torque specification .....................................1.8 – 2.2 Nm
2 Tighten the air intake duct retaining clamp screw to the correct torque specification. Air intake duct retaining clamp
torque specification .....................................1.8 – 2.5 Nm
3 Start the engine and check for any air leaks between the air intake duct, the MAF and the upper air cleaner housing.

Inspect
The following throttle body inspection procedure may be carried out with the throttle body installed on the vehicle. Prior to
performing a throttle body on-vehicle inspection:
• Turn the ignition switch off.
• Disconnect the throttle body wiring harness connector. Refer to Remove in this Section.
• Remove the air intake duct, refer to 2.16 Intake Air Duct Assembly.
To avoid serious personal injury, never
attempt to rotate the throttle plate manually
whilst the throttle body harness connector is
connected to the throttle body.
1 Fully open the throttle plate by hand and inspect the throttle body bore and throttle plate for any deposits.
When cleaning / inspecting the throttle body:
• Do not subject the throttle body assembly
to an immersion cleaner or a strong
solvent. Damage to the throttle position
sensor and / or sealed throttle shaft
bearings will result.
• Never use a wire brush or scraper to clean
the throttle body. A wire brush or sharp
tool may damage the throttle body
components.
2 Use a clean shop towel and a spray type hydro-carbon cleaner to clean the throttle body bore and throttle plate. If necessary, use a parts cleaning brush to remove heavy deposits.
3 Inspect the throttle body for a binding throttle plate by fully opening and closing the throttle plate by hand. It should open and close smoothly.
4 Inspect the throttle body for a bent or damaged throttle plate, cracks, corrosion, or distortion in the throttle body housing.
NOTE
The throttle body contains no serviceable parts
and should not be disassembled. If the throttle
body is damaged it must be replaced as an
assembly.
5 If the throttle body is affected by any of the above conditions, it must be replaced.
6 If an on-vehicle throttle body inspection was performed, perform the following:
• Reinstall the air intake duct, refer to 2.16 Intake Air Duct Assembly.
• Reconnect the throttle body wiring harness connector, refer to Reinstall in this Section.
• Road test the vehicle and check for correct operation, taking particular note that no air leaks are evident.
Reinstall
Reinstallation of the throttle body assembly is the reverse of the removal procedure, noting the following:
1 Ensure the throttle body and upper intake manifold mating surfaces are clean and free of foreign material.
2 Install a new throttle body to upper intake manifold gasket.

Throttle body assembly attaching bolt
torque specification ...................................8.0 – 12.0 Nm
After reinstalling the wiring harness
connector, ensure the connector latch (1) and
connector lock (2) have fully engaged.
4 Reinstall the wiring harness connector to the throttle body, ensuring the connector latch and connector slide
have fully engaged.
5 Ensure the wiring harness is correctly routed and attached securely in the throttle body harness
retaining clip (3).

3.3 On-vehicle Testing
Generator On-vehicle Checks
Prerequisites
Before testing the generator output, ensure that:
• all generator circuit connections are clean and tight,
• the generator is always connected to the battery during testing (to prevent damage to the diodes),
• the battery is fully charged, and
• the specific gravity does not vary more than 0.025 between cells. (It is recommended the average specific gravity
is 1.260 or higher). Refer to 6D1-3 Battery – V6.
Carry out a load test on the battery to determine its ability to supply and accept current. This is a good indicator of the
general condition of the battery. For details of battery testing, refer to 6D1-3 Battery – V6.
Inspect the drive belt and tensioner markings to determine if the drive belt is within operating limits. Replace the belt if it
is excessively worn or outside the operating range of the tensioner.
For further details, refer to 6A1 Engine Mechanical – V6.
Generator Test
Regulating Voltage Test
NOTE
Leave the generator E-4 wiring harness
connector connected, as it provides initial field
excitation.
1 Ensure the ignition switch is in the OFF position and all electrical equipment is turned off.
Refer to 1.2 WARNING, CAUTION and
NOTES before disconnecting the battery.
2 Disconnect the battery ground cable P-5 at the battery.
3 Disconnect the generator positive lead P-9 from the generator . Connect the positive lead of a multimeter
set to measure current (1) to P-9 (2).
4 Connect that multimeter’s negative lead to the disconnected generator positive lead (3).
5 Connect the positive lead of a multimeter set to measure voltage (4) to P-9 (5).
6 Connect that multimeter’s negative lead to a good ground connection on the generator housing (6).
Insulate the terminal of the generator
positive lead P-9 to prevent contact with any
metal part of the vehicle. If the terminal is
grounded, damage to the charging circuit
can result when the battery is reconnected.
