General Description
This double tube type steering column has the following three important features in addition to the steering func-
tion:
The column is energy absorbing, designed to compress in a front-end collision.
The ignition switch and lock are mounted conveniently on this column.
With the column mounted lock, the ignition and steering operations can be locked to inhibit theft of the vehi-
cle.
To insure the energy absorbing action, it is important that only the specified screws, bolts and nuts be used as
designated and that they are tightened to the specified torque.
When the column assembly is removed from the vehicle, special care must be taken in handling it. Use of a
steering wheel puller other than the one recommended in this manual or a sharp blow on the end of the steering
shaft, leaning on the assembly, or dropping the assembly could shear the plastic shear pins which maintain col-
umn length and position.
The driver air bag (inflator) module is one of the supplemental restraint (air bag) system components and is
mounted to the center of the steering wheel. During certain frontal crashes, the air bag system supplements the
restraint of the driver’s and passenger’s seat belts by deploying the air bags.
The air bag (inflator) module should be handled with care to prevent accidental deployment. When servicing, be
sure to observe all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS in this section and “Service Precautions” in Section 10B.

Rear Drum Brake Shoe Adjustment
Rear brake has self-adjusting mechanism but it does require
adjustment for proper drum to shoe clearance when brake shoe
has been replaced or brake drum has been removed for some
other service.
Adjustment is automatically accomplished by depressing brake
pedal about 30 times with approximately 30 kg (66 Ibs) load after
all parts are installed.
Then check brake drum for dragging and brake system for proper
performance. After lowering vehicle from hoist, brake test should
be performed.
Parking Brake Inspection and Adjustment
INSPECTION
Hold center of parking brake lever grip and pull it up with 20 kg
(44 Ibs) force.
With parking brake lever pulled up as above, count ratchet
notches.
There should be 6 to 8 notches.
Also, check if both right and left rear wheels are locked firmly. To
count number of notches easily, listen to click sounds that ratchet
makes while pulling parking brake lever without pressing its but-
ton.
One click sound corresponds to one notch.NOTE:
Be sure to use particular brake fluid either as indicated
on reservoir cap of that vehicle or recommended in
owner’s manual which comes along with that vehicle.
Use of any other fluid is strictly prohibited.
Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX lines marked
on reservoir.
When brake warning lamp lights sometimes during driv-
ing, replenish fluid to MAX level.
When fluid decreases quickly, inspect brake system for
leakage.
Correct leaky points and then refill to specified level.
CAUTION:
Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other fluid which
contains mineral oil. Do not use a container which has
been used for mineral oil or a container which is wet from
water. Mineral oil will cause swelling and distortion of
rubber parts in hydraulic brake system and water mixed
into brake fluid will lower fluid boiling point. Keep all fluid
containers capped to prevent contamination.

Radiator Cap
A pressure-vent cap is used on the radiator. The cap contains a
pressure valve (1) and ventilation valve (2).
The cap has its face marked 1.1, which means that its pressure
valve opens at 1.1 kg/cm
2 (15.6 psi, 110 kPa).
Coolant Reservoir
A “see-through” plastic reservoir (1) is connected to the radiator
by a hose.
Coolant level should be between “FULL” level mark (2) and
“LOW” level mark (3) on the reservoir.
Coolant should be added only to the reservoir as necessary.NOTE:
Do not remove radiator cap to check engine coolant
level; check coolant visually at the see-through coolant
reservoir.
Coolant should be added only to reservoir as necessary.
WARNING:
As long as there is pressure in the cooling system, the
temperature can be considerably higher than the boiling
temperature of the solution in the radiator without caus-
ing the solution to boil. Removal of the radiator cap while
engine is hot and pressure is high will cause the solution
to boil instantaneously and possibly with explosive force,
spewing the solution over engine, fenders and person
removing cap. If the solution contains flammable anti-
freeze such as alcohol (not recommended for use at any
time), there is also the possibility or causing a serious
fire.
[A]: At air bleed 3. From reservoir
[B]: At valves closed 4. To reservoir
[C]: At pressure relief 5. Pressure in radiator
[D]: At vacuum relief
NOTE:
When installing reservoir cap, set arrow marks (4) on the
reservoir and cap as the figure.

On-Vehicle Service
Ignition Spark Test
1) Disconnect all injector connectors (1) from injectors.
2) Remove cylinder head upper cover.
3) Remove spark plug and check it for condition and type refer-
ring to “Spark Plugs” in this section.
4) If OK, connect ignition coil connector to ignition coil assem-
bly and connect spark plug to ignition coil assembly or high-
tension cord. Ground spark plug.
5) Crank engine and check if each spark plug sparks.
6) If no spark is emitted, inspect the related parts as described
under “Diagnosis” earlier in this section.
High-tension Cords
1) Remove cylinder head upper cover and disconnect high-ten-
sion cords (2) from ignition coil assemblies (1) while gripping
each cap.
2) Pull out high-tension cords from spark plugs while gripping
each cap.
3) Measure resistance of high-tension cord (1) by using ohm-
meter.
High-tension cord resistance
4 – 10 k
Ω/m (1.2 – 3.0 kΩ/ft)
4) If resistance exceeds specification, replace high-tension
cord(s). WARNING:
Without disconnection of injector couplers, combustible
gas may come out from spark plug holes during this test
and may get ignited in engine room.
CAUTION:
Removal of high-tension cords together with clamps
will be recommended so as not to damage their inside
wire (resistive conductor).
For the same reason, pull out each connection by grip-
ping cap portion.
