Filament Check
1. Attach probe circuit tester (in volt range) to middle portion of
each ®lament.
+When measuring voltage, wrap tin foil around the top of
the negative probe. Then press the foil against the wire
with your ®nger.
2. To locate burned out point, move probe to left and right along
®lament. Test needle will swing abruptly when probe passes the
point.
+If a ®lament is burned out, circuit tester registers 0 or 12
volts.

+A momentary hum or pop should be heard.
Antenna inspection
Using a jumper wire, clip an auxiliary ground between antenna and body.
+If reception improves, check antenna ground (at body surface).
+If reception does not improve, check main feeder cable for short circuit or open circuit.
Radio inspection
All voltage inspections are made with:
+Ignition switch ON or ACC
+Radio ON
+Radio connected (If removed for inspection, supply a ground to the case using a jumper wire.)

3. Remove the changer for repair.
Testing magazines and discs
1. Con®rm discs are installed correctly into the magazine (not upside down).
2. Visually inspect/compare the customer's discs with each other and other discs.
Identify any of the following conditions:
+Discs with a large outside diameter. [Normal size is 120 mm (4.72 in).]
+Discs with rough or lipped edges.
+Discs with excessive thickness [Normal size is 1.2 mm (0.047 in).]
+Discs with scratches, abrasions, or pits on the surface.
+Discs with grease/oil, ®ngerprints, foreign material.
+Discs are warped due to excessive heat exposure.
3. Slide/place the discs in and out of the various magazine positions.
Identify any discs and/or positions that require additional force for placement/ejection. If interference
(sticking, excessive tensions) is found, replace the magazine or the discs.
Note:
+Discs which are marginally out of speci®cation (ex. dirty, scratched and so on) may play correctly
on a home stereo.
However, when used in the automotive environment skipping may occur due to the added vehicle
movement and/or vibration due to road conditions. Autochangers should not be replaced when
discs are at fault.
+Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the discs starting from the center outward in radial direction. Never
use chemical cleaning solutions to clean the discs.

Parts Requiring Angular Tightening
+Some important engine parts are tightened using an angular-
tightening method rather than a torque setting method.
+If these parts are tightened using a torque setting method, dis-
persal of the tightening force (axial bolt force) will be two or
three times that of the dispersal produced by using the correct
angular-tightening method.
+Although the torque setting values (described in this manual)
are equivalent to those used when bolts and nuts are tightened
with an angular-tightening method, they should be used for
reference only.
+To assure the satisfactory maintenance of the engine, bolts and
nuts must be tightened using an angular-tightening method.
+Before tightening the bolts and nuts, ensure that the thread and
seating surfaces are clean and then coated with engine oil.
+The bolts and nuts which require the angular-tightening method
are cylinder head bolts.
Liquid Gasket Application Procedure
a. Before applying liquid gasket, use a scraper to remove all
traces of old liquid gasket from mating surface.
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating sur-
faces. (Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.)
+Be sure liquid gasket is speci®ed width (for oil pan) 3.5
to 4.5 mm (0.138 to 0.177 in) for gasoline engine.
+Be sure liquid gasket is 2.0 to 3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118
in) wide in areas except oil pan for TB and RD series
engines and 2.5 to 3.5 mm (0.098 to 0.138 in) for TD
series engine.
c. Apply liquid gasket to inner surface around hole perimeter
area.
(Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.)
d. Wait at least 30 minutes before re®lling engine oil and
engine coolant.
