• When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from TCM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
When connecting pin connectors make sure that there are not
any bends or breaks on TCM pin terminal.
• Before replacing TCM, perform TCM input/output signal
inspection and make sure whether TCM functions properly or
not. CVT-46, "
TCM Terminal and Reference Value".
• After performing each TROUBL E DIAGNOSIS, perform “DTC
Confirmation Procedure”.
If the repair is completed the DTC should not be displayed in
the “DTC Confirmation Procedure”.
• Always use the specified br and of CVT fluid. Refer to MA-14, "
Flu-
ids and Lubricants".
• Use lint-free paper, not cloth rags, during work.
• After replacing the CVT fluid, dispose of the waste oil using the methods prescribed by law, ordinance, etc.
Service Notice or PrecautionINFOID:0000000005928726
CVT FLUID COOLER SERVICE
If CVT fluid contains friction material (clutches, brakes , etc.), or if an CVT is replaced, inspect and clean the
CVT fluid cooler mounted in the radiator or replace the radiator. Flush cooler lines using cleaning solvent and
compressed air after repair. For CVT fluid cooler cleaning procedure, refer to CVT-15, "
CVT Fluid Cooler
Cleaning". For radiator replacement, refer to CO-40.
OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSIS
• CVT self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. The results can be read through
the blinking pattern of the malfunction indi cator lamp (MIL). Refer to the table on CVT-48, "
CONSULT-III
Function (TRANSMISSION)" for the indicator used to display each self-diagnostic result.
• The self-diagnostic results indicated by the MIL are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM memo- ries.
Always perform the procedure on CVT-27, "
OBD-II Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)" to complete the
repair and avoid unnecessary blinking of the MIL.
For details of OBD-II, refer to EC-541, "
Introduction".
• Certain systems and components, especially those re lated to OBD, may use the new style slide-lock-
ing type harness connector. For description and how to disconnect, refer to PG-65
.

< SERVICE INFORMATION >
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly and are installed securely. Check the
belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage. MA-49
Accelerator pedal
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure the pedal does not catch
or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal. —
Clutch pedal Make sure the pedal operates smoothly and check that it has the proper free play. CL-6
BrakesCheck that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied. —
Brake pedal and
booster Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance
under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be sure to keep
floor mats away from the pedal. BR-6
and
BR-20
Parking brake Check that the lever has the proper travel and make sure that the vehicle is held
securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is applied. PB-5
Automatic transaxle
“Park” mechanismCheck that the lock release button on the selector lever operates properly and
smoothly. On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the se-
lector lever in the “P” position without applying any brakes. —
CVT P (Park) position
mechanism On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the selector lever
in the “P” position without applying any brakes.

ItemReference page
Windshield wash-
er fluid Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank.
—
Engine coolant
level Check the coolant level when the engine is cold. CO-11
(HR)
CO-36
(MR)
Radiator and hos-
es Check the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that may
have accumulated. Make sure the radiator hoses have no cracks, deformation, de-
terioration or loose connections.
—
Brake and clutch
fluid levels Make sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines on the reservoirs.
BR-9
Battery
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines.
Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require frequent
checks of the battery fluid level. —
Engine drive belts Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily. EM-13
(HR)
EM-132
(MR)
Engine oil level Check the level on the dipstick after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turning
off the engine. MA-20
(HR)
MA-30
(MR)
CVT and Automat-
ic transaxle fluid
level Check the level on the dipstick after putting the selector lever in “P” with the engine
idling.
MA-37
MA-42
Exhaust system
Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the exhaust
seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate the trouble
and correct it. MA-37, "EXHAUST SYS-
TEM : Checking Exhaust
System HR16DE", MA-37,
"EXHAUST SYSTEM :
Checking Exhaust System
MR18DE"
Underbody
The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those used
on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these substances, oth-
erwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the exhaust sys-
tem. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly flushed with plain
water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt can easily accumu-
late. —
Fluid leaks Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle has
been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is normal.
If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for the cause
and correct it immediately. —
