NOTE
*1: The idle position switch normally turns off when the voltage of the throttle position sensor is 50 – 100 mV
higher than the voltage at the idle position. If the idle position switch turns back on after the throttle valve
is opened, the idle position switch and the throttle position sensor need to be adjusted.
*2: The injector drive time represents the time when the cranking speed is at 250 r/min or below when the power
supply voltage is 11 V.
*3: In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the injector drive time is sometimes 10% longer than
the standard time.
*4: In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the step of the stepper motor is sometimes 30 steps
greater than the standard value.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINT
ARADIATOR LOWER HOSE DISCONNECTION
After making mating marks on the radiator hose and the hose
clamp, disconnect the radiator hose.

ENGINE COOLING – Thermostat14-4
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
ATHERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
(1) Install the thermostat so that the jiggle valve is facing
straight up.
Caution
Make absolutely sure that no oil is adhering to the
rubber ring of the thermostat. If the rubber ring is
damaged, replace the thermostat.
(2) When assembling the thermostat, be careful not to fold
over or scratch the rubber ring.
BRADIATOR LOWER HOSE CONNECTION
(1) Insert each hose as far as the projection of the water
inlet fitting.
(2) Align the mating marks on the radiator hose and hose
clamp, and then connect the radiator hose.
INSPECTION
THERMOSTAT CHECK
(1) Immerse the thermostat in water, and heat the water while
stirring. Check the thermostat valve opening temperature.
Standard value: 76.5 ± 1.5
C
(2) Check that the amount of valve lift is at the standard
value when the water is at the full-opening temperature.
Standard value:
Full-opening temperature: 90
C
Amount of valve lift: 8.5 mm or more
NOTE
Measure the valve height when the thermostat is fully
closed, calculate the valve lift by subtracting this
measurement from the valve height when the thermostat
is fully open.
