REPLACEMENT
1. REMOVE SUPPORT FROM HOOD
Remove the bolt and support from the hood.
HINT:
While supporting the hood by hand, remove the support.
2. REMOVE SUPPORT FROM BODY
Remove the bolt and support.
3. IF NECESSARY, REPLACE HOOD SUPPORT
NOTICE:
Handling the hood support
Do not disassemble the support because the cylinder
is filled with pressurized gas.
If the support is to be replaced, drill a 2.0 - 3.0 mm
(0.079 - 0.118 in.) hole in the area shown in the il-
lustration to completely discharge the high-pressure
gas before disposing of it.
When drilling, chips may fly out so work carefully.
The gas is colorless, odorless and non-toxic.
When working, handle the support carefully. Never
score or scratch the exposed part of the piston rod,
and allow any paint or oil to get on it.
Do not turn the piston rod and cylinder with the sup-
port fully extended.
4. INSTALL HOOD SUPPORT
(a) Install the bolt and hood support to the body.
Torque: 17 N´m (175 kgf´cm, 13 ft´lbf)
(b) Install the bolts and hood support to the hood.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT ROTOR
(a) Inspect the rotor for open circuit.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity be-
tween the slip rings.
Standard resistance: 2.1 - 2.5 W at 20°C (68°F)
If there is no continuity, replace the rotor.
(b) Inspect the rotor for ground.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be-
tween the slip ring and rotor.
If there is continuity, replace the rotor.
(c) Check that the slip rings are not rough or scored.
If rough or scored, replace the rotor.
(d) Using vernier calipers, measure the slip ring diameter.
Standard diameter: 14.2 - 14.4 mm (0.559-0.567 in.)
Minimum diameter: 12.8 mm (0.504 in.)
If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the rotor.
2. INSPECT STATOR (DRIVE END FLAME)
(a) Inspect the stator for open circuit.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity be-
tween the coil leads.
If there is no continuity, replace the drive end frame assembly.
(b) Inspect the stator for ground.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be-
tween the coil lead and drive end frame.
If there is continuity, replace the drive end frame assembly.

COOLANT
INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RADIATOR RESERVOIR
The engine coolant level should be between the ºLOWº and ºFULLº lines, when the engine is cold.
If low, check for leaks and add ''Toyota Long Life Coolantº or Equivalent up to the ºFULLº line.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
(a) Remove the radiator cap from the water outlet.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator
are still hot, as fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap or water outlet
filler hole, and the coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, clean the coolant passages and replace the coolant.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap.
