The rear suspension, wheels, and tires should be serviced to the normal condition
prior to wheel alignment measurement. CAMBER
Standard value: -0° 50' +/- 30' (Left/right deviation within 30')
TOE-IN
Standard value: 3 +/- 3 mm (0.12 +/- 0.12 inch)
If camber and/or toe-in is not within the standard value, adjust by following
procedures.
1. Carry out camber adjustment by turning the camber adjusting bolt.

When adjusting the camber, the arms other than
the toe control arm should be tightened. After adjusting the camber, be sure to adjust the
toe.
NOTE:
LH: Clockwise viewed from the rear -> (-) camber RH: Clockwise viewed from the rear -> (+) camber If either of camber or toe is adjusted, both should
fluctuate. For the relationship between the two,
refer to CAMBER AND TOE REFERENCE TABLE

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS If the TCL/ASC-ECU detects any problem in the CAN communication line or the
ECUs, which the TCL/ASC-ECU is communicating with, it stores a diagnostic
trouble code. The DTCs have 58 items. The DTCs can be confirmed by connecting
scan tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly). The stored DTCs are not erased
even after the ignition switch has been turned to the LOCK (OFF) position, or the
battery has been disconnected. The DTCs can be erased by operating scan tool
MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly). HOW TO CONNECT THE SCAN TOOL (MUT-III) Required Special Tools:
MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)
MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V. C. I.) MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A
1. Ensure that the ignition switch is at the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
2. Start up the personal computer.
