FIRE
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch ON, and select “DATA MONITOR” mode
with CONSULT-II.
2. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Restart engine and let it idle for about 15 minutes.
5. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to EC-240, "
Diagnostic Procedure"
.
NOTE:
If 1st trip DTC is not detected during above procedure, performing
the following procedure is advised.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2. Start engine and drive the vehicle under the similar conditions to (1st trip) Freeze Frame Data for a certain
time. Refer to table below.
Hold the accelerator pedal as steady as possible.
The similar conditions to (1st trip) Freeze Frame Data means the vehicle operation that the following con-
dition should be satisfied at the same time:
The time to driving varies according to the engine speed in the freeze frame data.
Refer to the following table.
WITH GST
Follow the procedure “WITH CONSULT-II” above.
Diagnostic ProcedureEBS010PL
1. CHECK FOR INTAKE AIR LEAK AND PCV HOSE
1. Start engine and run it at idle speed.
2. Listen for the sound of the intake air leak.
3. Check PCV hose connection.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Repair or replace.
2. CHECK FOR EXHAUST SYSTEM CLOGGING
Stop engine and visually check exhaust tube, three way catalyst and muffler for dents.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.

DTC P0420 THREE WAY CATALYST FUNCTION
7. Make sure that the voltage switching frequency (high & low)
between ECM terminal 16 and ground is very less than that of
ECM terminal 35 and ground.
Switching frequency ratio = A/B
A: Heated oxygen sensor 2 voltage switching frequency
B: Heated oxygen sensor 1 voltage switching frequency
This ratio should be less than 0.75.
If the ratio is greater than above, it means three way catalyst
does not operate properly. Go to EC-266, "
Diagnostic Proce-
dure" .
NOTE:
If the voltage at terminal 35 does not switch periodically more than 5
times within 10 seconds at step 7, perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P0133 first. (See EC-186, "
DTC P0133
HO2S1" .)
Diagnostic ProcedureEBS010QB
1. CHECK EXHAUST SYSTEM
Visually check exhaust tubes and muffler for dent.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Repair or replace.
2. CHECK EXHAUST GAS LEAK
1. Start engine and run it at idle.
2. Listen for an exhaust gas leak before the three way catalyst (manifold).
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair or replace.
3. CHECK INTAKE AIR LEAK
Listen for an intake air leak after the mass air flow sensor.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> Repair or replace.
4. CHECK IGNITION TIMING
Check the following items. Refer to EC-79, "
Basic Inspection" .

Checking Exhaust SystemEBS00AZ6
Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper attachment,
leaks, cracks, damage or deterioration.
If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Removal and InstallationEBS003DN
CAUTION:
Be sure to use genuine exhaust system parts or equivalents which are specially designed for heat
resistance, corrosion resistance and shape.
Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully cooled down because the system will be hot
just after engine stops.
Be careful not to cut your hand on the insulator edge.

REMOVAL
Separate each connection as necessity.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Always replace exhaust gaskets and seal bearings with new ones when reassembling.
If insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on insulator,
remove them.
When installing insulator avoid large gaps or interference between insulator and each exhaust
pipe.
Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid
gas leakage.

EXHAUST SYSTEM
Temporarily tighten mounting nuts on the exhaust manifold side and mounting bolts on the vehi-
cle side. Check each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.
When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/
left directions.
Install seal bearings at exhaust front tube and main muffler as follows.
CAUTION:
Do not mix the bolt and spring for seal bearing as the dimension is different for each seal bearing.
Exhaust Front Tube Side (QR20DE and QR25DE)
Insert seal bearing in the direction shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
Tighten mounting bolt without causing interference with
exhaust front tube flange.
Main Muffler Side (QR20DE, QR25DE and YD22DDTi)
Insert seal bearing in the direction shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
Tighten mounting bolt without causing interference with main
muffler flange.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
With the engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.
Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration.
