Press the scan tool clear key (select aforced driving
cancel mode) to release the ACTUATOR TEST
NOTE
If the test is not a forced driving will continue
for 27 minutes. Driving under this condition may damage
the engine.
Check that the actual ignition timing is at the st andard
value.
Standard value: Approx. BTDC
NOTE
Ignition timing is variable within about even under
normal operating.
2. And it is automatically further advanced by abou t
from BTDC at higher altitudes.
CURB IDLE SPEED CHECK
Before inspection and adjustment, set vehicles in the
following condition.
lEngine coolant temperature:
lLights, electric cooling fan and all accessories: OFF
lTransaxle: Neutral (P range on vehicles with A/T)
2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF and connect the scan
tool to the data link connector.
3. Select No. 17 of the SCAN TOOL ACTUATOR TEST
4. Check the basic ignition timing.
Standard value: BTDC
5. Run the engine at idle for 2 minutes.
6. Select No. 22 of the SCAN TOOL DATA LIST.
7. Check the curb idle speed.
Standard value: 750 100
NOTE
The idle speed is controlled automatically by the i dle air
control system.
8. If the idle speed is outside the standard value, check
the components by referring to GROUP Trou-
bleshooting.
IDLE MIXTURE CHECK
Before inspection, set vehicles in the following co ndition:
lEngine coolant temperature:
lLights, electric cooling fan and all accessories: O FF
lTransaxle: Neutral (P range on vehicles with
2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF and connect the scan
tool to the data link connector.
3. Select No. 17 of the SCAN TOOL ACTUATOR TEST.
4.Check that the basic ignition timing is within the standard
value..

On-vehicle
Run the engine.
8. Set CO, HC tester.
7. Check the CO contents and the HC contents at idle.
Standard value:
CO contents: 0.5% or less
HC contents: 100 ppm or less
8. the standard value is exceeded, check the following
items:
l Diagnostic output
l Closed-loop control (When the closed-loop control
is carried out normally, the output signal of the heated
oxygen sensor and

PRESSURE CHECK
1.Before inspection, check that the engine oil, start er and
battery are normal. Also, set the vehicle to the fo llowing
condition:
lEngine coolant temperature:
lLights, electric cooling fan and all accessories: O FF
lTransaxle: Neutral (P range on vehicles with
2. Disconnect the spark plug cables.
3. Remove all of the spark plugs.
4. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor
NOTE
Doing this will prevent the engine control unit fro m carrying
out ignition and fuel injection.

5. Cover the spark plug hole with a shop towel etc., and
after the engine has been cranked, check that no foreign
material is adhering to the shop towel.
Caution
1.Keep away from the spark plug hole when crank-
ing.
2. If compression is measured with water, fuel,
etc., that has come from cracks inside the
these materials will become heated and gush
out from the spark plug hole, which is dangerous.
6.Set compression gauge to one of the spark plug hole s.
7. Crank the engine with the throttle valve fully open and
measure the compression pressure.
Standard (at engine speed of
1,350 (192 psi)
Limit (at engine speed of
Min. 1,020 (145 psi)
8.Measure the compression pressure for all the cylind ers,
and check that the pressure differences of the cyli nders
are below the limit.
Limit: Max. 100 (14 psi)
9. there is a cylinder with compression or a compression
difference that is outside the limit, pour a small amount
of engine oil through the spark plug hole, and repe at
the operations in steps 7 and 8.
(1) If the compression increases after oil is added , the
cause of the malfunction is a worn or damaged pisto n
ring and/or cylinder inner surface.
(2) If the compression does not rise after oil is added,
the cause is a burnt or defective valve seat, or pr essure
is leaking from the gasket.
10. Connect the crankshaft position sensor connecto r.
11. Install the spark plugs and spark plug cables.
12. Use the scan tool to erase the diagnostic troub le codes,
or disconnect the negative battery cable than
10 seconds and reconnect it.
NOTE
This will erase the diagnostic trouble code resulting from
the crankshaft position sensor connector
MANIFOLD VACUUM CHECK

Caution
1. Always apply the brakes when shifting the select or lever to ran&, or vehicle will
forward.
2. Driving tests always need another personnel.
NOTE
In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km (300 mile) or less], the volume air sensor output
is sometimes 10 higher than the standard frequency.
The injector drive time represents the time when the cranking speed is at 250 or below when the
supply voltage is 11 V.
In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km (300 mile) or less], the injector drive time is sometimes
longer than the standard time.
Fuel is injected into all cylinders simultaneously.
In a new vehicle [driven approximately km (300 mile) or less], the step of the stepper mo tor is sometimes
30 steps greater than the standard value.
If the throttle position sensor voltage rises 100 from the voltage when the engine is at idle and th e
closed throttle position switch turns from on to of f at this time, the sensors are normal. If the throttle position
sensor voltage rises 100
from the voltage when the engine is at idle, the t hrottle valve opens, and the
closed throttle position switch turns from on to of f at this, time, the sensors should be adjusted.

3. Start the engine and run at idle.
4. Select the item No. 30 of the SCAN TOOL (MUT-II)

This holds the motor at the basic step to adjust the
basic idle speed.
5. Check the idle speed. Standard value: 750

NOTE
1. The engine speed may be 20 to 100 lower
than indicated above for a new vehicle [driven appr oxi-
mately 500 km (300 mile) or less], but no adjustment
is necessary.
2.If the engine stalls or the is low even though
the vehicle has been driven approximately 500 km (300 mile) or more, it is probable that deposits ar e
