TROUBLESHOOTING
BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING CONDITIONS
Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points.
NOTE
Before starting the troubleshooting procedure, make sure that the following items have been checked
okay.
DIs the appropriate steering wheel installed at the center of the steering column shaft correctly?
DAre the tire, wheel size, specifications, air pressure, balance, and wear state normal?
DIs the wheel alignment normal?
DHas the engine, suspension, etc. been remodeled in such a way that it will affect the ACD and AYC
systems?
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
READING DIAGNOSIS CODE
Read a diagnosis code by the MUT-IIor ACD mode indicator
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 switch to the “LOCK”(OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-II.

REAR AXLE -Differential Carrier
"HABEARING CAP INSTALLATION/FINAL DRIVE
GEAR BACKLASH ADJUSTMENT
Adjust drive gear backlash as follows:
1. Assemble the differential case with the side bearing outer
race to the gear carrier.
2. Press the differential case to one side to measure the
clearance of the side bearing outer race and the gear
carrier.
3. Select two pairs of the side bearing spacer with the thickness
derived from the sum of the clearance and a half of pre-load,
0.05 mm.
4. Remove the side bearing with special tools.
NOTE
Hook the claws of the special tool with the side bearing
inner race by using the notches (two areas) of the LSD
case side.
5. Assemble the selected side bearing spacers to each side.
6. Use special tools to press-fit the side bearing inner case
into the LSD case. After installing the outer race, assemble
the LSD case to the gear carrier.
7. Align the mating marks of differential carrier and the bearing
cap with each other to tighten to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 37±2N
·m
8. Measure the drive gear backlash.
NOTE
Measure at four points or more on the circumference
of the drive gear.
Standard value: 0.11 - 0.16 mm
9. If the backlash is not within the standard value, move the
side bearing spacer as shown in the illustration to adjust
the backlash.
NOTE
The increment of side bearing spacer must be coincided
with the decreased amount.
10. Inspect the tooth condition at the final drive gear and make
an adjustment if required. (Refer to P.27B-39.)

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
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
the parts or tools to the caliper because the paint of caliper will be scratched.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Caution
1. Before removing the steering wheel and air bag module assembly, refer to GROUP 52B - Service
Precautions and Air Bag Module and Clock Spring. Also, put the front wheels in straight-ahead
position. Failure to do so may damage the SRS clock spring and render the SRS air bag
inoperative, which results serious driver injury.
2. If the vehicle is equipped with the Brembo disc brake, during maintenance, take care not to
contact the parts or tools to the caliper because the paint of caliper will be scratched. And
if there is brake fluid on the caliper, wipe out quickly.
3. To prevent bushings from breakage, the parts indicated by * should be temporarily tightened,
and then fully tightened with the vehicle on the ground in the unladen condition.

2. If the brake pedal play is not within the standard value,
check the following, and adjust or replace if necessary:
DExcessive play between the brake pedal and the clevis
pin, or between the clevis pin and the brake booster
operating rod
DBrake pedal height
DInstallation position of the stop lamp switch, etc.
CLEARANCE BETWEEN BRAKE PEDAL AND FLOOR
BOARD
1. Turn up the carpet etc. under the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine, depress the brake pedal with
approximately 500 N of force, and measure the clearance
between the brake pedal and the floorboard.
Standard value (C): 90 mm or more
3. If the clearance is outside the standard value, check for
air trapped in the brake line and thickness of the disc
brake pad and dragging in the parking brake.
Adjust and replace defective parts as required.
4. Return the carpet, etc.
BRAKE BOOSTER OPERATING TEST
For simple checking of the brake booster operation, carry
out the following tests:
1. Run the engine for one or two minutes, and then stop
it.
If the pedal depresses fully the first time but gradually
becomes higher when depressed succeeding times, the
booster is operating properly. If the pedal height remains
unchanged, the booster is defective.
2. With the engine stopped, step on the brake pedal several
times.
Then start the engine while the brake pedal is stepped
on.
If the pedal moves downward slightly, the booster is in
good condition. If there is no change, the booster is
defective.
3. With the engine running, step on the brake pedal and
then stop the engine.
Hold the pedal depressed for 30 seconds. If the pedal
height does not change, the booster is in good condition.
If the pedal rises, the booster is defective.
If the above three tests are okay, the booster performance
can be determined as good.
If one of the above three tests is not okay at least, the check
valve, vacuum hose, or booster will be defective.

(5) Apply repair kit grease to the portions of the pads
indicated on the left. At this time, make sure that
the grease will not be applied to any other surfaces.
(6) Mount the pads to the caliper so that its side with
the wear indicator is on the outside of the vehicle.
With the rear pads, ensure that the arrow on the
pad faces in the same direction as the brake disc
turns when the vehicle moves forward.
(7) Holding the cross spring with one hand, fit pins in
the caliper.
(8) Using a spring balance, measure the turning sliding
resistance of the hub in the forward direction.
(9) Find the brake disc drag force [the difference in
measurements taken in step(3) and in step(8)].
Standard value: 69 N or less
DISC BRAKE ROTOR CHECK
Caution
When servicing disc brakes, it is necessary to exercise caution to keep the disc brakes within
the allowable service values in order to maintain normal brake operation.
Before re-finishing or re-processing the brake disc surface, the following conditions should be checked.
Inspection itemsRemarks
Scratches, rust, saturated lining materials
and wearDIf the vehicle is not driven for a certain period, the sections of
the discs that are not in contact with lining will become rusty, causing
noise and shuddering.
DIf grooves resulting from excessive disc wear and scratches are
not removed prior to installing a new pad assembly, there will
momentarily be inappropriate contact between the disc and the
lining (pad).
Run-out or driftExcessive run-out or drift of the discs will increase the pedal depression
resistance due to piston knock-back.
Change in thickness (parallelism)If the thickness of the disc changes, this will cause pedal pulsation,
shuddering and surging.
Inset or warping (flatness)Overheating and improper handling while servicing will cause inset or
warping.
