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.

Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the sensors mounted in front of and behind the three-way
catalyst (TWC) to monitor its
efficiency. The first sensor, an Air Fuel ratio (A/F) sensor, sends pre-catalyst
A/F ratio information to the
ECM. The second sensor, a heated oxygen sensor (O2S), sends ...
Evaporator temperature sensor circuit
DESCRIPTION
The evaporator temperature sensor (A/C thermistor) is installed on the
evaporator in the air conditioning
unit. It detects the temperature of the cooled air that has passed through the
evaporator and its signal is
used to control the air conditioning. It sends a signal to the A/C ...
