WARNING:
SDM
 During service procedures, be very careful when handling a Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
Never strike or jar the SDM.
Never power up the air bag system when the SDM is not rigidly attached to the vehicle. All SDM and
mounting bracket fasteners must be carefully torqued and the arrow must be pointing toward the
front of the vehicle to ensure proper operation of the air bag system.
The SDM could be activated when powered while not rigidly attached to the vehicle which could
cause deployment and result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Driver and Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioners (If
equipped)
 For handling and storage of a live seat belt preten-
sioner, select a place where the ambient temperature
below 65°C (150°F), without high humidity and away
from electric noise.
 Never carry seat belt pretensioner by wire or connector
of pretensioner. When placing a live seat belt preten-
sioner on the workbench or some place like that, be
sure not to lay it with its exhaust hole (1) provided side
facing down. It is also prohibited to put something on
its face with an exhaust hole (1) or to put a seat belt
pretensioner on top of another. Otherwise, personal
injury may result.
 Never dispose of live (inactivated) seat belt pretension-
ers (driver and passenger). If disposal is necessary, be
sure to activate them according to activation proce-
dures described in Section 10B before disposal.
 The seat belt pretensioner immediately after activation
is very hot. Wait for at least half an hour to cool it off
before proceeding the work.
 With many service procedures, gloves and safety
glasses should be worn to prevent any possible irrita-
tion of the skin or eyes.

Vehicle Lifting Points
When Using Frame Contact Hoist
WARNING:
 Before applying hoist to underbody, always take vehicle balance throughout service into consider-
ation. Vehicle balance on hoist may change depending on what part to be removed.
 Before lifting up the vehicle, check to be sure that end of hoist arm is not in contact with brake pipe,
fuel pipe, bracket or any other part.
 When using frame contact hoist, apply hoist as shown (right and left at the same position). Lift up
the vehicle till 4 tires are a little off the ground and make sure that the vehicle will not fall off by try-
ing to move vehicle body in both ways. Work can be started only after this confirmation.
 Make absolutely sure to lock hoist after vehicle is hoisted up.

When Using Floor Jack
In raising front or rear vehicle end off the floor by jacking, be sure
to put the jack against the center portion of the front axle housing
(1) or rear axle housing (2).
To perform service with either front or rear vehicle end jacked up,
be sure to place safety stands (1) under chassis frame so that
body is securely supported. And then check to ensure that chas-
sis frame does not slide on safety stands (1) and the vehicle is
held stable for safety’s sake. WARNING:
If the vehicle to be jacked up only at the front or rear end,
be sure to block the wheels on ground in order to ensure
safety.
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it on
stands. It is extremely dangerous to do any work on the
vehicle raised on jack alone.
CAUTION:
Never apply jack against suspension parts (i.e., stabi-
lizer, etc.) or vehicle floor, or it may get deformed.

PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) Valve
INSPECTION
Check crankcase ventilation hose and PCV hose for leaks, cracks
or clog, and PCV valve for stick or clog. Refer to “PCV System” of
Section 6E for PCV valve checking procedure.
Fuel Evaporative Emission Control System
INSPECTION
1) Visually inspect hoses for cracks, damage, or excessive
bends. Inspect all clamps for damage and proper position.
2) Check EVAP canister for operation and clog, referring to
“Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control System” in Section
6E.
If a malfunction is found, repair or replace.
Chassis and Body
Clutch
INSPECTION
Check clutch pedal for height and free travel (1) referring to “Main-
tenance Service” in Section 7C. Adjust or correct if necessary.
Brake Discs and Pads
INSPECTION
1) Remove wheel and caliper but don’t disconnect brake hose
from caliper.
2) Check front disc brake pads and discs for excessive wear,
damage and deflection. Replace parts as necessary. For
details, refer to “Brake Pad” and “Brake Disc” in Section 5.
Be sure to torque caliper pin bolts to specification.

3) Rotate tires.
For details, refer to “Tire Rotation” in Section 3F.
WHEEL DISCS INSPECTION
Inspect each wheel disc for dents, distortion and cracks. A disc in
badly damaged condition must be replaced.
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION
1) Check front wheel bearing for wear, damage, abnormal
noise or rattles. For details, refer to “Wheel Disc, Nut and
Bearing Check” in Section 3D.
2) Check rear wheel bearing for wear, damage, abnormal noise
or rattles. For details, refer to “Wheel Disc, Nut and Bearing
Check” in Section 3E.
