Inspection Procedure
1. Position the NO.1 cylinder piston to ATDC 20°by
turning the crankshaft.
Notice:When the ATDC 20°mark on vibration damper
is aligned with timing gear case cover, the intake and ex-
haust cam of cylinderwill make the slope to the center
and will face up. In this way, the insert hole in NO.1 and
NO.4 camshaft bearing capwill match in line with the
flange hole for camshaft sprocket.
2. Check the timing as below procedure;
-- Check if the holding pin 111 589 03 15 00 can be
inserted into the NO.1 and NO.4 bearing cap hole.
-- At this condition, check if the ATDC 20°mark on
vibration damper aligns with the marker on the tim-
ing gear case.
Adjustment Procedure
1. Position the NO.1 cylinder to ATDC 20°.
2. Remove the chain tensioner.
3. Remove the exhaust camshaft sprocket.
4. Adjust the timing position with inserting the holding
pin 111 589 03 15 00 into the NO.1 and NO.4 cam-
shaft bearing cap hole and flange hole while rotating
the camshaft by using wrench.
5. Install the chain to the intake camshaft sprocket.
6. Install the chain to the exhaust camshaft sprocket
and tighten the bolt.

IGNITION SYSTEM
This ignition system does not use a conventional distributor andcoil. It uses a crankshaft position sensor input to the
Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM then determines Electronic Spark Timing (EST) and triggers the electronic
ignition system ignition coil.
This type of distributorless ignition system uses a‘‘waste spark” method of spark distribution. Each cylinder is paired
with the cylinder that is opposite it (2 -- 3 or 1 -- 4). The spark occurs simultaneously in the cylinder coming up on the
compression stroke and in the cylinder coming up on the exhaust stroke. The cylinder on the exhaust stroke requires
very little of the available energy to fire the spark plug. The remaining energy is available to the spark plug in the cylin-
der on the compression stroke.
These systems use the EST signal from the ECM to control the EST. The ECM uses the following information:
DEngine load (mass air flow sensor).
DEngine temperature.
DIntake air temperature.
DCrankshaft position.
DEngine speed (rpm).

KNOCK SENSOR (KS)
YAA1F320
The Knock Sensor (KS) detects abnormal knocking in the engine. The two KS are mounted in the engine block near
the cylinders. The sensors produce an output voltage which increases with the severity of the knock. This signal is sent
to the Engine Control Module (ECM) via a shielded cable. The ECM then adjusts the ignition timing to reduce the spark
knock.

Circuit Description
The KS system is used to detect engine detonation, allowing the ECM to retard the ignition control spark timing based
on the KS signal being received. The KS signal’s amplitude and frequency depend upon the amount of knock being
experienced. The ECM monitors the KS signal and can diagnose the KS sensor and circuitry.
Knock Sensor Resistance Inspection
1. Disconnect the coupling from ECM while the ignition switch is in “OFF” position.
2. Measure the resistance between the coupling terminal pin No. 118 and No. 117 using a multimeter.
Specified Value
>10 MΩ
Notice:Replace the KS if the measured values is out of the specified values. Check the connector and wire connec-
tion between ECM and the KS if the measured values are normal.
