INSPECTION PROCEDURE
*NOTE: Inspect only 1997 models. For 1998 - 99 models, go to step 7 of REPAIR PROCEDURE.
Inspect the operation of both door handles, even though the customer may have complained about the operation of only one door.
Visually check how far you have to pull out the inside door handle before the door releases.
*^ If the door releases with the door handle pulled out slightly more than halfway, there is no need to replace the inner handle rod. Go to step 7 of
REPAIR PROCEDURE.
^
If you have to pull the door handle out almost to the fully open position to release the door, replace the inner handle rod. Go to step 1 of REPAIR
PROCEDURE. *
