MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
NORMAL VEHICLE USE
The maintenance instructions contained in the mainte-
nance schedule are based on the assumption that the ve-
hicle will be used for the following reasons:
S To carry passengers and cargo within the limitation
indicated on the tire placard located on the edge of
the driver’s door.
S To be driven on reasonable road surfaces and with-
in legal operating limits.
EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE SERVICES
The services listed in the maintenance schedule are fur-
ther explained below. When the following maintenance
services are performed, make sure all the parts are re-
placed and all the necessary repairs are done before driv-
ing the vehicle. Always use the proper fluid and lubricants.
Drive Belt Inspection
When a separate belt drives the power steering pump, the
air conditioning compressor and the generator, inspect it
for cracks, fraying, wear and proper tension. Adjust or re-
place the belt as needed.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change
API Classifications of Engine Oil
The International Lubricant Standardization and Approval
Committee (ILSAC) and American Petroleum Institute
classifies engine oils according to their performance quali-
ty. Always use oil rated API–SL (ILSAC GF–III) or better.
Engine Oil Viscosity
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel econ-
omy and cold weather operation. Lower viscosity engine
oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weather per-
formance; however, higher temperature weather condi-
tions require higher viscosity engine oils for satisfactory lu-
brication. Using oils of any viscosity other than those
viscosities recommended could result in engine damage.
Cooling System Service
Drain, flush and refill the system with new coolant. Refer
to ”Recommended Fluids And Lubricants” in this section.
Fuel Micro–Filter Replacement
Replace the engine fuel filter every 45,000 km (27,000
miles).
Air Cleaner Element Replacement
Replace the air cleaner element every 45,000 km (27,000
miles).Replace the air cleaner more often under dusty conditions.
Throttle Body Mounting Bolt Torque
Check the torque of the mounting bolts.
Tighten the throttle body mounting bolts to 15 NSm (11 lb–
ft) if necessary.
Spark Plug Replacement
Replace spark plugs with the same type.
Spark Plug Wire Replacement
Clean wires and inspect them for burns, cracks or other
damage. Check the wire boot fit at the DIS module and at
the spark plugs. Replace the wires as needed.
Brake System Service
Check the disc brake pads and the drum brake linings ev-
ery 15,000 km (9,000 miles) or 12 months. Check the pad
and the lining thickness carefully. If the pads or the linings
are not expected to last to the next scheduledmaintenance
service, replace the pads or the linings. Check the breath-
er hole in the brake fluid reservoir cap to be sure it is free
from dirt and the passage is open.
Transaxle Service
The manual transaxle fluid does not require changing. For
automatic transaxles, refer to ”Scheduled Maintenance
Charts” in this section.
Tire and Wheel Inspection and Rotation
Check the tires for abnormal wear or damage. To equalize
wear and obtain maximum tire life, rotate the tires. If irreg-
ular or premature wear exists, check the wheel alignment
and check for damaged wheels. While the tires and
wheels are removed, inspect the brakes. Refer to ”Each
Time The Oil Is Changed” in this section.

Engine Cooling System
Inspect the coolant and freeze protection fluid. If the fluid
is dirty or rusty, drain, flush and refill the engine cooling
system with new coolant. Keep the coolant at the proper
mixture in order to ensure proper freeze protection, corro-sion protection and engine operating temperature. Inspect
the hoses. Replace the cracked, swollen, or deteriorated
hoses. Tighten the clamps. Clean the outside of the radia-
tor and the air conditioning condenser. Wash the filler cap
and the neck. Pressure test the cooling system and the
cap in order to help ensure proper operation.

DIAGNOSIS
COMPRESSION TEST
Important : Disconnect the Crankshaft Position (CKP)
Sensor connector to disable the fuel and the ignition sys-
tems.
Test the compression pressure for each cylinder. Low
compression pressure may be the fault of the valves or the
pistons. The following conditions should be considered
when you check the cylinder compression:
S The engine should be at normal operating tempera-
ture.
S The throttle must be wide open.
S All the spark plugs should be removed.
S The battery must be at or near full charge.
1. Place approximately three squirts of oil from a
plunger– type oiler into each spark plug port.
2. Insert the engine compression gauge into each
spark plug port.
3. Crank test each cylinder with four to five compres-
sion strokes using the starter motor.4. The lowest reading should not be less than 70% of
the highest reading. The compression gauge read-
ing should not be less than 689 kPa (100 psi) for
any of the cylinders.
5. Examine the gauge readings obtained after the four
”puffs” per cylinder are obtained from cranking the
starter motor. The readings are explained in the
following descriptions:
S Normal Condition – Compression builds up quickly
and evenly to the specified compression on each
cylinder.
S Piston Rings Faulty – Compression is low on the
first stroke and tends to build up on following
strokes, but the compression pressure does not
reach normal. The compression pressure improves
considerably with the addition of oil into the cylin-
der.
S Valves Faulty – Low compression pressure on the
first stroke. The compression pressure does not
tend to build up on the following strokes. The com-
pression pressure does not improve much with the
addition of oil into the cylinder.

