INSPECTION OF HIGH±TENSION CORDS
1. REMOVE HIGH±TENSION CORDS (See page IG±11)
2. INSPECT HIGH±TENSION CORDS (b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance.
Maximum resistance: 25 k
per cord
If the resistance is greater than maximum, replace the cord.
3. REINSTALL HIGH±TENSION CORDS (See page IG±16)
INSPECTION OF DRIVE BELT
INSPECT DRIVE BELT
HINT: A belt tensioner is used, so checking the belt tension
is not necessary.
(a) Visually check the drive belt for excessive wear, frayedcords etc.
If necessary, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
w Cracks on rib side of a drive belt are considered
acceptable. If the drive belt has chunks missing from the
ribs, it should be replaced.
w The drive belt tension can be released by turning the
belt tensioner counterclockwise. The pulley bolt for the
belt tensioner has a left±hand thread.
(b) Check the belt tensioner operation. w Check that the belt tensioner moves downward
when the drive belt is pressed down at the points
indicated in the illustration with approx. 98 N (10
kgf, 22.0 lbf) of force.
w Check the alignment of the belt tensioner pulley to
make sure the drive belt has not slipped off the
pulley.
If necessary, replace the belt tensioner. w Check that the arrow mark on the belt tensioner
falls within area A of the scale.
If it is outside area A, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
w When a new belt is installed, it should lie within area B.
If not, the drive belt is not correct.
w After installing a belt, check that it fits properly in the
ribbed grooves.
w Check by hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped
out of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.

REMOVAL OF TIMING BELT
(See Components on pages EM±33 and 34)
1. REMOVE BATTERY CAUTION: Work must be started after approx. 20 se-
conds or longer from the time the ignition switch is
turned to the ºLOCKº position and the negative (±) termi-
nal cable is disconnected from the battery.

er counterclockwise, and remove the drive belt.
HINT: The pulley bolt for the belt tensioner has a left±hand
thread.

(b) Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timingpulleys and timing belt rear plates aligned.
If not, turn the crankshaft one revolution (360 5).
27. REMOVE TIMING BELT TENSIONER HINT:
w(Re±using timing belt)
If the installation marks have disappeared, before re-
moving the timing belt, place new installation marks on
the timing belt to match the timing marks of the camshaft
timing pulleys, and place a new installation mark on the
timing belt to match the end of the hydraulic pump.
w (When replacing timing belt tensioner only)
To avoid meshing of the timing pulley and timing belt, se-
cure one of them with string. And place matchmarks on
the timing belt and RH camshaft timing pulley.
Alternately loosen the two bolts, and remove them, the ten-
sioner and dust boot.
28. DISCONNECT TIMING BELT FROM CAMSHAFT TIMING PULLEYS
(a) Using SST, loosen the tension between the LH and RHcamshaft timing pulleys by slightly turning the LH
camshaft timing pulley clockwise.
