4A–FE
and 7A–FE engines), SR–24 (3S–FE engine) and see
page SR–8 (2C–T, 2C–TE and 1CD–FTV engines)].
(b) Connect SST, as shown in the illustration below.

09641–01060)
NOTICE:
Check that the valve of the SST is in the open position.
(c) Bleed the power steering system (See Pub. No. RM599E
on page SR–5).
(d) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(e) Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to
boost fluid temperature.
