PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
SERVICE

When disconnecting and connecting coupler, make sure to
turn ignition switch OFF, or electronic parts may get dam-
aged.

Be careful not to touch the electrical terminals of parts which
use microcomputers (e.g. electronic control unit like as
ECM, PCM, P/S controller, etc.). The static electricity from
your body can damage these parts.

Never connect any tester (voltmeter, ohmmeter, or whatever)
to electronic control unit when its coupler is disconnected.
Attempt to do it may cause damage to it.

Never connect an ohmmeter to electronic control unit with
its coupler connected to it. Attempt to do it may cause dam-
age to electronic control unit and sensors.

Be sure to use a specified voltmeter / ohmmeter. Otherwise,
accurate measurements may not be obtained or personal in-
jury may result.

When taking measurements at electrical connectors using a
tester probe, be sure to insert the probe from the wire har-
ness side (backside) of the connector.

When connecting meter probe from terminal side of coupler
because it can't be connected from harness side, use extra
care not to bend male terminal of coupler of force its female
terminal open for connection.
In case of such coupler as shown connect probe as shown
to avoid opening female terminal.
Never connect probe where male terminal is supposed to fit.

ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
While there are various electrical circuit inspection methods, de-
scribed here is a general method to check its open and short circuit
by using an ohmmeter and a voltmeter.
OPEN CIRCUIT CHECK
Possible causes for the open circuit are as follows. As the cause is
in the connector or terminal in many cases, they need to be checked
particularly carefully.

Loose connection of connector

Poor contact of terminal (due to dirt, corrosion or rust on it, poor
contact tension, entry of foreign object etc.)

Wire harness being open
When checking system circuits including an electronic control unit
such as ECM, TCM, ABS control module, etc., it is important to per-
form careful check, starting with items which are easier to check.
1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
2) Check each connector at both ends of the circuit being checked
for loose connection. Also check lock condition of connector if
equipped with connector lock.
3) Using a test male terminal, check both terminals of the circuit be-
ing checked for contact tension of its female terminal.
Check each terminal visually for poor contact (possibly caused
by dirt, corrosion, rust entry of foreign object, etc.).
At the same time, check to make sure that each terminal is
locked in the connector fully.
4) Using continuity check or voltage check procedure described in
the following page, check the wire harness for open circuit and
poor connection with its terminals. Locate abnormality, if any.

2. Check each terminal for bend and proper alignment.
GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-15
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTION
Most intermittent are caused by faulty electrical connections or wir-
ing, although a sticking relay or solenoid can occasionally be at
fault. When checking it for proper connection, perform careful
check of suspect circuits for:

Poor mating of connector halves, or terminals not fully seated in
the connector body (backed out).

Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. The terminals must be clean
and free of any foreign material which could impede proper termi-
nal contact.
However, cleaning the terminal with a sand paper or the like is
prohibited.

Damaged connector body, exposing the terminals to moisture
and dirt, as well as not maintaining proper terminal orientation
with the component or mating connector.

Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
Check each connector terminal in problem circuits carefully to en-
sure good contact tension by using the corresponding mating ter-
minal.
If contact tension is not enough, reform it to increase contact ten-
sion or replace.

REMOVING MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
When A / C system has been charged with a specified amount of re-
frigerant, remove manifold gauge set as follows:
1) Close low pressure-side valve of manifold gauge set, (The high
pressure-side valve is closed continuously during the process
of charging.).
2) Close refrigerant container valve.
3) Stop engine.
4) Using shop rag, remove charging hoses from service valves.
This operation must be performed rapidly.
WARNING:
High pressure-side is naturally under high pressure.
So, care must be used to protect your eyes and skin.
5) Put caps on service valves.
LEAK-TESTING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
Whenever a refrigerant leak is suspected in the system or any ser-
vice operation has been performed which may result in disturbing
lines or connections, it is advisable to test for leaks.
Common sense should be used in performing any refrigerant leak
test, since the need and extent of any such test will, in general, de-
pend upon the nature of a complaint and the type of a service per-
formed on the system.
LIQUID LEAK DETECTORS
There are a number of fittings and places throughout the air condi-
tioning system where a liquid leak detector solution may be used
to pinpoint refrigerant leaks.
By merely applying the solution to the area in question with a swab,
bubbles will form within seconds if there is a leak.
For confined areas, such as sections of the evaporator and con-
denser, an electronic (gas) leak detector is more practical for deter-
mining leaks.
WARNING:

To prevent explosions or fires, make sure that there are no
flammables in the vicinity.

When exposed to fire, the refrigerant turns into a poison-
ous gas (phosgene). Do not inhale this gas.

A / C EVAPORATOR THERMISTOR
(EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR)
A thermistor is a temperature sensor to sense the temperature of
air discharged from evaporator. The electrical characteristic is
shown in the figure.
When temperature is lower than preset temperature, amplifier
makes magnet clutch turn off to prevent evaporator from frosting.
INSPECTION
Check resistance between A / C evaporator thermistor (1) termi-
nals.
If check results are as not specified, replace thermistor.

FLUSHING BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
It is recommended that entire hydraulic system be thoroughly
flushed with clean brake fluid whenever new parts are installed in
hydraulic system.
Periodical change of brake fluid is also recommended.
FLUID PRESSURE TEST(if equipped with
LSPV)
Test procedure for LSPV assembly is as follows.
Before testing, confirm the following.

Fuel tank is filled with fuel fully.

Vehicle is equipped with spare tire, tools, jack and jack handle.
1) Stop vehicle on level floor and place approximately about
200 kg (441 lbs) weight on rear housing so that rear axle weight
800 kg (1764 lb).
Rear axle weight ªLº: 800 kg (1764 lb)
2) Install special tool to front and rear brake.
NOTE:
Special tool should be connected to breather of front (driv-
er's side brake) and rear brakes.

5B-2 FRONT BRAKE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
DISC BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY
This caliper is mounted to the brake caliper carrier with two caliper pin bolts. Hydraulic force, created by applying
force to the brake pedal, is converted by the caliper to friction. The hydraulic force acts equally against the piston
and the bottom of the caliper bore to move the piston outward and to move (slide) the caliper inward, resulting in
a clamping action on the disc. This clamping action forces the pads (linings against the disc, creating friction to
stop the vehicle.
NOTE:

Lubricate parts as specified. Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts as damage to rubber compo-
nents may result. If any component is removed or line disconnected, bleed the brake system.
Replace pads in axle sets only. The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.

For identification of the brake caliper type, see maker name or mark on brake caliper as shown.
