There are two kinds of colored wire used in this vehicle. One is
single-colored wire and the other is dual-colored (striped) wire.
The single-colored wire uses only one color symbol (i.e. “G”).
The dual-colored wire uses two color symbols (i.e. “G/Y”). The first
symbol represents the base color of the wire (“G” in the figure) and
the second symbol represents the color of the stripe (“Y” in the fig-
ure).

0B-16 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Check front and rear suspension systems for damaged, loose or
missing parts; also for parts showing signs of wear or lack of lu-
brication.
Repair or replace defective parts, if any.
Check front suspension arm ball joint stud dust seals for leakage,
detachment, tear or any other damage.
Replace defective boot, if any.
ITEM 6-5
Steering System Inspection
1) Check steering wheel for play and rattle, holding vehicle straight
on ground.
Steering wheel play “a”: 0 – 30 mm (0 – 1.1 in.)
2) Check steering linkage for looseness and damage. Repair or re-
place defective parts, if any.
3) Check boots of steering linkage and steering gear case for dam-
age (leaks, detachment, tear, etc.). If damage is found, replace
defective boot with new one.
4) Check universal joints of steering shaft for rattle and damage. If
rattle or damage is found, replace defective part with a new one.
ITEM 6-6
Power Steering (P / S) System Inspection (if equipped)
1) Visually check power steering system for fluid leakage and hose
for damage and deterioration.
Repair or replace defective parts, if any.
2) With engine stopped, check fluid level indicated on fluid tank,
which should be between MAX and MIN marks. If it is lower than
MIN, fill fluid up to MAX mark.
NOTE
Be sure to use specified P / S fluid.
Fluid level should be checked when fluid is cool.
3) Visually check pump drive belt for cracks and wear.
4) Check belt for tension, referring to item 1-1 in this section.
If necessary, adjust or replace.
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-21
[Parking brake]
Check that lever has proper travel.
Check to ensure that parking brake is fully effective
when the vehicle is stopped on the safe slope and
brake lever is pulled all the way.
Steering
Check to ensure that steering wheel is free from in-
stability, or abnormally heavy feeling.
Check that the vehicle does not wander or pull to
one side.
Engine
Check that engine responds readily at all speeds.
Check that engine is free from abnormal noise and
abnormal vibration.
Body, Wheels and Power Transmitting System
Check that body, wheels and power transmitting sys-
tem are free from abnormal noise and abnormal
vibration or any other abnormal condition.
Meters and Gauge
Check that speedometer, odometer, fuel meter, tem-
perature gauge, etc. are operating accurately.
Lights
Check that all lights operate properly.
Windshield Defroster
Periodically check that air comes out from defroster
outlet when operating heater or air conditioning.
Set fan switch lever to “HI” position and mode lever to
defroster position for this check. WARNING:
With vehicle parked on a fairly steep slope,
make sure nothing is in the way downhill to
avoid any personal injury or property damage.
Be prepared to apply regular brake quickly
even if vehicle should start to move.
