HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
SCOPE OF MAINTENANCE, REPAIR
AND SERVICING EXPLANATIONS
This manual provides explanations, etc. concerning
procedures for the inspection, maintenance, repair
and servicing of the subject model. Note, however,
that for engine and transmission-related component
parts, this manual covers only on-vehicle
inspections, adjustments, and the removal and
installation procedures for major components.
For detailed information concerning the inspection,
checking, adjustment, disassembly and reassembly
of the engine, transmission and major components
after they have been removed from the vehicle,
please refer to separate manuals covering the
engine and the transmission.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
“On-vehicle Service” is procedures for performing
inspections and adjustments of particularly
important locations with regard to the construction
and for maintenance and servicing, but other
inspection (for looseness, play, cracking, damage,
etc.) must also be performed.
INSPECTION
Under this title are presented inspection and
checking procedures to be performed by using
special tools and measuring instruments and by
feeling, but, for actual maintenance and servicing
procedures, visual inspections should always be
performed as well.
INDICATION OF DESTINATION
General Export and GCC are used for convenience
to indicate destination.
NOTE
(1) “General Export” means territories other than
Europe, GCC, Australia, New Zealand, the
U.S.A. and Canada.
(2) “GCC” indicates countries that are members
of the (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council of
nations.
(3) In some instances, vehicles with other
specifications may be shipped to some
countries.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
STANDARD VALUE
Indicates the value used as the standard for judging
the quality of a part or assembly on inspection
or the value to which the part or assembly is
corrected and adjusted. It is given by tolerance.
LIMIT
Shows the standard for judging the quality of a
part or assembly on inspection and means the
maximum or minimum value within which the part
or assembly must be kept functionally or in strength.
It is a value established outside the range of
standard value.
REFERENCE VALUE
Indicates the adjustment value prior to starting the
work (presented in order to facilitate assembly and
adjustment procedures, and so they can be
completed in a shorter time).
CAUTION
Indicates the presentation of information particularly
vital to the worker during the performance of
maintenance and servicing procedures in order to
avoid the possibility of injury to the worker, or
damage to component parts, or a reduction of
component or vehicle function or performance, etc.
INDICATION OF TIGHTENING TORQUE
Tightening torques (units: N·m) are set to take into
account the central value and the allowable
tolerance. The central value is the target value,
and the allowable tolerance provides the checking
range for tightening torques. If bolts and nuts are
not provided with tightening torques, refer to
P.00-28.

HOW TO USE THE INSPECTION PROCEDURES
The causes of a high frequency of problems occurring in electronic circuitry are generally the connectors,
components, the ECU and the harnesses between connectors, in that order. These inspection procedures
follow this order, and they first try to discover a problem with a connector or a defective component.

mode switch is pressed.

In the above cases, the ECS switch circuit is defective or the indicator
circuit is defective.
CHECKING PROCEDURE 4
2. Indicates inspection carried out using the
MUT-II.
Indicates the operation and inspection proce-
dures.
Indicates the OK judgement conditions.
3. Detailed inspection procedures (methods)
such as component inspection and circuit
inspection are listed on a separate page, and
are given here for reference.
5. Inspect the contact condition at each connector terminal.
(Refer to Connector Inspection Service Points.)
The connector position can be located in the wiring diagram in the
electrical wiring manual by means of this symbol.
Caution
After carrying out connector inspection, always be sure to
reconnect the connector as it was before.
6. Confirm that there are trouble symptoms. If trouble symptoms have
disappeared, the connector may have been inserted incorrectly and the
trouble symptom may have disappeared during inspection.
If it seems that trouble symptoms still remain, proceed to the next page of
instructions.
7. If trouble symptoms still remain up to this stage, there is a possibility that there is an
open or short circuit in the harness between the connectors, so check the harness.
Alternatively, the cause may be a defective ECU, so try replacing the ECU and check
if the trouble symptom disappears.

4. Indicates voltage and resistance to be measured at a particular
connector.
(Refer to Connector Measurement Service Points.)
The connector position can be located in the wiring diagram in the
electrical wiring manual by means of this symbol.
Indicates operation and inspection procedures, inspection terminals
and inspection conditions.
Indicates the OK judgement conditions.
HARNESS INSPECTION
Check for an open or short circuit in the harness between the terminals which were defective according
to the connector measurements. Carry out this inspection while referring to the electrical wiring manual.
Here, “Check harness between power supply and terminal xx” also includes checking for blown fuses.
For inspection service points when there is a blown fuse, refer to “Inspection Service Points for a Blown
Fuse.”
MEASURES TO TAKE AFTER REPLACING THE ECU
If the trouble symptoms have not disappeared even after replacing the ECU, repeat the inspection procedure
from the beginning.
