ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
FRONT SUSPENSION33-6
NOTE: The toe will move out as the left
turnbuckle is turned toward the front of the vehicle
and the right turnbuckle is turned toward the rear
of the vehicle.
2. Install the clip and tighten the lock nut to the
specified torque.
Tightening torque: 40 ± 5 N⋅m
3. Confirm that the toe-in is at the standard value.
4. Use a turning radius gauge to check that the
steering angle is at the standard value.
STEERING ANGLE
Standard value:
TOE-OUT ANGLE ON TURNS
To check the steering linkage, especially after the
vehicle has been involved in an accident or if an
accident is presumed, it is advisable to check the
toe-out angle on turns in addition to the wheel
alignment.
Conduct this test on the left turn as well as on the
right turn.
Standard value:
CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN
INCLINATION
Standard value:NOTE: *: difference between right and left wheels
must be less than 30'
NOTE: Camber and caster are preset at the factory
and cannot be adjusted.
CAUTION
Never subject the wheel bearings to the vehicle
load when the driveshaft nuts are loosened.
NOTE:
For vehicles with aluminium wheels, attach the
camber/caster/kingpin gauge to the driveshaft by
using special tool wheel alignment gauge attachment
(MB991004). Tighten the special tool to the same
torque 245
± 29 N⋅m as the driveshaft nut.
LOWER ARM BALL JOINT AXIAL PLAY
CHECK
M1332011300074
1. Raise the vehicle.
2. Remove the stabilizer link from the lower arm.
3. Move the lower arm up and down with your hands
to check for an excessive play in the axial
direction of the ball joint. If there is an excessive
play, replace the lower arm assembly.
LOWER ARM BALL JOINT COVER
CHECK
M1332008600321
1. Press the lower arm ball joint cover with your
finger to check that there are no cracks or
damage in the lower arm ball joint cover.
2. If the lower arm ball joint cover is cracked or
damaged, replace the lower arm assembly.
NOTE: If the lower arm ball joint cover is cracked
or damaged, it is possible that there may also be
damage to the ball joint. Inner

IGNITION SWITCH
CHASSIS ELECTRICAL54A-18
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2: The Ignition Key cannot be Registered.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
The ignition key transponder or the immobilizer-ECU
is suspected to be defective.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
•Malfunction of the ignition key
•Malfunction of immobilizer-ECU
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. MUT-II/III diagnosis code.
Q: Does diagnosis code No.11 reset?
YES :
Refer to P.54A-9.
NO : Replace the ignition key that cannot be
registered. Then re-register the encrypted
code. (Refer to P.54A-20). Verify that the
ignition key can be registered, then Go to
Step 2.
STEP 2. Retest the system.
Q: Does registered ignition key function properly?
YES :
The procedure is complete. (If no
malfunctions are found in all steps, an
intermittent malfunction is suspected. Refer
to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points −
How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction
P.00-5).
NO : Replace the immobilizer-ECU.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3: Engine does not Start (Cranking but no Initial Combustion).
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the fuel injectors are not operating, there might be
a problem with the MPI system in addition to a
malfunction of the immobilizer system. It is normal for
this to occur if an attempt is made to start the engine
using a key that has not been properly registered.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
•Malfunction of MPI system
•Malfunction of immobilizer-ECU
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. Check the system voltage.
Measure the system voltage during cranking.
Q: Is the voltage 8 volts or more?
YES :
Go to Step 2.
NO : Check the battery. Refer to P.54A-4. The
engine should start.
STEP 2. Check the immobilizer system diagnosis
code and MPI system diagnosis code.
Q: Which diagnosis code resets, the immobilizer
system diagnosis code or the MPI system
diagnosis code?
Immobilizer system diagnosis code is set :
Refer
to P.54A-9.
MPI system diagnosis code is set : Refer to
GROUP 13A, Diagnosis P.13A-15, GROUP
13B, Diagnosis P.13B-15.
No diagnosis code is set : Go to Step 3.
STEP 3. Check the starting system.
Q: Does the engine start?
YES :
Go to Step 4.
NO : Refer to GROUP 13A, Diagnosis −
Symptom Chart P.13A-215, GROUP 13B,
Diagnosis − Symptom Chart P.13B-189. If
the malfunction is not resolved, replace the
immobilizer-ECU. Then register the
password (secret code) and encrypted
code. (Refer to P.54A-20.) The engine
should start.

STEP 5. Retest the system
Q: Is the speedometer normal?
YES : .
The procedure is complete. (If no
malfunctions are found in all steps, an
intermittent malfunction is suspected. Refer
to GROUP 00, How to Use

YES :
Refer to GROUP 13A − Troubleshooting
P.13A-15, GROUP 13B − Troubleshooting
P.13B-15.
NO : . Go to Step 7.
STEP 7. Connector check: Combination meter
connector C-04 and engine-ECU connector C-127
Q: Is combination meter connector C-04 and
engine-ECU connector C-127 in good condition?
YES : .
Go to Step 8.
NO : . Repair or replace the damage
