SELECTION OF LUBRICANTS
ENGINE OIL
Engine oil should be used which conform to the requirements
of the API classification “For Service SG” or “For Service
SGKD”, and have the proper SAE grade number for the
expected temperature range.
Caution
Nondetergent or straight mineral oil must never be used.
Energy Conserving Oil
In order to improve fuel economy and conserve energy new,
lower friction engine oils have been developed. These oils are readily available and can be identified by such labels as “Energy
Conserving”, “Energy Saving”,
“Improved Fuel Economy”,
etc.

Generator) (Inspect for tension)
MOOSBBN
(1) Place straight edge as shown in the illustration.
(2) Measure the deflection with a force of
100 N (22 Ibs.)
applied to belt mid-point between water pump pulley
and generator pulley. If the standard value is not ob-
tained, make adjustment.
Standard value: 9.0-l 1.5 mm (.354-.453
in.)
(3) Use a tension gauge to check the belt tension. If the standard value is not obtained, make adjustment.
When tension gauge is used, the tension may be
measured between any two pulleys.
Standard value:
250-500 N (55-110
Ibs.)
7. ENGINE OIL (Change)MOOSAABc
Always use lubricants which conform to the requirements
of the API classification “For Service SG” or “For Service SG/CD”
when available, and have the proper SAE grade
number for the expected temperature range.
Never
Lose nondetergent or straight mineral oil.
(1) After warming up the engine, remove the oil filler cap.
(2) Remove the drain plug to drain the engine oil. (3) Replace the drain plug gasket with a new one and
tighten the drain plug.
(4) Supply new engine oil through the oil filler.

8. ENGINE OIL FILTER (Change)
MOOSABG
The quality of replacement filters varies considerably. Only high
quatlity filters should be used to assure most efficient
service. Genuine oil filters require that the filter is capable of
withstarlding a pressure of 256 psi are high quality filters
and are recommended as follows:
Oil Filter Part No.

Using Voltmeter
(1) Connect an analog-type voltmeter between the ground/
terminal and the on-board diagnostic output terminal of the
data link connector.
(2) Set the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
(3) Make a note of the pattern of the on-board diagnostic out- put indicated by the voltmenter’s indicator.
(4) Refer to the diagnostic chart, and repair the indicated loca- tion of malfunction.
(5) Erase the diagnostic trouble code.

(5) Input ID code “19”.
(6) When “FINISHED ERASING DIAG. CODE” is displayed,> Ipress the “CLEAR” key.
(7) Read out the on-board diagnostic output and check to be
sure that the correct code is being output.
If the Scan Tool is not Used
(1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
(2) Disconnect the ground cable from the battery terminal forten seconds or longer, and then reconnect it.
(3) Read out the on-board diagnostic output and check to be
sure that the correct code is being output.

(5) Switch ON the ignition switch (but do not start the engine)and leave as if for 15 seconds or longer.
NOTE
When the ignition switch is switched ON, the idle speed
control plunger extends to the fast-idle opening degree,
and, after 15 seconds have passed, contracts to the initialposition and stops there.
Initial position: the suitable idling position at which the idle speed control motor position sensor output
voltage is
0.9V.
fi Idle-speed
--\\screw 6FU1404(6) Switch OFF the ignition switch.
(7) Disconnect the connector of the idle-speed control motor, and then secure the
ISC motor at the initial position.
(8) Sufficiently loosen the fixed SAS.
(9) Start the engine and let it idle.
(10)Check the basic idling speed.
If the scan tool is used, select
No.22 and then read the id-
ling speed.
Basic idling speed: 750
+-50 rpm
NOTE
The engine speed may be 20 to 100 rpm lower than
indicated above for a new vehicle [driven approximately
500 km (300 miles) or less], but no adjustment is necessary.If the engine stalls or the rpm is low even though the
vehicle has been driven approximately 500 km (300 miles) or more, it is probable that deposits are adhered to the
throttle valve, so clean it. (Refer to
P.13-35.)
(1l)lf there is a deviation from the standard value, turn the en-
gine speed adjustment screw to make the adjustment.
NOT
E
When the engine speed adjustment screw is turned to make the adjustment, use a hexagonal wrench if possible,
and, in order to prevent backlash of the screw, make the
final adjustment at the tightening side.
(12)Tighten the fixed SAS until the engine speed increases;
then return the fixed SAS to find the point (the “touch
point”) at which the engine speed does not decrease.
Then, from that point, return the fixed SAS and additional
one-half turn. (13)Switch
OFF the ignition switch.

ten minutes; check to be sure that the idling condition is
normal.

(1)Start the engine and warm it up until the temperature of the
engine coolant reaches
80°C (176°F) or higher; then stop
the engine.
(2) Disconnect the air intake hose at the throttle body side.
(3) Spray cleaning liquid (from the intake port of the throttle body) onto the valve, and then leave as is for about fiveminutes.
(4) Start the engine and race it a few times; then let it run at idle speed for about one minute.
NOTE
If the engine idling speed is unstable (or the engine stalls),
let the engine run with the throttle valve slightly open.
(5) If deposits are not removed from the throttle valve, repeat steps (3) and (4).
(6) Connect the air intake hose.
(7) Using the scan tool, erase the diagnostic trouble code, or disconnect the battery’s ground cable for ten seconds orlonger and then reconnect it.
(8) Adjust the basic idle speed (engine speed adjusting screw). (Refer to
P.13-33.)
(9) Adjust the throttle position sensor.
