TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUEPFP:00031
DescriptionABS00C01
The specification (SP) value indicates the tolerance of the value that is displayed in “DATA MONITOR (SPEC)”
mode of CONSULT-II during normal operation of the Engine Control System. When the value in “DATA MONI-
TOR (SPEC)” mode is within the SP value, the Engine Control System is confirmed OK. When the value in
“DATA MONITOR (SPEC)” mode is NOT within the SP value, the Engine Control System may have one or
more malfunctions.
The SP value is used to detect malfunctions that may affect the Engine Control System, but will not light the
MIL.
The SP value will be displayed for the following three items:
B/FUEL SCHDL (The fuel injection pulse width programmed into ECM prior to any learned on board cor-
rection)
A/F ALPHA-B1/B2 (The mean value of air-fuel ratio feedback correction factor per cycle)
MAS A/F SE-B1 (The signal voltage of the mass air flow sensor)
Testing ConditionABS00C02
Vehicle driven distance: More than 5,000 km (3,017 miles)
Barometric pressure: 98.3 - 104.3 kPa (1.003 - 1.064 kg/cm2 , 14.25 - 15.12 psi)
Atmospheric temperature: 20 - 30°C (68 - 86°F)
Engine coolant temperature: 75 - 95°C (167 - 203°F)
Transmission: Warmed-up*1
Electrical load: Not applied*2
Engine speed: Idle
*1: After the engine is warmed up to normal operating temperature, drive vehicle until “FLUID TEMP SE” (A/T
fluid temperature sensor signal) indicates more than 60°C (140°F).
*2: Rear window defogger switch, air conditioner switch, lighting switch are OFF. Steering wheel is straight
ahead.
Inspection ProcedureABS00C03
NOTE:
Perform “DATA MONITOR (SPEC)” mode in maximum scale display.
1. Perform EC-733, "
Basic Inspection" .
2. Confirm that the testing conditions indicated above are met.
3. Select “B/FUEL SCHDL”, “A/F ALPHA-B1”, “A/F ALPHA-B2”
and “MAS A/F SE-B1” in “DATA MONITOR (SPEC)” mode with
CONSULT-II.
4. Make sure that monitor items are within the SP value.
5. If NG, go to EC-781, "

DescriptionABS00C0F
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
*: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line
This mechanism hydraulically controls cam phases continuously with the fixed operating angle of the intake
valve.
The ECM receives signals such as crankshaft position, camshaft position, engine speed, and engine coolant
temperature. Then, the ECM sends ON/OFF pulse duty signals to the intake valve timing (IVT) control sole-
noid valve depending on driving status. This makes it possible to control the shut/open timing of the intake
valve to increase engine torque in low/mid speed range and output in high-speed range.
COMPONENT INSPECTION
Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Valve
Intake Valve Timing (IVT) control solenoid valve is activated by ON/
OFF pulse duty (ratio) signals from the ECM.
The IVT control solenoid valve changes the oil amount and direction
of flow through intake valve timing control unit or stops oil flow.
The longer pulse width advances valve angle.
The shorter pulse width retards valve angle.
When ON and OFF pulse widths become equal, the solenoid valve
stops oil pressure flow to fix the intake valve angle at the control
position.

Main Bearing Grade Table (All Journals)
Undersize Bearing Usage Guide
Use undersize (US) bearing when oil clearance with standard size main bearing is not within specification.
When using undersize (US) bearing, measure the bearing inner diameter with bearing installed, and grind
journal until oil clearance falls within specification.
CAUTION:
Keep fillet R [1.5 mm (0.059 in)] when grinding crankshaft jour-
nal in order to use undersize bearing (All journals).

If clearance cannot be adjusted within the standard, grind crankshaft pin and use undersized bearing.
Refer to EM-132, "
HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage
Remove engine oil and dust on crankshaft pin and the surfaces
of each bearing completely.
Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than bearing width, and place it
in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.
Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and connect-
ing rod bearing cap, and tighten connecting rod bolts to the
specified torque. Refer to EM-126, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tighten-
ing procedure.
CAUTION:
Never rotate crankshaft.
Remove connecting rod cap and bearings, and using the scale
on the plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is same as that described in the “Method by
Calculation”.
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by Calculation
Install main bearings to cylinder block and main bearing cap.
Measure the main bearing inner diameter with bearing cap bolt
tightened with main bearing beam to the specified torque. Refer
to EM-126, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.
(Oil clearance) = (Main bearing inner diameter) – (Crankshaft main
journal diameter)
If the measured value exceeds the limit, select main bearings
referring to the main bearing inner diameter and crankshaft jour-
nal outer diameter, so that the oil clearance satisfies the standard. Refer to EM-133, "
HOW TO SELECT
MAIN BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage
Remove engine oil and dust on crankshaft journal and the sur-
faces of each bearing completely.
Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than bearing width, and place it
in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.
Install main bearing to cylinder block and main bearing cap, and
tighten main bearing bolts with main bearing beam to the speci-
fied torque. Refer to EM-126, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tightening
procedure.
CAUTION:
Never rotate crankshaft.
Remove bearing cap and bearings, and using the scale on the
plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is same as that described in the “Method by
Calculation”.
