1. Connect and disconnect 4.5 - 9.0 V battery between terminal No. 2 and No. 3,
and observe the ohmmeter whether there is continuity or not.
2. If results do not agree with the table below, replace the primary coil and
ignition power transistor assembly.

SECONDARY COIL CHECK 1. Disconnect the ignition coil connector.
2. Remove the ignition coil and install a new spark plug to the ignition coil.
3. Connect the ignition coil connector.
4. Ground the side electrode of the spark plug and crank the engine.
5. Check that spark is produced between the electrodes of the spark plug.
6. If no spark plug is produced, replace the ignition coil with a new one and
recheck.
7. If spark is produced with the new ignition coil, replace the old one as it is
faulty. If no spark is produced again, the ignition circuit is suspected as faulty.
Check the ignition circuit. NOTE: It is impossible to check the secondary coil through the
continuity check as a diode is integrated in the secondary
coil circuit of this ignition coil. Accordingly, check the
secondary coil in the following procedure.

2. Ground the spark plug outer electrode (body), and crank the engine.
Check that there is an electrical dischar
ge between the electrodes at this time.

>>C<< FUEL HIG
H-PRESSURE HOSE INSTALLATION
1. When connecting the fuel high-pressure hose to the fuel rail, apply a small
amount of new engine oil to the O-ring and then insert the fuel high-pressure
hose, being careful not to damage the O-ring.
2. While turning the fuel high-pressure hose to the left and right, install it to the
fuel rail.
3. Check that the injector turns smoothly. If it does not turn smoothly, the O-ring
may be trapped. Remove the fuel high-pressure hose and then re-insert it into
the fuel rail and check again. INSPECTION Check the following points; replace the part if a problem is found. INTAKE MANIFOLD CHECK 1. Check for damage or cracking of any part.
2. Clogging of the negative pressure (vacuum) outlet port, or clogging of the
exhaust gas recirculation passages.
3. Using a straight edge and feeler gauge, check for distortion of the cylinder
head installation surface.
Standard value: 0.15 mm (0.006 inch) or less
Limit: 0.20 mm (0.008 inch)
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow any engine oil to enter the
fuel rail. Be careful not to bend the fuel high-pressure
hose as it is made of plastics.

2004 STEERING
Power Steering - Endeavor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION Power steering has been adopted in all vehicles to make the steering system easier
to handle.
A 4-spoke steering wheel is used. A steering column has a shock absorbing mechanism and a tilt steering
mechanism. A rack and pinion steering gear is used. An oil pump responsive to engine RPM is used, which, with tuning for a rigid
gear box mount, improves steering stability at high speeds. The separate plastic resin oil reservoir reduces weight and makes fluid level
checking easier.

YES: Repeat from Step 1 .
NO: The procedure is complete.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2: DIFFICULT STEERING WHEEL OPERATION (INSUFFICIENT POWER ASSIST) DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check the drive belt for damage.
Q: Is the drive belt damaged?
YES: Replace the drive belt. Then go to Step 9 .
NO: Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check the power steering oil pump drive belt tension.
Refer to 7. DRIVE BELTS (FOR GENERATOR, POWER STEERING OIL PUMP AND AIR CONDITIONING) (CHECK)
.
Q: Is the power steering oil pump drive belt tension within the standard
value?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Adjust the tension. (Refer to 7. DRIVE BELTS (FOR
GENERATOR, POWER STEERING OIL PUMP AND AIR CONDITIONING) (CHECK)
). Then go to Step 9 .
STEP 3. Check the fluid level.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface, and then start the engine.
2. Turn the steering wheel several times to raise the temperature of the fluid
to approximately 50 - 60°C (122 - 140°F).
3. With the engine running, turn the wheel all the way to the left and right
several times.
4. Check the fluid in the oil reservoir for foaming or milkiness. Check the
difference of the fluid level when the engine is stopped, and while it is
running.
Q: Is the check result OK?
