INTRODUCTION: REPAIR INSTRUCTION:

PRECAUTION (Continued)

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 far away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle electronic systems as possible.
(b) Install an 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 sensors locations, refer to the section on the applicable components.
(c) Keep the antenna and feeder separate from other wirings as much as possible. This will prevent signals sent 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 any high-powered mobile communication system.

8. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH TRACTION CONTROL (TRAC) AND VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC) SYSTEMS
When testing with a 2-wheel drum tester such as a speedometer tester, a combination tester for the speedometer and brake, a chassis dynamometer, or when jacking up the front wheels and turning the wheels, perform the following procedure to enter the inspection mode and stop the TRAC and VSC systems.
(a) Activating inspection mode (Not using Techstream)
HINT:
- Perform procedures "D" to "H" within 30 seconds.
- Perform procedures "F" and "G" within 15 seconds each.
(1) Ensure that the engine switch is off and the engine is stopped (Procedure "A").
(2) Make sure that the shift lever is in the P position (Procedure "B").
(3) Start the engine (Procedure "C").
(4) Apply the parking brake by depressing the parking brake pedal (Procedure "D").
(5) Depress and release the brake pedal twice (Procedure "E").
(6) While holding the brake pedal down, release and apply the parking brake twice (Procedure "F").
(7) With the parking brake applied, depress and release the brake pedal twice (Procedure "G").





(8) Check that the "VSC TEST MODE" message appears on the multi-information display and SLIP indicator light come on (Procedure "H").
HINT :
- If the "VSC TEST MODE" message appears on the multi-information display and SLIP indicator light do not come on in procedure "H", repeat the procedures from "A" to "H".
- Turning the engine switch off ends inspection mode.

(b) Activating inspection mode (Using Techstream)
(1) Ensure that the engine switch is off and the engine is stopped (Procedure "A").
(2) Make sure that the shift lever is in the P position (Procedure "B").
(3) Connect Techstream to the DLC3 (Procedure "C").
(4) Start the engine (Procedure "D").
(5) Turn the Techstream main switch on (Procedure "E").
(6) On the tester display, select the inspection mode (Procedure "F").





(7) Check that the "VSC TEST MODE" message appears on the multi-information display and SLIP indicator light come on (Procedure "G").
HINT :
- If the "VSC TEST MODE" message appears on the multi-information display and SLIP indicator light do not come on in procedure "G", repeat the procedures from "A" to "G".
- Turning the engine switch off ends inspection mode.

9. 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) Avoid performing unnecessary 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.
