SERVICEABILITY AND RELIABILITY
M2000028001316
ENHANCED DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
Diagnosis functions have been included for the fol-
lowing systems, so that it is possible to use the scan
tool to read the diagnostic trouble codes and service
data and to carry out actuator tests.
ADAPTATION OF BOLTS AND NUTS
WITH STABILIZER FOR COEFFICIENT OF
FRICTION
*
The bolts and nuts with stabilizer for coefficient of
friction are used for the connections such as the sus-
pension arm and crossmember in order to stabilize
the axial force and to ensure the high axial force at
bolt/nut connections, resulting in improved reliability.
NOTE:
*
: The bolts and nuts with stabilizer for coeffi-
cient of friction mean that the bolts and nuts with sur-
face treatment to stabilize and reduce the coefficient
of friction, allowing to achieve the stable axial force
and to secure the high axial force with low tightening
torque.
