FLUID CHECK
1. Remove the maintenance lid located in the luggage
compartment.
2.
If the vehicle has been run, leave it for 90 min. or more
in an ordinary temperature (10_C–30_C) to allow the
accumulator internal pressure to drop.
NOTE
If the ambient temperature is 10_C or less, allow more
time to leave the vehicle to stand idle.
Set the MUT-IIto the 16-pin diagnosis connector. Turn ON
the ignition switch, perform MUT-IIactuator test (Item
No.03), forcibly drive the hydraulic unit and remove the
pressure in the accumulator.
Caution
Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”(OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-II.
NOTE
(1) In the actuator test (Item No. 03: Oil Level Check
Mode), the directional valve of the hydraulic unit is
moved to the left and right for 20 times, and then
the differential is cleared automatically. Drive can also
be cleared forcibly using the Clear key of the MUT-II.
(2) If the function has been stopped by fail-safe, the
hydraulic unit cannot be cleared forcibly.
3. Check that the fluid level in the oil reservoir is in the
range between MAX and MIN.

Caution
1. Before removing the steering wheel and air bag module assembly, always refer to GROUP
52B - Service Precautions, Air bag Module and Clock Spring. Also, set the front wheels so
that they are facing straight forward, and remove the ignition key. If you fail to do this, the
SRS clock spring will be damaged, causing the SRS air bag to be inoperative and serious
injury.
2. *
1: Indicates parts which should be initially tightened, and then fully tightened after placing
the vehicle horizontally and loading the full weight of the engine on the vehicle body.
3. *
2: Indicates parts which should be temporarily tightened, and then fully tightened with the
vehicle on the ground in the unladen condition.
Caution
If the vehicle is equipped the Brembo disc brake, during maintenance, take care not to contact

ABS WARNING LAMP INSPECTION
Check that the ABS warning lamp illuminates as follows.
1. When the ignition key is turned to “ON”, the ABS warning
lamp illuminates for approximately 3 seconds and then
switches off.
2. When the ignition key is turned to “START”, the ABS
warning lamp remains illuminated.
3. When the ignition key is turned from “START” back to
“ON”, the ABS warning lamp illuminates for approximately
3 seconds and then switches off.
NOTE
The ABS warning lamp may remain on until the vehicle
reaches a speed of several km/h. This is limited to cases
where diagnosis code Nos.21 to 24, 41 to 44, 53 or 55
have been recorded because of a previous problem
occurring. In this case, the ABS-ECU keeps the warning
lamp illuminated until the problem corresponding to that
diagnosis code can be detected.
4. If the illumination is other than the above, check the
diagnosis codes.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
READING DIAGNOSIS CODES
Read a diagnosis code by the MUT-IIor ABS warning lamp.
(Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points.)
NOTE
Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector (16-pin).
ERASING DIAGNOSIS CODES
When using the MUT-II
Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector (16-pin) and
erase the diagnosis code.
Caution
Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” (OFF) position before
connecting or disconnecting the MUT-II.
