Precautions: 00-8

• When testing with 2-wheel brake tester, be

sure to observe the following instructions.
Otherwise, drivetrain damage and personal
injury may result.
– Shift transmission to N (Neutral)

position.

– Shift transfer to N (Neutral) position if

transfer position is selectable.

– Run engine at specified idle speed.
– Rotate wheels (tires) by brake tester at

vehicle speed below 5 km/h (3 mile/h).

– Do not rotate wheels (tires) for 1 min. or

more.

• When testing with 2-wheel speedometer

tester (which wheels are driven by tester),
be sure to observe the following
instructions. Otherwise, drivetrain damage
and personal injury may result.
– Set rear wheels on tester roller and front

wheels on free roller.

– Shift transmission to N (Neutral)

position.

– Shift transfer to N (Neutral) position if

transfer position is selectable.

– Rotate wheels (tires) by tester at vehicle

speed below 60 km/h (37 mile/h).

– Do not rotate wheels (tires) for 1 min. or

more.

– Ensure that vehicle does not move using

wire ropes or chains.

• When testing with 2-wheel chassis

dynamometer, be sure to make the vehicle
as rear wheel drive by removing front
propeller shaft or as front wheel drive by
removing rear propeller shaft, referring to
“Transfer Warning in Section 3C”.
Note that speedometer of vehicle does not
display vehicle speed because rear wheel
speed sensor signal is not output if rear
propeller shaft is removed.

• When testing with 4-wheel free chassis

dynamometer or speedometer tester
(which tester roller is driven by vehicle
wheels), be sure to shift transfer to 4H-
Lock position according to the step 4) in
“Transfer Warning in Section 3C”.

• When using On-vehicle type wheel

balancing equipment (1), be sure to jack up
all four wheels, off the ground completely
and support vehicle with safety stands (2).
Be careful of the other wheels, which will
rotate at the same time.

CAUTION

!

• This vehicle should be towed under one of

the following condition:
– With all wheels on a flatbed truck.
– With front or rear wheels lifted and a

dolly under the other wheels.

Precaution for Vehicle Equipped with ESP

®

System

S6JB0B0000016

• When testing with any of the following equipments

(when vehicle is tested by rotating wheels (tires)
under vehicle stop), be sure to deactivate ESP

®

system referring to “Precautions in Speedometer Test
or Other Tests in Section 4F” to obtain correct data.
When vehicle acceleration is not sensed and wheels
are rotating, ESP

® control module judges that wheels

are in slip condition and controls engine torque to
reduce by TCS control.
– 2 or 4-wheel chassis dynamometer
– Speedometer tester
– Brake tester
– Etc.

ESP

® control module

• When ESP

® control module is removed / installed, do

not use impact wrenches which generate shock or
impact to avoid damaging sensors in ESP

® control

module.

• When any of the following operation is done, calibrate

steering angle sensor, G sensor and master cylinder
pressure sensor (in ESP

® control module) referring to

“Sensor Calibration in Section 4F”.
– When battery or dome fuse is removed.
– When steering angle sensor is replaced.
– When ESP

® control module is removed.
