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 ªTrouble Diagnosis Ð
INDEXº in EC section.
+Do not disconnect CONSULT-II until the end of this opera-
tion; it will be used to check engine rpm and for error detec-
tion 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 CONT3 (20A)] from fuse box
on the right 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.
7. Install adapter (SST) to installation holes of glow plugs and
connect compression gauge for diesel engine.
:18-21Nzm (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
3,100 (31.00, 31.6,
45.0)/2002,500 (25.00, 25.5, 363)/
200490 (4.90, 5.0, 71)/200
+When engine rpm is out of the specified range, check the
specific gravity of battery liquid. Measure again under cor-
rected conditions.
+If engine rpm exceeds the limit, check valve clearance and
combustion chamber components (valves, valve seats, cyl-
inder head gaskets, piston rings, pistons, cylinder bores, cyl-
inder 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.
d. Install fuel injection pump fuse [ENG CONT3 (20A)].
e. Connect battery negative terminal.
f. Using CONSULT-II make sure no error code is indicated for
items of self- diagnosis. Refer to ªTrouble Diagnosis Ð
INDEXº in EC section.
