3. General Description

A: CAUTION

1. SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM 
“AIRBAG”

The airbag system wiring harness is routed near
the TCM.

CAUTION:
• All the airbag system wiring harnesses and
connectors are colored yellow. Do not use an
electric test equipment to check these circuits.
• Be careful not to damage the airbag system
wiring harness when performing diagnostics or
servicing the TCM.

2. MEASUREMENT

When measuring the voltage and resistance of the
ECM, TCM or each sensor, use a tapered pin with
a diameter of less than 0.64 mm (0.025 in) in order
to avoid poor contact. Do not insert a pin of more
than 0.65 mm (0.026 in) diameter.

B: INSPECTION

1. BATTERY

Measure the battery voltage and specific gravity of
the electrolyte.

Standard voltage:

12 V or more

Specific gravity:

1.260 or more

2. TRANSMISSION GROUND

Make sure that the ground terminal bolt is tightened
securely.

Tightening torque:

13 N·m (1.3 kgf-m, 9.4 ft-lb)

3. ATF LEVEL

Make sure that ATF level is the specified amount.
<Ref. to 5AT-28, INSPECTION, Automatic Trans-

Make sure the front differential oil level is the spec-
ified amount. <Ref. to 5AT-30, INSPECTION, Dif-
ferential Gear Oil.>
