General items
- Explanation scope of repair procedures
- The repair procedures are divided into the following three main types of procedures: [Diagnosis], [Removal/Installation, Replacement, Disassembly/Assembly and Inspection/Adjustment], and [Final Inspection].
- Although a description of the following elemental procedures has been omitted from this manual, they should be performed with the actual procedures.
- Jacking and lifting procedures
- Cleaning of removed parts as necessary
- Visual inspection
- Preparation items
- The preparation items that should be prepared before starting the procedures, such as SSTs, general tools and lubricant are listed in the preparation items article. However, preparation items that are considered to be of general use for repair procedures (such as tool stands, jacks and rigid racks) are omitted.
- Procedures
- The exploded view shows the corresponding sections and titles as necessary.
- The exploded view includes descriptions of non-reusable parts, grease application locations, pre-coated bolts and tightening torques.
- Tightening torque, lubrication locations and non-reusable parts are described as the essential points of the procedures.CAUTION: If the above items can only be indicated in an illustration, an exploded view with these essentials is included. In such cases, all information such as torque and lubrication is included within the illustration.
- Procedures only describe essential items, with the location and contents of procedures included in an illustration, as well as detailed procedures, standard values, or precautions explained using text.
- In some cases, a single illustration is common to various similar models. For that reason, the actual vehicle may differ in their exact details.
- How to read the repair standard values
- Standard values and limits are printed in bold text.
- Definitions of terms
Standard value Indicates the tolerance range during inspection and adjustment. Limit Indicates the maximum or minimum value that cannot be surpassed during inspection and adjustment. Reference value If the measurement method for determining the standard value is quite difficult, this indicates a standard value for an easy measurement method when there is no possibility that a malfunction will occur. < Warning > Used to indicate that there is a danger of injury to the personnel performing the procedures or other personnel, and indicate that there is a danger of injury or accident if the instructions are not followed. < Caution > Used to indicate special precautions that must be taken regarding items and procedures that must be performed because failure to perform them will result in damage to the vehicle or parts. < Reference > Used to indicate supplemental explanations separate from the current text in order to make procedures easier to perform/understand. - SI units
