D20DTF ENGINE INFORMATION
4) Basic Inspection
(1) Horn operation
Listen for horn sound by operating the horn.
-
(2) Brake operation
Check if there is any abnormal noise, braking distance is increased or the braking force is
applied to the only one wheel. If the brake warning lamp is not turned off or flashing, recheck
the brake system because there is a fault in the brake system.
Check the brake pipes and hoses for connection, oil leak, crack or interference after
changing tire location. When replacing tires check the brake disc for surface condition and
wear, too.
Check the parking brake cable and brake operation. Inspect the brakes more often if habit
or conditions result in frequent braking.

(3) Exhaust system
Be alert to any changes in the sound of the system or the smell of the fumes. These are
signs that the system may be leaking or overheating. Have the system inspected and
repaired immediately.
Inspect the complete system (including the catalytic converter if equipped). Inspect the body
near the exhaust system. Look for broken, damaged, missing, or out-of position parts as
well as open seams, holes, loose connections, or other conditions which could cause heat
buildup in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes seep into the trunk or passenger
compartment.

(4) Tires
Be alert to any vibration of the steering wheel or the seats at normal highway speeds. This
may mean a wheel needs to be balanced. Also, a pull right or left on a straight, level road
may show the need for a tire pressure adjustment or a wheel alignment.
-
(5) Steering and suspension system
Inspect the front and rear suspension and the steering system for damaged, loose or missing
parts, signs of wear or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering line and the hoses for
proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and inspect the drive axle boot and
seals for damage, tears or leakage. Replace the seals if necessary.
-
(6) Engine oil
Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. The best time to check the engine oil level is
when the oil is warm.
