Exhaust System InspectionS7RS0B0206006
WARNING! 
To avoid danger of being burned, do not 
touch exhaust system when it is still hot.
Any service on exhaust system should be 
performed when it is cool.
 
When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the vehicle 
is raised for other service, check exhaust system as 
follows:
• Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration,  and out of position.
• Check exhaust system for leakage, loose  connections, dents and damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose,  tighten them to specification.
• Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing or  mispositioned parts, ope n seams, holes, loose 
connections or other defects which could permit 
exhaust fumes to seep into the vehicle.
• Make sure that exhaust system components have  enough clearance from the underbody to avoid 
overheating and possible damage to floor carpet.
• Any defects should be fixed at once.
Spark Plug ReplacementS7RS0B0206007
Replace spark plugs with new ones referring to “Spark 
Plug Removal and Installation in Section 1H”.
Air Cleaner Filter InspectionS7RS0B0206008
1) Remove air cleaner case clamps.
2) Take air cleaner filter out of case.
3) Check that filter is not excessively dirty, damaged or  oily, clean filter with compressed air from air outlet 
side of filter.
4) Install air cleaner filter  and Clamp cap securely.
Air Cleaner Filter ReplacementS7RS0B0206009
Replace air cleaner filter with new one according to 
Steps 1), 2) and 4) of “Air Cleaner Filter Inspection”.
Fuel Lines and Connections InspectionS7RS0B0206010
Visually inspect fuel lines and connections for evidence 
of fuel leakage, hose cracking and damage. Make sure 
all clamps are secure.
Repair leaky joints, if any.
Replace hoses that are suspected of being cracked.

Automatic Transaxle Fluid Level InspectionS7RS0B0206028
1) Inspect transaxle case for evidence of fluid leakage.Repair leaky point, if any.
2) Make sure that vehicle is placed level for fluid level  check.
3) Check fluid level under spec ified conditions referring 
to “A/T Fluid Level Check in Section 5A”.
If fluid level is low, replenish specified fluid.
Automatic Transaxle Fluid ReplacementS7RS0B0206029
1) Inspect transaxle case for evidence of fluid leakage. Repair leaky point, if any.

leakage, cracks, damage and deterioration.
Replace hose and/or clamp if any faulty condition is 
found.
All Latches, Hinges and Locks InspectionS7RS0B0206031
Doors
Check that each door of front, rear and back doors 
opens and closes smoothly  and locks securely when 
closed.
If any malfunction is found,  lubricate hinge and latch or 
repair door lock system.
Engine Hood
Check that secondary latch  operates properly (check 
that secondary latch keeps hood from opening all the 
way even when pulling hood release handle inside 
vehicle.) Also check that hood opens and closes 
smoothly and properly and hood locks securely when 
closed.
If any malfunction is found, l ubricate hinge and latch, or

Step 2: DTC / Freeze Frame Data Check, Record and 
Clearance
First, check DTC (including pending DTC), referring to 
“DTC Check”. If DTC is indicated, print it and freeze 
frame data or write them down and then clear them by 
referring to “DTC Clearance”. DTC indicates malfunction 
that occurred in the system but does not indicate 
whether it exists now or it occurred in the past and the 
normal condition has been restored now. To check which 
case applies, check the sy mptom in question according 
to Step 5 and recheck DTC according to Step 6 and 7.
Attempt to diagnose a trouble based on DTC in this step 
only or failure to  clear the DTC in this step will lead to 
incorrect diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit 
or difficulty in troubleshooting.
Step 3 and 4: Visual Inspection
As a preliminary step, be sure  to perform visual check of 
the items that support proper function of the engine 
referring to “Visual Inspection”.
Step 5: Trouble Symptom Confirmation
Based on information obtained in “Step 1: Customer 
Complaint Analysis: ” and “Step 2: DTC / Freeze Frame 
Data Check, Record and Clearance: ”, confirm trouble 
symptoms. Also, reconfirm  DTC according to “DTC 
Confirmation Procedure” described in each DTC diag. 
flow.
Step 6 and 7: Rechecking and Record of DTC / 
Freeze Frame Data
Refer to “DTC Check” for checking procedure.
Step 8: Engine Basic Inspection and Engine 
Symptom Diagnosis
Perform basic engine check according to “Engine Basic 
Inspection” first. When the  end of the flow has been 
reached, check the parts of the system suspected as a 
possible cause referring to “Engine Symptom Diagnosis” 
and based on symptoms appearing on the vehicle 
(symptoms obtained through steps of customer 
complaint analysis, trouble symptom confirmation and/or 
basic engine check) and repair or replace faulty parts, if 
any.
Step 9: Troubleshooting for DTC (See each DTC 
Diag. Flow)
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 or 7 and referring 
to the applicable DTC diag. flow, locate the cause of the 
trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, 
connector, actuator, ECM or other part and repair or 
replace faulty parts. Step 10: Intermittent Problems Check
Check parts where an intermit
tent trouble is easy to 
occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to 
“Intermittent and Poor Connec tion Inspection in Section 
00” and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
Step 11: Final Confirmation Test
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the 
engine is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has 
been repaired is re lated to the DTC, clear the DTC once, 
perform DTC confirmation procedure and confirm that no 
DTC is indicated.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) CheckS7RS0B1104002
1) Turn ON ignition switch (with engine at stop) and  check that MIL (1) lights.
If MIL does not light up (or MIL dims) but engine can 
be starting, go to “MIL Does Not Come ON with 
Ignition Switch ON and Engine Stop (but Engine Can 
Be Started)” for troubleshooting.
If MIL does not light with ignition switch ON and 
engine does not start though it is cranked up, go to 
“ECM Power and Ground Circuit Check”.
2) Start engine and check that MIL turns OFF. If MIL remains ON and no DTC is stored in ECM, go 
to “Malfunction Indicator Lamp Remains ON after 
Engine Starts” for troubleshooting.
