BODY REPAIR
SP130 is the most commonly used HSS.
SP150 HSS is used only on parts that require much more strength.
Read the following precautions when repairing HSS:
1. Additional points to consider• The repair of reinforcements (such as side members) by heat-ing is not recommended since it may weaken the component.
When heating is unavoidable, do not heat HSS parts above
550° C (1,022° F).
Verify heating temperature with a thermometer.
(Crayon-type and other similar type thermometer are appropri-
ate.)
• When straightening body panels, use caution in pulling any HSS panel. Because HSS is very strong, pulling may cause
deformation in adjacent portions of the body. In this case,
increase the number of measuring points, and carefully pull
the HSS panel.
• When cutting HSS panels, avoid gas (torch) cutting if possible. Instead, use a saw to avoid weakening surrounding areas due
to heat. If gas (torch) cutting is unavoidable, allow a minimum
margin of 50 mm (1.97in).

• When welding HSS panels, use spot welding whenever possi- ble in order to minimize weakening surrounding areas due to
heat.
If spot welding is impossible, use M.I.G. welding. Do not use
gas (torch) welding because it is inferior in welding strength.
• The spot weld on HSS panels is harder than that of an ordi- nary steel panel.
Therefore, when cutting spot welds on a HSS panel, use a low
speed high torque drill (1,000 to 1,200 rpm) to increase drill bit
durability and facilitate the operation.
• SP150 HSS panels with a tensile strength of 785 to 981 N/
mm
2 (80 to 100 kg/mm2 , 114 to 142 klb/sq in), used as rein-
forcement in the door guard beams, is too strong to repair.
When these HSS parts are damaged, the outer panels also
sustain substantial damage; therefore, the assembly parts
must be replaced.
2. Precautions in spot welding HSS This work should be performed under standard working condi-
tions. Always note the following when spot welding HSS:
• The electrode tip diameter must be sized properly according tothe metal thickness.
• The panel surfaces must fit flush to each other, leaving no gaps.

SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULT
For details, refer to CCS-55, "Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart".
NOTE:
“DTC RESULTS” and “TIME” are indicated on “Self Diagnostic Result”. “TIME” is used as a reference data of
diagnosis. It shows when malfunction is detected.
“TIME” shows the following.
• 0: malfunction is detected at present (from malfunction detection to ignition switch OFF).
CAN communication ([U1000], [U1010])
• 1 ~ 39: Displays when it is normal at present and finds malfunction in the past. It increases like
0→ 1→ 2...38→ 39 after returning to the normal condition whenever IGN OFF→ ON. If it is over 39, it is fixed to
39 until the self-diagnostic results are erased. It retu rns to 0 when malfunction is detected again in the pro-
cess.
Other than CAN communication (other than [U1000], [U1010])
• 1 ~ 49: Displays when it is normal at present and finds malfunction in the past. It increases like 0→ 1→ 2...48→ 49 after returning to the normal condition whenever IGN OFF→ ON. If it is over 49, it is fixed to
49 until the self-diagnostic results are erased. It retu rns to 0 when malfunction is detected again in the pro-

Precaution for Liquid GasketINFOID:0000000003771278
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING
• After removing the bolts and nuts, separate the mating surface and
remove the old liquid gasket sealing using Tool.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the mating surfaces.
• Tap the seal cutter to insert it (1).
• In areas where the Tool is difficult to use, lightly tap to slide it (2).
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the gasket application surface and the mating surface using suitable tool.
• Remove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the
liquid gasket application surface, bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces and remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign material.
3. Attach the liquid gasket tube to the Tool. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-15, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
4. Apply the liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location with the specified dimensions.
• If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply theliquid gasket to the groove.
• As for the bolt holes, normally apply the liquid gasket inside
the holes. If specified in the procedure, it should also be
applied outside the holes.
• Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.
• If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
• Do not retighten after the installation.
• Wait 30 minutes or more after installation before refilling the engine with engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe them.

8. Continue to draw the vacuum until the gauge reaches 28 inches
of vacuum. The gauge may not reach 28 inches in high altitude
locations, use the vacuum specifications based on the altitude
above sea level.
9. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specified amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds
to see if the system loses any vacuum. If the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the
system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to br ing the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck for any leaks.
10. Place the coolant container (with the refill hose inserted) at the same level as the top of the radiator. Then
open the ball valve on the refill hose so the coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling system. The cooling
system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the coolant container to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn into
the cooling system.
11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening and install the radiator cap.
12. Remove the non-vented reservoir cap.
13. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specified level. Run the engine to warm up the cooling system and top up the system as necessary befor e installing the vented reservoir cap.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Drain the water from the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-11, "Changing Engine Coolant".
2. Fill the radiator and the reservoir tank (to the “MAX” line), with water. Reinstall the radiator cap and leave
the vented reservoir cap off.
3. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
4. Press the engine accelerator two or three times under no-load.
5. Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.
6. Drain the water from the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-11, "
Changing Engine Coolant".
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 until clear water begins to drain from the radiator. Altitude above sea level Vacuum gauge reading
