1. Warm up engine.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Using CONSULT-II, make sure no error codes are indicated for
self-diagnosis items. Refer to EC-492, ªTrouble Diagnosis Ð
INDEXº.
+Do not disconnect CONSULT-II until the end of this operation;
it will be used to check engine rpm and for error detection at
the end of this operation.
4. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
5. To prevent fuel from being injected during inspection, remove
fuel injection pump fuse [ENG CONT2 (20A)] from fuse box on
the left side of engine compartment.
6. Remove glow plugs from all the cylinders.
+Before removal, clean the surrounding area to prevent
entry of any foreign materials into the engine.
+Carefully remove glow plugs to prevent any damage or
breakage.
+Handle with care to avoid applying any shock to glow
plugs.
SEM112G
7. Install adapter (SST) to installation holes of glow plugs and
connect compression gauge for diesel engine.
: 18 - 21 N´m (1.8 - 2.2 kg-m, 13 - 15 ft-lb)
8. Connect battery negative terminal.
9. Set the ignition switch to ªSTARTº and crank. When gauge
pointer stabilizes, read compression pressure and engine rpm.
Repeat the above steps for each cylinder.
+Always use a fully-charged battery to obtain specified
engine speed.
Unit: kPa (bar, kg/cm2, psi)/rpm

200490 (4.90, 5.0, 71)/200
+When engine rpm is out of the specified range, check the spe-
cific gravity of battery liquid. Measure again under corrected
conditions.
+If engine rpm exceeds the limit, check valve clearance and
combustion chamber components (valves, valve seats, cylin-
der head gaskets, piston rings, pistons, cylinder bores, cylin-
der block upper and lower surfaces) and measure again.
10. Complete this operation as follows:
a. Turn the ignition switch to ªOFFº.
b. Disconnect battery negative terminal.
c. Install glow plugs.

To avoid the danger of being scalded, never change the cool-
ant when the engine is hot.
Ð DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT ÐNJLC0079S011. Set air conditioning system as follows to prevent coolant from
remaining in the system.
a. Turn ignition switch ON and set temperature controller to maxi-
mum hot position.
b. Wait 10 seconds before turning ignition switch OFF.

2. Remove lower radiator hose, and remove radiator filler cap to
drain coolant.
3. Remove reservoir tank, drain coolant, then clean reservoir
tank.
+Be careful not to allow coolant to contact drive belts.
4. Cover the exhaust tube heat shield to prevent from splashing
coolant.
