VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
1. Install 2.80 mm valve adjuster (shim) first when
reassembling the engine.
Thickness mark faces down.
2. Measure the valve clearance after installing cam
carrier assy with camshafts.
3. Change the adjuster using a special tool when the
clearance is out of tolerance.
Valve Clearance Adjusting Tool: 5-8840-2590-0
VALVE CLEARANCE (When cold condition)
Inlet 0.15 ± 0.05 mm
Exh 0.25 ± 0.05 mm
COMPRESSION PRESSURE
MEASUREMENT
1. Start the engine and allow it to idle until the coolant
temperature reaches 70 – 80°C (158 – 176°F).
2. Remove the following parts.
Glow plugs
Fuel cut solenoid connector
QOS (Quick-On Start System) fuse in the fuse
box.
3. Set the adapter and compression gauge to the No.
1 cylinder glow plug hole.
Compression Gauge
(with Adapter): 5-8840-2008-0
4. Turn the engine over with the starter motor and take
the compression gauge reading.
Compression Pressure at 200 rpm
Standard: 3038 kPa (31 kg/cm
2/441 psi)
Limit: 2157 kPa (22 kg/cm
2/313 psi)
5. Repeat the procedure (Steps 3 and 4) for the
remaining cylinders.
QUICK-ON START 4 SYSTEM
Quick-On Start System Inspection Procedure
1. Disconnect the ECT-sensor connection around the
thermostat outlet pipe.
2. Turn the starter switch to the “ON” position.
If the Quick-On Start 4 System is operating
properly, the glow relay will make a clicking sound
within seven seconds after the starter switch is
turned on.
3. Measure the glow plug terminal voltage with a
circuit tester immediately after turning the starter
switch to the “ON” position.
Glow Plug Terminal Voltage: 8 – 9V
NOTE: Electrical power to the quick-on start system will
be cut after the starter has remained in the “ON”
position for twenty seconds.
Turn the starter switch to the “OFF” position and back
to the “ON” position.
This will reset the Quick-On Start 4 System.

Valve Seat Insert Installation
1. Carefully place the attachment (1) (having a smaller
outside diameter than the valve seat insert) on the
valve seat insert (2).
Legend
(1) Attachment
(2) Valve Seat Insert
(3) Bench Press
NOTE: The smooth side of the attachment must contact
the valve seat insert.
2. Use a bench press (3) to gradually apply pressure
to the attachment and press the valve seat insert
into place.
Note: Do not apply an excessive amount of pressure
with the bench press. Damage to the valve seat insert
will result.
Valve Seat Insert Correction
1. Remove the carbon from the valve seat insert
surface.
2. Use a valve cutter (15°, 45° and 75° blades) to
minimize scratches and other rough areas. This will
bring the contact width back to the standard value.
Remove only the scratches and rough areas. Do
not cut away too much. Take care not to cut away
unblemished areas of the valve seat surface.
Valve Seat Angle: 45°NOTE: Use an adjustable valve cutter pilot.
Do not allow the valve cutter pilot to wobble inside the
valve guide.
3. Apply abrasive compound to the valve seat insert
surface.
4. Insert the valve into the valve guide.
5. Turn the valve while tapping it to fit the valve seat
insert.
6. Check that the valve contract width is correct.
7. Check that the valve seat insert surface is in
contact with the entire circumference of the valve.

2. Measure the inside diameter of the connecting rod
small end. If the clearance between the small end
and pin does not conform to the specified value, the
connecting rod or bushing and pin must be
replaced.
Standard: 0.008 – 0.020 mm (0.0003 – 0.0008 in )
Limit: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
3. Insert the piston pin into the piston and rotate it. If
the pin rotates smoothly with no backlash, the
clearance is normal. If there is backlash or
roughness, measure the clearance. If the clearance
exceeds the specified limit, the piston and the
piston pin must be replaced.
Standard: 0.005 – 0.018 mm (0.0002 – 0.0007 in )
Limit: 0.04 mm (0.0016 in)
Bushing replacement
Removal: Use a suitable bar and bench press or
hammer
Installation: Align the bushing with a connecting rod
oil port. After installing a new bushing,
finish the bushing bore with a pin hole
grinder.Connecting rods
1. Check the connecting rod alignment with a
connecting rod aligner.
If either the bend or the twist exceeds the specified
limit, the connecting rod must be replaced.
Bend per 100 mm (3.937 in)
Standard: 0.08 mm (0.0031 in) or less
Limit: 0.20 mm (0.0079 in)
Twist per 100 mm (3.937 in)
Standard: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or less
Limit: 0.15 mm (0.0059 in)
2. Measure the connecting rod thrust clearance.
Use a feeler gauge to measure the thrust clearance
at the big end of the connecting rod.
If the clearance exceeds the specified limit, the
connecting rod must be replaced.
Standard: 0.230 mm (0.0091 in)
Limit: 0.350 mm (0.0138 in)

