HINT
Testing and Inspection.

2. INSPECT ENGINE OIL

HINT
Testing and Inspection.

3. INSPECT BATTERY

HINT
Component Tests and General Diagnostics.

4. INSPECT AIR CLEANER FILTER ELEMENT SUB-ASSEMBLY

(a) Remove the air cleaner cap.

(b) Remove the air filter element.

(c) Visually check that the air filter is not excessively damaged or oily. If necessary, replace the air filter.

5. INSPECT SPARK PLUG Testing and Inspection

6. INSPECT V-RIBBED BELT Testing and Inspection

7. INSPECT VALVE AND ADJUSTER NOISE

(a) Rev up the engine several times. Check that the engine does not emit unusual noises. If unusual noises occur, warm up the engine and idle it for over 30 minutes. Then perform the inspection above again. If any defects or problems are found during the inspection above, perform a lash adjuster inspection Engine Unit.

8. INSPECT IGNITION TIMING

(a) When using the Techstream:

(1) Warm up and stop the engine.

(2) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(4) Enter Data List Mode on the Techstream.

HINT
Refer to the Techstream operator's manual for further details.

(5) Inspect the ignition timing at idle.

Ignition timing:

8 to 12 degrees BTDC

NOTICE:
* Turn all the electrical systems and the A/C off.
* Inspect the ignition timing with the cooling fans off.
* Check the ignition timing with the shift lever in N.

(6) Enter the following menus: TC (TE1) / OFF.

(7) Turn the ignition switch off.

(8) Disconnect the Techstream from the DLC3.

(b) When not using the Techstream:

(1) Remove the No. 2 cylinder head cover Removal.

(2) Connect the tester probe of a timing light to the wire of the ignition connector for No. 1 cylinder.





NOTICE:
Use a timing light that detects the first signal.

(3) Warm up and stop the engine.

(4) Connect the clip of the timing light to the wire harness.

NOTICE:
Use a timing light that detects the primary signal.

(5) Using SST, connect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.





SST : 09843-18040

NOTICE:
Examine the terminal numbers before connecting them. Connecting the wrong terminals can damage the engine.

(6) Inspect the ignition timing at idle.

Ignition timing:

8 to 12 degrees BTDC

NOTICE:
* Turn all the electrical systems and the A/C off.
* Inspect the ignition timing with the cooling fans off.
* Check the ignition timing with the shift lever in N or P.

(7) Disconnect SST from terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.

(8) Turn the ignition switch off.

(9) Remove the timing light.

(10) Install the No. 2 cylinder head cover Installation.

9. INSPECT ENGINE IDLE SPEED

(a) Warm up and stop the engine.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(d) Enter Data List Mode on the Techstream.

HINT
Refer to the Techstream operator's manual for further details.

(e) Inspect the engine idle speed.

Idle speed:

600 to 700 rpm

NOTICE:
* Turn all the electrical systems and the A/C off.
* Inspect the idle speed with the cooling fans off.
* Check the idle speed with the shift lever in N or P.

(f) Turn the ignition switch off.

(g) Disconnect the Techstream from the DLC3.

10. INSPECT COMPRESSION

(a) Warm up and stop the engine.

(b) Remove the No. 2 cylinder head cover Removal.

(c) Remove the 4 ignition coils.

(d) Remove the 4 spark plugs Removal.

(e) Disconnect the 4 fuel injector connectors.

(f) Inspect the cylinder compression pressure.





(1) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.

(2) Fully open the throttle.

(3) While cranking the engine, measure the compression pressure.

Compression:

1373 kPa (14.0 kgf/cm2, 199 psi)

Minimum pressure:

1079 kPa (11.0 kgf/cm2, 157 psi)

Difference between each cylinder:

98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm2, 14.2 psi) or less

NOTICE:
* Use a fully-charged battery so that the engine speed can be increased to 250 rpm or more.
* Inspect the other cylinders in the same way.
* Measure the compression in as a short time as possible.

(4) If the cylinder compression is low, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole, then inspect it again.

HINT
* If adding oil increases the compression, the piston rings and/or cylinder bore may be worn or damaged.
* If the pressure stays low, the valve may be stuck or seated improperly, or there may be leakage from the gasket.

(g) Connect the 4 fuel injector connectors.

(h) Install the 4 spark plugs Installation.

(i) Install the 4 ignition coils.

Torque : 10 Nm (102 kgf-cm, 7 ft-lbf)

(j) Install the No. 2 cylinder head cover Installation.

11. INSPECT CO/HC

HINT
This check determines whether or not the idle CO/HC complies with local regulations.

(a) Start the engine.

(b) Run the engine at 2500 rpm for approximately 180 seconds.

(c) Insert the CO/HC meter testing probe at least 40 cm (1.3 ft.) into the tailpipe while idling.

(d) Check the CO/HC concentration during idle and when the engine is running at 2500 rpm.

HINT
When doing the 2 mode (with the engine idling/ running at 2500 rpm) test, the measuring procedures are determined by applicable local regulations.

If the CO/HC concentration does not comply with local 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 the applicable parts and repair them if necessary.
