SCOPE OF MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
SERVICING EXPLANATIONS
This manual provides explanations, etc. concerning
procedures for the inspection, maintenance, repair
and servicing of the subject model. Note, however,
that for engine and transmission-related component
parts, this manual covers only on-vehicle inspec-
tions, adjustments, and the removal and installation
procedures for major components. For detailed infor-
mation concerning the inspection, checking, adjust-
ment, disassembly and reassembly of the engine,
transmission and major components after they have
been removed from the vehicle, please refer to sepa-
rate manuals covering the engine and the transmis-
sion.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
"On-vehicle Service" is procedures for performing
inspections and adjustments of particularly important
locations with regard to the construction and for
maintenance and servicing, but other inspection (for
looseness, play, cracking, damage, etc.) must also
be performed.
INSPECTION
Under this title are presented inspection and check-
ing procedures to be performed by using special
tools and measuring instruments and by feeling, but,
for actual maintenance and servicing procedures,
visual inspections should always be performed as
well.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
STANDARD VALUE
Indicates the value used as the standard for judging
the quality of a part or assembly on inspection or the
value to which the part or assembly is corrected and
adjusted. It is given by tolerance.
LIMIT
Shows the standard for judging the quality of a part
or assembly on inspection and means the maximum
or minimum value within which the part or assembly
must be kept functionally or in strength. It is a value
established outside the range of standard value.
REFERENCE VALUE
Indicates the adjustment value prior to starting the
work (presented in order to facilitate assembly and
adjustment procedures, and so they can be com-
pleted in a shorter time).
DANGER, WARNING, AND CAUTION
DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION call special
attention to a necessary action or to an action that
must be avoided. The differences among DANGER,
WARNING, and CAUTION are as follows:
• If a DANGER is not followed, the result is severe
bodily harm or even death.
• If a WARNING is not followed, the result could be
bodily injury.
• If a CAUTION is not followed, the result could be
damage to the vehicle, vehicle components or
service equipment.
INDICATION OF TIGHTENING TORQUE
Tightening torques (units: Nâ‹…m) are set to take into
account the central value and the allowable toler-
ance. The central value is the target value, and the
allowable tolerance provides the checking range for
tightening torques. If bolts and nuts are not provided
with tightening torques.
MODEL INDICATIONS
The following abbreviations are used in this manual
for identification of model types.
2500:Indicates an engine with the 2,477mL <4D56>
diesel engine.
2WD:Indicates the 2-wheel drive vehicles.
4WD:Indicates the 4-wheel drive vehicles.
A/C:Indicates the air conditioner.
A/T:Indicates the automatic transmission.
DOHC: Indicates an engine with the double over-
head camshaft.
M/T:Indicates the manual transmission.

CAUTION
During diagnosis, a diagnosis code associated
with other system may be set when the ignition
switch is turned on with connector(s) discon-
nected. On completion, confirm all systems for
diagnosis code(s). If diagnosis code(s) are set,
erase them all.
WARNING
Since the radiator fan rotates during CAN
bus line diagnostics, make sure that no one
is servicing the engine compartment before
diagnosing the CAN bus line. Since the CAN
communication stops when diagnosing the
CAN bus line, the ETACS-ECU detects the
time-out of the engine-ECU, and activates
the radiator fan to prevent overheating as
fail-safe.
Troubleshooting of electronic control systems for
which the M.U.T.-III can be used follows the basic
outline described below. Even in systems for which
the M.U.T.-III cannot be used, some of these sys-
tems still follow this outline.
1. STANDARD FLOW OF DIAGNOSIS TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting sections are based on the diagnostic flow as below. If the diagnostic flow is different from
that given below, or if additional explanation is required, the details of such differences or additions will also
be listed.

11. INSPECTION PROCEDURE BY USING
AN OSCILLOSCOPE
When there are inspection procedures using an
oscilloscope, these are described here.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
M1001013400865
The diagnosis function retrieves diagnosis code and
service data by M.U.T.-III and enables the perform-
ance of the actuator test.
• DIAGNOSIS CODE
• Service data sent
• Actuator test
• Diagnosis deletion using M.U.T.-III
• Freeze frame data
• Status indication by diagnosis code
• ECU information display
NOTE: If a diagnosis code is set, the "status indica-
tion by diagnosis code" informs users whether a
mechanical problem currently exists (current trouble)
or whether it existed before but normal operation has
been restored (past trouble).
HOW TO READ DIAGNOSIS CODE
CAUTION
Before connecting or disconnecting the M.U.T.-
III, turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.

nector, and read the diagnosis code.
NOTE: For details on how to use the M.U.T.-III, refer
to the "M.U.T.-III operation manual."
1. Ensure that the ignition switch is at the "LOCK"
(OFF) position.
2. Start up the personal computer.

3. Connect special tool M.U.T.-III USB cable
MB991827 to V.C.I. (MB991824) and the personal
computer.
4. Connect special tool M.U.T.-III main harness A
(MB991910) to the V.C.I.
5. Connect the M.U.T.-III main harness A to the
diagnosis connector of the vehicle.
6. Turn the V.C.I. power switch to the "ON" position.
NOTE: When the V.C.I. is energized, the V.C.I.
indicator lamp will be illuminated in a green col-
our.
7. Start the M.U.T.-III system on the personal
computer and turn the ignition switch to the "ON"
position.
8. Read the diagnosis code.
NOTE: When storing the diagnosis code as refer-
ence information, the freeze frame data obtains the
data when the diagnosis code is confirmed, and then
stores the ECU status of that time. By analysing
each data using M.U.T.-III, troubleshooting can be
carried out efficiently.
9. Disconnecting the M.U.T.-III is the reverse of the
connecting sequence, making sure that the
ignition switch is at the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
ERASING DIAGNOSIS CODE
CAUTION
Before connecting or disconnecting the M.U.T.-
III, turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
Connect the M.U.T.-III to the diagnosis connector,
and erase the diagnosis code. The procedure is the
same as "How to Read Diagnosis Code ."
HOW TO USE THE INSPECTION
PROCEDURES
M1001013500345
The causes of many of the problems occurring in electric circuitry are generally the connectors, components,
the ECU, the wiring harnesses between connectors, in that order. These inspection procedures follow this
order. They first try to discover a problem with a connector or a defective component.
