11100210081
1.Before  inspection,  set  vehicles  in  the  following  co ndition:
lEngine coolant temperature: 
l Lights,  electric  cooling  fan  and  all  accessories:  O FF
lTransaxle:  Neutral  (P  range  on  vehicles  with 
2.After  turning  the  ignition  switch  to  OFF,  connect  t he  scan
tool  to  the  data  link  connector.
3.Start the engine and run it at 2,500  for 2 minutes.
4.  Set  the  CO,  HC  tester. 
5.  Check  the  CO  contents  and  the  HC  contents  at  idl e.
Standard  value:
CO  contents:  0.5%  or  less 
HC  contents:  100  ppm  or  less
6.  If  the  idle  speed  is  outside  the  standard  value,   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  h eated
oxygen  sensor  repeats  between   and
  ,000   at  idle.)
l  Fuel  pressure
  I n j e c t o r
lIgnition  coil,  spark  plug  cable,  spark  plug
lEGR  system  and  the  EGR  valve  leak
l  Evaporative  emission  control  system
  Compression  pressure
NOTE
Replace  the  three-way  catalyst  whenever  the  CO  and
HC  contents  do  not  remain  inside  the  standard  value .
(even  though  the  result  of  the  inspection  is  normal   on
all items.)
COMPRESSION  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  vehicle  with 
2.  Disconnect  the  spark  plug  cables. 
3.  Remove  all  spark  plugs.
4.Disconnect  the   relay  (ASD  relay)  connector  to  prevent
a spark.

condition:
lEngine coolant temperature:

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
