InspectionNJEM0088Before inspecting the engine, make sure the engine has
cooled down; wait approximately 30 minutes after the engine
has been stopped.
Visually inspect all belts for wear, damage, or cracks on con-
tacting surfaces and edge areas.
When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the
marked point.
When checking belt deflection immediately after
installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then,
after turning the crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to
the specified value to avoid variation in deflection
between pulleys.
Tighten idler pulley lock nut by hand and measure deflec-
tion without looseness.

If the belt deflection of the current belt is out of the “Limit
for re-tightening”, adjust to the “Adjusted value”.
When checking belt deflection immediately after
installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then,
after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust it to
the specified value to avoid variation in deflection
between pulleys.
Make sure the belts are fully fitted into the pulley grooves
during installation.
Handle with care to avoid smearing the belts with oil or
cooling water etc.
Do not twist or bend the belts with strong force.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ignition timing is controlled by the ECM to maintain the best air-
fuel ratio for every running condition of the engine. The ignition tim-
ing data is stored in the ECM. This data forms the map shown.
The ECM receives information such as the injection pulse width and
camshaft position sensor signal. Computing this information, ignition
signals are transmitted to the power transistor.
e.g., N: 1,800 rpm, Tp: 1.50 msec
A°BTDC
During the following conditions, the ignition timing is revised by the
ECM according to the other data stored in the ECM.
●At starting
●During warm-up
●At idle
●At low battery voltage
●During acceleration
The knock sensor retard system is designed only for emergencies. The basic ignition timing is programmed
within the anti-knocking zone, if recommended fuel is used under dry conditions. The retard system does not
operate under normal driving conditions. If engine knocking occurs, the knock sensor monitors the condition.
The signal is transmitted to the ECM. The ECM retards the ignition timing to eliminate the knocking condition.

INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART
*1: These signals are sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.
*2: ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This system improves engine operation when the air conditioner is used.
Under the following conditions, the air conditioner is turned off.
●When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.
●When cranking the engine.
●At high engine speeds.
●When the engine coolant temperature becomes excessively high.
●When operating power steering during low engine speed or low vehicle speed.
●When engine speed is excessively low.
●When refrigerant pressure is excessively low or high.
