Valve Seat Reconditioning
1. Inspect valve stem-to-guide clearance (see page 6-
32). lf the valve guides are worn, replace them (see
page 6-33) before cutting the valve seats.
2. Renew the valve seats in the cylinder head using a
valve seat cutter.
Carefully cut a 45'seat, removing only enough
material to ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
Bevel the upper and lower edges at the angles
shown in the illustration.
Check the width of the seat and adjust accordingly.

- 45'
, { 67.5'
5. Make one more very light pass with the 45" cutter
to remove any possible burrs caused by the other
cutters.
Valve Seat Width:
Standard (New): 1.25 1.55 mm {0.049 0.061 in.)
Service Limit: 2.00 mm (0.079 in.)
6. After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve
seating: Apply Prussian Blue compound (A) to the
valve face. Insert the valve in its original location in
the head, then lift it and snap it closed against the
seat several trmes.
1.The actual valve seating surface (B), as shown by
the blue compound, should be centered on the seat.
. lf it is too high (closer to the valve stem), you
must make a second cut with the 67.5' cutter to
move it down, then one more cut with the 45"
cutter to restore seat width.. lf it is too low (close to the valve edge), you must
make a second cut with the 35'cutter (intake
sidel or the 30" cutter (exhaust side) to move it up,
then make one more cut with the 45" cutter to
restore seat width.
NOTE: The final cut should always be made with
the 45'cutter.

EPS Indicator Circuit Troubleshooting
1.Turn the ignition switch ON (ll), start the engine,
and watch the EPS indicator.
Does the EPS indicator come on?
YES lf the EPS indicator comes on and goes off, it's
OK. lf the EPS indicator stays on or blinks. go to
step 12.
NO Go to step 2.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, then ON (ll) again,
and watch the brake system indicator,

Windshield Replacement (cont'd)
Scrape or wipe the excess adhesive off with a putty
knife or towel. To remove adhesive from a painted
surface or the windshield, wipe with a soft shop
towel dampensd with alcohol.
Let the adhesive dry for at least t hour, then spray
water over the windshield and check for leaks.
Mark Ieaking areas, and let the windshield dry, then
seal with sealant:
. Let the vehicle stand for at least 4 hours after
windshield installation. lf the vehicle has to be
used within the first 4 hours, it must be driven
slowly.. Keep the windshield dry for the first hour after
installation.
Reinstallthe cowl covers (see page 20-95).
NOTE:The cowl cover clips may not set properly if
the windshield adhesive is too wet.
Install the clips (A, B) on both side trim {C). lf the
clip (D) is damaged, replace the side trim and clips
as an assembly.

27. On both sides ofthe windshield, install the side
trim (Alto the clip (B), then set the bottom edge of
the side trim over the cowl cover (C), and align the
clips (D)with the retainers (E), and push on the clipportions of the trim until the trim is fully seated on
the windshield.
Reinstall all remaining removed parts. Installthe
rearview mirror after the adhesive has dried
thoroughly.
NOTE: Advise the customer not to do the following
things for 2 to 3 days:
. Slam the doors with allthe windows rolled up.. Twist the body excessively (such as when going
in and out of driveways at an angle or driving
over rough, uneven roads).

General Troubleshooting Information (cont'dl
Five-step Troubleshooting
'1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on allthe components in the problem circuit
to verify the customer complaint. Note the
symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing
until you have narrowed down the problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit.
Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power feed
through the circuit components to ground. lf
several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or
ground is a Iikely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of
the circuit operation, identify one or more possible
causes of the problem.
3. lsolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made
in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting.
Test for the most likely cause of failure first, Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified. make the
repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
proceoures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all
modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. lf the problem was a blown fuse, be sure
to test all of the circuits on the fuse. Make sure no
new problems turn up and the original problem
does not recur.
