4. DISCONNECT FUEL PUMP AND SENDER GAUGE
CONNECTOR
5. INSPECT FUEL PUMP RESISTANCE
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals
2 and 6.
Resistance: 0.2 - 3.0 W at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the fuel pump.
6. INSPECT FUEL PUMP OPERATION
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 2 of
the connector, and the negative (-) lead to terminal 6. Check
that the fuel pump operates.
NOTICE:

These tests must be performed quickly (within 10 se-
conds) to prevent the coil from burning out.

Keep the fuel pump as far away from the battery as
possible.

Always perform switching at the battery side.
If operation is not as specified, replace the fuel pump or lead
wire.

COOLANT
INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RADIATOR RESERVOIR
The engine coolant level should be between the ºLOWº and ºFULLº lines.
If low, check for leaks and add engine coolant up to the ºFULLº line, ºwhen the engine is cold.º
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
(a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator
are still hot, as fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap or radiator filler
hole, and the coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the coolant.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap.

REASSEMBLY
1. A/T:
INSTALL OIL COOLER TO LOWER TANK
(a) Clean the O-ring contact surface of the lower tank and oil
cooler.
(b) Install new O rings to the oil cooler.
(c) Install the oil cooler with the O-rings to the lower tank.
(d) Install the plate washers, spring washers and nuts.
Torque:
Nut A: 15 N´m (150 kgf´cm, 11 ft´lbf)
Nut B and C: 8.5 N´m (85 kgf´cm, 75 in.´lbf)
2. INSPECT LOCK PLATE
Inspect the lock plate for damage.
HINT:

If the sides of the lock plate groove are deformed, reas-
sembly of the tank will be impossible.

Therefore, first correct any deformation with pliers or like
object. Water leakage will result if the bottom of the lock
plate groove is damaged or dented or dented. There fore,
repair or replace if necessary.
3. INSTALL NEW O-RINGS AND TANKS
(a) After checking that there are no foreign objects in the lock
plate groove, install a new O-ring without twisting it.
HINT:
When cleaning the lock plate groove, lightly rub it with sand pa-
per without scratching it.
(b) Install the tank without damaging the O-ring.
(c) Tap the lock plate with a soft-faced hammer so that there
is no gap between it and the tank.

OIL AND FILTER
INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY
Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or thin-
ning.
If the oil quality is visibly poor, replace it.
Oil grade:
API grade or SH Energy-Conserving II or ILSAC multi-
grade engine oil. Recommended viscosity is as
shown in the illustration, with SAE 5W-30 being the
prefferred engine oil.
2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The oil level should be between the ºLº and ºFº marks on the dip-
stick.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the ºFº mark.
3. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH AND INSTALL OIL
PRESSURE GAUGE
(a) Remove the bolt and air intake connector.
(b) M/T only
Remove the 3 bolts, release cylinder and tube from the
transaxle.
(c) Remove the oil pressure switch.
(d) Install the oil pressure gauge.
4. WARM UP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
5. CHECK OIL PRESSURE
Oil pressure:
At idle speed
29 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2, 4.3 psi) or more
At 3,000 rpm
245 - 490 kPa (2.5 - 5.0 kgf/cm
2, 36 - 71 psi)
6. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AND REINSTALL
OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
(a) Remove the oil pressure gauge.
(b) Apply adhesive to 2 or 3 threads of the oil pressure switch.

CAUTION:

Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addi-
tion, used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer. Ade-
quate means of skin protection and washing facilities
should be provided.

Care should be taken, therefore, when changing en-
gine oil, to minimize the frequency and length of time
your skin is exposed to used engine oil. Protective
clothing and gloves, that cannot be penetrated by oil,
should be worn. Wash your skin throughly with soap
and water, or use waterless hand cleaner, to remove
any used engine oil. Do not use gasoline, thinners, or
solvents.

In order to preserve the environment, used oil must
be disposed of only at designated disposal sites.
1. DRAIN ENGINE OIL
(a) Remove the oil filler cap.
(b) Remove the oil drain plug and drain the oil into a contain-
er.
2. REPLACE OIL FILTER
(a) Using SST, remove the oil filter.
SST 09228-06501
(b) Clean the filter contact surface on the filter mounting.
(c) Lubricate the filter rubber gasket with engine oil.
(d) Tighten filter until the gasket contacts seat of the filter
mounting. Then using SST, give it an additional 3/4 turn
to seat the filter.

3. FILL WITH ENGINE OIL
(a) Clean and install the oil drain plug with a new gasket.
Torque: 25 N´m (250 kgf´cm, 18 ft´lbf)
(b) Fill the engine with new oil.
