3) Install bump stopper and strut dust cover onto strut
rod. For installing direction, refer to the figure in
“Front Strut Assembly Components”.
4) Pull strut rod as far up as possible and use care not
to allow it to retract into strut.
5) Install spring seat on coil spring and then spring
upper seat (1) aligning “OUT” mark (3) on spring
upper seat and center of strut bracket (2).
6) Install bearing (3), strut support (2) and strut support
lower nut (1) in this sequence.
Tighten strut support lower nut (1) to specified
torque.
When tightening strut support lower nut, hold stud
with hexagon wrench.
Tightening torque
Strut support lower nut (a): 55 N·m (5.5 kgf-m,
40.0 lb-ft)Front Strut Assembly CheckS6RW0D2206005
• Inspect strut for oil leakage, damage or deformation.
If defect is found, replace strut as an assembly unit,
because it can not be disassembled.
• Inspect strut function referring to the following
procedures:
1) Check and adjust tire pressures as specified.
2) Bounce vehicle body up and down 3 or 4 times
continuously by pushing front end of the vehicle side
body to check strut.
Also, note how many times vehicle body rebounds to
stop after force application.
3) Repeat the same procedure to the other strut to
confirm that the both side struts equally respond.
If conditions of struts are in doubt, compare them with
known-good vehicle or strut.
• Inspect bearing for wear, abnormal noise or gripping.
If defective, replace.
• Inspect coil spring seat for cracks or deformation.
If defective, replace.
• Inspect bump stopper for deterioration.
If defective, replace.
• Inspect rebound stopper and strut mount for wear,
cracks or deformation.
If defective, replace.

• Inspect for deformation or damage.
• Inspect bushings for wear or damage.
• Inspect for evidence of oil leakage.
Replace any defective parts.
WARNING!
When handling rear shock absorber (1) in
which high-pressure gas is sealed, make
sure to observe the following precautions.
• Don’t disassemble it.
• Don’t put it into the fire.
• Don’t store it where it gets hot.
• Before disposing it, be sure to drill a hole
(approximately 3 mm (0.12 in.) diameter)
(2) in it where indicated by arrow in the
figure and let gas and oil out.
Be sure to wear eye shield since the gas
itself is harmless but the absorber drill
hole debris maybe blown out.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Brakes Diagnosis NoteS6RW0D4104001
Road Testing Brakes
Brakes should be tested on dry, clean, smooth and
reasonably level roadway which is not crowned. Road
test brakes by making brake applications with both light
and heavy pedal forces at various speeds to determine if
the vehicle stops evenly and effectively. Also drive
vehicle to see if it leads to one side or the other without
brake application. If it does, check the tire pressure, front
wheel alignment and front suspension attachments for
looseness. See diagnosis table for other causes.
Brake Fluid Leaks
Check the master cylinder fluid levels. While a slight
drop in reservoir level does result from normal lining
wear, an abnormally low level indicates a leak in the
system. In such a case, check the entire brake system
for leakage. If even a slight evidence of leakage is noted,
the cause should be corrected or defective parts should
be replaced.Substandard or Contaminated Brake Fluid
Improper brake fluid, mineral oil or water in the fluid may
cause the brake fluid to boil or the rubber components
(piston cups and brake hoses) in the hydraulic system to
deteriorate.
If the above fluid is included in the system, replace the
master cylinder assembly and other rubber components
(hoses). The master cylinder assembly is disassemble
parts to maintain the performance.
The system must be flushed if there is any doubt as to
the grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used
which contained parts that have been subjected to
contaminated fluid.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) CheckS6RW0D5104003
Refer to the same item in “Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Check in Section 1A” for checking procedure.
Transmission Warning Light Check (Non-Euro-OBD model)S6RW0D5104053
1) Turn ignition switch ON.
2) Check that transmission warning light lights for about 2 – 4 sec. and then goes OFF.
If anything faulty is found, advance “Transmission Warning Light Circuit Check – Light Does Not Come “ON” at
Ignition Switch ON (Non-Euro-OBD Model)” or “Transmission Warning Light Circuit Check – Light Remains “ON”
at Ignition Switch ON (Non-Euro-OBD Model)”.
DTC TableS6RW0D5104004
NOTE
• There are two types of OBD system depending on the vehicle specification.For identification, refer
to “Precaution on On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System in Section 1A”.
• For non-Euro-OBD model, some of DTC No. with (*) mark in the following table can not be detected
by TCM depending on vehicle specification and local regulation.
• With the CAN communication OBD generic scan tool, DTC No. with delta (U) mark in the following
table can not be read.
• A: Driving cycles when MIL lighting and storing DTC in TCM memory for Euro OBD model.
• B: Driving cycles when transmission warning light lighting and storing DTC in TCM memory for non-
Euro-OBD model.
• 1 driving cycle: MIL or transmission warning light lights up when DTC is detected during 1 driving
cycle.
• 2 driving cycles: MIL or transmission warning light lights up when the same DTC is detected also in
the next driving cycle after DTC is detected and stored temporarily in the first driving cycle.
• Driving cycle with (*): MIL or transmission warning light does not light up but TCM detects and
stores DTC.

