0B±5 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Explanation of Complete Vehicle
Maintenance Schedule
Brief explanations of the services listed in the preceding
Maintenance Schedule are presented below.
Replace all questionable parts and note any necessary
repairs as you perform these maintenance procedures.
Front and Rear Axle Lubricant
Replacement
Check the lubricant level after every 7,500 miles (12,000
km) of operation and add lubricant to level of filler hole if
necessary.
Replace the front and rear axle lubricant at 15,000 miles
(24,000 km) and 30,000 miles (48,000 km) and after
every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) of operation thereafter.
Air Cleaner Element Replacement
Replace the air cleaner under normal operating
conditions every 30,000 miles (48,000 km).
Operation of the vehicle in dusty areas will necessitate
more frequent replacement.
Spark Plug Replacement
Replace the plugs at 100,000 miles (160,000 km)
intervals with the type specified at the end of this section.
Cooling System Service
Drain, flush and refill system with new engine coolant.
Refer to
ªRecommended Fluids and Lubricantsº in this
section, or ENGINE COOLING (SEC.6B).
Timing Belt Replacement
Replacement of the timing belt is recommended at every
100,000 miles (160,000 km).
Failure to replace the timing belt may result in serious
damage to the engine.
Valve Clearance Adjustment
Incorrect valve clearance will result in increased engine
noise and reduced engine output.
Retorque the camshaft bracket bolts before checking and
adjusting the valve clearance.
Check and adjust the valve clearance whenever
increased engine noise is heard.
Tire Rotation
Rotate tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km).
Front Wheel Bearings Lubricant
Replacement (Vehicles Produced Before
July/31/2001)
Clean and repack the front wheel bearings at 30,000
miles (48,000 km) intervals.
Refer to DRIVE SHAFT SYSTEM (SEC. 4C).
Front Wheel Bearings Check (Vehicles
Produced After Aug./1/2001)
Inspect hub unit bearing at every 60,000 miles (96,000
km).
If there is abnormal condition, replace hub unit bearing.
Radiator Core and Air Conditioning
Condenser Cleaning
Clean the front of the radiator core and air conditioning
condenser, at 60,000 miles (96,000 km) intervals.
Fluid Level Check
A fluid loss in any system (except windshield
washer) may indicate a problem. Repair the system
at once.
Engine oil level
Check level and add if necessary. The best time to check
the engine oil level is when the oil is warm. After stopping
the engine with the vehicle on a level surface, wait a few
minutes for the oil to drain back to the oil pan. Pull out the
oil level indicator (dipstick). Wipe it clean and push the oil
level indicator back down all the way. Pull out the oil level
indicator, keeping the tip down, and look at the oil level on
it.
Add oil, if needed, to keep the oil level above the ªADDº
mark and between the ªADDº and ªFULLº marks in the
operating range area. Avoid overfilling the engine since
this may cause engine damage. Push the oil level
indicator back down all the way after taking the reading.
If you check the oil level when the oil is cold, do not run the
engine first. The cold oil will not drain back to the pan fast
enough to give a true oil level.
Engine coolant level and condition
Check engine coolant level in the coolant reservoir and
add engine coolant if necessary. Inspect the engine
coolant and replace it if dirty or rusty.
Windshield washer fluid level
Check washer fluid level in the reservoir and add if
necessary.
Power steering system reservoir level
Check and keep at the proper level.
Brake master cylinder reservoir level
Check fluid. Keep fluid at proper level. A low fluid level can
indicate worn disc brake pads which may need to be
serviced.
Hydraulic clutch system
Check fluid level in the reservoir. Add fluid as required.
Battery fluid level
Check fluid level in the battery.
Fluid Leak Check
Check for fuel, water, oil or other fluid leaks by looking at
the surface beneath the vehicle after it has been parked
for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioning
system after use is normal. If you notice gasoline fumes or
fluid at any time, locate the source and correct it at once.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter Replacement
Always use API SE, SF, SG, SH or ILSAC GF±1 quality
oils of the proper viscosity.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of
temperatures the car will be operated in before the next oil
change. Then, select the recommended oil viscosity from
the chart.

