exhaust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately
locate the trouble and correct it.MA-21
UnderbodyThe underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these
substances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and
around the exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be
thoroughly flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where
mud and dirt can easily accumulate.Ð
Fluid leaksCheck under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the
vehicle has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner
after use is normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are
evident, check for the cause and correct it immediately.Ð

SIDE BEARING PRELOADNBPD0020S01A selection of carrier side bearing adjusting washer is
required for successful completion of this procedure.
1. Make sure all parts are clean and that the bearings are well
lubricated with light oil or ªDEXRON
TMº type automatic trans-
mission fluid.
2. Place the differential carrier, with side bearings and bearing
races installed, into the final drive housing.
SPD894
3. Put the side bearing spacer in place.
CAUTION:
Side bearing spacer is placed on either the right or left
depending upon final drive gear ratio. Be sure to replace it on
the correct side.
SPD986
4. Using Tool, install original carrier side bearing preload shims
on the carrier end, opposite the ring gear.
Tool number: KV38100600 (J25267)
SPD526
5. Install the side bearing caps in their correct locations and
torque the bearing cap retaining bolts.

CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 15 seconds.
4. If fluid leakage at connectors is noticed, loosen flare nut and
then retighten.
Do not overtighten connector as this can damage O-ring,
washer and connector.
5. Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering fluid.
Bleeding Hydraulic SystemNBST00131. Raise front end of vehicle until wheels are clear of the ground.
2. Add fluid into oil tank to specified level. Then, quickly turn
steering wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steering
stoppers.
Repeat steering wheel operation until fluid level no longer
decreases.
3. Start engine.
Repeat step 2 above.
IIncomplete air bleeding will cause the following to occur. When
this happens, bleed air again.
a) Air bubbles in reservoir tank
b) Clicking noise in oil pump
c) Excessive buzzing in oil pump
Fluid noise may occur in the valve or oil pump. This is common
when the vehicle is stationary or while turning steering wheel
slowly. This does not affect performance or durability of the system.
SST491B
SST090B
Checking Steering Wheel Turning ForceNBST00141. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to adequate operating tempera-
ture. [Make sure temperature of fluid is approximately 60 to
80ÉC (140 to 176ÉF).]
Tires need to be inflated to normal pressure.
4. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has
been turned 360É from the neutral position.
Steering wheel turning force:
39 N (4 kg, 9 lb) or less
5. If steering wheel turning force is out of specification, check
rack sliding force.
a. Disconnect steering column lower joint and knuckle arms from
the gear.
b. Start and run engine at idle to make sure steering fluid has
reached normal operating temperature.
c. Pull tie-rod slowly to move it from neutral position to±11.5 mm
(±0.453 in) at speed of 3.5 mm (0.138 in)/s. Check that rack
sliding force is within specification.

IBefore replacing Transfer control unit, perform Transfer
control unit input/output signal inspection and make sure
whether Transfer control unit functions properly or not.
(See page TF-55.)
Service NoticeNBTF00021) Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the all-mode 4WD transfer. It is
important to prevent the internal parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
2) Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
3) Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could inter-
fere with the operation of the all-mode 4WD transfer.
4) Place disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assembly.
5) All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
6) Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the all-mode 4WD transfer is disassembled.
7) It is very important to perform functional tests whenever they are indicated.
8) The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced.
Place removed parts in a parts rack in order to replace them in correct positions and sequences. Care will
also prevent springs and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.
9) Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.
10) Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings
and seals, and to hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Do not use grease.
11) Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
12) After overhaul, refill the transfer with new ATF.
13) When the all-mode 4WD transfer drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is drained. Old all-mode
4WD transfer fluid will remain in torque converter and ATF cooling system. Always follow the procedures,
MA-22, ªChanging All-mode 4WD Transfer Fluidº.
