14.Remove the radiator cap after the engine has cooled, and
pour in coolant up to the brim. Reinstall the cap.
Do not overfill the radiator condenser tank assembly.
15.Add coolant to the radiator condenser tank assembly
between the "FULL" and "LOW" mark if necessary.
13. COOLANT HOSES (RADIATOR HOSE,
HEATER HOSE) (INSPECT)
M1001009700034
Inspect the surface of radiator hoses and heater hoses for heat
and mechanical damage. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking,
tears, cuts, abrasions and excessive swelling indicate deterio-
ration of the rubber.
14. DISC BRAKE PADS, ROTORS (INSPECT FOR
WEAR)
M1001003200291
Check for fluid contamination and wear. Replace the complete
set of pads if any one pad is defective.
Thickness of lining
Minimum limit: 2.0 mm
The pads for the right and left wheels should be replaced
at the same time. Never split or intermix brake pad sets. All
four pads must be replaced as a complete set.
15. BRAKE HOSES (CHECK FOR
DETERIORATION OR LEAKS)
M1001003400314
Inspection of brake hoses should be included in all brake ser-
vice operations.
The hoses should be checked for:
1. Incorrect length, severe surface cracking, stretching,
scuffing or worn spots (If the fabric casing of the hoses is
exposed by cracks or abrasion in the rubber hose cover, the
hoses should be replaced. Eventual deterioration of the
hose and possible bursting failure may occur).
2. Incorrect installation, twisting or interference with wheel, tyre
or chassis.

INTRODUCTION TO TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL) DIAGNOSISM1136004600026
TCL Diagnostic Trouble Code Detection
Conditions
TCL diagnostic trouble codes (TCL DTCs) are set
under different conditions, depending on the mal-
function detected. Most TCL DTCs will only be set
during vehicle operation. Some TCL DTCs will also
be set during the TCL self-check immediately after
the engine is started. When you check if an TCL DTC will be displayed again after the DTC has been
erased, you should recreate the TCL DTC set condi-
tions. Depending on the detection timing and set
conditions for the specific TCL DTC, you must either
drive the vehicle or turn the engine off and restart it.
To set the proper conditions for that DTC again, refer
to "TCL DTC SET CONDITIONS" for each TCL DTC
that you are trying to reset.
TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGYM1136003100062
Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If
you follow them carefully, you will check most of the
possible causes of a TCL problem.
1. Gather information from the customer.
2. Verify that the condition described by the
customer exists.
3. Check the vehicle for any TCL DTC. (Refer to
P.13C-3, Diagnosis Function
How to Read and
Erase Diagnostic Trouble Codes).
4. If you can verify the condition but no TCL DTCs
are set, and the malfunction may be intermittent.
(Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points
How
to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions P.00-14).
5. If you can verify the condition but there is no TCL
DTCs, or the system cannot communicate with
diagnostic tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub
assembly), and find the fault. (Refer to P.13C-23,
Symptom Chart).6. If there is a TCL DTC, record the number of the
code, then erase the code from vehicle memory
using the diagnostic tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub
assembly). (Refer to P.13C-3, Diagnosis Function
How to Read and Erase Diagnostic Trouble
Codes).
7. Re-create the TCL DTC set conditions to see if
the same TCL DTC will set again. (Refer to
P.13C-3, Diagnosis Function
How to Read and
Erase Diagnostic Trouble Codes).
If the same TCL DTC sets again, perform the
diagnostic procedures for the set code. (Refer to
P.13C-8, Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart).
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wir-
ing is an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU
will shut off power supply to the respective
wheel speed sensor. All other wheel speed
sensors will operate normally. To restore the
power supply, the ignition switch must be
turned to the "OFF" position then to the "ON"
position again.

STEP 2. Using diagnostic tool MB991958, check TCL
actuator test item09: Engine TCL Drive.
To prevent damage to diagnostic tool MB991958, always
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting diagnostic tool
MB991958.
(1) Connect diagnostic tool MB991958 to the data link
connector. (Refer to P.13C-3).
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
The engine speed increases after the actuator test
because the actuator test continues for only three sec-
onds. Therefore, release the accelerator pedal immedi-
ately.
(3) Use diagnostic tool MB991958 to check the actuator test.
(Refer to P.13C-3).
Item 09: Engine TCL Drive.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed at the
same time that the button for actuator test item 09
displayed on diagnostic tool MB991958 is pressed,
the system prevents the engine speed from rising for
three seconds.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(5) Disconnect diagnostic tool MB991958.
Q: Are the check results for actuator test item 09
satisfactory?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with
ABS/TCL-ECU). (Refer to GROUP 35B
Hydraulic
Unit P.35B-93). Then go to Step 4.
STEP 3. Retest the system
Q: Does the TCL work normally?
YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.
(Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points
How to
Cope with Intermittent Malfunction P.00-14).
NO : Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with
ABS/TCL-ECU). (Refer to GROUP 35B
Hydraulic
Unit P.35B-93). Then go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Retest the system
Q: Does the TCL work normally?
YES : The procedure is complete.
NO : Return to Step 1.
