Description NAS00068
This volume explains “Removal, Disassembly, Installation, Inspection and Adjustment” and “Trouble Diag-
noses”.
Te r m sNAS00069

The captions WARNING and CAUTION warn you of steps that must be followed to prevent personal
injury and/or damage to some part of the vehicle.
WARNING indicates the possibility of personal injury if instructions are not followed.
CAUTION indicates the possibility of component damage if instructions are not followed.
BOLD TYPED STATEMENTS except WARNING and CAUTION give you helpful information.
Standard value:Tolerance at inspection and adjustment.
Limit value:The maximum or minimum limit value that should not be exceeded at inspection and adjust-
ment.
UnitsNAS0006A

The UNITS given in this manual are primarily expressed as the SI UNIT (International System of Unit),
and alternatively expressed in the metric system and in the yard/pound system.
Also with regard to tightening torque of bolts and nuts, there are descriptions both about range and about
the standard tightening torque.

Range
Standard
ContentsNAS0006B

ALPHABETICAL INDEX is provided at the end of this manual so that you can rapidly find the item and
page you are searching for.

A QUICK REFERENCE INDEX , a black tab (e.g. ) is provided on the first page. You can quickly find
the first page of each section by matching it to the section's black tab.

THE CONTENTS are listed on the first page of each section.

THE TITLE is indicated on the upper portion of each page and shows the part or system.

THE PAGE NUMBER of each section consists of two or three letters which designate the particular sec-
tion and a number (e.g. “BR-5”).

THE SMALL ILLUSTRATIONS show the important steps such as inspection, use of special tools, knacks
of work and hidden or tricky steps which are not shown in the previous large illustrations.
Assembly, inspection and adjustment procedures for the complicated units such as the automatic tran-
saxle or transmission, etc. are presented in a step-by-step format where necessary. Outer Socket Lock Nut : 59 - 78 N·m (6.0 - 8.0 kg-m, 43 - 58 ft-lb)
Drive Shaft Installation Bolt : 44.3 N·m (4.5 kg-m, 33 ft-lb)

Num-
ber Item Description
1 Power condition

This shows the condition when the system receives battery positive voltage (can be oper-
ated).
2 Fusible link

The double line shows that this is a fusible link.

The open circle shows current flow in, and the shaded circle shows current flow out.
3 Fusible link/fuse loca-
tion

This shows the location of the fusible link or fuse in the fusible link or fuse box. For arrange-
ment, refer to PG section, POWER SUPPLY ROUTING.
4Fuse

The single line shows that this is a fuse.

The open circle shows current flow in, and the shaded circle shows current flow out.
5 Current rating

This shows the current rating of the fusible link or fuse.
6 Connectors

This shows that connector E3 is female and connector M1 is male.

The G/R wire is located in the 1A terminal of both connectors.

Terminal number with an alphabet (1A, 5B, etc.) indicates that the connector is SMJ connec-
tor. Refer to PG section, SMJ (SUPER MULTIPLE JUNCTION).
7 Optional splice

The open circle shows that the splice is optional depending on vehicle application.
8 Splice

The shaded circle shows that the splice is always on the vehicle.
9 Page crossing

This arrow shows that the circuit continues to an adjacent page.

The A will match with the A on the preceding or next page.
10 Common connector

The dotted lines between terminals show that these terminals are part of the same connector.
11 Option abbreviation

This shows that the circuit is optional depending on vehicle application.
12 Relay

This shows an internal representation of the relay. For details, refer to PG section, STAN-
DARDIZED RELAY.
13 Connectors

This shows that the connector is connected to the body or a terminal with bolt or nut.

14 Wire color

This shows a code for the color of the wire.
B = Black
W = White
R = Red
G = Green
L = Blue
Y = Yellow
LG = Light Green BR = Brown
OR or O = Orange
P = Pink
PU or V (Violet) = Purple
GY or GR = Gray
SB = Sky Blue
CH = Dark Brown
DG = Dark Green
When the wire color is striped, the base color is given first, followed by the stripe color as shown
below:
Example: L/W = Blue with White Stripe
15 Option description

This shows a description of the option abbreviation used on the page.
16 Switch

This shows that continuity exists between terminals 1 and 2 when the switch is in the A posi-
tion. Continuity exists between terminals 1 and 3 when the switch is in the B position.
17 Assembly parts

Connector terminal in component shows that it is a harness incorporated assembly.
18 Cell code

This identifies each page of the wiring diagram by section, system and wiring diagram page
number.
19 Current flow arrow

Arrow indicates electric current flow, especially where the direction of standard flow (vertically
downward or horizontally from left to right) is difficult to follow.

A double arrow “ ” shows that current can flow in either direction depending on cir-
cuit operation.
20 System branch

This shows that the system branches to another system identified by cell code (section and
system).
21 Page crossing

This arrow shows that the circuit continues to another page identified by cell code.

The C will match with the C on another page within the system other than the next or preced-
ing pages.
22 Shielded line

The line enclosed by broken line circle shows shield wire.
