DTC P0420, P0430 THREE WAY CATALYST FUNCTION
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
5. CHECK FUEL INJECTORS
1. Stop engine and then turn ignition switch ON.
2. Check voltage between ECM terminals 21, 22, 23, 40, 41, 42,
44, 63 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.
Refer to Wiring Diagram for fuel injectors, EC-1421, "
Wiring Dia-
gram" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 6.
NG >> Perform EC-1422, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
6. CHECK FUNCTION OF IGNITION COIL-I
CAUTION:
Do the following procedure in the place where ventilation is good without the combustible.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Remove fuel pump fuse (1) in IPDM E/R (2) to release fuel pres-
sure.
NOTE:
Do not use CONSULT-II to release fuel pressure, or fuel pres-
sure applies again during the following procedure.
3. Start engine.
4. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel
pressure.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
6. Remove all ignition coil harness connectors to avoid the electri-
cal discharge from the ignition coils.
7. Remove ignition coil and spark plug of the cylinder to be checked.
8. Crank engine for 5 seconds or more to remove combustion gas in the cylinder.
9. Connect spark plug and harness connector to ignition coil.
10. Fix ignition coil using a rope etc. with gap of 13 - 17 mm
between the edge of the spark plug and grounded metal portion
as shown in the figure.
11. Crank engine for about 3 seconds, and check whether spark is
generated between the spark plug and the grounded metal por-
tion.
CAUTION:
Do not approach to the spark plug and the ignition coil
within 50cm. Be careful not to get an electrical shock
while checking, because the electrical discharge voltage
becomes 20kV or more.
It might cause to damage the ignition coil if the gap of more than 17 mm is taken.
NOTE:
When the gap is less than 13 mm, the spark might be generated even if the coil is malfunctioning.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 10.
NG >> GO TO 7.Battery voltage should exist.

3. Check resistance between ignition coil terminals as follows.
4. If NG, replace ignition coil with power transistor.
If OK, go to next step.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
6. Reconnect all harness connectors disconnected.
7. Remove fuel pump fuse (1) in IPDM E/R (2) to release fuel pres-
sure.
NOTE:
Do not use CONSULT-II to release fuel pressure, or fuel pres-
sure applies again during the following procedure.
8. Start engine.
9. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel
pressure.
10. Turn ignition switch OFF.
11. Remove all ignition coil harness connectors to avoid the electri-
cal discharge from the ignition coils.
12. Remove ignition coil and spark plug of the cylinder to be checked.
13. Crank engine for five seconds or more to remove combustion gas in the cylinder.
14. Connect spark plug and harness connector to ignition coil.
15. Fix ignition coil using a rope etc. with gap of 13 - 17 mm
between the edge of the spark plug and grounded metal portion
as shown in the figure.
16. Crank engine for about three seconds, and check whether spark
is generated between the spark plug and the grounded metal
portion.
CAUTION:
Do not approach to the spark plug and the ignition coil
within 50cm. Be careful not to get an electrical shock
while checking, because the electrical discharge voltage
becomes 20kV or more.
It might cause to damage the ignition coil if the gap of more than 17 mm is taken.
NOTE:
When the gap is less than 13 mm, the spark might be generated even if the coil is malfunctioning.
17. If NG, replace ignition coil with power transistor.
CONDENSER
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect condenser harness connector.
Terminal No. (Polarity) Resistance [at 25C (77F)]
1 and 2 Except 0 or
1 and 3
Except 0
2 and 3
Spark should be generated.

DRIVE BELTSPFP:02117
Checking Drive BeltsNBS004MU
WAR NING :
Be sure to perform when engine is stopped.
1. Inspect belts for cracks, fraying, wear and oil. If necessary, replace.
2. Inspect drive belt deflection or tension at a point on belt midway
between pulleys.
Inspection should be done only when engine is cold, or over
30 minutes after engine is stopped.
Measure the belt tension with belt tension gauge (Commercial
service tool: BT3373-F or equivalent) at points marked
shown in the figure.
When measuring the deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at
the marked point.
Adjust if the belt deflection exceeds the limit or if the belt ten-
sion is not within specifications.
CAUTION:
When checking the belt deflection or the tension immediately after installation, first adjust it to
the specified value. Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified
value to avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.
Tighten idler pulley lock nut by hand and measure the deflection or the tension without loose-
ness.
Belt Deflection and Tension
*: If belt tension gauge cannot be installed at check points shown, check drive belt tension at different location on belt.
Tension AdjustmentNBS004MV
CAUTION:
When belt is replaced with a new one, adjust it to value for “New belt” to accommodate for insuffi-
cient adaptability with pulley grooves.
When deflection or tension of belt being used exceeds “Limit”, adjust it to value for “After adjust-
ment”.
When checking belt deflection or tension immediately after installation, first adjust it to the speci-
fied value. Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified value to
avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.
When installing belt, make sure that it is correctly engaged with pulley grooves.
Keep engine oil, working fluid and engine coolant away from belt and pulley grooves.
Do not twist or bend belt excessively.

1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Loosen idler pulley lock nut (A) and adjust tension by turning
adjusting bolt (B).
For the specified belt tension, refer to EM-15, "Checking Drive
Belts" .
3. Tighten nut (A).
A/C COMPRESSOR BELT
1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Loosen idler pulley lock nut (C) and adjust tension by turning adjusting bolt (D).
For the specified belt tension, refer to EM-15, "Checking Drive Belts" .
3. Tighten nut (C).

REMOVAL
1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Remove alternator and power steering oil pump belt. Refer to EM-16, "
ALTERNATOR AND POWER

CAUTION:
Grease is applied to idler pulley adjusting bolt. Be careful to keep grease away from belt.
INSTALLATION
1. Install belts to pulley in reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Make sure drive belt is correctly engaged with pulley groove.
Make sure that for engine oil and engine coolant do not adhere to belt and each pulley grooves.
2. Adjust belt tension. Refer to EM-15, "
Tension Adjustment" .
3. Tighten each adjusting bolt and nut to the specified torque.
4. Make sure that tension of each belt is within the standard. Refer to EM-15, "
