MAINTENANCE SERVICE

TSB Revision

GENERAL <BODY AND CHASSIS>

00-39

Severe usage conditions:

1. Driving on dusty, rough, muddy or salt-spread roads
2. Towing or police, taxi or commercial operation
3. Extensive idling and/or low speed operation
4. Repeated short-trip operation at freezing temperatures (engine not thoroughly warmed up)
5. Extended use of brakes while driving
6. Driving in sandy areas
7. More than 50% operation in heavy city traffic during hot weather above 90

°C (32°F)

MAINTENANCE SERVICE

1. FUEL SYSTEM (TANK, PIPE LINE AND 
CONNECTIONS, AND FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE 
CAP) (Check for leaks)

M1001001600130

1. Check for damage or leakage in the fuel lines and 

connections.

2. Inspect the surface of fuel hoses for heat and mechanical 

damage. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, checking, tears, 
cuts, abrasions and excessive swelling indicate deterioration 
of the rubber.

3. If the fabric casing of the rubber hose is exposed by cracks 

and abrasions in the fuel system, the hoses should be 
replaced.

2. FUEL HOSES (CHECK CONDITION)

M1001001700137

Make sure that the hoses do not come in contact with any heat 
source or moving component which might cause heat damage 
or mechanical wear.

3. AIR CLEANER ELEMENT (Replace)

M1001001800286

The air cleaner element will become dirty during use, reducing 
its effect. Replace it with a new one.

.

REPLACEMENT OF AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
1. Loosen the clamp coupling the air intake hose and the air 

cleaner housing cover, and separate the air intake hose.

2. Disconnect the volume airflow sensor connector.
3. Disconnect the air cleaner housing cover clips.
4. Remove the air cleaner housing cover and replace the air 

cleaner element with a new one.

5. Clamp the clips and coupling, and then connect the volume 

airflow sensor connector.

4. EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM (CHECK 
FOR LEAKS AND CLOGGING) - EXCEPT 
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CANISTER

M1001001900272

If the fuel-vapor vent line is clogged or damaged, the fuel vapor 
mixture will escape into the atmosphere causing excessive 
emissions. Disconnect the line at both ends, and blow it clean 
with compressed air. Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap from 
the filler tube and check to see if there is evidence that the 
packing makes improper contact to the filler tube.

5. SPARK PLUGS (REPLACE)

M1001002000302

CAUTION

Iridium plugs are used. Use care not to damage the iridium 
and platinum tips of the plugs. Do not adjust the spark 
plug gap.
1. Spark plugs must spark properly to assure proper engine 

performance and reduce exhaust emission level. Therefore, 
they should be replaced periodically with new ones.
Spark plug type

2. The new plugs should be checked for the proper gap.

Spark plug gap: 0.7 

− 0.8 mm (0.028 − 0.031 inch)

3. Install the spark plugs and tighten to 25

±5 N⋅m (18±4 ft-lb).

6. IGNITION CABLES (REPLACE)

M1001002100064

CAUTION

When disconnecting an ignition cable, be sure to hold the 
cable boot. If the cable is disconnected by pulling on the 
cable alone, an open circuit might result.
The ignition cables should be replaced periodically with new 
ones. After replacing, make sure that the ignition cables are 
routed properly and fully seated.

7. TIMING BELT (REPLACE)

M1001002300284

Replace the belt with a new one according to the maintenance 
schedule on 

P.00-36

 to assure proper engine performance.

For removal and installation procedures, refer to GROUP 11A,
