FOREWORD This service manual contains diagnosis, on-vehicle service, wiring diagrams, and component unit repair for Medium Duty Steel Cab Vehicles. Keep this manual in a handy place for ready reference. If properly used, it will enable the technician to serve the owners of these vehicles. CAUTION: This service manual is intended for use by professional, qualified technicians. Attempting repairs or service without the appropriate training, tools, and equipment could cause injury to you or others and damage to your vehicle that may cause it not to operate properly. These vehicles contain parts dimensioned in the metric system as well as in the customary system. Some fasteners are metric and are very close in dimension to familiar customary fasteners in the inch system. It is important to note that, during any vehicle maintenance procedures, replacement fasteners must have the same measurements and strength as those removed, whether metric or customary. (Numbers on the heads of metric bolts and on surfaces of metric nuts indicate their strength. Customary bolts use radial lines for this purpose, while most customary nuts do not have strength markings.) Mismatched or incorrect fasteners can result in vehicle damage or malfunction, or possibly personal injury. Therefore, fasteners removed from the vehicle should be saved for re-use in the same location whenever possible. Where the fasteners are not satisfactory for re-use, care should be taken to select a replacement that matches the original. For information and assistance, see your Authorized dealer.
CAUTION To reduce the chance of personal injury and/or property damage, the following instructions must be carefully observed. Proper service and repair are important to the safety of the service technician and the safe, reliable operation of all motor vehicles. If part replacement is necessary, the part must be replaced with one of the same part number or with an equivalent part. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality. The service procedures recommended and described in this service manual are effective methods of performing service and repair. Some of these procedures require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose. Accordingly, anyone who intends to use a replacement part, service procedure or tool, which is not recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, must first determine that neither his safety nor the safe operation of the vehicle will be jeopardized by the replacement part, service procedure or tool selected. It is important to note that this manual contains various Cautions and Notices that must be carefully observed in order to reduce the risk of personal injury during service or repair, or the possibility that improper service or repair may damage the vehicle or render it unsafe. It is also important to understand that these 'Cautions' and 'Notices' are not exhaustive, because it is impossible to warn of all the possible hazardous consequences that might result from failure to follow these instructions.

OA-2 GENERAL INFORMATION HANDLING ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE PARTS When handling an electronic part that has as ESD sensitive sticker (figure 1), the service technician should follow these guidelines to reduce any possible electrostatic charge build-up on the service technician's body and the electronic part in the dealership: 1. Do not open the package until it is time to install the part. 2. Avoid touching the electrical terminals of the part. 3. Before removing the part from its package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle. 4. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while handling the part and more frequently after sliding across the seat, sitting down from a standing position or walking a distance. NOTICE ^A CONTENTS SENSITIVE TO STATIC ELECTRICITY Model NPR/W4 4x2 Figure 3. Model Identification VIN (VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER) AND WEIGHT RATING PLATE The VIN and Weight Rating Plate (figure 4) lists the manufacturer, gross vehicle weight for the vehicle, maximum front end weight at ground, maximum rear end weight at ground, and the VIN (vehicle identification number). This plate is located on the driver's door in the lower right hand corner. The vehicle identification number is a legal identifier of your vehicle. It not only appears on the VIN plate, but also on the Vehicle Certificates of Title and Registration. The vehicle identification number specifically identifies a vehicle by code. Figure 5 displays plays the codes and descriptions for the model covered in this manual. Figure 1. Electrostatic Discharge Symbol MODEL DESIGNATION The model designation for this vehicle is NPR/W4S042. Refer to figure 2 for the model explanation and figure 3 for the model identification.

For the gross vehicle weight rating and the gross vehicle combined weight rating, refer to Model Explanation (figure 3). For the gross vehicle weight rating range refer to the VIN Chart (figure 5). SERVICE PARTS IDENTIFICATION LABEL The "Service Parts Identification" label (figure 6) lists major components and their part numbers plus vehicle options and their codes. The information on the label was printed at the factory; therefore, it represents only the equipment on the vehicle when it was shipped from the factory. Always refer to this label when ordering replacement service parts. (Refer to the "NOTICE" on the label.) The service parts identification label is located on the right-hand step support panel. ^ V.
