QUICK REFERENCE INDEX

SEF289H
Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:
Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
SGI233
To prevent serious burns:
Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
SGI234
Before servicing the vehicle:
Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate cov-
ers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.
Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers,
cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.
Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and
needle bearings as a set.
Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their
assembled locations and sequence.
Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use
microcomputers (such as ECMs).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indi-
cate the proper connection.
Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents
when required.
Use tools and recommended special tools where specified for
safe and efficient service repairs.
When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust
systems, check all affected lines for leaks.
Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in
an appropriate manner.

fuels in your diesel engine. The use of those can cause
engine damage.
Do not use summer fuel at temperatures below −7°C
(20°F). The cold temperatures will cause wax to form in the
fuel. As a result, it may prevent the engine from running
smoothly.
Do not add gasoline or other alternate fuels to diesel fuel.
PRECAUTIONS FOR AIR CONDITIONINGNJGI0001S09Use an approved refrigerant recovery unit any time the air condi-
tioning system must be discharged. Refer to HA-77 (Manual) or
ATC-132 (Auto), “HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Procedure” for spe-
cific instructions.

The captionsWARNINGandCAUTIONwarm you of steps that must be followed to prevent personal injury
and/or damage to some part of the vehicle.
WARNINGindicates the possibility of personal injury if instructions are not followed.
CAUTIONindicates the possibility of component damage if instructions are not followed.
BOLD TYPED STATEMENTSexceptWARNINGandCAUTIONgive you helpful information.
ALPHABETICAL INDEXis provided at the end of this manual so that you can rapidly find the item and
page you are searching for.
A QUICK REFERENCE INDEX, a black tab (e.g.
) is provided on the first page. You can quickly find
the first page of each section by matching it to the section’s black tab.
THE CONTENTSare listed on the first page of each section.
THE TITLEis indicated on the upper portion of each page and shows the part or system.
THE PAGE NUMBERof each section consists of two letters which designate the particular section and a
number (e.g. “BR-5”).
THE LARGE ILLUSTRATIONSare exploded views (See below.) and contain tightening torques, lubrica-
tion points, section number of thePARTS CATALOG(e.g. SEC. 440) and other information necessary to
perform repairs.
The illustrations should be used in reference to service matters only. When ordering parts, refer to the
appropriatePARTS CATALOG.
SBR364AC
THE SMALL ILLUSTRATIONSshow the important steps such as inspection, use of special tools, knacks
of work and hidden or tricky steps which are not shown in the previous large illustrations.
Assembly, inspection and adjustment procedures for the complicated units such as the automatic transaxle
or transmission, etc. are presented in a step-by-step format where necessary.
TheUNITSgiven in this manual are primarily expressed as the SI UNIT (InternationalSystem of Unit),
and alternatively expressed in the metric system and in the yard/pound system.
“Example”
Tightening torque:
59 - 78 N·m (6.0 - 8.0 kg-m, 43 - 58 ft-lb)
TROUBLE DIAGNOSESare included in sections dealing with complicated components.
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Description=NJGI0003S02
Number Item Description
1 Power conditionThis shows the condition when the system receives battery positive voltage (can be
operated).
2 Fusible linkThe double line shows that this is a fusible link.
The open circle shows current flow in, and the shaded circle shows current flow out.
3Fusible link/fuse loca-
tionThis shows the location of the fusible link or fuse in the fusible link or fusebox.For
arrangement, refer to EL-12, “POWER SUPPLY ROUTING”.
4FuseThe single line shows that this is a fuse.
The open circle shows current flow in, and the shaded circle shows current flow out.
5 Current rating This shows the current rating of the fusible link or fuse.
6 ConnectorsThis shows that connector E3 is female and connector M1 is male.
The G/R wire is located in the 1A terminal of both connectors.
Terminal number with an alphabet (1A, 5B, etc.) indicates that the connector is SMJ con-
nector. Refer to GI-20.
7 Optional splice The open circle shows that the splice is optional depending on vehicle application.
8 Splice The shaded circle shows that the splice is always on the vehicle.
9 Page crossingThis arrow shows that the circuit continues to an adjacent page.
The A will match with the A on the preceding or next page.
10 Common connectorThe dotted lines between terminals show that these terminals are part of thesamecon-
nector.
11 Option abbreviation This shows that the circuit is optional depending on vehicle application.
12 RelayThis shows an internal representation of the relay. For details, refer to EL-9, “STAN-
DARDIZED RELAY”.
13 Connectors This shows that the connector is connected to the body or a terminal with bolt or nut.
14 Wire colorThis shows a code for the color of the wire.
B=Black
W = White
R = Red
G = Green
L = Blue
Y = Yellow