Also check the following items at engine start, if possible.
• Malfunction indicator lamp ----- Operation “Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Check”
• Transmission warning light ----- Operation “Transmission Warning Light Check (Non-Euro-
OBD model)”
• Charge warning lamp ----- Operation “Generator Symptom Diagnosis in Section 1J”
• Engine oil pressure warning lamp ----- Operation “Oil Pressure Warning Light Symptom Diagnosis in
Section 9C”
• Engine coolant temp. meter ----- Operation “Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Meter
Symptom Diagnosis in Section 9C”

Stall TestS6RW0D5104013
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transaxle and engine by measuring stall speed at “D” and “R”
ranges. Be sure to perform this test only when transaxle fluid is at normal operating temperature and its level is
between FULL and LOW marks.
CAUTION!
• Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continuously, or fluid temperature may rise
excessively high.
• After performing stall test, be sure to leave engine running at idle for longer than 1 minute before
another stall test.

1) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2) Install tachometer.
3) Start engine with select lever shifted to “P” range.
4) Depress brake pedal fully.
5) Shift select lever to “D” range and depress accelerator pedal fully while watching tachometer. Read engine rpm
quickly when it has become constant (stall speed).
6) Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is checked.
7) In the same way, check stall speed in “R” range.
8) Stall speed should be within the following specification.
Engine stall speed
Standard: 2,200 – 2,600 rpm

Time Lag TestS6RW0D5104014
This test is to check conditions of clutch, brake and fluid pressure. “Time lag” means time elapsed since select lever is
shifted with engine idling till shock is felt.
1) With chocks placed before and behind front and rear wheels respectively, depress brake pedal.
2) Start engine.
3) With stop watch ready, shift select lever from “N” to “D” range and measure time from that moment till shock is felt.
4) Similarly measure time lag by shifting select lever from “N” to “R” range.
Gear shifting time lag
“N” → “D”: Less than 0.7 sec.
“N” → “R”: Less than 1.2 sec.
NOTE
• When repeating this test, be sure to wait at least one minute after select lever is shifted back to “N”
range.
• Engine should be warmed up fully for this test.
• Repeat test 3 times and take average of those data for final time lag data.

Troubleshooting
Line Pressure TestS6RW0D5104015
Purpose of this test is to check operating conditions of each part by measuring fluid pressure in fluid pressure line.
Line pressure test requires the following conditions.
• Automatic fluid is at normal operating temperature (70 – 80 °C / 158 – 176 °F).
• Fluid is replenished to proper level (between FULL and LOW on dipstick).
• Air conditioner switch is turned OFF.
1) Apply parking brake securely and place chocks against wheels.
2) Remove fluid pressure check hole plug bolt.
3) Attach oil pressure gauge to fluid pressure check hole in transaxle case.
