TERMINALS OF ECM
HINT:
The standard normal voltage between each pair of ECM
terminals is shown in the table below. The appropriate
conditions for checking each pair of terminals are also
indicated. The result of checks should be compared with the
standard normal voltage for that pair of terminals, displayed in
the Specified Condition column. The illustration above can be
used as a reference to identify the ECM terminal locations.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK IGNITION COIL ASSEMBLY AND PERFORM
SPARK TEST
NOTICE:
In this section, the terms "cold" and "hot" refer to
the temperature of the coils. "Cold" means
approximately -10 to 50
C (14 to 122F). "Hot" means
approximately 50 to 100
C (122 to 212F).
(a) Check the DTCs.
NOTICE:
If a DTC is present, perform troubleshooting in
accordance with the procedure for that DTC.
(b) Check that sparks occur.
(1) Remove the No. 1 engine cover.
(2) Remove the bolt and ignition coil.
(3) Using a 16 mm spark plug wrench, remove the
spark plug.
(4) Disconnect the 4 fuel injector connectors.
(5) Install the spark plug into the ignition coil, and
then connect the ignition coil connectors.
(6) Ground the spark plug.
(7) Check that sparks occur at the spark plug while
the engine is being cranked.
NOTICE:
• Be sure to ground the spark plugs when
checking them.
• If the ignition coil has been struck or
dropped, replace it.
• Do not crank the engine for more than 2
seconds.
If sparks do not occur, Perform the spark test.
(8) Using a 16 mm plug wrench, install the spark
plug.
Torque: 25 N*m (254 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf)

INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL REAR DIFFERENTIAL SUPPORT
(a) Install the differential support to the differential
carrier with the 4 bolts.
Torque: 98 N*m (999 kgf*cm, 72 ft.*lbf)
2. INSTALL REAR DIFFERENTIAL NO. 1 AND NO. 2
SUPPORT
(a) Install the differential No. 1 and No. 2 supports with
the 4 bolts to the differential carrier.
Torque: 55 N*m (561 kgf*cm, 41 ft.*lbf)
3. INSTALL REAR DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER SUB-
ASSEMBLY
(a) Support the rear differential carrier with a
transmission jack or equivalent
(b) Apply hypoid gear oil to the splines of the left and
right rear drive shaft inboard joints.
(c) Align the splines of the rear drive shaft inboard joints
and, using a brass bar and hammer, tap in the left
and right rear drive shafts.
NOTICE:
• Face the cutout section of the snap ring
downward.
• Do not damage the oil seal during the
insertion.
• Do not strike the tip of the outboard joint with
the hammer.
HINT:
Determine whether or not the rear drive shaft is
completely tapped in by checking for changes in
sound or the reaction force of the brass bar.
