Make sure that there is no foreign material on the cylinder
block mating surface and the back surface of knock sensor.

Install it with its connector facing the center of the cylinder
block side.

Do not tighten knock sensor bolts while holding connector.

Make sure knock sensor does not interfere with other parts.

Position the sub-harness as shown before installing intake
manifold.
17. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
18. Remove engine assembly from engine stand.
19. Install drive plate.

Align dowel pin of crankshaft rear end with pin holes of each

d. Disconnect the fuel filler hose from the fuel filler pipe.
e. Insert a suitable hose into the fuel tank through the fuel filler hose to drain the fuel from the fuel tank.

As a guide, the fuel level reaches the fuel gauge position as shown, or less, when approximately 14
liters (3 3/4 US gal, 3 1/8 Imp gal) of fuel are drained from the fuel tank.
3. Release the fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-80, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
4. Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
5. Remove the second row LH seat and the third row LH seat. Refer to SE-98, "
Second Row Outboard"
(second row), SE-105, "LH Side Seat" (third row).
6. Remove the second and third row rear seat belt buckles mounted on the floor. Refer to SB-3, "
SEAT
BELTS" .
7. Remove the LH center pillar trim, the LH rear trim panel, and the LH rear side door kick plate and weather stripping. Refer to EI-35, "
BODY SIDE TRIM" .
8. Remove the second row rear center console and base, if equipped. Refer to EI-37, "
FLOOR TRIM" .
9. Reposition the floor carpet out of the way to access the inspection hole cover, located under the center LH rear seat.
10. Remove the inspection hole cover by turning the retainers 90 °
degrees clockwise.

Remove the O-ring.

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-
nostic Worksheet during the interview to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any
customer's comments; refer to GW-9, "
Diagnostic Worksheet" . This information is necessary to duplicate the
conditions that exist when the noise occurs.

The customer may not be able to provide a detailed description or the location of the noise. Attempt to
obtain all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).

If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, be sure to diagnose and repair the noise that the customer
is concerned about. This can be accomplished by test driving the vehicle with the customer.

After identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics. The noise characteristics
are provided so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking the same language when
defining the noise.

Squeak —(Like tennis shoes on a clean floor)
Squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/brought on by road conditions/hard sur-
faces = higher pitch noise/softer surfaces = lower pitch noises/edge to surface = chirping.

Creak —(Like walking on an old wooden floor)
Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow movement/twisting with a rotational movement/pitch
dependent on materials/often brought on by activity.

Rattle —(Like shaking a baby rattle)
Rattle characteristics include the fast repeated contact/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missing
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.

Knock —(Like a knock on a door)
Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/sometimes repeating/often brought on by driver action.

Tick —(Like a clock second hand)
Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials/loose components/can be caused by driver
action or road conditions.

Thump —(Heavy, muffled knock noise)
Thump characteristics include softer knock/dead sound often brought on by activity.

Buzz —(Like a bumble bee)
Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.

Often the degree of acceptable noise level will vary depending upon the person. A noise that you may
judge as acceptable may be very irritating to the customer.

Weather conditions, especially humidity and temperature, may have a great effect on noise level.
