GEARSHIFT OR SELECTOR LEVER (TRANSMISSION)
Check gear shift or selector lever for smooth shifting to all positions and for good performance of transmission in
any position.
With automatic transmission equipped vehicle, also check that shift indicator indicates properly according to
which position selector lever is shifted to.
With automatic transmission equipped vehicle, make sure that vehicle is at complete stop when shifting selector
lever to “P” range position and release all brakes.
BRAKE
Foot Brake
Check the following:
that brake pedal has proper travel,
that brake works properly,
that it is free from noise,
that braking force is applied equally on all wheels,
and that brake do not drag.
Parking Brake
Check that lever has proper travel.
Check to ensure that parking brake is fully effective when the vehicle is stopped on the safe slope and brake
lever is pulled all the way.
STEERING
Check to ensure that steering wheel is free from instability, or abnormally heavy feeling.
Check that the vehicle does not wander or pull to one side.
ENGINE
Check that engine responds readily at all speeds.
Check that engine is free from abnormal noise and abnormal vibration.
BODY, WHEELS AND POWER TRANSMITTING SYSTEM
Check that body, wheels and power transmitting system are free from abnormal noise and abnormal vibration or
any other abnormal condition.
METERS AND GAUGE
Check that speedometer, odometer, fuel meter, temperature gauge, etc. are operating accurately.
LIGHTS
Check that all lights operate properly.
WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER
Periodically check that air comes out from defroster outlet when operating heater or air conditioning.
Set mode control lever to defroster position and fan switch lever to “HI” position for this check. WARNING:
With vehicle parked on a fairly steep slope, make sure nothing is in the way downhill to avoid any per-
sonal injury or property damage. Be prepared to apply regular brake quickly even if vehicle should
start to move.

Fuel pressure relief procedure
After making sure that engine is cold, release fuel pressure as fol-
lows.
1) Place transmission gear shift lever in “Neutral” (Shift selector
lever to “P” range for A/T model), set parking brake, and
block drive wheels.
2) Remove relay box cover.
3) Disconnect fuel pump relay (1) from its connector.
4) Remove fuel filler cap to release fuel vapor pressure in fuel
tank and then reinstall it.
5) Start engine and run it till it stops for lack of fuel. Repeat
cranking engine 2-3 times for about 3 seconds each time to
dissipate fuel pressure in lines. Fuel connections are now
safe for servicing.
6) Upon completion of servicing, connect fuel pump relay (1) to
its connector.
Fuel leakage check procedure
After performing any service on fuel system, check to make sure
that there are no fuel leakages as follows.
1) Turn ON ignition switch for 3 seconds (to operate fuel pump)
and then turn it OFF.
Repeat this (ON and OFF) 3 or 4 times and apply fuel pres-
sure to fuel line. (till fuel pressure is felt by hand placed on
fuel feed hose.)
2) In this state, check to see that there are no fuel leakages
from any part of fuel system. CAUTION:
This work must not be done when engine is hot. If done
so, it may cause adverse effect to catalyst.

Scan Tool Data
As the data values given below are standard values estimated on the basis of values obtained from the normally
operating vehicles by using a scan tool, use them as reference values. Even when the vehicle is in good condi-
tion, there may be cases where the checked value does not fall within each specified data range. Therefore,
judgment as abnormal should not be made by checking with these data alone.
Also, conditions in the below table that can be checked by the scan tool are those detected by ECM and output
from ECM as commands and there may be cases where the engine or actuator is not operating (in the condi-
tion) as indicated by the scan tool. Be sure to use the timing light to check the ignition timing.
NOTE:
With the generic scan tool, only star (
✱
✱✱ ✱) marked data in the table below can be read.
The triangle (
∆
∆∆ ∆) marked data in the table below can not be read for vehicle without immobilizer indi-
cator lamp at combination meter.
When checking the data with the engine running at idle or racing, be sure to shift M/T gear to the
neutral gear position and A/T gear to the “Park” position and pull the parking brake fully. Also, if
nothing or “no load” is indicated, turn OFF A/C, all electric loads, P/S and all the other necessary
switches.

On-Vehicle Service
Accelerator cable adjustment
1) With throttle valve closed, check accelerator pedal play
which should be within following specification.
If measured value is out of specification, adjust it to specifi-
cation with cable adjusting nut (1).
Accelerator pedal play
“a” : 2 – 7 mm (0.08 – 0.27 in.)
2) With accelerator pedal depressed fully, check clearance
between throttle lever (2) and lever stopper (3) (throttle
body) which should be within following specification.
If measured value is out of specification, adjust it to specifi-
cation by changing height of pedal stopper bolt (1).
Accelerator cable adjustment clearance
(With pedal depressed fully)
“a” : 0.5 – 2.0 mm (0.02 – 0.07 in.)
Idle speed / idle air control (IAC) duty inspection
Before idle speed / IAC duty check, make sure of the following.
Lead wires and hoses of Electronic Fuel Injection and engine
emission control systems are connected securely.
Accelerator cable has some play, that is, it is not tight.
Valve lash is checked and adjusted according to mainte-
nance schedule.
Ignition timing is within specification.
All accessories (wipers, heater, lights, A/C, etc.) are out of
service.
Air cleaner has been properly installed and is in good condi-
tion.
No abnormal air inhaling from air intake system.
After above items are all confirmed, check idle speed and IAC
duty as follows.
NOTE:
Before starting engine, place transmission gear shift
lever in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A/T
vehicle), and set parking brake and block drive wheels.

Fuel cut operation
INSPECTION
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) While listening to sound of injector (1) by using sound scope
(2) or such, increase engine speed to higher than 3,000 r/
min.
3) Check to make sure that sound to indicate operation of injec-
tor stops when throttle valve is closed instantly and it is
heard again when engine speed is reduced to less than
about 2,000 r/min.
A/C condenser fan control system
SYSTEM INSPECTION
Check system for operation referring to “Flow Table B-7” in Sec-
tion 6.
If A/C condenser fan fails to operate properly, check relay, A/C
condenser fan and electrical circuit.
A/C condenser fan
INSPECTION
1) Check continuity between each two terminals.
If there is no continuity, replace A/C condenser fan motor. NOTE:
Before inspection, check to make sure that gear shift
lever is in neutral position (with A/T model, selector lever
in “P” range), A/C is OFF and that parking brake lever is
pulled all the way up.
WARNING:
Keep hands, tools, and clothing away from A/C con-
denser fan to help prevent personal injury. This fan is
electric and can come on whether or not the engine is
running. The fan can start automatically in response to
the ECT sensor with the ignition switch in the “ON” posi-
tion.
