Component InspectionUBS00H3Y
KNOCK SENSOR
Check resistance between knock sensor terminal 1 and ground.
NOTE:
It is necessary to use an ohmmeter which can measure more
than 10 MΩ.
CAUTION:
Do not use any knock sensors that have been dropped or phys-
ically damaged. Use only new ones.
Removal and InstallationUBS00H3Z
KNOCK SENSOR
Refer to EM-73, "CYLINDER BLOCK" . Resistance: Approximately 532 - 588 kΩ [at 20°C (68°F)]

* Refer to GI-45, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove engine assembly. Refer to EM-70, "REMOVAL" .
2. Remove the drive plate.

Hold the crankshaft pulley bolt to lock the crankshaft and remove the drive plate bolts.

Loosen bolts diagonally.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage drive plate. Especially avoid
deforming and damaging of signal plate teeth (circum-
ference position).

Place the drive plate with signal plate surface facing
other than downward.

Keep magnetic materials away from signal plate.
3. Lift the engine with hoist to install it onto engine stand. Refer to EM-70, "
REMOVAL" .
CAUTION:

Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately 240kg (529 lb) or more] large
enough for supporting the engine weight.

Before removing the hanging chains, make sure the engine stand is stable and there is no risk
of overturning.

If the load capacity of the stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the
potential risk of overturning the stand.
–Remove fuel tube and fuel injector assembly. Refer to EM-29, "REMOVAL" .
–Remove intake manifold. Refer to EM-15, "REMOVAL" .
–Remove exhaust manifold. Refer to EM-19, "REMOVAL" .
–Remove A/C compressor fitting bolts and brackets. Refer to ATC-166, "REMOVAL" .
–Remove ignition coil. Refer to EM-26, "REMOVAL" .
–Remove rocker cover. Refer to EM-33, "REMOVAL" .
–Other removable brackets.
4. Drain engine oil. Refer to MA-16, "
Changing Engine Oil" .

5. Drain engine coolant by removing cylinder block drain plug “A”,
“B”, “C” and “D” as shown.
6. Remove the following components and associated parts (The parts listed in step 3 are not included here.)

Oil pan and oil strainer. Refer to EM-22, "REMOVAL" .

Crankshaft pulley, front cover and timing chain. Refer to EM-36, "REMOVAL" .

Camshaft. Refer to EM-43, "REMOVAL" .

Cylinder head. Refer to EM-60, "REMOVAL" .
7. Remove knock sensor.
CAUTION:
Carefully handle the sensor, avoiding shocks.
8. Remove the piston and connecting rod assembly as follows.

Before removing the piston and connecting rod assembly, check the connecting rod side clearance.
Refer to EM-89, "
CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE" .
a. Position the crankshaft pin corresponding to the connecting rod to be removed onto the bottom dead cen-
ter.
b. Remove the connecting rod cap.
c. Push the piston and connecting rod assembly out to the cylinder
head side using suitable tool.
9. Remove the connecting rod bearings.
CAUTION:
When removing them, note the installation position. Keep them in the correct order.
10. Remove the piston rings from the piston using suitable tool.
CAUTION:

When removing the piston rings, be careful not to dam-
age the piston.

Be careful not to damage piston rings by expanding them
excessively.

Before removing the piston rings, check the piston ring side
clearance. Refer to EM-90, "
PISTON RING SIDE CLEARANCE"
.

14. Install the connecting rod cap.

Match the stamped cylinder number marks on the connecting
rod with those on the cylinder cap to install.
15. Tighten the connecting rod bolts using Tool.

Apply engine oil to the threads and seats of the connecting
rod bolts.

After tightening the bolts, make sure that the crankshaft
rotates smoothly.

Check the connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-89, "CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE"
16. Install knock sensor.
CAUTION:
If the knock sensor is dropped, replace it with a new one.

Make sure that there is no foreign material on the cylinder
block mating surface and the back surface of the knock sen-
sor.

Install it with its connector facing the center of cylinder block
side.

Do not tighten the knock sensor bolts while holding the con-
nector.

Make sure that the knock sensor does not interfere with other
parts.

Position sub-harness as shown before installing intake mani-
fold.
17. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
18. Remove engine assembly from engine stand.
