17) Tighten the bolt of lock plate to specified
torque.
Tightening torque:
25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.1 ft-lb)
18) Recheck the hypoid driven gear to pinion back-
lash.
Backlash:
0.10 — 0.15 mm (0.0039 — 0.0059 in)
19) Checking and adjusting the tooth contact of hy-
poid driven gear
(1) Apply an even coat of red lead on both sides
of three or four teeth on the hypoid driven gear.
Check the contact pattern after rotating the hy-
poid driven gear several revolutions back and
forth until a definite contact pattern appears on
the hypoid driven gear.
(2) When the contact pattern is not correct, re-
adjust.
NOTE:
Be sure to wipe off the red lead completely after the
adjustment is completed.
•Correct tooth contact
Check item: Tooth contact pattern is slightly
shifted towards the toe side under no-load rota-
tion. (When driving it will move toward the heel
side.)
•Face contact
Check item: Backlash is too large.
Contact pattern
Corrective action: Increase thickness of drive pin-
ion height adjusting washer in order to bring drive
pinion close to hypoid driven gear.

ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)
1. PREPARATION FOR THE INSPECTION
MODE
1) Check battery voltage is more than 12 V and fuel
remains half [20 to 40 2 (5.3 to 10.6 US gal, 4.4 to
8.8 Imp gal)].
2) Lift-up the vehicle using a garage jack and place
it on rigid racks, or drive the vehicle onto free roll-
ers.
WARNING:
•Before lifting-up the vehicle, ensure parking
brakes are applied.
•Do not use a pantograph jack in place of a rig-
id rack.
•Secure a rope or wire to the front or rear tow-
ing hooks to prevent the lateral runout of front
wheels.
•Do not abruptly depress/release clutch pedal
or accelerator pedal during works even when
the engine is operating at low speeds since this
may cause vehicle to jump off free rollers.
•In order to prevent the vehicle from slipping
due to vibration, do not place any wooden
blocks or similar items between the rigid racks
and vehicle.
•Since the rear wheels will also rotate, do not
place anything near them. Also, make sure that
nobody goes in front of the vehicle.
