tight only.

9. Rotate the crankshaft until the triangular arrow indent on
the drive plate is visible thro ugh the access hole; confirm
that the timing flat on ea ch camshaft is uppermost.

10. Fit the crankshaft setting peg 303 - 531 to the crankshaft
position sensor location.
1. Fit the crankshaft setting peg 303 - 531.
Position the crankshaft so that the setting peg engages
fully into the timing slot.
2. Fit and tighten the bolt to secure the setting peg.
11. Remove the damper securing bolt from the crankshaft.
12. Lower the vehicle on the ramp.

13. Fit the camshaft locking tool 303 - 530 to the B-Bank
camshafts, aligning the shafts slightly as necessary.
14. Loosen the bolt which secures the sprocket to the exhaust
camshaft.

2. Fit the retaining / pivot bolt and tighten it to 12-16 Nm.

6. Refit the primary chain tensione r assembly. Refer to Operation
12.65.55 in this Section.
Use a wedge 303 - 533 (or two if required) between the
primary chain tensioner and te nsioner blade, to take up
the slack in the chain.

7. Tighten the exhaust camshaft sprocket securing bolt.
1. Fit the chain tensioner tool 303 - 532 to the sprocket holes.
Apply force to the tool in an anti-clockwise direction to
tension the chain on its drive side.
2. Whilst applying the opposing force to the sprocket and chain, tighten the sprock et securing bolt to 115 -
125 Nm.

8. Tighten the VVT unit securing bolt.
1. Whilst still applying the opposing force to the
sprocket and chain (using 303 - 532), check that the
wedges are still in place, tighten the VVT unit
securing bolt to 115 - 125 Nm.
Remove the chain tensioning tool and the wedge(s).
9. Remove the camshaft locking tool 303 - 530 .
10. Raise the vehicle on the ramp.
11. Remove the crankshaft setting tool 303 - 531.
12. Refit the crankshaft position sensor.
1. Fit the sensor to the fl ywheel housing and fit the
securing bolt. Tighten to 8-12 Nm.

is a t

emperature dependent resistor with a negative temperature coefficient (resistance changes inversely with
respect to temperature) and is constantly monitored by the ECM
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor

is a t

emperature dependent resistor which has a negative

Knock S
ensor (KS)
is a pi
ezo-electric device which sends a signal
to the ECM indicating engine detonation
Between 700 and 6800 rpm, the ECM will retard individual cylinder ignition timing when detonation occurs while allowing
the other cylinders to continue operating normally.
During acceleration, at critical load and speed conditions, the ECM retards ignition timing to prevent the onset of detonation.
H

are
positioned upstream of the catalytic convertor
is equipped with

a heating element wh
ich improves the response time of the sensors during engine warm-up

as the ability to generate a voltage signal proportional to the oxygen content of the exhaust gases leaving the
engine
pr
