DISASSEMBLY
1. Install Tool (A) to strut and secure it in a vise.CAUTION:
When installing Tool, wrap a sh op cloth around strut to pro-
tect it from damage.
2. Install Tool to strut rod.
3. Slightly loosen piston rod lock nut. WARNING:
Do not remove piston rod lock nut completely. If it is removed completely, the coil spring can jump
out and may cause serious damage or injury.
4. Compress coil spring using a commercially available spring compressor.
WARNING:
Make sure that the pawls of the two spring compressors are
firmly hooked on the spring. The spring compressors must
be tightened alternately so as not to tilt the spring.
5. Making sure coil spring is free between upper and lower seats, then remove piston rod lock nut.
6. Remove small parts on strut. • Remove strut spacer, strut mount insulator, strut mounting insulator bracket thrust bearing, spring upper
seat, and upper rubber seat. Then remove coil spring.
7. Remove bound bumper from spring upper seat.
8. Gradually release spring compressor (commercial service tool), and remove coil spring.

• Install the xenon bulb secure ly. (Insufficient bulb socket
installation may melt the bu lb, the connector, the housing,
etc, by high-voltage leakage or corona discharge.)
• Never perform HID circuit inspection with a tester.
• Never touch the xenon bulb gl ass with hands. Never put oil
and grease on it.
• Dispose of the used xenon bulb after packing it in thick vinyl
without breaking it.
• Never wipe out dirt and contam ination with organic solvent
(thinner, gasoline, etc.).
Procedures without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000009462994
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Cautions in Removing Battery Terminal and AV Control UnitINFOID:0000000009951289
CAUTION:
Remove battery terminal and AV control unit after a lapse of 30 seconds or more after turning the igni-
tion switch OFF.
NOTE:
After the ignition switch is turned OFF, the AV cont rol unit continues operating for approximately 30 seconds.
Therefore, data corruption may occur if battery voltage is cut off within 30 seconds.
General PrecautionsINFOID:0000000009462995
• Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any inflammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any inflam-
mable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas,
etc. When working in a pit or ot her enclosed area, be sure to prop-
erly ventilate the area before working with hazardous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
• Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire blocks to the wheels to prevent t he vehicle from moving. After jack-
ing up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands at
the points designated for proper lifting before working on the vehi-
cle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
• When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-
saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.

PRECAUTIONS
• To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose withtapered tool or screwdriver.
• To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure that hose insertion length and orientation is correct. (If tube is equipped with hose
stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up against hose
stopper.)
HOSE CLAMPING
• If old rubber hose is re-used, install hose clamp in its original posi- tion (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there is a trace
of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose, align rubber hose at
that position.
• Discard old clamps; replace with new ones.
• After installing plate clamps, apply force to them in the direction of the arrow, tightening rubber hose equally all around.
Engine OilsINFOID:0000000009463001
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact
with used oil.
If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
• Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.
• Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
• Do not put oily rags in pockets.
• Avoid contaminating clothes, pa rticularly underpants, with oil.

< BASIC INSPECTION >
SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT
• When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
- Remove the ground bolt or screw.
- Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
- Clean as required to assure good contact.
- Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
- Inspect for “add-on” accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
- If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet termi nal, check for proper crimps. Make sure all of the
wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are cased in one eye-
let make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
• For detailed ground distribution information, re fer to “Ground Distribution” in PG section.
VOLTAGE DROP TESTS
• Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance. A voltage
drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
• Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring re sistance with DMM, contact by a single strand of wire
will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates, this single strand
of wire is not able to carry the current. The single st rand will have a high resistance to the current. This will
be picked up as a slight voltage drop.
• Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
- Undersized wiring (single strand example)
- Corrosion on switch contacts
- Loose wire connections or splices.
• If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.
Measuring Voltage Drop — Accumulated Method
• Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the ci rcuit you want to check. The positive lead of the
DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
• Operate the circuit.
• The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to “push” current through that part of the circuit.

DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463016
CAUTION:
After disconnecting the CONSULT vehicle interface (VI) from the data link connector, the ignition must
be cycled OFF → ON (for at least 5 seconds) → OFF. If this step is not performed, the BCM may not go
to “sleep mode”, potentiall y causing a discharged battery and a no-start condition.
NOTE:
This vehicle is diagnosed using the CONSULT-III plus.
• When CONSULT is connected with a data link connector equipped on the vehicle side, it will communicate with the control unit
equipped in the vehicle and then enable various kinds of diagnos-
tic tests.
• Refer to “CONSULT-III plus Operation Manual” for more informa- tion.

• When removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, be sure to wrap the component with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.
• Protect the removed parts with a shop cloth and prevent them from being dropped.
• Replace a deformed or damaged clip.
• If a part is specified as a non-reusabl e part, always replace it with a new one.
• Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.
• After installation is complete, be sure to check that each part works properly.
• Follow the steps below to clean components:
- Water soluble dirt:
• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the dirty area.
• Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.
-Oily dirt:
• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water with mild detergent (concentration: within 2 to 3%) and wipe the dirty
area.
• Then dip a cloth into fresh water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the detergent off.
• Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use organic solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline.
- For genuine leather seats, use a genuine leather seat cleaner.
