Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

REMOVAL
Outline
At first, remove the engine and the transmission assembly with front suspension member from vehicle down-
ward. Then separate the engine from transmission.
Preparation
1. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-98, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
2. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-11, "
Changing Engine Coolant" .
CAUTION:
Perform this step when engine is cold.
Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. Refer to SC-4, "
BATTERY" .
4. Remove the following parts:
Engine room cover (RH and LH); Refer toEM-14, "ENGINE ROOM COVER" .
Engine cover; Refer to EM-19, "INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .
Front road wheel and tires (power tool)
Front and rear engine undercover (power tool)

5. Discharge refrigerant from A/C circuit. Refer to ATC-151, "
REFRIGERANT LINES" .
6. Remove radiator hoses (upper and lower). Refer to CO-14, "
RADIATOR" .
Engine Room LH
1. Disconnect heater hose from vehicle-side, and fit a plug onto hose end to prevent engine coolant leak.
2. Disconnect wire bonding (between vehicle to left bank cylinder head).
3. Disconnect A/C piping from A/C compressor, and temporarily fasten it on vehicle with a rope. Refer to
AT C - 1 5 1 , "
REFRIGERANT LINES" .
4. Disconnect brake booster vacuum hose.
Engine Room RH
1. Disconnect battery positive cable at vehicle side and temporarily fasten it on engine.
2. Disconnect grounding cable.
3. Disconnect fuel feed hose (with damper) and EVAP hose. Refer to EM-45, "
FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL
TUBE" .
CAUTION:
Fit plugs onto disconnected hoses to prevent fuel leak.
4. Remove reservoir tank of power steering oil pump and piping from vehicle, and temporarily secure them
on engine. Refer to PS-29, "
POWER STEERING OIL PUMP" .
CAUTION:
When temporarily securing, keep the reservoir tank upright to avoid a fluid leak.
Vehicle inside
Follow procedure below to disconnect engine room harness connectors at passenger room side, and tempo-
rarily secure them on engine.
1. Remove passenger-side kicking plate, dash side finisher, and glove box. Refer to EI-37, "
BODY SIDE
TRIM" and IP-10, "INSTRUMENT PANEL ASSEMBLY" .
2. Disconnect engine room harness connectors at unit sides TCM, ECM and other.
3. Disengage intermediate fixing point. Pull out engine room harnesses to engine room side, and temporarily
secure them on engine.
CAUTION:
When pulling out harnesses, take care not to damage harnesses and connectors.
After temporarily securing, cover connectors with vinyl or similar material to protect against for-
eign material adhesion.

If items or work required are not covered by the engine section, refer to the applicable sections.
Always use the support point specified for lifting.
Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for
unavoidable reasons, support at rear axle jacking point with transmission jack or similar tool
before starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.
For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-42, "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand and 2-Pole Lift" .