6VE1 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
The Diagnostic Executive records DTCs and turns on the
MIL when emission-related faults occur. It can also turn
off the MIL if the conditions cease which caused the DTC
to set.
Diagnostic Information
The diagnostic charts and functional checks are designed
to locate a faulty circuit or component through a process
of logical decisions. The charts are prepared with the
requirement that the vehicle functioned correctly at the
time of assembly and that there are no multiple faults
present.
There is a continuous self-diagnosis on certain control
functions. This diagnostic capability is complemented by
the diagnostic procedures contained in this manual. The
language of communicating the source of the malfunction
is a system of diagnostic trouble codes. When a
malfunction is detected by the control module, a
diagnostic trouble code is set and the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL) (ªCheck Engineº lamp) is
illuminated.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) looks the same as
the MIL you are already familiar with (ªCheck Engineº
lamp). However, OBD II requires that it illuminate under a
strict set of guide lines.
Basically, the MIL is turned on when the PCM detects a
DTC that will impact vehicle emissions.
The MIL is under the control of the Diagnostic Executive.
The MIL will be turned on if an emissions-related
diagnostic test indicates a malfunction has occurred. It
will stay on until the system or component passes the
same test, for three consecutive trips, with no emissions
related faults.
If the vehicle is experiencing a misfire malfunction which
may cause damage to the Three-Way Catalytic
Converter (TWC), the MIL will flash once per second.
This will continue until the vehicle is outside of speed and
load conditions which could cause possible catalyst
damage, and the MIL will stop flashing and remain on
steady.
Extinguishing the MIL
When the MIL is on, the Diagnostic Executive will turn off
the MIL after
three(3) consecutive trips that a ªtest
passedº has been reported for the diagnostic test that
originally caused the MIL to illuminate.
Although the MIL has been turned off, the DTC will remain
in the PCM memory (both Freeze Frame and Failure
Records) until
forty(40) warm-up cycles after no faults
have been completed.
If the MIL was set by either a fuel trim or misfire-related
DTC, additional requirements must be met. In addition to
the requirements stated in the previous paragraph, these
requirements are as follows:

The diagnostic tests that are passed must occur
within 375 RPM of the RPM data stored at the time the
last test failed.

Plus or minus ten (10) percent of the engine load that
was stored at the time the last failed.
Similar engine temperature conditions (warmed up or
warming up ) as those stored at the time the last test
failed.
Meeting these requirements ensures that the fault which
turned on the MIL has been corrected.
The MIL (ªCheck Engineº lamp) is on the instrument
panel and has the following function:

It informs the driver that a fault affects vehicle
emission levels has occurred and that the vehicle
should be taken for service as soon as possible.

As a bulb and system check, the MIL will come ªONº
with the key ªONº and the engine not running. When
the engine is started, the MIL will turn ªOFF.º

When the MIL remains ªONº while the engine is
running, or when a malfunction is suspected due to a
driveability or emissions problem, a Powertrain
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD ll) System Check must be
performed. The procedures for these checks are
given in On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check.
These checks will expose faults which may not be
detected if other diagnostics are performed first.
DTC Types
Each DTC is directly related to a diagnostic test. The
Diagnostic Management System sets DTC based on the
failure of the tests during a trip or trips. Certain tests must
fail two (2) consecutive trips before the DTC is set. The
following are the four (4) types of DTCs and the
characteristics of those codes:

Type A

Emissions related

Requests illumination of the MIL of the first trip with a
fail

Stores a History DTC on the first trip with a fail

Stores a Freeze Frame (if empty)

Stores a Fail Record

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails

Type B

Emissions related

ªArmedº after one (1) trip with a fail

ªDisarmedº after one (1) trip with a pass

Requests illumination of the MIL on the
second
consecutive trip
with a fail

Stores a History DTC on the second consecutive trip
with a fail (The DTC will be armed after the first fail)

Stores a Freeze Frame on the second consecutive
trip with a fail (if empty)

Stores a Fail Record when the first test fails (not
dependent on
consecutive trip fails)

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails
(Some special conditions apply to misfire and fuel trim
DTCs)

Type C (if the vehicle is so equipped)

Non-Emissions related

Requests illumination of the Service

Stores a History DTC on the
first trip with a fail

Not Run Since Code Cleared
This option will display up to DTCs that have not run since
the DTCs were last cleared. Since any displayed DTCs
have not run, their condition (passing or failing) is
unknown.
Test Failed Since Code Cleared
This selection will display all active and history DTCs that
have reported a test failure since the last time DTCs were
cleared. DTCs that last failed more than 40 warm-up
cycles before this option is selected will not be displayed.
Miscellaneous Test
This test consists of eight menus-Lights, Relays, EVAP,
Fuel System, Instruments, EGR Control, Variable Intake
Manifold Solenoid, and Injector Balance Tests.
In these tests, Tech 2 sends operating signals to the
systems to confirm their operations thereby to judge the
normality of electric circuits.
To judge intermittent trouble,
1. Confirm DTC freeze frame data, and match the
freeze frame data as test conditions with the data list
displayed by Miscellaneous Test.
2. Confirm DTC setting conditions, and match the
setting conditions as test conditions with the data list
displayed by Miscellaneous Test.
3. Refer to the latest Service Bulletin.
Check to see if the Latest software is released or not.
Down load the LATEST PROGRAMMED
SOFTWARE to the replacement PCM.
Lamps Test
This test is conducted check MIL, Up Shift Lamp, Low
Fuel Lamp, Reduced Power Lamp and Cruise Control
Lamp for its working.
Tech2 must be used for this test.
Test Procedure:
1. Connect Tech 2 to the vehicle DLC.
2. Run the Engine at idle.
