Maintenance Schedule List
Normal Vehicle Use
The maintenance instructions in this Maintenance
Schedule are based on the assumption that the vehicle
will be used as designed:

to carry passengers and cargo within the limitations
specified on the tire placard located on the inside of
the glove compartment door;

to be driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal
operating limits;

to be driven on a daily basis, as a general rule, for at
least several miles/kilometers;

to be driven on unleaded fuel
Unusual or severe operating conditions will require more
frequent vehicle maintenance, as specified in the
following sections.
Severe Driving Conditions
If the vehicle is usually operated under any of the severe
driving conditions listed below, it is recommended that the
applicable maintenance services be performed at the
specified interval shown in the chart below.
Severe driving conditions:

Towing a trailer, using a camper or car top carrier.

Repeated short trips of less than 8 Km (5 miles) with
outside temperature remaining below freezing.

Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long
distances, such as police, taxi or door±to±door
delivery use.

Operating on dusty, rough, muddy or salt spread
roads.

0B±6MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Always change the oil and the oil filter as soon as possible
after driving in a dust storm.
Engine Cooling System Inspection
Inspect the coolant/anti±freeze. If the coolant is dirty or
rusty, drain, flush and refill with new coolant. Keep coolant
at the proper mixture for proper freeze protection,
corrosion inhibitor level and best engine operating
temperature. Inspect hoses and replace if cracked,
swollen or deteriorated. Tighten the hose clamps if
equipped with screw±type clamps. Clean outside of
radiator and air conditioning condenser. Wash filler cap
and neck. To help ensure proper operation, a pressure
test of both the cooling system and the cap is also
recommended.
Exhaust System Inspection
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler, heat shields
and hangers for cracks, deterioration, or damage.
Be alert to any changes in the sound of the exhaust
system or any smell of fumes. These are signs the system
may be leaking or overheating. Repair the system at
once, if these conditions exist. (See also ªEngine Exhaust
Gas Safetyº and ªThree Way Catalytic Converterº in the
Owner's manual.)
Fuel Cap, Fuel Lines, and Fuel Tank
Inspection
Inspect the fuel tank, the fuel cap and the fuel lines every
60,000 miles (96,000 km) for damage which could cause
leakage.
Inspect the fuel cap and the gasket for correct sealing and
physical damage. Replace any damaged parts.
Drive Belt Inspection
Check the serpentine belt driving for cracks, fraying,
wear, and correct tension every 30,000 miles (48,000
km). Replace as necessary.
Wheel Alignment, Balance and Tires
Operation
Uneven or abnormal tire wear, or a pull right or left on a
straight and level road may show the need for a wheel
alignment. A vibration of the steering wheel or seat at
normal highway speeds means a wheel balancing is
needed. Check tire pressure when the tires are ªcoldº
(include the spare).
Maintain pressure as shown in the tire placard, which is
located on the driver's door lock pillar.
Steering System Operation
Be alert for any changes in steering operation. An
inspection or service is needed when the steering wheel
is harder to turn or has too much free play, or if there are
unusual sounds when turning or parking.
Brake Systems Operation
Watch for the ªBRAKEº light coming on. Other signs of
possible brake trouble are such things as repeated pulling
to one side when braking, unusual sounds when braking
or between brake applications, or increased brake pedaltravel. If you note one of these conditions, repair the
system at once.
For convenience, the following should be done when
wheels are removed for rotation: Inspect lines and hoses
for proper hookup, bindings, leaks, crack, chafing etc.
Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface
condition.
Inspect other brake parts, including parking brake drums,
linings etc., at the same time. Check parking brake
adjustment.
Inspect the brakes more often if habit or conditions
result in frequent braking.
Parking Brake and Transmission Park
Mechanism Operation
Park on a fairly steep hill and hold the vehicle with the
parking brake only. This checks holding ability. On
automatic transmission vehicles, shifting from ªPº
position to the other positions cannot be made unless the
brake pedal is depressed when the key switch is in the
ªONº position or the engine is running.
WARNING: B E F O R E C H E C K I N G T H E S TA R T E R
SAFETY SWITCH OPERATION BELOW, BE SURE TO
HAVE ENOUGH ROOM AROUND THE VEHICLE.
THEN FIRMLY APPLY BOTH THE PARKING BRAKE
AND THE REGULAR BRAKE. DO NOT USE THE
ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IF THE ENGINE STARTS,
BE READY TO TURN OFF THE KEY PROMPTLY.
TAKE THESE PRECAUTIONS BECAUSE THE
VEHICLE COULD MOVE WITHOUT WARNING AND
POSSIBLY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Starter Safety Switch Operation
Check by trying to start the engine in each gear while
setting the parking brake and the foot brake. The starter
should crank only in ªPº (Park) or ªNº (Neutral).
Accelerator Linkage Lubrication
Lubricate the accelerator pedal fulcrum pin with chassis
grease.
Steering and Suspension Inspection
Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering
system for damaged, loose or missing parts or signs of
wear. Inspect power steering lines and hoses for proper
hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc.
Body and Chassis Lubrication
Lubricate the key lock cylinders, the hood latch, the hood
and door hinges, the door check link, the parking cable
guides, the underbody contact points, and the linkage.
Propeller Shaft Inspection and Lubrication
Check the propeller shaft flange±to±pinion bolts for
proper torque to 63 Nwm (46 lb ft) for front and rear
propeller shaft.

DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (TOD) 4B2±6
High-Low Planetary Gear Set
Establishes an auxiliary transmission mechanism. When
the TOD switch is set to the 2H or TOD position, the
reduction gear ratio is 1.000 and the corresponding
driving force is generated. When the TOD switch is set to
the 4L position, the reduction gear ratio is 2.480 and the
corresponding driving force is generated.
262RW030
4H and 4L Switch
Detects the shift position of the transfer from the
movement of the shift rod and outputs signals to the TOD
control unit.
261RW002
Transfer Connector (12-pin type)
Transmits the input and output signals of the speed
sensors, electromagnetic coil, and 4H and 4L switche to
the vehicle harness. A waterproof 12-pin type is used.
261RW046
Transfer Connector (8-pin type)
Transmits the output signals of the shift motor position to
the vehicle harness and power for the shift motor to the
transfer. A waterproof 8-pin type is used.
