WHEEL AND TYRE31-4
WHEEL BALANCE ACCURACYM1311001700247
PURPOSE
This section contains tips and procedures for
achieving accurate wheel balance. Steering wheel
vibration and/or body shake can result if any of these
procedures are not carefully observed.
1. Wheels and tyres must be properly mounted on a
balancer in order to achieve correct balance.
Centring the wheel on the shaft of the balancer is
essential for proper mounting.
2. Off-the-car wheel balancers must be calibrated
periodically to ensure good balancing results. An
inaccurately calibrated balancer could cause
unnecessary replacement of tyres, shocks,
suspension components, or steering components.
Check your balancer's calibration approximately
every 100 balances. Your wheel balancer's
instruction manual should include calibration
procedures. If the calibration procedures specifically
for your balancer are missing, use the generic steps
in this section for zero calibration, static balance, and
dynamic balance checks. The wheel balancer
calibration checks are also described in the
flowchart. (Refer to P.31-6).
PROCEDURE
1. Confirm that the balancer's cone and the wheel
mounting cone are undamaged and free of dirt
and rust.
2. On this vehicle, the wheel's centre hole on the
hub side has a chamfered edge. Use a
back-mounting cone on your wheel balancer to
centre the wheel on the balancer shaft.
3. Install a wheel mounting cone. The appropriate
size cone for this vehicle is 67.0 mm.
4. Before balancing the wheel, remove any wheel
weights from both sides. Also check both sides for
any damage.
5. When installing wheel weights, hammer them at a
straight (not diagonal) angle. Scalloped

or out-of-alignment suspensionRotate the tyres, and
check the front or

CAUTION
•Before removing the steering wheel and air bag module assembly, always refer to GROUP 52B -
Service Precautions P.52B-5, Air bag Module and Clock Spring P.52B-210. Also, set the front
wheels so that they are facing straight forward, and remove the ignition key. If you fail to do this,
the SRS clock spring will be damaged, causing the SRS air bag to be inoperative and serious
injury.

ADJUSTMENT
M1331000900682
Measure wheel alignment with alignment equipment
on a level surface. The front suspension, steering
system, wheels, and tyres should be serviced to
normal condition before measuring wheel alignment.

IDLE-UP OPERATION CHECK
M1552001600371
1. Before inspection and adjustment, set vehicle in
the following condition:
•Engine coolant temperature: 80 − 90 °C•Lamps, electric cooling fan and accessories: Set
to OFF
•Transmission: Neutral ("N" or "P" for vehicles with
A/T)
•Steering wheel: Straightforward
2. Check whether or not the idle speed is the
standard value. <1300, 1600> Refer to GROUP
13A, On-vehicle Service − Basic Idle Speed
Adjustment P.13A-387.
<2000> Refer to GROUP 13B, On-vehicle Service
− Basic Idle Speed Adjustment P.13B-324.
Standard value: 750 ± 50 r/min
3. When the A/C is running after turning the A/C
switch to ON, and the blower switch to the 3(MH)
or 4(HI) position, check to be sure that the idle
speed is at the standard value.
Standard value: 850 ± 50 r/min
NOTE: It is not necessary to make an adjustment,
because the idling speed is automatically
adjusted by the ISC system. If, however, a
deviation from the standard value occurs for some
reason, check the ISC system.
