turn the sprocket once, realign the timing mark and check
that the screwdriver goes in 60 mm (2.36 in.) or mo re.
Do not take out the screwdriver until the timing ‘b elt is
installed.
(3) Install the timing belt so as not to be

Caution
If the timing belt is to install that
the mark indicates the clockwise direction.
(4) Set the tension pulley so that the pin

bottom, press the tension pulley lightly against th e timing
belt.

REMOVAL.
Before removing rocker arms and shafts assembly, install
the special tool as illustrated to prevent adjuster from dropping.
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
LASH ADJUSTER INSTALLATION
(1) Immerse the’ lash adjuster in clean diesel fuel .
(2) Using a special tool, move the plunger up and d own

to spill the diesel fuel. Then use the special tool to prevent
adjuster from falling while installing it.
ARMS AND
ROCKERARM SHAFT
(1) Temporarily tighten the rocker the bolt so that
all rocker arms on the inlet valve side do not push the
valves.
(2) Fit the rocker shaft spring from the above and position
it so that it is right angles to the plug
NOTE
Install the rocker shaft spring before installing t he exhaust
side rocker arms and ‘rocker arm shaft.
Remove the special tool for securing the lash adjus ter.
Make sure that the notch in the rocker arm shaft is in
the direction as illustrated.

ROCKER ARM
(1) Check the roller surface. If any dents, damage or seizure
is evident, replace the rocker arm.
(2) Check rotation of the roller. If it does not rotate smoothly
or if looseness is evident, replace the rocker arm.
(3) Check the inside diameter. If damage or seizure is evident,
replace the rocker arm.

Caution
1. The lash adjuster is a precision part. Keep it f ree

2. Do not disassemble lash adjuster.
3. When cleaning lash adjuster, use clean diesel fu el

(3) Remove the special tool and press the plunger. If the
plunger is hard to be pushed in, the lash adjuster is normal.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
The
Control Module (PCM) monitors
many different circuits in the fuel injection syste m.
If the PCM senses a problem with a monitored
circuit often enough to indicate an actual problem,
it stores a diagnostic trouble code in the
memory.
After the PCM first detects a malfunction, a
diagnostic trouble code is recorded when the engine
i s r e s t a r t e d a n d t h e s a m e m a l f u n c t i o n i s
re-defected. However, for items marked with a
a diagnostic trouble code is recorded the
first detection of the malfunction.
After that, if the PCM does not re-detect the
malfunction for 40 drives* (51 engine start for
non-emission related faults), the diagnostic troubl e
code will be erased from the PCM memory.
NOTE
A drive indicates from engine start to stop and
monitors the power train component.
However, for misfiring or a fuel system rich/lean,
the diagnostic trouble codes will be erased under
the following conditions.
lWhen driving conditions (engine speed, engine
coolant temperature, etc.) are similar, to those
when the malfunction was first recorded.
l When the PCM does not re-detect the
malfunction for 80 drives*.
Technicians can display stored diagnostic trouble
codes by two different methods.
ENGINE (NON-TURBO)> Troubleshooting
The first is to cycle the ignition switch

Then count
the number of times the malfunction indicator lamp
(check engine lamp) on the instrument panel flashes

diagnostic trouble code. There is a slight pause
between the flashes representing the first and
second digits of the code. Longer pauses separate
individual trouble codes. The second method of
reading diagnostic trouble codes uses

(diagnostic) connector in the vehicle.
