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 EC section, ªFuel Pressure
Releaseº.
IDo not disconnect CONSULT-II until the end of this operation;
it will be used to check engine rpm and for error detection at
the end of this operation.
4. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
5. Remove the following parts.
IIntercooler
IThrottle body
IRocker cover
6. To prevent fuel from being injected during inspection, remove
fuel injection pump fuse [ENG CONT A/T (15A)] from fuse box
on the right side of engine compartment.
7. Remove glow plugs from all the cylinders.
IBefore removal, clean the surrounding area to prevent
entry of any foreign materials into the engine.
ICarefully remove glow plugs to prevent any damage or
breakage.
IHandle with care to avoid applying any shock to glow
plugs.
8. Install adapter (SST) to installation holes of glow plugs and
connect compression gauge for diesel engine.
:15-19N×m (1.5 - 2.0 kg-m, 11 - 14 ft-lb)
9. Connect battery negative terminal.
10. 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.
IAlways use a fully-charged battery to obtain specified
engine speed.
Unit: kPa (bar, kg/cm2, psi)/rpm
Standard MinimumDifference limit between
cylinders
2,942 (29.42, 30.0, 427)/
2002,452 (24.52, 25.0, 356)/
200294 (2.94, 3.0, 43)/200
IWhen engine rpm is out of the specified range, check the spe-
cific gravity of battery liquid. Measure again under corrected
conditions.
IIf engine rpm exceeds the limit, check valve clearance and
combustion chamber components (valves, valve seats, cylinder
head gaskets, piston rings, pistons, cylinder bores, cylinder
block upper and lower surfaces) and measure again.
11. Complete this operation as follows:
a. Turn the ignition switch to ªOFFº.
b. Disconnect battery negative terminal.
c. Replace glow plug oil seals and install glow plugs.
d. Install fuel injection pump fuse [ENG CONT A/T (15A)].
e. Connect battery negative terminal.
f. Using CONSULT-II make sure no error code is indicated for
items of self-diagnosis. Refer to EC section, ªTrouble Diagno-
sis Ð Indexº.

Trouble diagnosis of turbocharger
Preliminary check:
Check that the VNT control valve system has no malfunction. Refer
to EC section, ªECM Terminals and Reference Valueº in ªTROUBLE
DIAGNOSIS Ð GENERAL DESCRIPTIONº.
ICheck 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.)
IAsk the customer if he/she always runs the vehicle in idle
engine speed to cool the oil down after driving.
IReplace the turbocharger assembly when any malfunction is
found after unit inspections specified in the table below.
IIf no malfunction is found after the unit inspections, judge that
the turbocharger body has no failure. Check the other parts
again.

ICheck that the counter marks with cam gear, ªAAº and ªBBº, are
located on the front side of the engine.
Refer to EM-52.
CAUTION:
Since idler gear cannot be installed or removed with cylinder
head assembly mounted on the engine because of interfer-
ence with gear case, make sure that there are no reverse
installations or uninstalled parts.
3. Install cylinder head assembly.
1) Attach gasket onto the rear of gear case.
2) Install O-ring to the rear of gear case.
3) Align cylinder head assembly with dowel pin of cylinder block
and install.
CAUTION:

drop the O-ring.
IDo not damage gasket located at the front.
4. Position cylinder head assembly close to the rear of the gear
case.
1) Install cylinder head bolts to the front and rear of cylinder head
respectively, and tighten to the specified torque.

lb).
3) Loosen bolts completely until the torque becomes 0 N×m(0
kg-m, 0 in-lb).
CAUTION:
For procedure 3), loosen bolts in the reverse order as indi-
cated in the figure.
4) Tighten bolts to 40 to 44 N×m (4.0 to 4.5 kg-m, 29 to 32 ft-lb).
