| Inspection |
| 1. |
Check the front and rear flexible couplings for cracks or damage. |
| 2. |
Inspect the flexible coupling centering bushing.If the busing is damaged, replace the propeller shaft assembly.
|
| 1. |
Install a dial indicator with its needle on the center of front propeller shaft or rear propeller shaft. |
| 2. |
Turn the propeller shaft slowly and check the runout. Repeat this procedure for the other propeller shaft.
|
| 1. |
Check that the spider bearing rotates smoothly. |
| 2. |
Check that there is no play in the spider bearing and replace the propeller shaft if necessary.
|
| Removal |
| 1. |
Loosen the wheel nuts slightly. Raise the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported. |
| 2. |
Remove the muffler.
(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Muffler") |
| 3. |
Loosen the mount bolts and then aluminum cover (A).
|
| 4. |
Remove the center bearing bracket (A) mounting bolts.
|
| 5. |
Remove the cross member (A), stay mounting bracket (B). [2WD]
|
| 6. |
After making a match mark (C) on the rubber coupling (A) and
rear differential companion (B), remove the propeller shaft mounting
bolts (D).[4WD]
|
| 7. |
Make the alignment marks (C) on the rubber coupling of the
propeller (A) and companion, and the corresponding marks on the
differential carrier (B), and then remove the propeller shaft tightening
bolt (D).
|
| 8. |
Install in the reverse order of removal. |

Description The A/C Pressure Transducer (APT) converts the pressure value of high-pressure line into voltage value after measuring it. By converted voltage value, engine ECU controls the cooling fan by operating it at high speed or low speed.
Inspection 1. Turn the ignition switch ON. 2. Manually operate the control switch and control the voltage of the blower motor. 3. Select the control switch to raise the voltage until high speed. Specification Fan Speed (Manual)Motor Voltage (V)13.
