1. INSPECT REAR AXLE HUB BEARING BACKLASH

(a) Using a dial gauge, check for backlash near the center of the axle hub.
Maximum: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If backlash exceeds the maximum, replace the axle hub assembly.
NOTICE: Ensure that the dial gauge is set at right angles to the measurement surface.
2. INSPECT REAR AXLE HUB BEARING DEVIATION

(a) Using a dial gauge, check for deviation in the surface of the axle hub outside the hub bolt.
Maximum: 0.07 mm (0.0027 in.)
If backlash exceeds the maximum, replace the axle hub assembly.
NOTICE: Ensure that the dial gauge is set at right angles to the measurement surface.

Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The throttle actuator is operated by the ECM and opens and closes the
throttle valve using gears.
The opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the Throttle Position
(TP) sensor, which is mounted
on the throttle body. The TP sensor provides feedback to the ECM. This ...
