MalfunctionReference
page
CAN COMM CIRC
[U1000] Malfunction is detected in CAN communication.
CAUTION:
Even when there is no malfunction on CAN communication system, malfunction may be
misinterpreted when battery has low voltage (when maintaining 7 - 8 V for about 2 sec-
onds) or 10A fuse [No. 3, located in
the fuse block (J/B)] is disconnected. MWI-28
VEHICLE SPEED
CIRC
[B2205]Malfunction is detected when an erroneous speed signal is input.
CAUTION:
Even when there is no malfunction on speed signal system, malfunction may be misin-
terpreted when battery has lo
w voltage (when maintaining 7 - 8 V for about 2 seconds). MWI-29

CAUTION:
Spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if steering column is separated from steering gear
assembly. Therefore secure steer ing wheel to avoid turning.
REMOVAL
1. Turn wheels to the straight-ahead position.
2. Remove tires from vehicle using power tool.
3. Remove undercover using power tool.
4. On 4WD models, remove front final drive, then support drive shafts with wire. Refer to DLN-215,
"Removal and Installation".
5. Make sure slit of lower joint fits with the projection on rear cover cap, while checking that mark on steering gear assembly aligns
with mark on rear cover cap.
6. Remove cotter pin at steering outer socket and discard, then loosen nut.

The automatic transmission uses compact triple planet ary gear systems to improve power-transmission effi-
ciency, simplify construction and reduce weight.
It also employs an optimum shift control and super wide gear ratios. They improve starting performance and
acceleration during medium and high-speed operation.
