2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while
checking.
a. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-80, "
Fuel Pressure Check".
b. Disconnect ignition coil and injector harness connectors if practical.
3. Remove IVT control solenoid valve.
4. Crank engine, and then make sure that engine oil comes out from IVT control cover oil hole. End cranking
after checking.
WARNING:
Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive be lts, idler pulley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
• Engine oil may squirt from IVT control soleno id valve installation hole during cranking. Use a
shop cloth to prevent engine oil from splashin g on worker, engine components and vehicle.
• Do not allow engine oil to get on rubber compon ents such as drive belts or engine mount insula-
tors. Immediately wipe off any splashed engine oil.
5. Clean oil groove between oil strainer and IVT control solenoid valve if engine oil does not come out from IVT control valve cover oil hole. Refer to LU-7, "
Schematic".
6. Remove components between IVT control solenoid va lve and camshaft sprocket (INT), and then check
each oil groove for clogging.
• Clean oil groove if necessary.
7. After inspection, installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.

CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up the engine thoroughly. Then stop the engine.
2. Release the fuel pressure. Refer to EC-80, "
Fuel Pressure Check".
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is not used to release fuel pressure leave the fu el pump fuse disconnected until
step 7.
3. Remove the spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-29, "
Removal and Installation".
4. Connect the engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-II).
5. Install the compression tester with Tool into the spark plug hole.
6. With the accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn the ignition switch to “START” for cranking. When the gauge pointer stabi-
lizes, read the compression pressure and engine rpm. Perform
these steps to check each cylinder.
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2, psi) /rpm
CAUTION:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain specified engine speed.
• If the engine speed is out of the specified range, che ck the battery liquid for proper gravity. Check the
engine speed again with normal battery gravity.
• If the compression pressure is below the minimum value, check the valve clearances and parts associ- ated with the combustion chamber (valve, valve seat , piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head,
cylinder head gasket). After checking, measure the compression pressure again.
• If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour a small amount of engine oil into the spark plug hole of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
- If the added engine oil improves the compression, t he piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check
the piston rings and replace if necessary.
- If the compression pressure remains at a low level despite the addition of engine oil, the valves may be
malfunctioning. Check the valves for damage. R eplace the valve or valve seat accordingly.
• If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low co mpression pressure and their compression remains
low even after the addition of engine oil, the gaskets may be leaking, or a valve in adjacent cylinders
may be damaged. Inspect and repair as required.
7. Install the components in the reverse order of removal.
8. Start the engine and confirm that it runs smoothly.
9. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-32

crankshaft and drive plate for alignment during installation.
b. Remove the drive plate.
• Holding the crankshaft pulley bolt, lock the crankshaft to remove the drive plate bolts.
• Loosen the bolts diagonally.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage the drive plate. Especially
avoid deforming and damaging of the signal plate teeth
(circumference position).
• Place the drive plate with the signal plate surface facing
other than downward.
• Keep magnetic materials away from the signal plate.
CAUTION:
Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately 240kg (529 lb) or more] large enough
for supporting the engine weight.
• If the load capacity of the stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to
reduce the potential risk of overturning the stand.
- Remove the fuel tube and fuel injector assembly. Refer to EM-31, "
Removal and Installation".