Engine Control Module ECM
Diagnosis
To read and clear diagnostic trouble codes, use a Tech 2.
IMPORTANT:Use of a Tech 2 is recommended to clear
diagnostic trouble codes from the ECM memory.
Diagnostic trouble codes can also be cleared by turning
the ignition “OFF” and disconnecting the battery power
from the ECM for 30 seconds. Turning off the ignition and
disconnecting the battery power from the ECM will cause
all diagnostic information in the ECM memory to be
cleared. Therefore, all the diagnostic tests will have to be
re-run.
Since the ECM can have a failure which may affect only
one circuit, following the diagnostic procedures in this
section will determine which circuit has a problem and
where it is.
If a diagnostic chart indicates that the ECM connections
or the ECM is the cause of a problem, and the ECM is
replaced, but this does not correct the problem, one of the
following may be the reason:
There is a problem with the ECM terminal
connections. The terminals may have to be removed
from the connector in order to check them properly.
The problem is intermittent. This means that the
problem is not present at the time the system is being
checked. In this case, refer to the
Symptoms portion
of the manual and make a careful physical inspection
of all components and wiring associated with the
affected system.
There is a shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness.
Solenoids and relays are turned “ON” and “OFF” by
the ECM using internal electronic switches called
drivers. A shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness will
not damage the ECM but will cause the solenoid or
relay to be inoperative.
Multiple ECM Information Sensor
DTCS Set
Circuit Description
The Engine Control Module ECM monitors various
sensors to determine the engine operating conditions.
The ECM controls fuel delivery, spark advance,
transmission operation, and emission control device
operation based on the sensor inputs.
The ECM provides a sensor ground to all of the sensors.
The ECM applies 5 volts through a pull-up resistor, and
determines the status of the following sensors by
monitoring the voltage present between the 5-volt supply
and the resistor:
The fuel temperature (FT) sensor
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
The Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
The ECM provides the following sensors with a 5-volt
reference and a sensor ground signal:
The Intake throttle position sensor
The manifold absolute pressure sensor
The rail pressure sensor
The accelerator position sensor
The oil temperature sensor
The camshaft position sensor
The crankshaft position sensor
The EGR pressure sensor
The ECM monitors the signals from these sensors in
order to determine their operating status.
Diagnostic Aids
IMPORTANT:Be sure to inspect ECM and engine
grounds for being secure and clean.
A short to voltage in one of the sensor input circuits may
cause one or more of the following DTCs to be set:
P0337
P0342
P1193
P1404
P1405
P1488
IMPORTANT:If a sensor input circuit has been shorted
to voltage, ensure that the sensor is not damaged. A
damaged sensor will continue to indicate a high or low
voltage after the affected circuit has been repaired. If the
sensor has been damaged, replace it.
An open in the sensor ground circuit between the ECM
and the splice will cause one or more of the following
DTCs to be set:
P0337
P0342
P0117
A short to ground in the 5-volt reference A or B circuit will
cause one or more of the following DTCs to be set:
P0112
P0117
P0182
P0197
An open in the 5-volt reference circuit A, between the
ECM and the splice will cause one or more of the following
DTCs to be set:
P0107
P0405
P1194
P0122
An open in the 5-volt reference circuit B, between the
ECM and the splice will cause one or more of the following
DTCs to be set:
P1485
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at ECM. Inspect the harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, improper
mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damage
terminals, and a poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Damaged harness. Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness is not damaged, observe an
affected sensor’s displayed value on the Tech 2 with
the ignition “ON” and the engine “OFF” while you
move the connectors and the wiring harnesses
related to the following sensors:
ECT Sensor
