General Description
Front Drive Shaft ConstructionS7RS0B3101001
A constant velocity ball joint is used on the wheel side of both right and left side drive shaft assemblies. For A/T
vehicle, a tripod type constant velocity joint is used on the differential side and center shaft side. For M/T vehicle, a
double offset type constant velocity joint (DOJ) is used on the differential side and center shaft side. The drive shaft
can slide through the tripod joint or the double offset joint (DOJ) in the extension/contraction direction.

Front Brake Hose / Pipe Removal and
Installation
S7RS0B4106007
“Front Brake Hose / Pipe Construction”
CAUTION!
Do not allow brake fluid to get on painted
surfaces. Painted surfaces will be damaged
by brake fluid, flush it with water immediately
if any fluid is spilled.

Removal
1) Raise and support vehicle properly. Remove tire and wheel.
NOTE
This operation is not necessary when
removing pipes connecting master cylinder.

2) Clean dirt and foreign mate rial from both flexible
hose end and pipe end fittings.
3) Drain brake fluid in reservoir.
4) Remove brake flexible hose or pipe.
Installation
Reverse brake flexible hose removal procedure, noting
the following.
• Make sure that steering wh eel is in straight-forward
position and flexible hose has not twist or kink.
• Check to make sure that flexible hose doesn’t contact any part of suspension, both in extreme right and
extreme left turn conditions. If it does at any point,
remove and correct. Fill and maintain brake fluid level
in reservoir.
• Bleed brake system. Refer to “Air Bleeding of Brake System”.
• Perform brake test and check installed part for fluid leakage.

Step 2. DTC / Freeze Frame Data Check, Record and Clearance
First, referring to “DTC Check”, check DTC and pending DTC. If DTC exists, print or write down DTC and freeze frame
data and then clear malfunction DTC(s) by referring to “DTC Clearance”. Malfunction DTC indicates malfunction in the
system but it is not possible to know from it whether the malfunction is occurring now or it occurred in the past and
normal condition has been restored. In order to know that, check symptom in question according to Step 5 and then
recheck DTC according to Step 6.
Diagnosing a trouble based on the DTC in this step only or fa ilure to clear the DTC in this step may result in an faulty
diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or difficulty in troubleshooting which is otherwise unnecessary.
Step 3 and 4. Visual Inspection
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of the items that support proper function of the engine and
automatic transaxle referring to “Visual Inspection”.
Step 5. Trouble Symptom Confirmation
Check trouble symptoms based on information obtained in “Step 1. Customer Complaint Analysis: ” and “Step 2. DTC
/ Freeze Frame Data Check, Record and Clearance: ”.
Also, reconfirm DTC according to “DTC Confirmation Procedure” described in each DTC flow.
Step 6 and 7. Rechecking and Record of DTC and Freeze Frame Data
Refer to “DTC Check” for checking procedure.
Step 8. A/T Basic Check and A/T Symptom Diagnosis
Perform basic check of A/T according to “A/T Basic Check” first. When the end of the flow has been reached, check
the parts of the system suspected as a possible cause referring to “A/T Symptom Diagnosis” and based on symptoms
appearing on the vehicle (symptoms obtained through step s of customer complaint analysis, trouble symptom
confirmation and/or A/T basic check) and re pair or replace faulty parts, if any.
Step 9. Troubleshooting for DTC
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 / 7 and referring to “a pplicable DTC flow”, locate the cause of the trouble,
namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector, actuator, TCM or other part and repair or replace faulty parts.
Step 10. Check for Intermittent Problem
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to occur (e.g . wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to “Intermittent
and Poor Connection Inspection in Section 00” and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
Step 11. Final Confirmation Test
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the vehicl e is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has been
repaired is related to the malfunction DTC, clear the DTC once and check to ensure that no malfunction DTC is
indicated.
