• A QUICK REFERENCE INDEX, a black tab (e.g.

) is provided on the first page. You can quickly find the

first page of each section by matching it to the section's black tab.

• THE CONTENTS are listed on the first page of each section.
• THE TITLE is indicated on the upper portion of each page and shows the part or system.
• THE PAGE NUMBER of each section consists of two or three letters which designate the particular section

and a number (e.g. “BR-5”).

• THE SMALL ILLUSTRATIONS show the important steps such as inspection, use of special tools, knacks of

work and hidden or tricky steps which are not shown in the previous large illustrations.
Assembly, inspection and adjustment procedures for the complicated units such as the automatic transaxle
or transmission, etc. are presented in a step-by-step format where necessary.

• THE LARGE ILLUSTRATIONS are exploded views (see the following) and contain tightening torques, lubri-

cation points, section number of the PARTS CATALOG (e.g. SEC. 440) and other information necessary to
perform repairs.
The illustrations should be used in reference to service matters only. When ordering parts, refer to the appro-
priate PARTS CATALOG.
Components shown in an illustration may be identified by a circled number. When this style of illustration is
used, the text description of the components will follow the illustration.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

GI-5

< HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL >

Refer to Component Parts and Harness Connector Location for the Systems described in each
section for identification/location of components and harness connectors.

Refer to the Circuit Diagram for quick pinpoint check.
If you need to check circuit continuity between harness connectors in more detail, such as when a
sub-harness is used, refer to Wiring Diagram in each individual section and Harness Layout in PG
section for identification of harness connectors.

When checking circuit continuity, ignition switch should be OFF.

Before checking voltage at connectors, check battery voltage.

After accomplishing the Diagnostic Procedures and Electrical Components Inspection, make sure
that all harness connectors are reconnected as they were.

HOW TO FOLLOW TEST GROUPS IN TROUBLE DIAGNOSES

Work and diagnostic procedure
Start to diagnose a problem using procedures indicated in enclosed test groups.

Questions and required results
Questions and required results are indicated in bold type in test group.

• Connector symbols shown from the terminal side are enclosed by

a single line and followed by the direction mark.

• Connector symbols shown from the harness side are enclosed by

a double line and followed by the direction mark.

• Certain systems and components, especially those related to

OBD, may use a new style slide-locking type harness connector.
