REMOVAL
1. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT
2. REMOVE ENGINE COVER
Remove the 4 nuts and engine cover.
3. REMOVE INTAKE AIR RESONATOR
4. REMOVE THROTTLE BODY BRACKET AND
THROTTLE BODY
(a) Disconnect the accelerator cable.
(b) Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
(c) Disconnect the throttle control motor connector.
(d) Disconnect the accelerator pedal position sensor con-
nector.
(e) Disconnect the engine wire clamp from the clamp bracket
of throttle body.
(f) Remove the 2 bolts and nut holding the throttle body to
the intake air connector.
Torque: 21 N´m (210 kgf´cm, 15 ft´lbf)
(g) Remove the 4 nuts and throttle body bracket.
Torque: 21 N´m (210 kgf´cm, 15 ft´lbf)
(h) Slightly slide the throttle body away from the intake air
connector.
NOTICE:
When putting up the throttle body, do not hold the motor
part.
(i) Disconnect the 2 water bypass hoses from the throttle
body, and remove the throttle body.
HINT:
At the time of installation, please refer to the following
items.
Connect the water bypass hose with its discrimination
mark downward.
Install the with its craw direction for (1) forward and down±
side diagonal (engine side about 45°) for (2).

INSPECTION
1. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT
2. REMOVE ECT SENSOR
(a) Disconnect the ECT sensor connector.
(b) Using SST, remove the ECT sensor and gasket.
SST 09205±76030
3. INSPECT ECT SENSOR
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the ter-
minals.
Resistance: Refer to the graph
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the ECT sensor.
4. REINSTALL ECT SENSOR
(a) Install a new gasket to the ECT sensor.
(b) Using SST, install the ECT sensor.
SST 09205±76030
Torque: 19.6 N´m (200 kgf´cm, 14 ft´lbf)
(c) Connect the ECT sensor connector.
