IGNITION COIL (WITH BUILT-IN POWER
TRANSISTOR) CHECK
Check by the following procedure, and replace if there is
a malfunction.
SECONDARY COIL RESISTANCE CHECK
Measure the resistance between the high-voltage terminals
of the ignition coil.
Standard value: 8.5 - 11.5 kΩ
PRIMARY COIL AND POWER TRANSISTOR
CONTINUITY CHECK
NOTE
1. An analogue-type circuit tester should be used.
2. Connect the negative ( - ) prove of the circuit tester to
terminal 1.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10
seconds) to prevent coil from burning and power
transistor from breakage.

REAR AXLE -General Information27B-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
The rear axle consists of rear hubs, wheel bearings,
drive shafts, and rear differential and, it has the
following features.
DThe wheel bearing is a unit bearing (double-row
angular contact ball bearing).
DThe drive shaft incorporates B.J.-T.J. type
constant velocity joints with high transmission
efficiency and low vibration and noise.DABS rotors for detecting the wheel speeds are
press-fitted to the B.J. outer wheels in vehicles
with ABS or ACD.
NOTE
1. B.J.: Birfield Joint
2. T.J.: Tripod Joint

PRESS-FITTING
"DADRIVE PINION HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the drive pinion height by the following procedures:
1. Apply multipurpose grease to the washer of special tool.
2. Install special tool and drive pinion front and rear bearing
inner races to the gear carrier in the sequence shown
in the illustration.
3. Tighten the nut of special tool a little at a time while
measuring the turning torque of the drive pinion. Then
confirm the turning torque (without the oil seal) is at the
standard value.
Standard value:
Bearing typeTurning torque
New0.88 - 1.17 N·m
Caution
Take care not to fit gear oil on the bearing.
NOTE
The special tool can not rotate, move several times in
moving area, after rotating the bearing, measure the
torque.

3. Measure the drive pinion turning torque (without the oil
seal).
Standard value:
Bearing divisionTurning torque
New0.88 - 1.17 N·m
Caution
Take care not to fit gear oil on the bearing.
4. If the drive pinion turning torque is not within the standard
value, adjust the turning torque by replacing the drive
pinion front shim(s) or the drive pinion spacer.
NOTE
When selecting the drive pinion front shims, if the number
of shims is large, reduce the number of shims to a minimum
by selecting the drive pinion spacers.
Also, select the drive pinion spacer from the following
two types.
Height of drive pinion spacer mmIdentification colour
57.72-
57.08Red
5. Remove the companion flange and drive pinion again.
Then insert the drive pinion front bearing inner race into
the gear carrier. Use special tool to press-fit the oil seal.
6. Install the drive pinion assembly and companion flange
with mating marks properly aligned. Tighten the
companion flange self-locking nut to the specified torque
using special tool.
