SEAT BELT RETRACTOR ON-VEHICLE CHECK
Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) and Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR)
NOTE:
All seat belt retractors are Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) type. In an emergency (sudden stop) the
retractor will lock and prevent the webbing from extending any further. All 3-point type seat belt retractors
except the driver seat belt also have an Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) mode. The ALR mode (also
called child restraint mode) is used when installing child seats. The ALR mode is activated when the seat belt
is fully extended. When the webbing is then retracted partially, the ALR mode automatically locks the seat belt
in a specific position so the webbing cannot be extended any further. To cancel the ALR mode, allow the seat
belt to fully wind back into the retractor.
Check the seat belt retractors with the following test(s) to determine if a retractor assembly is operating prop-
erly.
ELR Function Stationary Check
Grasp the shoulder webbing and pull forward quickly. The retractor should lock and prevent the belt from
extending further.
ALR Function Stationary Check
1. Pull out the entire length of seat belt from retractor until a click is heard.
2. Retract the webbing partially. A clicking noise should be heard as the webbing retracts indicating that the
retractor is in the Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) mode.
3. Grasp the seat belt and try to pull out the retractor. The webbing must lock and not extend any further. If
NG, replace the retractor assembly.
4. Allow the entire length of the webbing to retract to cancel the automatic locking mode.
ELR Function Moving Check
WARNING:
Perform the following test in a safe, open area clear of other vehicles and obstructions (for example, a
large, empty parking lot). Road surface must be paved and dry. Never perform the following test on
wet or gravel roads or on public streets and highways. This could result in an accident and serious
personal injury. The driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves in the event that the
retractor does not lock.
1. Fasten driver seat belt. Buckle a passenger into the seat for the belt that is to be tested.
2. Proceed to the designated safe area.
3. Drive the vehicle at approximately 16 km/h (10 MPH). Notify any passengers of a pending sudden stop
and the driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves in the event that the retractor does
not lock, apply brakes firmly and make a very hard stop.
During stopping, seat belts should lock and not be extended. If the seat belt retractor assembly does not lock,
perform the retractor off-vehicle check.
SEAT BELT RETRACTOR OFF-VEHICLE CHECK
1. Remove the seat belt retractor.
Remove the front seat belt assembly, refer to SB-5, "
SEAT BELT RETRACTOR : Removal and Installa-
tion".
2. Slowly pull out webbing while tilting the retractor assembly forward from the mounted position without
twisting the retractor assembly as shown in the illustration.

SEAT BELT RETRACTOR OFF-VEHICLE CHECK
1. Remove the seat belt retractor.
Remove the rear seat belt assembly, refer to SB-10, "
SEAT BELT RETRACTOR : Removal and Installa-
tion".
2. Slowly pull out webbing while tilting the retractor assembly forward from the mounted position without
twisting the retractor assembly as shown in the illustration.
 The webbing can be pulled out when the angle (A) is 15
degrees or more.
 The webbing cannot be pulled out when the angle (B) is 27
degrees or more.
3. If the seat belt assembly dose not operate normally, replace the seat belt assembly.

STEERING WHEEL AXIAL END PLAY
1. Check installation conditions of steering gear assembly, front suspension assembly, axle and steering col-
umn assembly.
2. Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.
3. Check the following items when steering wheel axial end play is out of the standard.
 Check the steering column assembly mounting condition. Refer to ST-13, "
Exploded View".
 Check steering gear assembly mounting condition for looseness. Refer to ST-18, "
Exploded View".
STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Turn steering wheel so that front wheels come to the straight-ahead position.
2. Start the engine and lightly turn steering wheel to the left and right until front wheels start to move.
3. Measure steering wheel movement on the outer circumference.
4. Check the following items when steering wheel play is out of the standard.
 Check backlash for each joint of steering column assembly.
 Check installation condition of steering gear assembly.
NEUTRAL POSITION STEERING WHEEL
1. Check that steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and steering wheel are installed in the cor-
rect position.
2. Perform neutral position inspection after wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, "
Wheel Alignment Inspection".
3. Set the vehicle to the straight-ahead position and confirm steering wheel is in the neutral position.
4. Loosen outer socket lock nut and turn inner socket to left and right equally to make fine adjustments if
steering wheel is not in the neutral position.
STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park the vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.
2. Tires need to be inflated normal pressure. Refer to WT-5, "
Tire Air Pressure".
3. Start the engine.
4. Bring power steering fluid up to adequate operating temperature.Standard

Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000003848923
Item Function
Torque converterThe torque converter is the device that increases the engine torque as well as the con-
ventional AT and transmits it to the transaxle.
Oil pumpThe adoption of a trochoidal oil pump with a flow control valve actuated directly by the
engine enables the sufficient discharge from an oil pump in the low-rpm range and the
adequate discharge adjustments in the high-rpm range.
Planetary gear
Perform the transmission of drive power and the switching of forward/backward move-
ment. Forward clutch
Reverse brake
Primary pulley It is composed of a pair of pulleys (the groove width is changed freely in the axial direc-
tion) and the steel belt (the steel star wheels are placed continuously and the belt is guid-
ed with the multilayer steel rings on both sides). The groove width changes according to
wrapping radius of steel belt and pulley from low status to overdrive status continuously
with non-step. It is controlled with the oil pressures of primary pulley and secondary pul-
ley. Secondary pulley
Steel belt
Output gear
Reduction gear consists of primary deceleration (output gear and idler gear in pair) and
secondary deceleration (reduction gear and final gear in pair). Each of them uses a he-
lical gear. Idler gear
Reduction gear
Final gear
Differential
Manual shaft
The parking rod rotates the parking pole and the parking pole engages with the parking
gear when the manual shaft is in “P” position. As a result the parking gear and the output
axis are fixed. Parking rod
