Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and proper
servicing. These precautions are not described in each indi-
vidual section.
1. Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time with-out proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any inflammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any
inflammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refriger-
ant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be
sure to properly ventilate the area before working with hazard-
ous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
2. Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After
jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety
stands at the points designated for proper lifting and towing
before working on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
3. When removing a heavy component such as the engine or transaxle/transmission, take care not to lose your balance and
drop it. Also, do not allow it to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
4. Before starting repairs which do not require battery power, always turn off the ignition switch, then disconnect the ground
cable from the battery to prevent accidental short circuit.
5. To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust manifold, tail pipe and muffler. Do
not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.

Work Flow
STEPDESCRIPTION
STEP 1 Get detailed information about the conditions and the environment when the incident occurred. The following are key pieces of information required to make a good analysis:
WHATVehicle Model, Engine, Transmission and the System (i.e. Radio).
WHEN Date, Time of Day, Weather Conditions, Frequency.
WHERE Road Conditions, Altitude and Traffic Situation.
HOW System Symptoms, Operating Conditions (Other Components Interaction).
Service History and if any After Market Accessories have been installed.
STEP 2 Operate the system, road test if necessary. Verify the parameter of the incident.
If the problem cannot be duplicated, refer to ªIncident Simulation Testsº next page.
STEP 3 Get the proper diagnosis materials together including: POWER SUPPLY ROUTING
System Operation Descriptions
Applicable Service Manual Sections
Check for any Service Bulletin.
Identify where to begin diagnosis based upon your knowledge of the system operation and the customer comments.
STEP 4 Inspect the system for mechanical binding, loose connectors or wiring damage. Determine which circuits and components are involved and diagnose using the Power Supply Routing and Harness
Layouts.
STEP 5 Repair or replace the incident circuit or component.
STEP 6 Operate the system in all modes. Verify the system works properly under all conditions. Make sure you have not inad- vertently created a new incident during your diagnosis or repair steps.

4-pole Lift
WARNING:
Do not use a 2-pole lift.
Due to weight balance of the vehicle and shape of underbody,
lift arms can not be attached in a safe way. Therefore it is rec-
ommended to use a 4-pole lift only.
Tow Truck Towing
CAUTION:
IAll applicable local laws regarding the towing operation
must be obeyed.
I It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid
possible damage to the vehicle during a towing operation.
I Attach safety chains for all towing.
I When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering
system and power train are in good order. If any unit is
damaged, a dolly must be used.
I When towing with the front wheels on the ground:
Move both the gearshift and transfer levers to neutral (ªNº
position).
Turn the ignition key to the ªOFFº position and secure the
steering wheel in a straightahead position with a rope or
similar device. Never place the ignition key in the ªLOCKº
position. This will result in damage to the steering lock
mechanism.
I When towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release
the parking brake and move both the gearshift and trans-
fer levers to neutral (ªNº position).
I Never tow vehicle from the rear (i.e., backward) with four
wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and
expensive damage to the transmission.
