DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
NOTICE:
When removing the part, turn the ignition switch OFF.
When replacing the steering angle sensor or ECU, make sure to perform steering angle sensor
zero point calibration.
HINT:
Using SST 09843-18020, connect the terminals Tc and E1.
If any abnormality is not found when inspecting parts, inspect the ECU.
If a malfunction code is displayed during the DTC check, check the circuit corresponding the code. For
details of each code, refer to the page under respective ºDTC No.º in the DTC chart.

BRAKE
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT BRAKE LINE PIPES AND HOSES
HINT:
Check in a well lighted area. Check the entire circumference
and length of the brake hoses using a mirror as required. Turn
the front wheels fully right or left before checking the front brake.
(a) Check all brake lines and hoses for:
Damage
Wear
Deformation
Cracks
Corrosion
Leaks
Bends
Twists
(b) Check all clamps for tightness and connections for leak-
age.
(c) Check that the hoses and lines are clear of sharp edges,
moving parts and the exhaust system.
(d) Check that the lines installed in grommets pass through
the center of the grommets.
2. INSPECT FRONT BRAKE PADS AND DISCS
(See page BR-26)
3. INSPECT REAR BRAKE PADS AND DISCS
(See page BR-35)
4. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE LININGS AND DRUMS
(See page BR-45)

CHASSIS
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT STEERING LINKAGE
(a) Check the steering wheel free-play (See page SR-8).
(b) Check the steering linkage for looseness or damage.
Check that:
Tie rod ends do not have excessive play.
Dust seals and boots are not damaged.
Boot clamps are not loose.
2. INSPECT SRS AIRBAG (See pages RS-15, RS-30)
3. INSPECT STEERING GEAR HOUSING OIL
Check the steering gear housing for oil leakage.
4. INSPECT DRIVE SHAFT BOOTS
Check the drive shaft boots for clamp looseness, leakage or
damage.
5. INSPECT BALL JOINTS AND DUST COVERS
(a) Inspect the ball joints for excessive looseness.
Jack up the front of the vehicle and place wooden
blocks with a height of 180 - 200 mm (7.09 - 7.87
in.) under the front tires.
Lower the jack until there is about half a load on the
front coil spring. Place stands under the vehicle for
safety.
Check that the front wheels are pointing straight
ahead, and block them with chocks.
Using a lever, pry up the end of the lower arm, and
check the amount of play.
Maximum ball joint vertical play: 0 mm (0 in.)
If there is play, replace the ball joint.
(b) Check the dust cover for damage.
6. CHECK TRANSAXLE FLUID
Visually check the transaxle for fluid leakage.
If leakage is found, check for the cause and repair.
7. REPLACE TRANSAXLE FLUID (See page DI-160)

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
These are maintenance and inspection items which are considered to be the owner's responsibility.
They can be done by the owner or they can have them done at a service shop.
These items include those which should be checked on a daily basis, those which, in most cases, do not
require (special) tools and those which are considered to be reasonable for the owner to do.
Items and procedures for general maintenance are as follows.
1. GENERAL NOTES
Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner's manual supplement in which
the maintenance schedule is shown.
Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performed.
Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time interval (months).
Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval as before unless
otherwise noted.
Failure to do even one item an cause the engine to run poorly and increase exhaust emissions.
2. TIRES
(a) Check the pressure with a gauge. If necessary, adjust.
(b) Check for cuts, damage or excessive wear.
3. WHEEL NUTS
When checking the tires, check the nuts for looseness or for missing nuts. If necessary, tighten them.
4. TIRE ROTATION
Check the owner's manual supplement in which the maintenance schedule is shown.
5. WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Check for wear or cracks whenever they do not wipe clean. If necessary, replace.
6. FLUID LEAKS
(a) Check underneath for leaking fuel, oil, water or other fluid.
(b) If you smell gasoline fumes or notice any leak, have the cause found and corrected.
7. DOORS AND ENGINE HOOD
(a) Check that all doors including the trunk lid operate smoothly, and that all latches lock securely.
(b) Check that the engine hood secondary latch secures the hood from opening when the primary latch
is released.
