BLEEDING
M1372002200330
Perform air bleeding procedure as necessary after
replacing the steering gear or the steering fluid lines.
1. Raise and support the front wheels.
2. Disconnect the ignition coil connectors (Refer to GROUP 16, Ignition Coil
P.16-38 or P.16-39).
CAUTION
Perform air bleeding only while cranking the
engine. If air bleeding is performed while the
engine is running, air could enter the fluid. Dur
-
ing air bleeding, refill the steering fluid supply so
that the level never falls below the "MIN" mark on
the oil reservoir.
3. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and
right five or six times wh ile using the starter motor
to crank the engine intermittently several times
(for 15 to 20 seconds).
4. Connect the ignition coil connectors (Refer to GROUP 16, Ignition Coil
P.16-38 or P.16-39).
5. Start the engine (idling).
6. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right until there are no air bubbles in the oil reservoir.
7. Confirm that the fluid is not milky, and that the level is between "MAX" and "MIN" marks.
8. Confirm that there is very little change in the fluid
level when the steering wheel is turned left and
right.
CAUTION
If the fluid level rises suddenly after the engine is
stopped, the air has not been completely bled. If
air bleeding is not complete, there will be abnor
-
mal noises from the pump and the flow-control
valve, and this condition could cause reduce the
life of the power steering components.

the air has not been completely bled from the
system. The air bleeding procedure must be
repeated.

HOW TO REGISTER SECRET CODE
M1428001000292
Each individual secret code is registered inside the
transmitter, and so it is necessary to resister these
codes with the EEPROM insi de the receiver in the
following cases.
•When the transmitter or ETACS-ECU is replaced
•If more transmitters are to be used
•If it appears that a probl em is occurring because
of faulty registration of a code.
A maximum of four different codes can be stored in
the EEPROM memory (four different transmitters can
be used). When the code for the first transmitter is
registered, the previously registered codes for all
transmitters are cleared. Therefore, if you are using
four transmitters or are adding more transmitters, the
codes for all transmitters must be registered at the
same time.

4. Press the hazard warning lamp switch six times
within 10 seconds.
NOTE: Once the process is completed six times,
then it will operate with al l doors and tailgate lock
and unlock operations once and then go to the
save mode.
NOTE: The hazard warning lamp switch is turned
on and off alternately whenever it is pushed.
5. Press the transmitter switch, and then press it two times within 10 seconds of the first press. This will
register the code.
6. Once the program is saved, it will operate once
with the all doors and tailgate lock and unlock
operations.
7. If you are using two or more transmitters or have
added a second transmitter, the next transmitter
should be registered within one minute after
registering the code for the previous transmitter.
The registration procedure is common for all the
transmitter.
8. Registration mode will be cancelled under the following conditions:
•When the secret code for four transmitters has
been registered;
•When no secret codes have been registered for
more than one minute after the registration mode
is entered;
•When passing one minute after finishing the reg-
istration of all transmitters;
•When the diagnosis connector is disconnected
from earth;
•When the key is removed from the key cylinder;
9. After the registration is completed, remove the ignition key and close all the doors, and then
check that the keyless entry system operates
normally.
WHEN THE M.U.T.-II IS USED
1. Check that the doors lock normally when the key
