CautionEES0007C
lFinal tightening of bushings must be carried out under unladen condition with tires on the ground. Oil will
shorten life of bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
l“Unladen condition” means that fuel, coolant and lubricant are full and ready for drive. However, spare tire,
jack, and hand tools should be unloaded.
lAfter installing the removed suspension parts, always check wheel alignment and adjust if necessary.
lReplace the caulking nut with a new one. Install a new nut without wiping the oil off before tightening.
Precautions for Brake SystemEES000JB
lWhen installing rubber parts, final tightening must be carried out
under unladen condition* with tires on ground.
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,
hand tools and mats in designated positions.
lUse flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake tubes.
lAfter installing removed suspension parts, check wheel align-
ment and adjust if necessary.
lAlways torque brake lines when installing.

How to Handle BatteryEKS00313
CAUTION:
lIf it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster battery and jumper cables, use a 12-volt
booster battery.
lAfter connecting battery cables, ensure that they are tightly clamped to battery terminals for good
contact.
lNever add distilled water through the hole used to check specific gravity.
METHODS OF PREVENTING OVER-DISCHARGE
The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharging a battery.
lThe battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept
clean and dry.
lThe terminal connections should be clean and tight.
lAt every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
This also applies to batteries designated as “low maintenance”
and “maintenance-free”.
lWhen the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of
time, disconnect the negative battery terminal. (If the vehicle has
an extended storage switch, turn it off.)
lCheck the charge condition of the battery.
Periodically check the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Keep a
close check on charge condition to prevent over-discharge.
CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
WA RN ING:
Do not allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes, fabrics, or painted surfaces. After touch-
ing a battery, do not touch or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed your hands. If acid con-
tacts eyes, skin or clothing, immediately flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

Trouble Diagnoses
EKS00319
Before conducting an alternator test, make sure that the battery is fully charged. A 30-volt voltmeter and suit-
able test probes are necessary for the test. The alternator can be checked easily by referring to the Inspection
Table.
lBefore starting, inspect the fusible link.
lUse fully charged battery.
WITH IC REGULATOR
NOTE:
lIf the inspection result is OK even though the charging system is malfunctioning, check the B terminal
connection. (Check the tightening torque.)
lWhen field circuit is open, check condition of rotor coil, rotor slip ring and brush. If necessary, replace
faulty parts with new ones.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR
The IC regulator warning function activates to illuminate “CHARGE” warning lamp, if any of the following
symptoms occur while alternator is operating:
lExcessive voltage is produced.
lNo voltage is produced.
