MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
SERVICING EXPLANATIONS

This manual provides explanations, etc. concerning
procedures for the inspection, maintenance, repair
and servicing of the subject model. Unless otherwise
specified, each service procedure covers all models.
Procedures covering specific models are identified
by the model codes, or similar designation (engine
type, transaxle type, etc.). A description of these des-
ignations is covered in this manual under "VEHICLE
IDENTIFICATION."

.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

The "ON-VEHICLE SERVICE" section has proce-
dures for performing inspections and adjustments of
particularly important components. These proce-
dures are done with regard to maintenance and ser-
vicing, but other inspections (looseness, play,
cracking, damage, etc.) must also be performed.

.

SERVICE PROCEDURES

The service steps are arranged in numerical order.
Attention to be paid in performing vehicle service are
described in detail in SERVICE POINTS.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

.

STANDARD VALUE

Indicates the value used as the standard for judging
whether or not a part or adjustment is correct.

.

LIMIT

Shows the maximum or minimum value for judging
whether or not a part or adjustment is acceptable.

.

REFERENCE VALUE

Indicates the adjustment value prior to starting the
work (presented in order to facilitate assembly and
adjustment procedures, and so they can be com-
pleted in a shorter time).

.

DANGER, WARNING, AND CAUTION

DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION call special
attention to a necessary action or to an action that
must be avoided. The differences among DANGER,
WARNING, and CAUTION are as follows:

• If a DANGER is not followed, the result is severe

bodily harm or even death.

• If a WARNING is not followed, the result could be

bodily injury.

• If a CAUTION is not followed, the result could be

damage to the vehicle, vehicle components or
service equipment.

TIGHTENING TORQUE INDICATION

The tightening torque indicates a median and its tol-
erance by a unit of N

⋅m (in-lb) or N⋅m (ft-lb). For fas-

teners with no assigned torque value, refer to

P.00-60

.

SPECIAL TOOL NOTE

Only MMC special tool part numbers are called out in
the repair sections of this manual. Please refer to the
special tool cross-reference chart located at the
beginning of each group, for the special tool number
that is available in your market.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDELINES

M1001008800287

VERIFY THE COMPLAINT

• Make sure the customer's complaint and the ser-

vice writer's work order description are under-
stood before starting work.

• Make sure the correct operation of the system is

understood. Read the service manual description
to verify normal system operation.

• Operate the system to see the symptoms. Look

for other symptoms that were not reported by the
customer, or on the work order, that may be
related to the problem.

DETERMINE POSSIBLE CAUSES

Compare the confirmed symptoms to the diagnostic
symptom indexes to find the right diagnosis proce-
dure.
If the confirmed symptoms cannot be found on any
symptom index, determine other possible causes.

• Analyze the system diagrams and list all possible

causes for the problem symptoms.

• Rank all these possible causes in order of proba-

bility, based on how much of the system they
cover, how likely they are to be the cause, and
how easy they will be to check. Be sure to take
experience into account. Consider the causes of
similar problems seen in the past. The list of
causes should be ranked in order from general to
specific, from most-likely to least-likely, and from
easy-to-check to hard-to-check.

FIND THE PROBLEM

After the symptoms have been confirmed, and prob-
able causes have been identified, the next step is to
make step-by-step checks of the suspected system
components, junctions, and links in logical order.
Use the diagnostic procedures in the service manual
whenever possible. Follow these procedures care-
fully to avoid missing an important step in the diagno-
sis sequence. It might be the skipped step that leads
to the solution of the problem.
If the service manual doesn't have step-by-step pro-
cedures to help diagnose the problem, make a series
of checks based on the ranked list of probable
causes. Troubleshooting checks should be made in
the order that the list of causes was ranked:

• General to specific

• Most-likely to least-likely

• Easy-to-check to hard-to-check

REPAIR THE PROBLEM

When the step-by-step troubleshooting checks find a
fault, perform the proper repairs. Make sure to fix the
root cause of the problem, not just the symptom. Just
fixing the symptom, without fixing the root cause, will
cause the symptom to eventually return.

VERIFY THE REPAIR

After repairs are made, recheck the operation of the
system to confirm that the problem is eliminated. Be
sure to check the system thoroughly. Sometimes
new problems are revealed after repairs have been
made.
