GENERAL MAINTENANCE
(2006/01- )
1. INSPECT STEERING LINKAGE AND GEAR HOUSING
(a) Check the steering wheel free play.
(b) Check the steering linkage for looseness or
damage.
(1) Check that the tie rod ends do not have
excessive play.
(2) Check that the dust seals and boots are not
damaged.
(3) Check that the boot clamps are not loose.
(4) Check that the steering gear housing is not
damaged.
(5) Check that the connectors are properly
connected to the steering gear housing.
2. INSPECT BALL JOINTS AND DUST COVERS
(a) Inspect the ball joints for excessive looseness.
(1) Jack up the front of the vehicle and place
wooden blocks with a height of 180 to 200 mm
(7.09 to 7.87 in.) under the front tires.
(2) Lower the vehicle until the front coil spring has
about half its ordinary load. Place stands under
the vehicle for safety.
(3) Check that the front wheels are pointing
straight ahead. Use wheel chocks on all 4
wheels.
(4) Using a lever, pry up the end of the lower arm.
Check the amount of play.
Maximum ball joint vertical play:
0 mm (0 in.)
If there is any play, replace the ball joint.
(b) Check the dust cover for damage.
3. INSPECT DRIVE SHAFT BOOTS
(a) Check the drive shaft boots for loose clamps,
grease leakage, kinks or damage.
4. INSPECT AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL
(a) Visually check the transmission for fluid leakage. If
oil is leaking, find the cause and repair it.
5. INSPECT TRANSFER OIL (for 4WD)
(a) Visually check the transfer for oil leakage. If oil is
leaking, find the cause and repair it.
6. INSPECT REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL (for 4WD)
(a) For the rear differential oil inspection, refer to the
following procedures (see page DF-3).

MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTS
1. STALL SPEED TEST
HINT:
This test is to check the overall performance of the
engine and transaxle.
NOTICE:
• Do not perform the stall speed test longer than 5
seconds.
• To ensure safety, perform this test in an open and
level area that provides good traction.
• The stall speed test should always be performed
with at least 2 people. One person should observe
the condition of the wheels and wheel chocks
while the other is performing the test.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then
connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
(b) Run the vehicle until the transmission fluid
temperature has reached 50 to 80
C (122 to 176F).
(c) Allow the engine to idle with the air conditioning
OFF.
(d) Chock all 4 wheels.
(e) Set the parking brake and keep the brake pedal
depressed firmly with your left foot.
(f) Move the shift lever to the D position.
(g) Depress the accelerator pedal as much as possible
with your right foot.
(h) Read the engine rpm (stall speed) and release the
accelerator pedal immediately.
Standard value:
2,150 to 2,450 rpm
Evaluation:
NOTICE:
Perform the test at the normal operating ATF
temperature of 50 to 80
C (122 to 176F).
2. SHIFT TIME LAG TEST
HINT:
This test is to check the condition of the direct clutch,
forward clutch, 1st brake and reverse brake.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then
connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
(b) Run the vehicle until the transmission fluid
temperature has reached 50 to 80
C (122 to 176F).
(c) Allow the engine to idle with the air conditioning
OFF.
Test Result Possible Cause
Stall speed is lower than standard value • Stator one-way clutch is not operating properly
• Torque converter is faulty (stall speed is less than standard value
by 600 rpm or more)
• Engine power may be insufficient
Stall speed is higher than standard value • Line pressure is low
• C1 clutch slipping
• F3 one-way clutch is not operating properly
• F4 one-way clutch is not operating properly

speed shown in the above diagram under the lock-up
condition.
NOTICE:
It is necessary to drive the vehicle for approximately 30
minutes to detect DTC P0711 (Transmission fluid
temperature sensor "A" performance).
