+The captionsWARNINGandCAUTIONwarm you of steps that must be followed to prevent personal injury
and/or damage to some part of the vehicle.
WARNINGindicates the possibility of personal injury if instructions are not followed.
CAUTIONindicates the possibility of component damage if instructions are not followed.
BOLD TYPED STATEMENTSexceptWARNINGandCAUTIONgive you helpful information.
+ALPHABETICAL INDEXis provided at the end of this manual so that you can rapidly find the item and
page you are searching for.
+A QUICK REFERENCE INDEX, a black tab (e.g.
) is provided on the first page. You can quickly find
the first page of each section by matching it to the section's black tab.
+THE CONTENTSare listed on the first page of each section.
+THE TITLEis indicated on the upper portion of each page and shows the part or system.
+THE PAGE NUMBERof each section consists of two letters which designate the particular section and a
number (e.g. ªBR-5º).
+THE LARGE ILLUSTRATIONSare exploded views (See below.) and contain tightening torques, lubrica-
tion points, section number of thePARTS CATALOG(e.g. SEC. 440) and other information necessary to
perform repairs.
The illustrations should be used in reference to service matters only. When ordering parts, refer to the
appropriatePARTS CATALOG.

+THE SMALL ILLUSTRATIONSshow the important steps such as inspection, use of special tools, knacks
of work and hidden or tricky steps which are not shown in the previous large illustrations.
Assembly, inspection and adjustment procedures for the complicated units such as the automatic transaxle
or transmission, etc. are presented in a step-by-step format where necessary.
+TheUNITSgiven in this manual are primarily expressed as the SI UNIT (International System of Unit),
and alternatively expressed in the metric system and in the yard/pound system.
ªExampleº
Tightening torque:
59 - 78 N´m (6.0 - 8.0 kg-m, 43 - 58 ft-lb)
+TROUBLE DIAGNOSESare included in sections dealing with complicated components.
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
GI-10

NJEM0053
JEM111G
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
Standard MinimumDifference limit between
cylinders
3,138 (31.38, 32.0, 455)/
2002,452 (24.52, 25.0, 356)/
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.
