ENGINE MECHANICAL (6VE1 3.5L)
Engine Diagnosis
First of all the engine diagnose to check the fuel quantity,
the engine level and the engine coolant level.
Hard Starting
1. Starting Motor Does Not Turn Over
Troubleshooting Procedure
Turn on headlights and starter switch.
Condition
Possible causeCorrection
Headlights go out or dim
considerably
Battery run down or under chargedRecharge or replace battery
considerablyTerminals poorly connectedClean battery posts and terminals
and connect properly
Starting motor coil circuit shortedOverhaul or replace
Starting motor defectiveOverhaul or replace
2. Ignition Trouble Ð Starting Motor Turns Over But Engine Does Not Start
Spark Test
Disconnect an ignition coil from any spark plug. Connect
the spark plug tester (For example J±26792), start the
engine, and check if a spark is generated in the spark plugtester. Before starting the engine, make sure that the
spark plug tester is properly grounded. To avoid electrical
shock, do not touch the part where insulation of the
ignition coil is broken while the engine is running.
Condition
Possible causeCorrection
Spark jumps across gapSpark plug defectiveClean, adjust spark gap or replace
Ignition timing incorrectRefer to Ignition System
Fuel not reaching fuel injector(s) or

STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM (6VE1 3.5L)
d. Re-connect harness connector to generator, run
engine at moderate speed, with electrical
accessories turned off.
e. Measure voltage across battery. If above 16.0V,
replace or repair generator.
f. Connect ammeter at generator output terminal.
Turn on accessories, load battery with carbon pile
to obtain maximum amperes output.
Maintain voltage at 13.0V or above.
1. If within 15 amperes of rated output, generator is
OK.2. If not within 15 amperes of rated output, replace or
repair generator.
Generator
Removal
1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Move drive belt tensioner to loose side using wrench
then remove drive belt (1).
3. Disconnect the wire from terminal ªBº and disconnect
the connector (4).
4. Remove generator fixing bolt (3).
5. Remove generator assembly (2).
060RW002
Inspection
1. Disconnect the wiring connector from generator.
2. With the engine stopped, turn starter switch to ªonº
and connect a voltmeter between connector terminal
L (1) and ground or between terminal S (2) and
ground.
066RX002If there is no voltage present, then perform
appropriate repair.
3. Reconnect the wiring connector to the generator, run
the engine at must indicate idle speed, and turn off all
electrical devices other than engine.
4. Measure battery voltage. If it exceeds 16V, repair or
replace the generator.
5. Connect an ammeter to output terminal of generator,
and measure output current under load by turning on
the other electrical devices (eg., headlights). At this
time the amperes must not be less than 15A and the
voltage must not be less than 13V.

8H±14SECURITY AND LOCKS
Anti-Theft System
General Description
The circuit consists of the starter switch, anti±theft &
keyless entry controller, anti±theft horn, front door and
tailgate key switch (detect and tamper) switch, door lock
actuator for each door, engine hood switch, clutch start
switch (M/T), ANTI±THEFT indicator light and mode
switch (A/T).
The system operates as follows: After locking the starter
switch and removing the starter key (this sets the alarm),
if the door is unlocked in any way other than with the
proper key, the headlights will start flashing, the horn
sounds, and the starter circuit is disabled. (However, the
engine hood and all the doors must be locked and closed.)
Once the system has been placed in the warning or alarm
condition, it can be released only when the starter switch
is shifted from ªOFFº to ªACCº by the starter key, or when
the lock of the front door or the tailgate is released (to
activate the detect switch) by the starter key.
