1. If the system indicators stay on, connect the HDS to
the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the
driver’s side of the dashboard.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the VSA modulator-control unit. If it doesn’t,
troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11- 204).
4. Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for all systems, troubleshoot the powertrain DTCs first
and note it. Then refer to the indicated DTC’s
troubleshooting, and do the appropriate
troubleshooting procedure.
NOTE: The HDS communication stops when the vehicle speed is at 50 km/h (31 mph) or more.
 The HDS reads the DTC, current data, and other system data.
 For specific operations, refer to the Help menu that came with the HDS. 1. With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), connect the
HDS to the data link connector (DLC) under the
driver’s side of the dashboard.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the VSA modulator-control unit. If it doesn’t
troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11-204).
4. Follow the prompts on the HDS to display the DTC(s) on the screen. After determining the DTC,
refer to the DTC troubleshooting. Do the all
systems DTC check, and troubleshoot any
powertrain DTCs first.
5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
1. With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) under the
driver’s side of the dashboard.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the VSA modulator-control unit. If it doesn’t
troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11-204).
4. Clear the DTC(s) by following the screen prompts on the HDS.

NOTE:
 Put on gloves to protect your hands.
 Wear eye protection while cutting the glass adhesive with a piano wire.
 Use seat covers to avoid damaging the seat.
 When replacing a broken windshield, a commercially available windshield cutter can be efficiently used for
cutting the adhesive. For details, follow the tool
manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Remove these items:  Windshield wiper arms (see page 22-233)
 Cowl covers (see page 20-163)
 Rearview mirror (see page 20-35)
 A-pillar trim, both sides (see page 20-69)
 Roof moldings (see page 20-165)
2. Remove the molding (A) from the upper edge of the windshield (B). If necessary, cut the molding with a
utility knife.
3. If the old windshield will be reinstalled, make alignment marks across the glass and the body
with a grease pencil.
4. Pull down the front portion of the headliner (see page 20-84). Take care not to bend the
headliner excessively, or you may crease or break
it.
5. Apply protective tape along the edge of the dashboard and the body. Make a hole with an awl
through the rubber dam and adhesive from inside
the vehicle at a corner of the windshield. Push a
piece of piano wire through the hole, and wrap
each end around a piece of wood. 6. With a helper on the outside, pull the piano wire (A)
back and forth in a sawing motion. Hold the piano
wire as close to the windshield (B) as possible to
prevent damage to the body and the dashboard.
Carefully cut through the rubber dam and adhesive
(C) around the entire windshield.
7. Carefully remove the windshield.

8. Scrape smooth the old adhesive, using a puttyknife or similar tool, until there is a thickness of
about 2 mm (0.08 in.) on the bonding surface
around the entire windshield opening flange:
 Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the body; damaged paint will interfere with proper
bonding.
 Remove the rubber dam and fasteners from the body.
 Replace the dashboard seal with a new one.
9. Clean the body bonding surface with a shop towel dampened in isopropyl alcohol. After cleaning,
keep oil, grease and water from getting on the
clean surface.
10. If the old windshield will be reinstalled, scrape off the old adhesive, the fasteners, and the rubber dam
from the windshield with a putty knife. Clean the
bonding surfaces on the inside face and the edge of
the windshield with isopropyl alcohol. Make sure
the bonding surface is kept free of water, oil, and
grease. 11. Attach the upper rubber dam (A), the lower rubber
dam (B), and the clips (C) with adhesive tape to the
inside face of the windshield (D) as shown:
 Be sure the rubber dam and the clips line up with the alignment marks (E).
 Be sure the convex portion (F) of the left and the right clips faces the left side.
 Be careful not to touch the windshield where adhesive will be applied.

9. Carefully apply a light coat of body primer with asponge applicator to any exposed paint or metal
around the flange where new adhesive will be
applied. Let the primer dry for at least 10 minutes:
 Do not apply body primer to any remaining original adhesive on the flange.
 Be careful not to mix up the body and glass primer sponge applicators.
 Never touch the primed surfaces with your hands.
 Mask off the dashboard before painting the flange.
10. Cut a ‘‘V’’ in the end of the nozzle (A) on the adhesive cartridge as shown. 11. Put the cartridge in a caulking gun, and run a
continuous bead of adhesive (A) around the front
corner glass (B) as shown:
 With the printed dots (C) on the front corner glass as a guide, apply the adhesive to both side
portions of the front corner glass.
 Apply the adhesive within 30 minutes after applying the glass primer. Make a slightly thicker
bead at each corner.