DIAGNOSIS
SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
If an intermittent problem is evident, follow the guidelines
below.
Preliminary Checks
Before using this section you should have already per-
formed the ”On–Board Diagnostic System Check.”
Perform a thorough visual inspection. This inspection can
often lead to correcting a problem without further checks
and can save valuable time. Inspect for the following con-
ditions:
S Engine control module (ECM) grounds for being
clean, tight, and in their proper location.
S Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, collapsing and prop-
er connections as shown on the Vehicle Emission
Control Information label. Inspect thoroughly for
any type of leak or restriction.
S Air leaks at the throttle body mounting area and the
intake manifold sealing surfaces.
S Ignition wires for cracks, hardness, proper routing,
and carbon tracking.
S Wiring for proper connections.
S Wiring for pinches or cuts.
Diagnostic Trouble Code Tables
Do not use the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) tables to
try to correct an intermittent fault. The fault must be pres-
ent to locate the problem.
Incorrect use of the DTC tables may result in the unneces-
sary replacement of parts.
Faulty Electrical Connections or Wiring
Most intermittent problems are caused by faulty electrical
connections or wiring. Perform a careful inspection of sus-
pect circuits for the following:
S Poor mating of the connector halves.
S Terminals not fully seated in the connector body.
S Improperly formed or damaged terminals. All con-
nector terminals in a problem circuit should be care-
fully inspected, reformed, or replaced to insure con-
tact tension.S Poor terminal–to–wire connection. This requires
removing the terminal from the connector body.
Road Test
If a visual inspection does not find the cause of the prob-
lem, the vehicle can be driven with a voltmeter or a scan
tool connected to a suspected circuit. An abnormal voltage
or scan tool reading will indicate that the problem is in that
circuit.
If there are no wiring or connector problems found and a
DTC was stored for a circuit having a sensor, except for
DTC P0171 and DTC P0172, replace the sensor.
Fuel System
Some intermittent driveability problems can be attributed
to poor fuel quality. If a vehicle is occasionally running
rough, stalling, or otherwise performing badly, ask the cus-
tomer about the following fuel buying habits:
S Do they always buy from the same source? If so,
fuel quality problems can usually be discounted.
S Do they buy their fuel from whichever fuel station
that is advertising the lowest price? If so, check the
fuel tank for signs of debris, water, or other contam-
ination.
IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE
Whenever the battery cables, the engine control module
(ECM), or the ECM fuse is disconnected or replaced, the
following idle learn procedure must be performed:
1. Turn the ignition ON for 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition OFF for 5 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition ON for 5 seconds.
4. Start the engine in park/neutral.
5. Allow the engine to run until the engine coolant is
above 185° F (85°C ).
6. Turn the A/C ON for 10 seconds, if equipped.
7. Turn the A/C OFF for 10 seconds, if equipped.
8. If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic trans-
axle, apply the parking brake. While pressing the
brake pedal, place the transaxle in D (drive).
9. Turn the A/C ON for 10 seconds, if equipped.
10. Turn the A/C OFF for 10 seconds, if equipped.
11. Turn the ignition OFF. The idle learn procedure is
complete.

FUEL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
Circuit Description
The fuel pump is an in–tank type mounted to a fuel sender
assembly. The fuel pump will remain on as long as the en-
gine is cranking or running and the Engine Control Module
(ECM) is receiving reference pulses from the crankshaft
position (CKP) sensor. If there are no reference pulses,
the ECM will turn off the fuel pump two seconds after the
ignition switch is turned ON or two seconds after the en-
gine stops running. The fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel
rail and the fuel injectors, where the fuel system pressure
is controlled from 284 to 325 kPa (41 to 47 psi) by the fuel
pressure regulator. The excess fuel is returned to the fuel
tank.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
2. When the engine is idling, the intake manifold vacu-
um is high. This vacuum is applied to the fuel pres-
sure regulator diaphragm, offsetting the spring
pressure inside the fuel pressure regulator and low-
ering the fuel pressure.10. If there is fuel bleeding back through the fuel return
outlet, this is due to a faulty fuel pressure regulator.
14. Another symptom often present when the fuel injec-
tors are leaking is hard starting. Leaking fuel injec-
tors can cause a flooding condition.
23. Fuel leaking from the fuel pump inlet is due to a
faulty one–way check valve in the fuel pump.
CAUTION : The fuel system is under pressure. To
avoid fuel spillage and the risk of personal injury or
fire, it is necessary to relieve the fuel system pressure
before disconnecting the fuel lines.
CAUTION : Do not pinch or restrict nylon fuel lines to
avoid damage that could cause a fuel leak, resulting
in possible fire or personal injury.
Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure
1. Remove the fuel cap.
2. Remove the fuel pump fuse EF18 from the engine
fuse box.
3. Start the engine and allow the engine to stall.
4. Crank the engine for an additional 10 seconds.

TROUBLE CODE DIAGNOSIS
(1.4L/1.6L DOHC)
CLEARING TROUBLE CODES
Notice : To prevent Engine Control Module (ECM) dam-
age, the key must be OFF when disconnecting or recon-
necting the power to the ECM (for example battery cable,
ECM pigtail connector, ECM fuse, jumper cables,
etc.).When the ECM sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC), the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) lamp will be
turned on only for type A, B and E but a DTC will be stored
in the ECM’s memory for all types of DTC. If the problemis intermittent, the MIL will go out after 10 seconds if the
fault is no longer present. The DTC will stay in the ECM’s
memory until cleared by scan tool. Removing battery volt-
age for 10 seconds will clear some stored DTCs.
DTCs should be cleared after repairs have been com-
pleted. Some diagnostic tables will tell you to clear the
codes before using the chart. This allows the ECM to set
the DTC while going through the chart, which will help to
find the cause of the problem more quickly.
