 Valve guide reamer, 5.5 mm 07HAH-PJ7A100
1. Inspect the valve stem-to-guide clearance (see page 6-55).
2. As illustrated, use a commercially available air- impact valve guide driver (A) modified to fit the
diameter of the valve guides. In most cases, the
same procedure can be done using the valve guide
driver and a conventional hammer.
3. Select the proper replacement guides, and chill them in the freezer section of a refrigerator for at
least an hour.
4. Use a hot plate or oven to evenly heat the cylinder head to 150 °C (300 °F). Monitor the temperature
with a cooking thermometer. Do not get the head
hotter than 150 °C (300 °F); excessive heat may
loosen the valve seats. 5. Working from the camshaft side, use the driver and
an air hammer to drive the guide about 2 mm
(0.1 in.) towards the combustion chamber. This will
knock off some of the carbon and make removal
easier. Hold the air hammer directly in line with the
valve guide to prevent damaging the driver.
6. Turn the head over, and drive the guide out toward the camshaft side of the head.
7. If a valve guide won’t move, drill it out with a 8 mm (5/16 in.) bit, then try again.
NOTE: Drill guides only in extreme cases, you
could damage the cylinder head if the guide breaks.
8. Remove out the new guide(s) from the freezer, one at a time, as you need them.

SRS components are located in this area. Review the
S
RS component locations (see page 24-11) and the
precautions and procedures (see page 24-13) before
doing repairs or service.
NOTE:  Follow the A-pillar trim installation procedure carefully; improper installation could cause the side
curtain airbag to deploy improperly and possibly
cause injury.
 Put on gloves to protect your hands.
 Use the appropriate tool from the KTC trim tool set to avoid damage when removing components.
 Take care not to scratch the trim and panels.
 The upper clip in the A-pillar trim (A) consists of a grommet (B) and a pin (C). The grommet expanded
with the pin secures it to the body panel (D). The
projections (E) on the pin are broken during removal,
so the clip must be replaced with a new one when the
trim is reinstalled. 1

. Pull the door opening seal away from the A-p
illar
as needed (see step 4 on page 20-66).
2. Hit the upper clip in the A-p illar trim (A) with a
rubber mallet. The clip is under the ‘‘SIDE CURTAIN
AIRBAG’’ mark (B). Hitting the clip breaks the
projections (C) on the pin (D) and pushes it into the
grommet (E) on the body (F).
NOTE: The upper clip must be replaced with a new
one when the A-pillar trim is reinstalled.

 Use the appropriate tool from the KTC trim tool set to avoid damage when removing components.
 Take care not to scratch the trim and panels.
 The front clip in the C-pillar trim (A) consists of a grommet (B) and a pin (C). The grommet expanded
with the pin secures it to the body panel (D). The
projections (E) on the pin are broken during removal,
so the clip must be replaced with a new one when the
trim is reinstalled. 1.

Remove these items:
 Rear seat cushion (see page 20-133)
 Rear seat side bolster (see page 20-134)
 Rear door opening seal, as needed (see step 3 on page 20-68)
2. Fold the seat-back forward.
3. Hit the front clip in the C-pillar trim (A) with a rubber mallet. The clip is near the triangle mark (B).
Hitting the clip breaks the projections (C) on the pin
(D) and pushes it into the grommet (E) on the body
(F).
NOTE: The clip must be replaced with a new one
when the C-pillar trim is reinstalled.

Symptom Troubleshooting

NOTE:
 Check the vehicle battery condition first.
 Check for aftermarket accessories plugged into the vehicle accessory power sockets (including cell
phone).
 Check the connectors for poor connections or loose terminals.
 Check the radio reception in an open area. Compare it to a known-good vehicle when ever possible.Poor
reception/interference can be caused by the
following:
– The radio station is far away.
– Atmospheric conditions are unfavorable.
– Tall buildings, mountains, or high-voltage power lines are nearby.
– Aftermarket metallic wi ndow tint.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Do the seek stop test (see page 23-78).
Multipath interference or weak station.
Operation is normal. Go to step 3.
3. Check if the radio reception/interference is the same in several locations.
Go to step 4.
Multipath interference or weak station.
Operation is normal.
4. Start the engine.
5. Check the reception/interference.
Check the antenna and radio grounds. If OK,
check the charging system and the ignition
system. Go to step 6.
6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0). 7. Remove the right side C-pillar trim (see page 20-75).
8. Check the connections from the AM/FM antenna
amplifier to the window antenna.
Repair the connections, or substitute a
known-good AM/FM antenna amplifier and retest.
If the symptom/condition goes away, replace the
original AM/FM antenna amplifier (see page 23-87).
Go to step 9.
9. With the help of an assistant inside the vehicle, have the assistant shine a flashlight (A) along each
antenna wire (B). Check from the outside of the
vehicle for any breaks or openings in the antenna
wires (the light shines through).
Repair the window antenna. Go to AM/FM
antenna repair (see page 23-87), or replace the rear
window (see page 20-47).
Go to step 10.
