3. Replace the radiator cap if the reading does not remain at or above the limit.
ENGINE COOLANT REPLACEMENT 1. Drain the water from the radiator, heater core and engine after unplugging the
radiator drain plug and removing the radiator cap.
2. Drain the water in the water jacket by unplugging the drain plug of the cylinder
block. For the right bank side on AWD vehicles, drain the engine coolant from
the water feed tube assembly of the transfer box.
3. Remove the radiator condenser tank assembly and drain the coolant.
4. Drain the coolant then clean the path of the coolant by injecting water into the
radiator from the radiator cap area.
WARNING:When removing the radiator cap, use care to avoid
contact with hot coolant or steam. Place a shop
towel over the cap and turn the cap
counterclockwise a little to let the pressure escape
through the vinyl tube. After relieving the steam
pressure, remove the cap by slowly turning it
counterclockwise.

9. Rotate the crankshaft a quarter turn counterclockwise. Then rotate it back
clockwise to verify that all the timing marks are aligned.
10. Loosen the flange bolt securing the tensioner pulley, and then mount special
tool MD998767 and a torque wrench on the tensioner pulley.
11. Torque it to 4.4 N.m (39 in-lb) with the torque wrench.
12. While holding the tensioner pulley in position, tighten the flange bolt to the
specified torque.

13. Rotate the crankshaft two turns clockwise and leave it alone for approximately
five minutes.
14. Check to see whether the metal wire inserted when the auto-tensioner was
installed can be removed without any resistance.
If the metal wire can be removed without any resistance, it means that the belt
has a proper tension. Therefore, remove the metal wire. In this condition, check
that the rod protrusion of the auto-tensioner is within the standard value.
Standard value: 4.8 - 6.0 mm (0.19 - 0.24 inch)

2. Adjust the belt tension to the standard value by turning the adjusting bolt. The
tension will increase when turning the adjusting bolt clockwise, and decrease
when turning counterclockwise.
3. Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 49+/-9 N.m (36+/-7 ft-lb)
4. Tighten the adjusting bolt.
Tightening torque: 5.0+/-1.0 N.m (44+/-9 in-lb)
5. Check the belt deflection amount and tension, and readjust if necessary.
