MAINTENANCE SERVICE
1. FUEL SYSTEM (TANK, PIPE LINE AND
CONNECTION, AND FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE
CAP) (CHECK FOR LEAKS)
M1001001600312
Check for damage or leakage in the fuel lines and connections.
2. FUEL HOSES (CHECK CONDITION)M1001001700308
1. Inspect the surface of fuel hoses for heat and mechanical
damage. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts,
abrasions and excessive swelling indicate deterioration of
the rubber.
2. If the fabric casing of the rubber hose is exposed by cracks
and abrasions in the fuel system, the hose should be
replaced.
3. AIR CLEANER FILTER (REPLACE)M1001001800338
The air cleaner element will become dirty during use, reducing
its effectiveness. Replace it with a new one.
REPLACEMENT OF AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
1. Unclamp the air cleaner housing cover.
2. Remove the air cleaner element and install a new one.
3. When clamping the air cleaner housing cover in place, be
sure that the cover is completely closed.
4. EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CANISTER (CHECK
FOR CLOGGING)
M1001001900324
If the fuel-vapor cannister is clogged or damaged, excess fuel
vapor will escape into the atmosphere causing a strong fuel
vapour smell t emitt from engine compartmrnt. emission. Dis-
connect the line at both ends, and blow it clean with com-
pressed air. Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap from the filler
tube and check to see if there is evidence that the seal makes
improper contact to the filler tube.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL)13C-2
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONM1136000100029
Traction Control systems are a significant safety fea-
ture designed to prevent wheel spin during accelera-
tion. This results in improved vehicle stability and
steer ability. When excessive wheel spin is detected,
the system will automatically reduce engine torque
via the engine management system. The Engine
ECU can reduce throttle position, cut fuel injection
and retard ignition to one or more cylinders depend-ing on how much torque reduction is required and
will continue to occur until the wheels are no longer
spinning. During traction control operation the TCL
warning lamp will flash to inform the driver that the
vehicle is under traction control. This will continue
until traction control is finished.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION (EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM)M1173005100706
The evaporative emission (EVAP) system prevents
fuel vapors generated in the fuel tank from escaping
into the atmosphere.
Fuel vapors from the fuel tank flow through the vapor
pipe/hose to be stored temporarily in the EVAP can-
ister.
When the vehicle is in operation, fuel vapors stored
in the EVAP canister flow through the EVAP purge
solenoid, purge port and intake manifold plenum to
the combustion chamber.When the engine coolant temperature is low or when
the intake air quantity is small (when the engine is at
idle, for example), the Engine-ECU brings the EVAP
purge solenoid into the OFF state to shut off the fuel
vapor flow to the intake manifold plenum. This
ensures driveability when the engine is cold or run-
ning under low load and also stabilizes the emission
level.

5. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the EVAP
purge solenoid.
Standard value: 16
[at 20C )]
6. Replace the solenoid if resistance is out of specification.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION (CATALYTIC CONVERTER)M1173005300131
The three way catalytic converter, together with the
closed loop air-fuel ratio control based on the oxygen
sensor signal, oxidizes carbon monoxides (CO) and
hydrocarbons (HC), also reduces nitrogen oxides
(NOx). When the mixture is controlled at stoichiometric
air-fuel ratio, the three way catalytic converter pro-
vides the highest purification against the three con-
stituents, namely, CO, HC and NOx.
