Warning
•Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep
sparks and flames away from fuel.
•Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injures or death and
damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the “Fuel Line
Safety Procedure”. (See F2–45 Fuel Line Safety Procedures.)
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Drain the engine coolant, engine oil, and transaxle oil.
3. Remove the radiator.
4. Remove the engine cover. (See B2–9 TIMING BELT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
5. Remove the air cleaner and air hose. (See F2–36 INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
6. Disconnect the fuel hose. (See F2–45 BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE.)
7. Remove the front pipe. (See F2–57 EXHAUST SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
8. Remove the battery and tray. (See G–5 BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
9. Remove the shift cable, select cable and clutch release cylinder related to the transaxle. (See J2–7 MANUAL
TRANSAXLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
10. Remove the clutch release cylinder.
11. Remove the vacuum hose and the heater hose.
12. Disconnect the P/S oil pump pressure pipe and P/S oil pump relief hose from the P/S oil pump side. (See N–16
POWER STEERING OIL PUMP (MZR-CD (RF Turbo)) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
Note
•The P/S oil pump will not be removed from the engine.
13. Remove the A/C compressor with the pipe still connected. Position the A/C compressor so that it is out of the
way. Use wire or rope to secure it. (See U–11 A/C COMPRESSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
14. Remove the joint shaft.
15. Remove the front drive shaft (LH) from the transaxle.
16. Remove in the order indicated in the table.
17. Install in the reverse order of removal.
18. Fill the engine coolant, engine oil, and transaxle oil.
19. Bleed the air from the fuel line. (See F2–45 AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE.)
20. Start the engine and:
•Inspect the pulleys and the drive belt for runout and contact.
•Inspect the engine oil, engine coolant transaxle oil, P/S fluid, and fuel for leakage.
•Inspect the idle speed. (See F2–34 IDLE SPEED INSPECTION.)
21. Perform a road test.
22. Reinspect the engine oil, engine coolant, transaxle oil, and P/S fluid levels.

RADIATOR CAP INSPECTIONA6E361415201201MZR-CD (RF Turbo)
Warning
•Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is running, or when the engine and radiator are
hot. Scalding coolant and steam may shoot out and cause serious injury. It may also damage the
engine and cooling system.
•Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when removing the cap.
Wrap a thick cloth around it and slowly turn it counterclockwise to the first stop. Step back while
the pressure escapes.
•When you are sure all the pressure is gone, press down on the cap using the cloth, turn it, and
remove it.
1. Clean the radiator cap negative pressure valve and the sealed part.
2. Inspect the crack or turn over on the sealed part of the radiator cap.
•If not as specified, repace the radiator cap.
3. Fill the SST with the water or the engine coolant to the full level and attach the radiator cap to the SST.
4. Hold the radiator cap downward and apply pressure gradually. Verify that the pressure become held for 10 s
within the specification.
•If the pressure is not held stable within the specification, replace the radiator cap.

1. Inspect the coolant level.
2. Remove the radiator cap.
3. Clean the mounting surface of the rediator cap and the upper radiator hose.
4. Connect the SST to the reservoir filler port.
5. Apply specified pressure to the radiator.
Pressure
122 kPa { 1.24 kgf/cm

6. Verify that the pressure is held.
•If not, inspect the system for coolant leakage.
—If the coolant leaks from the upper hose
attachment part, replace the upper hose
and the clamp.
—If the coolant leaks from the main body of
the radiator (caulked part), replace the
radiator.

NO.14 POOR FUEL ECONOMYA6E398018881203
Diagnostic procedure
14 POOR FUEL ECONOMY
DESCRIPTIONFuel economy is unsatisfactory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE•Contaminated air cleaner element
•VIS malfunction (if equipped)
•Engine cooling system malfunction
•Improper ATF level (ATX)
•Weak spark
•Poor fuel quality
•Erratic or no signal from CMP sensor
•Clutch slippage (MTX)
•VTCS malfunction
•Improper variable valve timing control system operation (if equipped)
•Improper coolant level
•Inadequate fuel pressure
•Spark plug malfunction
•PCV valve malfunction
•Brake dragging
•Improper valve timing due to jumping out of timing belt
•Contaminated MAF sensor
•Improper engine compression
•Exhaust system clogging
•Improper electrically controlled 4WD system operation
Warning
The following troubleshooting flow chart contains fuel system diagnosis and repair
procedures. Read following warnings before performing fuel system services:
•Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always
keep sparks and flames away from fuel.
•Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or
death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete
“BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE” and “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE” described in this
manual.
Caution
•Disconnecting/connecting quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly cause
damage to fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean quick release connector
joint area before disconnecting/connecting, and make sure that it is free of foreign material.
STEP INSPECTION RESULTS ACTION
1 Inspect for following:
•Air cleaner element for contamination
•ATF level
•Fuel quality
•Coolant level
•Brake dragging
•Clutch slippage
Are all items okay?Yes Go to next step.
No Service as necessary.
Repeat Step 1.
2 Connect WDS or equivalent to DLC-2.
Retrieve any continuous memory, KOEO and
KOER DTCs.
Are there any DTCs displayed?YesDTC is displayed:
Go to appropriate DTC test.
NoNo DTC is displayed:
Go to next step.
3 Access ECT PID.
Drive vehicle while monitoring PID.
(See F1–33 PCM INSPECTION (4WD).)
Is PID within specification?Yes Go to next step.
No Inspect for coolant leakage, cooling fan and condenser
fan operations or thermostat operation.
