  72. Do the battery installation procedure (see «BATTERY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-423695-S12032225202011092800000) ).
  73. Inspect for fuel leaks. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II) (do not operate the starter) so the fuel pump runs for about 2 seconds and pressurizes the fuel line. Repeat this operation three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
  74. Refill the engine with the engine oil (see step 4 under «ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK»(ref-423676-S30996061642011092800000) ).
  75. Refill the transmission with fluid: Manual transmission (see «TRANSMISSION FLUID INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT»(ref-423683-S19269959282011092800000) ) Automatic transmission (see «ATF REPLACEMENT»(ref-423684-S21854405112011092800000) )
  76. A/T model: Move the shift lever to each gear, and verify that the A/T gear position indicator follows the transmission range switch.
  77. M/T model: Check that the transmission shifts into all gears smoothly.
  78. Refill the reservoir with power steering fluid (see step 6 under «FLUID CHECK/REPLACEMENT»(ref-423678-S13606714012011092800000) ).
  79. Refill the radiator with engine coolant (see step 8 under «COOLANT REPLACEMENT»(ref-423681-S08836873002011092800000) ).
  80. Do the power steering system bleeding procedure (see step 7 under «FLUID CHECK/REPLACEMENT»(ref-423678-S13606714012011092800000) ).
  81. Do the cooling system bleeding procedure (see «COOLANT CHECK»(ref-423681-S04277852872011092800000) ).
  82. Check for fluid leaks.
  83. Do the ECM/PCM reset procedure (see «HDS CLEAR COMMAND»(ref-423698-S33409657662011092800000) ).
  84. Do the CKP pattern clear/CKP pattern learn procedure (see «CKP PATTERN CLEAR/CKP PATTERN LEARN»(ref-423698-S35315721402011092800000) ).
  85. Inspect the idle speed (see «IDLE SPEED INSPECTION»(ref-423700-S22595328652011092800000) ).
  86. Inspect the ignition timing (see «IGNITION TIMING INSPECTION»(ref-423690-S26122387712011092800000) ).
  87. Check the wheel alignment (see «WHEEL ALIGNMENT»(ref-423679-S40847451382011092800000) ).
