Warning
The following troubleshooting flow chart contains the fuel system diagnosis and repair
procedures. Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services:
•Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep
sparks and flames away from fuel.
•Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or death
and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete “BEFORE
REPAIR PROCEDURE” and “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE” described in this manual.
STEP INSPECTION RESULTS ACTION
1Note

PRECAUTION (FRONT AND REAR AXLE)A6E631001018201Wheel and Tire Removal/Installation
1. The removal and installation procedures for the wheels and tires are not mentioned in this section. When a
wheel is removed, tighten it to 88—118 N·m {9.0—12.0 kgf·m, 65.0—87.0 ft·lbf}
Brake Line Disconnection/Connection
Caution
•Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid gets on a painted surface, wipe it off
immediately.
1. Tighten the brake pipe flare nut using the SST (49 0259 770B). Be sure to modify the brake pipe flare nut
tightening torque to allow for use of a torque wrench-SST combination.
2. If any brake line has been disconnected any time during the procedure, add brake fluid, bleed the brakes, and
inspect for leakage after the procedure has been completed.
Suspension Arm Removal/Installation
1. Tighten any part of the suspension that uses rubber bushings only after vehicle has been lowered and
unloaded.
Note
•Unloaded: Fuel tank is full. Engine coolant and engine oil are at specified level. Spare tire, jack, and tools
are in designated position.
Connector Disconnection
1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before disconnecting connectors.
Electronic Control 4WD System Parts
1. After servicing the electronic control 4WD system parts, verify that no DTC has been stored. Clear any DTCs
remaining in the memory.

SUSPENSION CONTROL SYSTEM ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION (WGN)A6E7416010132021. Pull up the dust boot and visually inspect the piston rod for oil leakage.
2. Remove all cargo and drive the vehicle, with only the driver aboard, for 1 km {0.62 miles} or more. After
driving, verify that the rear vehicle height (distance measured from the fender brim to the center of the wheel) is
360 mm {14.2 in} or more
*. If not as specified, replace the rear shock absorbers.
3. Place a load equivalent to five people riding in
order to make the rear vehicle height to be 330
mm {13.0 in} or less.
4. Immediately after driving the vehicle for 5 km {3.0
miles} or more, under the same load conditions,
verify that the rear vehicle height is 335 mm {13.2
in} or more. If not as specified replace the rear
shock absorbers.
*: Indicates rear vehicle height with fuel tank full.
Height will vary 6—8 mm {0.24—0.31 in} between a
full and empty fuel tank.

Caution
•Performing the following procedures without first removing the ABS wheel-speed sensor may
possibly cause an open circuit in the harness if it is pulled by mistake. Before performing the
following procedures, remove the ABS wheel-speed sensor (axle side) and fix it to an appropriate
place where the sensor will not be pulled by mistake while servicing the vehicle.
1. Remove in the order indicated in the table.
2. Install in the reverse order of removal.
