• Improperly formed or damaged terminals.Check each connector terminal in problem circuits
carefully to ensure good contact tension by using the
corresponding mating terminal.
If contact tension is not enough, reform it to increase
contact tension or replace.
• Poor terminal-to -wire connection.
Check each wire harness in problem circuits for poor
connection by shaking it by hand lightly. If any
abnormal condition is found, repair or replace. • Wire insulation which is rubbed through, causing an
intermittent short as the bare area touches other
wiring or parts of the vehicle.
• Wiring broken inside the insulation. This condition
could cause continuity check to show a good circuit,
but if only 1 or 2 strands of a multi-strand-type wire
are intact, resistance could be far too high.
If any abnormality is found, repair or replace.
1. Check contact tension by inserting and removing just once.
2. Check each terminal for bend and proper alignment.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 0A-3 General Information:
There are two kinds of colored wire used in this vehicle. One is single-colored wire and the other is dual-colored
(striped) wire.
The single-colored wire uses only one color symbol (i.e. “GRN”).
The dual-colored wire uses two color sy mbols (i.e. “GRN/YEL”). The first symbo l represents the base color of the wire
(“GRN” in the figure) and the second symbol represents the color of the stripe (“YEL” in the figure).
Fasteners InformationS7RS0B0101004
Metric Fasteners
Most of the fasteners used for this vehicle are JIS-
defined and ISO-defined metric fasteners. When
replacing any fasteners, it is most important that
replacement fasteners be the correct diameter, thread
pitch and strength.
CAUTION!
Even when the nominal diameter (1) of thread
is the same, the thread pitch (2) or the width
across flats (3) may vary between ISO and
JIS. Refer to JIS-TO-ISO Main Fasteners
Comparison Table below for the difference.
Installing a mismatched bolt or nut will cause
damage to the thread.
Before installing, check the thread pitch for
correct matching and then tighten it by hand
temporarily. If it is tight, recheck the thread
pitch.
JIS-TO-ISO Main Fasteners Comparison Table Fastener Strength Identification
Most commonly used metric fastener strength property
classes are 4T, 6.8, 7T, 8.8 and radial line with the class
identification embossed on the head of each bolt. Some
metric nuts will be marked with punch, 6 or 8 mark
strength identification on the nut face. Figure shows the
different strength markings.
When replacing metric fasteners, be careful to use bolts
and nuts of the same strength or greater than the original
fasteners (the same number marking or higher). It is
likewise important to select replacement fasteners of the
correct diameter and thread
pitch. Correct replacement
bolts and nuts are available through the parts division.
Metric bolts: Identification class numbers or marks
correspond to bolt strength (increasing numbers
represent increasing strength).

Vehicle Lifting PointsS7RS0B0101005
WARNING!
• Before applying hoist to underbody, always take vehicle balance throughout service into
consideration. Vehicle balance on hoist may change depending on what part to be removed.
• Before lifting up the vehicle, check to be sure that end of hoist arm is not in contact with brake pipe,
fuel pipe, bracket or any other part.
• When using frame contact hoist, apply hoist as shown (right and left at the same position). Lift up
the vehicle till 4 tires are a little off the ground and make sure that the vehicle will not fall off by
trying to move vehicle body in both ways. Work can be started only after this confirmation.
• Make absolutely sure to lock hoist after vehicle is hoisted up.

When Using Floor Jack
WARNING!
If the vehicle to be jacked up only at the front
or rear end, be sure to block the wheels on
ground in order to ensure safety.
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to
support it on stands. It is extremely
dangerous to do any work on the vehicle
raised on jack alone.
CAUTION!
• Never apply jack against rear suspension parts (i.e., stabilizer, etc.) or vehicle floor,
or it may get deformed.
• When jacking up the front end, be sure to use an air type floor jack with the following
specified height or a manual type floor jack
of the following size. Otherwise, the jack
may cause the bumper or vehicle body
panel a damage.
Jack size
Height “h”: under 145 mm (under 5.71 in.)
Length “l”: above 900 mm (above 35.4 in.) In raising front or rear vehicl
e end off the floor by jacking,
be sure to put the jack a gainst front suspension frame
(1) or rear jacking bracket (2).
To perform service with either front or rear vehicle end
jacked up, be sure to place safety stands (1) under body
mounting stay (2) so that vehicle body is securely
supported. And then check to ensure that body mounting
stay (2) does not slide on safety stands (1) and the
vehicle is held stable for safety’s sake.

Engine Oil and Filter ChangeS7RS0B0206004
WARNING!
• New and used engine oil can be
hazardous.
Be sure to read “WARNING” in “General
Precautions in Section 00” and observe
what is written there.
• Step 1) – 7) outlined below must be performed with ENGINE NOT RUNNING.
For Step 8), be sure to have adequate
ventilation while engine is running.
Before draining engine oil, check engine for oil leakage.
If any evidence of leakage is found, make sure to correct
defective part before proceeding to the following work.
1) Drain engine oil by removing drain plug.
2) After draining oil, wipe drain plug clean. Reinstall drain plug.
Tightening torque
Engine oil drain plug (a): 35 N·m (3.5 kgf-m, 25.5

4) Screw new filter on oil filter stand by hand until the filter O-ring contacts mounting surface.
CAUTION!
To tighten oil filter prop erly, it is important to
accurately identify the position at which filter
O-ring first contacts mounting surface.
5) Tighten the filter (1) 3/4 tu rn from the point of contact
with the mounting surface using an oil filter wrench
(2).
Tightening torque
Oil filter (b): 14 N·m (1 .4 kgf-m, 10.5 lb-ft) for
reference
6) Replenish oil until oil leve l is brought to FULL level
mark on dipstick (oil pan and oil filter capacity). The
filler inlet is at the top of the cylinder head cover. It is
recommended to use engine oil of SG, SH, SJ, SL or
SM grade. Select the appropriate oil viscosity
according to the proper engine oil viscosity chart [A].
NOTE
Engine oil capacity is specified as the
following.
However, note that the amount of oil required
when actually changing oil may somewhat
differ from the data depending on various
conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.).
Engine oil specification
Oil pan capacity: About 3.7 liters (7.8 / 6.5 US /
lmp pt.)
Oil filter capacity: About 0.2 liter (0.4 / 0.3 US /
lmp pt.)
Others: About 0.3 liter (0 .6 / 0.5 US / lmp pt.)
Total: About 4.2 liters (8.9 / 7.4 US / lmp pt.) 7) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
8) Start engine and run it for 3 minutes. Stop it and wait
another 5 minutes before checking oil level. Add oil,
as necessary, to bring oil le vel to FULL level mark (1)
on dipstick.
Engine Coolant ChangeS7RS0B0206005
WARNING!
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not
remove radiator cap while engine and
radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid and steam
can be blown out under pressure if cap is
taken off too soon.
CAUTION!
When changing engine coolant, use mixture
of 50% specified water and 50% ANTIFREEZE
/ ANTICORROSION COOLANT for the
purpose of corrosion protection and
lubrication.
Change engine coolant with new one referring to
“Cooling System Flush and Refill in Section 1F”.

WARNING!
To avoid danger of being burned, do not
touch exhaust system when it is still hot.
Any service on exhaust system should be
performed when it is cool.
When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the vehicle
is raised for other service, check exhaust system as
follows:
• Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration, and out of position.
• Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connections, dents and damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to specification.
• Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing or mispositioned parts, ope n seams, holes, loose
connections or other defects which could permit
exhaust fumes to seep into the vehicle.
• Make sure that exhaust system components have enough clearance from the underbody to avoid
overheating and possible damage to floor carpet.
• Any defects should be fixed at once.
