PRE-CHECK
1. SETTING OF THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM
Setting Conditions
(a) Close all the doors.
(b) Close the engine hood and luggage compartment door.
(c) Remove the ignition key from the ignition key cylinder.
Setting Operation
When any of the following operations (a), (b) or (c) is performed, the theft deterrent indicator light will light
up as described.
(1) Lock the left or right front door using the key
(All doors are locked by key-interlinked lock operation).
(2) Lock all the doors using the wireless door lock control system.
(3) With the rear doors locked and with one of the front doors locked, lock the other front door without
using the key (keyless door lock).
Elapsed time after operationIndicator light

After about 30 secondsBlinks *1
*1: 1 sec. or, 1 sec. off
HINT:
When the theft deterrent system is set, doors cannot be locked or unlocked with the door lock control switch
and the luggage compartment door cannot be unlocked with the luggage compartment door opener switch.
2. CANCELING OF THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM IN THE SET CONDITION
Check if the theft deterrent indicator light is blinking.
Canceling Operation
When any of the following operations (a), (b), (c) or (d) is performed, the theft deterrent system is canceled
and indicator light will go off.
Condition
(1) Unlock the left or right front door using the key.
(2) Unlock all the doors using the wireless door lock control system.
(3) Insert the ignition key in the ignition key cylinder and turn it to the ACC or ON position
(This is operative only when the theft deterrent system has never operated).
(4) Unlock the luggage compartment door with the key. *1
*1: The theft deterrent system is temporarily canceled only while the luggage compartment door is open.
Approximately 2 seconds after the luggage compartment door is closed, the theft deterrent system is reset.
3. CHECK OF THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM OPERATION
Check if the theft deterrent indicator light is blinking.
When any of the following operations (a) or (b) is performed, the system sounds the horns and theft deterrent
horn and flashes the headlights and taillights for about one minute to alert. At the same time, the system
disconnects the starter motor circuit and locks all doors (if all doors are not locked, the system repeats door
locking operation every 2 seconds during the one minute alert time).
(1) Open the engine hood using the engine hood opener lever.
(2) Unlock any of the front or rear doors without key operation.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
This troubleshooting is based on the premise that engine cranking occurs.
If the engine does not crank, proceed to the engine troubleshooting on DI-1.
1 Check voltage between terminal SRLY of theft deterrent ECU connector and
body ground.
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect the theft deterrent ECU connector.
(b) Transmission in neutral position.
CHECK:
Measure voltage between terminal SRLY of theft deterrent ECU
connector and body ground, when ignition switch is turned to
ST position.
OK:
Voltage: 10 - 14V
OK Check and repair theft deterrent ECU.
NG
Check and repair harness and connector between starter and theft deterrent ECU

CO/HC
INSPECTION
HINT:
This check is used only to determine whether or not the idle CO/
HC complies with regulations.
1. INITIAL CONDITIONS
(a) Engine coolant at normal operating temperature.
(b) Air cleaner installed.
(c) All pipes and hoses of air induction system connected.
(d) All accessories switched OFF.
(e) All vacuum lines properly connected.
HINT:
All vacuum hoses for EGR systems, etc. should be properly
connected.
(f) SFI system wiring connectors fully plugged.
(g) Ignition timing set correctly.
(h) Transmission in neutral position.
(i) CO/HC meter calibrated by hand.
2. START ENGINE
3. RACE ENGINE AT 2,500 RPM FOR APPROX. 180 SE-
CONDS
4. INSERT CO/HC METER TESTING PROBE AT LEAST
40 cm (1.3 ft) INTO TAILPIPE DURING IDLING
5. IMMEDIATELY CHECK CO/HC CONCENTRATION AT
IDLE AND/OR 2,500 RPM
HINT:
When doing the 2 mode (2,500 rpm and idle) test, follow the
measurement order prescribed by the applicable local regula-
tions.

troubleshoot according to the table below. Check and correct
the cause if necessary.

COMPRESSION
INSPECTION
HINT:
If there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel
economy, measure the compression pressure.
1. WARM UP AND STOP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS (See page IG-1)
3. CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE
(a) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
(b) Fully open the throttle.
(c) While cranking the engine, measure the compression
pressure.
HINT:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine revolutions
of 250 rpm or more.
(d) Repeat steps (a) through (c) for each cylinder.
NOTICE:
This measurement must be done in as short a time as pos-
sible.
Compression pressure:
1,275 kPa (13.0 kgf/cm
2, 185 psi) or more
Minimum pressure:
980 kPa (10.0 kgf/cm
2, 142 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi) or less
(e) If the cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low,
pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through
the spark plug hole and repeat steps (a) through (c) for
cylinders with low compression.

If adding oil helps the compression, chances are
that the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are worn
or damage.

If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or
seating is improper, or there may be leakage past
the gasket.
4. REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS
