DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (IPDM E/R)
Diagnosis DescriptionINFOID:0000000006368066
AUTO ACTIVE TEST
Description
In auto active test, the IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the following systems to check their operation.
 Oil pressure warning lamp
 Rear window defogger
 Front wiper (LO, HI)
 Parking lamp
 License plate lamp
 Tail lamp
 Side marker lamp
 Front fog lamp
 Headlamp (LO, HI)
 A/C compressor (magnet clutch)
Operation Procedure
CAUTION:
Never perform auto active test in the following conditions.
 Engine is running.
 CONSULT-III is connected.
1. Close the hood and lift the wiper arms from the windshield. (Prevent windshield damage due to wiper
operation)
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield beforehand.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON, and within 20 seconds, pr ess the driver door switch 10 times. Then turn the
ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
Close passenger door.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. Af ter that the horn sounds once and the auto active test
starts.
CAUTION:
Engine starts when ignition switch is turned ON while brake pedal is depressed.
5. The oil pressure warning lamp starts blinking when the auto active test starts.
6. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
 When auto active test has to be cancelled halfw ay through test, turn the ignition switch OFF.
 When auto active test is not activated, door swit ch may be the cause. Check door switch. Refer to DLK-117,
"ComponentFunctionCheck".
Inspection in Auto Active Test
When auto active test is actuated, the following operation sequence is repeated 3 times.
Operation
sequence Inspection location Operation
1 Oil pressure warning lamp Blinks continuously during operation of auto active test
2 Rear window defogger 10 seconds
3 Front wiper LO for 5 seconds → HI for 5 seconds

other parts.
NOTE:
Use suitable puller, if wheel hub and bearing assembly and drive shaft cannot be separated even after
performing the above procedure.
13. Remove wheel hub lock nut.
14. Remove fender protector. Refer to EXT-23, "
FENDER PROTECTOR : Removal and Installation".
15. Remove drive shaft from front final drive using the drive shaft attachment [SST: KV40107500 ( −)] (A) and a sliding ham-
mer (commercial service tool) (B) while inserting tip of the drive
shaft attachment between housing and front final drive.
CAUTION:
 Never place drive shaft joint at an extreme angle when
removing drive shaft. Also be careful not to overextend
slide joint.
 Confirm that the circular clip is attached to the drive shaft.
16. Perform inspection after removal. Refer to FAX-28, "
Inspection".
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Always replace final drive side oil seal with new one when installing drive shaft. Refer to DLN-160,
"Removal and Installation"
 Place the protector [SST: KV38106300 (−)] (A) onto final drive
to prevent damage to the oil seal while inserting drive shaft. Slide
drive shaft sliding joint and tap with a hammer to install securely.
CAUTION:
Check that circular clip is completely engaged.
 Use the following torque range for tightening the wheel hub lock nut.
CAUTION:
 Since the drive shaft is assembled by press-fitting, use the tightening torque range for the wheel hub lock nut.
 Be sure to use torque wrench to tighten th e wheel hub lock nut. Never use a power tool.
 Perform the final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing
wheel hub and bearing assembly and steering knuckle.
 Never reuse cotter pin.
 Perform inspection after installation. Refer to FAX-28, "
Inspection".

5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)

Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000006271994
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Precautions for SuspensionINFOID:0000000006225635
 When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening mu st be carried out under unladen conditions with tires
on ground. Spilled oil might shorten the life of rubb er bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and l ubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
 After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.
 Self-lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones w hen installing. Since new self-lock nuts are pre-oiled,
tighten as they are.
