Diagnosis
Diagnosis Table
Refer to “Engine Diagnosis Table” in Section 6.
Compression Check
Check compression pressure on all 4 cylinders as follows:
1) Warm up engine.
2) Stop engine after warming up.
3) Disconnect accelerator cable (1) from clamp (2) (For left
hand steering vehicle only).
4) Remove cylinder head upper cover (3).
5) Disconnect ignition coil couplers (1).
6) Remove ignition coil assemblies (2) with high-tension cord
(3).
7) Remove all spark plugs.
8) Disconnect fuel injector wires (4) at the coupler.
9) Install special tools (Compression gauge) into spark plug
hole.
Special tool
(A) : 09915-64510-001
(B) : 09915-64510-002
(C) : 09915-64530
(D) : 09915-67010 NOTE:
After warming up engine, place transmission gear shift
lever in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A/T
model), and set parking brake and block drive wheels.

10) Disengage clutch (1) (to lighten starting load on engine) for
M/T vehicle, and depress accelerator pedal (2) all the way to
make throttle fully open.
11) Crank engine with fully charged battery, and read the highest
pressure on compression gauge.
Compression pressure specification
12) Carry out Steps 9) through 11) on each cylinder to obtain 4
readings.
13) After checking, install spark plugs and ignition coil assem-
blies (1) with high-tension cord (2).
14) Connect ignition coil couplers (3).
15) Connect fuel injector wires (4) at the coupler.
16) Check cylinder head upper cover gasket for deterioration and
then install it into groove of cylinder head upper cover (1)
securely.
17) Install cylinder head upper cover with gasket on to cylinder
head cover.
18) Connect accelerator cable (2) to clamp (3) (For left hand
steering vehicle only).
NOTE:
For measuring compression pressure, crank engine at
least 250 rpm by using fully charged battery.
If check results are below the limit valve, check instal-
lation condition for special tool.

Oil Pressure Check
Oil level in oil pan.
If oil level is low, add oil up to Full level mark (hole) (1) on oil
level gauge.
Oil quality.
If oil is discolored, or deteriorated, change it.
For particular oil to be used, refer to the table in Section 0B.
Oil leaks.
If leak is found, repair it.
1) Disconnect oil pressure switch coupler (1) and remove oil
pressure switch (2) from cylinder block.
2) Install special tools (Oil pressure gauge) to vacated threaded
hole.
Special tool
(A) : 09915-77310
(B) : 09915-78211
3) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
4) After warming up, raise engine speed to 4,000 rpm and mea-
sure oil pressure.
Oil pressure specification
280 – 430 kPa (2.8 – 4.3 kg/cm
2, 39.8 – 61.1 psi) at 4,000
rpm
5) Stop engine and remove oil pressure gauge and attachment.NOTE:
Prior to checking oil pressure, check the following items.
2. Low level mark (hole)
NOTE:
Be sure to place transmission gear shift lever in “Neu-
tral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A/T model), and
set parking brake and block drive wheels.

6) Before reinstalling oil pressure switch (2), be sure to wrap its
screw threads with sealing tape (1) and tighten switch to
specified torque.
Tightening torque
Oil pressure switch (a) : 14 N.m (1.4 kg-m, 10.5 lb-ft)
7) Start engine and check oil pressure switch for oil leakage.
If oil leakage is found, repair it.
8) Connect oil pressure switch coupler (1).NOTE:
If sealing tape edge is bulged out from screw threads of
switch, cut it off.
