ENGINE CRANKS BUT WILL NOT RUN
DEFINITIONS: Engine cranks, but will not run. (The
engine never start.)
NOTE: The replacement ECM must be programmed.
Refer to section of the Service Programming
System (SPS) in this manual. Following ECM
programming, the immobilizer system (if equipped)
must be linked to the ECM. Refer to section 11
"Immobilizer System-ECM replacement" for the
ECM/Immobilizer linking procedure.
Should Tech2 display "SPS Procedure was not
successful", engine will not start, but no DTCs are
present, low battery voltage or poor electrical
connections should be the primary
suspects.Perform the SPS procedure again after
rectifying the fault/s.
NOTE: The vehicle with immobilizer system, this
system may be activated. Check the immobilizer
system diagnosis.

Abnormal engine noise often consists of various
noises originating in rotating parts, sliding parts and
other moving parts of the engine. It is, therefore,
advisable to locate the source of noise systematically.

Condition Possible cause Correction

bearings usually make dull noise
that becomes more evident when
accelerating) Oil clearance increased due to
worn crank journals or crank
bearings Replace crank bearings and

Engine Oil Pressure Check
1. Check for dirt, gasoline or water in the engine
oil.
a. Check the viscosity of the oil.
b. Change the oil if the viscosity is outside the
specified standard.
c. Refer to the "Maintenance and Lubrication"
section of this manual.
2. Check the engine oil level.
The level should fall somewhere between the
"ADD" and the "FULL" marks on the oil level
dipstick.
If the oil level does not reach the "ADD" mark on
the oil level dipstick, engine oil must be added. 3. Remove the oil pressure unit.
4. Install an oil pressure gauge.
5. Start the engine and allow the engine to reach
normal operating temperature (About 80
C).
6. Measure the oil pressure.
Oil pressure should be:
150 kPa(21.8 psi) at idle speed.
7. Stop the engine.
8. Remove the oil pressure gauge
9. Install the oil pressure unit.
10. Start the engine and check for leaks.

6B-6 ENGINE COOLING

















Draining and Refilling Cooling
System
Before draining the cooling system, inspect the system and
perform any necessary service to ensure that it is clean, does
not leak and is in proper working order. The engine coolant
(EC) level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" lines of
reserve tank when the engine is cold. If low, check for leakage
and add EC up to the "MAX" line. There should not be any
excessive deposit of rust or scales around the radiator cap or
radiator filler hole, and the EC should also be free from oil.
Replace the EC if excessively dirty.
1. Completely drain the cooling system by opening the drain
plug at the bottom of the radiator.
2. Remove the radiator cap.
WARNING: TO AVOID THE DANGER OF BEING BURNED,
DO NOT REMOVE THE CAP WHILE THE ENGINE AND
RADIATOR ARE STILL HOT. SCALDING FLUID AND
STEAM CAN BE BLOWN OUT UNDER PRESSURE.
3. Disconnect all hoses from the EC reserve tank.
Scrub and clean the inside of the reserve tank with soap
and water. Flush it well with clean water, then drain it. Install
the reserve tank and hoses.
4. Refill the cooling system with the EC using a solution that is
at least 50 percent antifreeze.
5. Fill the radiator to the base of the filler neck.
Fill the EC reserve tank to "MAX" line when the engine is
cold.
6. Block the drive wheels and firmly apply the parking brake.
Shift an automatic transmission to "P" (Park) or a manual
transmission to neutral.
7. Remove the radiator cap. Start the engine and warm it up a
t
2,500 - 3,000 rpm for about 30 minutes.
8. When the air comes out from the radiator filler neck and the
EC level has gone down, replenish with the EC. Repeat this
procedure until the EC level does not go down. Then stop
the engine and install the radiator cap. Let the engine cool
down.
9. After the engine has cooled, replenish with EC up to the
"MAX" line of the reserve tank.
10. Start the engine. With the engine running at 3,000 rpm,
make sure there is no running water sound from the heate
r
core (behind the center console).
11. If the running water sound is heard, repeat steps 8 to 10.

ENGINE ELECTRICAL 6D1-5











































Battery fluid is a highly corrosive acid.
Should battery fluid come in contact with your eyes, skin,
fabric, or a painted surface, immediately and thoroughly rinse
the affected area with clean tap water.
Never allow metal tools or jumper cables to come in contact
with the positive battery terminal, or any other metal surface of
the vahicle. This will protect against a short circuit.
Always keep batteries out of reach of young children.
Jump Starting Procedure
1. Set the vehicle parking brake.
If the vahicle is equipped with an automatic transmission,
place the selector level in the "PARK" position.
If the vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, place
the shift lever in the "NEUTRAL" position.
Turn "OFF" the ignition.
Turn "OFF" all lights and any other accessory requiring
electrical power.
2. Look at the built-in hydrometer.
If the indication area of the built-in hydrometer is completely
clear, do not try to jump start.
3.
Attach the end of one jumper cable to the positive terminal
of the booster battery.

Attach the other end of the same cable to the positive
terminal of the discharged battery.
Do not allow the vehicles to touch each other. This will
cause a ground connection, effectively neutralizing the
charging procedure.
Be sure that the booster battery has a 12 volt rating.
4.
Attach one end of the remaining cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery.

Attach the other end of the same cable to a solid engine
ground (such as the air conditioning compressor bracket o
r
the generator mounting bracket) of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
The ground connection must be at least 450 mm (18 in.)
from the battery of the vehicle whose battery is being
charged.
WARNING: NEVER ATTACH THE END OF THE JUMPER
CABLE DIRECTLY TO THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF THE
DEAD BATTERY.
5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery.
Make sure that all unnecessary electrical accessories have
been turned "OFF".
6. Start the engine of the vehicle with the dead battery.
7. To remove the jumper cables, follow the above directions in
reverse order.
Be sure to first disconnect the negative cable from the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
