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 80C).
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.

Fuel Filter
Fuel Filter and Associated Parts
Removal
CAUTION: When repair to the fuel system has been
completed, start engine and check the fuel system fo
r
loose connections or leakage. For the fuel system
diagnosis, see Section "Driveability and Emissions".
(2.4L)
1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Disconnect the quick connector from the fuel filter.

Fuel Filter
Inspection
1. Replace the fuel filter if the fuel leaks from fuel filter
body or if the fuel filter body itself is damaged.
2. Replace the filter if it is clogged with dirt o
r
sediment.
Installation
1. Install the filter to holder from side member side.
NOTE: Attend direction of fuel filter. (1) to engine side
(2) to fuel tank side.
NOTE: Verify to hang holder hook to fuel filter.
NOTE: Verify to hang holder hook to fuel filter.
RTW36CSH000301
2. Connect the quick connector from the fuel tube to
the fuel filter.
NOTE: Pull of the left checker into the fuel pipe.
NOTE: Refer to “Fuel Tube/Quick Connector Fittings” in
this section when performing any repairs.
3. Tighten fuel filler cap until at least one click are
heard.
4. Connect the battery ground cable.
Inspection
After installation, start engine and check for fuel
leakage.
In–Tank Fuel Filter
The filter is located on the lower end of fuel pickup tube
in the fuel tank. It prevents dirt from entering the fuel
pipe and also stops water unless the filter is completely
submerged in the water. It is a selfcleaning type, no
t
requiring scheduled maintenance. Excess water and
sediment in the tank restricts fuel supply to the engine,
resulting in engine stoppage. In such a case, the tank
must be cleaned thoroughly.
