6. Attach a compression tester to No. 1 cylinder.
7. Depress accelerator pedal fully to keep throttle valve wide
open.
8. Crank engine and record highest gauge indication.
9. Repeat the measurement on each cylinder.
+Always use a fully-charged battery to obtain specified
engine speed.
Compression pressure: kPa (kg/cm

Standard
1,275 (13.0, 185)/300
Minimum

10. If compression in one or more cylinders is low:
1) Pour a small amount of engine oil into cylinders through spark
plug holes.
2) Retest compression.
+If adding oil helps compression, piston rings may be worn
or damaged. If so, replace piston rings after checking pis-
ton.
+If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating
improperly. Inspect and repair valve and valve seat. Refer
to SDS, EM-150. If valve or valve seat is damaged
excessively, replace them.
+If compression stays low in two cylinders that are next to
each other:
i)The cylinder head gasket may be leaking, or
ii)Both cylinders may have valve component damage.
Inspect and repair as necessary.

1. Inspect belt for cracks, fraying, wear and oil. If necessary,
replace.
2. Inspect drive belt deflection or tension at a point on the belt
midway between pulleys.
3. Turn crankshaft two revolutions and re-check drive belt deflec-
tion or tension.
+Inspect drive belt deflection or tension when engine is
cold.
+Adjust if belt deflection exceeds the limit or if belt tension
is not within specifications.

+If the belt deflection of the current belt is out of the ªLimit
for re-tighteningº, adjust to the ªAdjusted valueº.
+When checking belt deflection immediately after
installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then,
after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust it to
the specified value to avoid variation in deflection
between pulleys.
+Make sure the belts are fully fitted into the pulley grooves
during installation.
+Handle with care to avoid smearing the belts with oil or
cooling water etc.
+Do not twist or bend the belts with strong force.

Trouble Diagnosis of Turbocharger=NLEM0104S0206Preliminary check:
+Check that the engine oil level is between MIN and MAX of the
dipstick. (When the engine oil amount is more than MAX, the
oil flows into the inlet duct through the blow-by gas passage,
and the turbocharger is misjudged failure.)
+Ask the customer if he/she always runs the vehicle in idle
engine speed to cool the oil down after driving.
+Replace the turbocharger assembly when any malfunction is
found after unit inspections specified in the table below.
+If no malfunction is found after the unit inspections, judge that
the turbocharger body has no failure. Check the other parts
again.
