Automatic Transaxle Fluid
Refer to fluid level service procedure of Section 5A, ZF
4HP16 Automatic Transaxle.
Manual Transaxle
Check the fluid level and add fluid as required. Refer to
Section 5B, Five–Speed Manual Transaxle.
Brake System Inspection
This inspection should be done when the wheels are re-
moved for rotation. Inspect the lines and the hoses for
proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. In-
spect the disc brake pads for wear. Inspect the rotors for
surface condition. Also inspect the drum brake linings for
wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including the
drums, the wheels cylinders, the parking brake, etc., at the
same time. Check the parking brake adjustment. Inspect
the brakes more often if habit or conditions result in fre-
quent braking.
Steering, Suspension and Front Drive Axle
Boot And Seal Inspection
Inspect the front and rear suspension and the steering
system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs of wear
or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering lines and
the hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chaf-
ing, etc. Clean and inspect the drive axle boot and seals
for damage, tears or leakage. Replace the seals if neces-
sary.
Exhaust System Inspection
Inspect the complete system (including the catalytic con-
verter if equipped). Inspect the body near the exhaust sys-
tem. Look for broken, damaged, missing, or out–of–posi-
tion parts as well as open seams, holes, loose
connections, or other conditions which could cause heat
buildup in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes seep
into the trunk or passenger compartment.
Throttle Linkage Inspection
Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding,
damaged, or missing parts. Lubricate all linkage joints and
throttle cable joints, the intermediate throttle shaft bearing,
the return spring at throttle valve assembly, and the accel-
erator pedal sliding face with suitable grease. Check the
throttle cable for free movements.
Engine Drive Belts
Inspect all belts for cracks, fraying, wear and proper ten-
sion. Adjust or replace the belts as needed.
Hood Latch Operation
When opening the hood, note the operation of the secon-
dary latch. It should keep the hood from opening all the
way when the primary latch is released. The hood must
close firmly.
AT LEAST ANNUALLY
Lap and Shoulder Belts Condition and
Operation
Inspect the belt system including: the webbing, the
buckles, the latch plates, the retractor, the guide loops and
the anchors.
Movable Head Restraint Operation
On vehicles with movable head restraints, the restraints
must stay in the desired position.
Spare Tire and Jack Storage
Be alert to rattles in the rear of the vehicle. The spare tire,
all the jacking equipment, and the tools must be securely
stowed at all times. Oil the jack ratchet or the screw mech-
anism after each use.
Key Lock Service
Lubricate the key lock cylinder.
Body Lubrication Service
Lubricate all the body door hinges including the hood, the
fuel door, the rear compartment hinges and the latches,
the glove box and the console doors, and any folding seat
hardware.
Transaxle Neutral Switch Operation on
Automatic Transaxle
CAUTION : Take the following precautions because
the vehicle could move without warning and possibly
cause personal injury or property damage:
S Firmly apply the parking brake and the regular
brakes.
S Do not use the accelerator pedal.
S Be ready to promptly turn off the ignition if the ve-
hicle starts.
On automatic transaxle vehicles, try to start the engine in
each gear. The starter should crank only in P (Park) or N
(Neutral).
Parking Brake and Transaxle P (Park)
Mechanism Operation
CAUTION : In order to reduce the risk of personal in-
jury or property damage, be prepared to apply the reg-
ular brakes promptly if the vehicle begins to move.
Park on a fairly steep hill with enough room for movement
in the downhill direction. To check the parking brake, with
the engine running and the transaxle in N (Neutral), slowly
remove foot pressure from the regular brake pedal (until
only the parking brake is holding the vehicle).
To check the automatic transaxle P (Park) mechanism’s
holding ability, release all brakes after shifting the trans-
axle to P (Park).
Underbody Flushing
Flushing the underbody will remove any corrosive materi-
als used for ice and snow removal and dust control. At
least every spring clean the underbody. First, loosen the
sediment packed in closed areas of the vehicle. Then flush
the underbody with plain water.

DIAGNOSIS
COMPRESSION TEST
Important : Disconnect the Crankshaft Position (CKP)
Sensor connector to disable the fuel and the ignition sys-
tems.
Test the compression pressure for each cylinder. Low
compression pressure may be the fault of the valves or the
pistons. The following conditions should be considered
when you check the cylinder compression:
S The engine should be at normal operating tempera-
ture.
S The throttle must be wide open.
S All the spark plugs should be removed.
S The battery must be at or near full charge.
1. Place approximately three squirts of oil from a
plunger– type oiler into each spark plug port.
2. Insert the engine compression gauge into each
spark plug port.
3. Crank test each cylinder with four to five compres-
sion strokes using the starter motor.4. The lowest reading should not be less than 70% of
the highest reading. The compression gauge read-
ing should not be less than 689 kPa (100 psi) for
any of the cylinders.
5. Examine the gauge readings obtained after the four
”puffs” per cylinder are obtained from cranking the
starter motor. The readings are explained in the
following descriptions:
S Normal Condition – Compression builds up quickly
and evenly to the specified compression on each
cylinder.
S Piston Rings Faulty – Compression is low on the
first stroke and tends to build up on following
strokes, but the compression pressure does not
reach normal. The compression pressure improves
considerably with the addition of oil into the cylin-
der.
S Valves Faulty – Low compression pressure on the
first stroke. The compression pressure does not
tend to build up on the following strokes. The com-
pression pressure does not improve much with the
addition of oil into the cylinder.

GENERAL INFORMATION
CLEANLINESS AND CARE
An automobile engine is a combination of many machined,
honed, polished and lapped surfaces with tolerances that
are measured in the ten–thousandths of an inch. When
any internal engine parts are serviced, care and cleanli-
ness are important. A liberal coating of engine oil should
be applied to friction areas during assembly, to protect and
lubricate the surfaces on initial operation. Proper cleaning
and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is
part of the repair procedure. This is considered standard
shop practice even if not specifically stated.
Whenever valve train components are removed for ser-
vice, they should be kept in order. They should be installed
in the same locations, and with the same mating surfaces,
as when they were removed.Battery cables should be disconnected before any major
work is performed on the engine. Failure to disconnect
cables may result in damage to wire harness or other elec-
trical parts.ON–ENGINE SERVICE
CAUTION : Disconnect the negative battery cable be-
fore removing or installing any electrical unit, or
when a tool or equipment could easily come in con-
tact with exposed electrical terminals. Disconnecting
this cable will help prevent personal injury and dam-
age to the vehicle. The ignition must also be in LOCK
unless otherwise noted.
Notice : Any time the air cleaner is removed, the intake
opening should be covered. This will protect against acci-
dental entrance of foreign material, which could follow the
intake passage into the cylinder and cause extensive
damage when the engine is started.
