If equipped, the EMR light (some models may use a reminder
flag) reminds vehicle operator that an emission system maintenance is
required. This indicator is activated after a predetermined
time/mileage.
When performing a smog check inspection, ensure EMR indicator
is not activated. On models using an EMR light, light should glow when
ignition switch is turned to ON position and should turn off when
engine is running.
If an EMR flag is present or an EMR light stays on with
engine running, fail vehicle and service or replace applicable
emission-related components. To reset an EMR indicator, refer to
appropriate MAINTENANCE REMINDER LIGHTS in the MAINTENANCE section.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is used to alert
vehicle operator that the computerized engine control system has
detected a malfunction (when it stays on all the time with engine
running). On some models, the MIL may also be used to display trouble
codes.
As a bulb and system check, malfunction indicator light will
glow when ignition switch is turned to ON position and engine is not
running. When engine is started, light should go out.

ELECTRIC COOLING FAN - SYSTEM TESTING
MIRAGE 1.5L
1) With A/C on LOW position, ignition on and engine coolant
temperature greater than 185 F (85 C), thermosensor completes path to
ground, closing radiator fan motor relay contacts and providing
current to radiator fan motor. See Fig. 1.
2) With A/C on HIGH position and ignition on, power supply
from automatic compressor control unit causes condenser fan motor
relay and condenser fan motor control relay to turn on, causing
condenser fan and radiator cooling fan to operate.

MIRAGE 1.6L
1) With A/C on LOW position, ignition on and engine coolant
temperature greater than 185 F (85 C), thermosensor completes path to
ground, closing radiator fan motor relay contacts and providing
current to radiator fan motor. See Fig. 2.
2) With A/C on HIGH position and ignition on, power supply
from auto compressor control unit causes condenser fan motor relay to
turn on, causing condenser fan and radiator cooling fan to operate at
a low speed by usage of a resistor.
3) If pressure switch is activated by excessive pressure or
if thermosensor is on when engine coolant temperature exceeds 185
F
(85 C), condenser fan motor control relay is activated, causing
condenser fan and radiator cooling fan to operate at a high speed.
ECLIPSE & 3000GT
With ignition on and engine coolant temperature greater than
185 F (85 C), thermosensor completes path to ground, closing radiator
fan motor relay contacts and providing current to radiator fan. See
Figs. 7 -11.

NOTE: Always refer to appropriate engine overhaul article in the
ENGINES section for complete overhaul procedures and
specifications for the vehicle being repaired.
TIMING CHAINS
Timing chains will stretch during operation. Limits are
placed upon amount of stretch before replacement is required. Timing
chain stretch will alter ignition timing and valve timing.
To check timing chain stretch, rotate crankshaft to eliminate
slack from one side of timing chain. Mark reference point on cylinder
block. Rotate crankshaft in opposite direction to eliminate slack from
remaining side of timing chain. Force other side of chain outward
and measure distance between reference point and timing chain. See
Fig. 23 . Replace timing chain and gears if not within specification.

This Graphic For General Information Only
Timing chains must be installed so that timing marks on
camshaft gear and crankshaft gear are aligned according to

Engine pre-oiling can be done using pressure oiler (if
available). Connect pressure oiler to cylinder block oil passage
such as oil pressure sending unit. Operate pressure oiler long enough
to ensure correct amount of oil has filled crankcase. Check oil level
while pre-oiling.
If pressure oiler is not available, disconnect ignition
system. Remove oil pressure sending unit and replace with oil pressure
test gauge. Using starter motor, rotate engine starter until gauge
shows normal oil pressure for several seconds. DO NOT crank engine
for more than 30 seconds to avoid starter motor damage.
Ensure oil pressure has reached the most distant point from
the oil pump. Reinstall oil pressure sending unit. Reconnect ignition
system.
INITIAL START-UP
Start the engine and operate engine at low speed while
checking for coolant, fuel and oil leaks. Stop engine. Recheck coolant
and oil level. Adjust if necessary.
CAMSHAFT
Break-in procedure is required when a new or reground
camshaft has been installed. Operate and maintain engine speed between
1500-2500 RPM for approximately 30 minutes. Procedure may vary due to
manufacturers recommendations.
PISTON RINGS
Piston rings require a break-in procedure to ensure seating
of rings to cylinder walls. Serious damage may occur to rings if
correct procedures are not followed.
Extremely high piston ring temperatures are produced obtained
during break-in process. If rings are exposed to excessively high RPM
or high cylinder pressures, ring damage can occur. Follow piston ring
manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure.
FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Check or adjust ignition timing and dwell (if applicable).
Adjust valves (if necessary). Adjust carburetion or injection idle
speed and mixture. Retighten cylinder heads (if required). If
cylinder head or block is aluminum, retighten bolts when engine is
cold. Follow the engine manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure
and maintenance schedule for new engines.
NOTE: Some manufacturer's require that head bolts be retightened
after specified amount of operation. This must be done to
prevent head gasket failure.
