HARNESS PFP:00011
Harness Layout NKS004ES
HOW TO READ HARNESS LAYOUT
The following Harness Layouts use a map style grid to help locate
connectors on the figures:
Main Harness (Instrument Panel)
Engine Room Harness (Engine Compartment)
Engine Control Harness (Engine Compartment)
Body Harness
Body No. 2 Harness
To Use the Grid Reference
1. Find the desired connector number on the connector list.
2. Find the grid reference.
3. On the figure, find the crossing of the grid reference letter column and number row.
4. Find the connector number in the crossing zone.
5. Follow the line (if used) to the connector.
CONNECTOR SYMBOL
Main symbols of connector (in Harness Layout) are indicated in the below.

On-Vehicle InspectionNDS000EA
APPEARANCE AND NOISE INSPECTION
Check the propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks. If damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.
PROPELLER SHAFT VIBRATION
If vibration is present at high speed, inspect propeller shaft runout first.
1. Measure propeller shaft runout at runout measuring point by
rotating final drive companion flange with hands. For measuring
point, refer to PR-4, "
Propeller Shaft Runout Measuring Point" .
2. If runout still exceeds specifications, separate propeller shaft at
final drive companion flange; then rotate companion flange 90,
180, 270 degrees and install propeller shaft.
3. Check runout again. If runout still exceeds specifications,
replace propeller shaft assembly.
4. Check the vibration by driving vehicle.
