(a) Warm up and stop the engine.
NOTICE:
A warmed up engine should have an engine coolant temperature of over 80°C (176°F) and an engine oil temperature of 60°C (140°F), and the engine rpm should be stabilized.
(b) When using the Techstream:
(1) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

Idle speed:
600 to 700 rpm
NOTICE:
When checking the idle speed, the transmission should be in the neutral.
HINT
Refer to the Techstream operator's manual for further details.
(5) If the idle speed is not as specified, check the air intake system.
(6) Disconnect the Techstream from the DLC3.
(c) When not using the Techstream:
(1) Using SST, connect the tachometer probe to terminal TAC of the DLC3.
SST : 09843-18040
NOTICE:
Confirm the terminal numbers before connecting them. Connecting the wrong terminals can damage the engine.
(2) Race the engine speed at 2,500 rpm for approx. 90 seconds.
(3) Check the idle speed.
Idle speed (Transmission neutral position):
600 to 700 rpm
(4) If the speed is not as specified, check the air intake system.
(5) Disconnect the tachometer from the DLC3.
9. INSPECT COMPRESSION
(a) Warm up and stop the engine.
NOTICE:
A warmed up engine should have an engine coolant temperature of over 80°C (176°F) and an engine oil temperature of 60°C (140°F), and the engine rpm should be stabilized.
(b) Remove the cool air intake duct seal.
(c) Remove engine room side cover LH.
(d) Remove engine room side cover RH.
(e) Remove the V-bank cover.
(f) Remove the air cleaner inlet No. 1.

(h) Disconnect the 3 clamps and connector.
(i) Disconnect the 4 connectors.
(j) Disconnect the throttle body connector.
(k) Disconnect the 6 injector connectors.
(l) Remove the 6 ignition coils.
(m) Remove the 6 spark plugs.
(n) Disconnect the 2 injector driver connectors as shown in the illustration.
(o) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
(p) Fully open the throttle.
(q) While cranking the engine, measure the compression pressure.
HINT
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine speed of 250 rpm or more.
NOTICE:
The measurement must be done as quickly as possible.
Standard compression pressure:
1.4 MPa (14 kgf*cm2, 199 psi) or more
Minimum pressure:
0.98 MPa (10.0 kgf*cm2, 142 psi)
(r) Perform the inspection above for each cylinder.
Difference between each cylinder:
0.1 MPa (1.0 kgf*cm2, 15 psi) or less
(s) If the cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole. Then perform the first 3 steps under "inspect the cylinder compression pressure" for the cylinders with low compression.
HINT
* If adding oil helps boost the compression, it is likely that the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are worn or damaged.
* If pressure stays low, a valve may be stuck or seated improperly, or there may be leakage in the gasket.
(t) Connect the 2 injector driver connectors as shown in the illustration.
(u) Install the 6 spark plugs.
Torque : 18 Nm (184 kgf-cm, 13 ft-lbf)

(z) Connect the 3 clamps and connector.
(aa) Install the air cleaner cap with the air cleaner hose.
(ab) Install the air cleaner inlet No. 1.
Torque : 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf)

(d) Immediately check CO / HC concentration at idle and / or 2,500 rpm.
HINT
* When performing the 2 mode (2,500 rpm and idle) test, follow the measurement order prescribed by the applicable local regulations.
* If the CO / HC concentration does not comply with regulations, troubleshoot in the order given below.
(1) Check the A/F sensor and heated oxygen sensor operation.
(2) See the table below for possible causes, then inspect and correct the applicable causes if necessary.
