Part 2

INTRODUCTION: REPAIR INSTRUCTION: PRECAUTION - Continued

5. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF ENGINE INTAKE PARTS

(a) If any metal particles enter inlet system parts, they may damage the engine.





(b) When removing and installing inlet system parts, cover the openings of the removed parts and engine openings. Use gummed tape or other suitable materials.

(c) When installing inlet system parts, check that no metal particles have entered the engine or the installed parts.

6. HANDLING OF HOSE CLAMPS





(a) Before removing the hose, check the clamp position so that it can be reinstalled in the same position.

(b) Replace any deformed or dented clamps with new ones.

(c) When reusing a hose, attach the clamp on the clamp track portion of the hose.

(d) For a spring type clamp, you may want to spread the tabs slightly after installation by pushing in the direction of the arrows as shown in the illustration.

7. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

(a) Install the antenna as far away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle electronic systems as possible.





(b) Install the antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle electronic systems. For details about ECU and sensor locations, refer to the section of the applicable components.

(c) Keep the antenna and feeder separate from other wiring as much as possible. This will prevent signals from the communication equipment from affecting vehicle equipment and vice versa.

(d) Check that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.

(e) Do not install a high-powered mobile communication system.

8. HEADLIGHT INSPECTION MAINTENANCE

(a) When the headlights are illuminated, do not cover the headlights for 3 minutes or more.





NOTICE:
As the headlight's outer lens is made of resin, the resulting heat created when covering the headlight for an extended period of time may deform the headlight.

9. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH TRAC (TRACTION CONTROL) SYSTEM AND VSC (VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL) SYSTEM

(a) NOTICES FOR WHEN TESTING WITH 2-WHEEL DRUM TESTER





HINT
This procedure applies to both 2WD and 4WD vehicles. For 4WD vehicles, make sure that the transfer mode is 2WD.

(1) When testing with any 2-wheel drum tester, such as a speedometer tester, a combination tester for the speedometer and brakes, or a chassis dynamometer, activate VSC OFF mode to disable both TRAC and VSC operation. Complete the following procedure to activate VSC OFF mode (disable both TRAC and VSC).





* With the vehicle stopped, press and hold the VSC OFF switch for 3 seconds or more to change from the normal mode (or the TRAC OFF mode) to the AUTO LSD mode. The slip, VSC OFF, and AUTO LSD indicators will all illuminate at this time.





* Press and hold the VSC OFF switch again for 3 seconds or more to change to VSC OFF mode. TRAC is also disabled in VSC OFF mode. The AUTO LSD indicator will turn off, and the slip and VSC OFF indicators will both illuminate.

CAUTION:
* If the vehicle is in 4WD or normal mode (TRAC and VSC are normally active), the vehicle may jump off the drum tester.
* Fix the vehicle in place with chains, and chock the front wheels for safety.
(b) NOTICES FOR VSC RELATED PROCEDURES

(1) For VSC related parts, adjustments are required after removal and installation. Therefore, perform removal and installation only when necessary.

(2) When performing VSC related procedures, be sure to strictly follow the preparation and completion procedures.

(3) When performing removal and installation or replacement of VSC related parts, first disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

10. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CATALYTIC CONVERTER

CAUTION:
If a large amount of unburned gasoline or gasoline vapors flow into the converter, it may cause overheating and create a fire hazard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions.

(a) Use only unleaded gasoline.

(b) Avoid idling the engine for more than 20 minutes.

(c) When performing spark jump tests:

(1) Perform a spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.

(2) While testing, never race the engine.

(d) Avoid a prolonged engine compression measurement. Engine compression measurements must be performed as rapidly as possible.

(e) Do not run the engine when the fuel tank is nearly empty. This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
