2007 KIA CARNIVAL battery

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
Compression pressure inspection
If the there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel economy, measure the compression
pressure.
1. Warm up the engine until the normal operating temperature becoming 80~95°C(176~203°F).
2. Remove the surge tank.
3. Remove the ignition coil connectors(B) and ignition coils.
4.Using a 16mm plug wrench, remove the 6 spark plugs.
5. Check cylinder compression pressure.
(1) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
(2) Open the throttle fully.
(3) With the fully - open throttle in cranking, measure the compression pressure.
Always use a fully charged battery to get the engine speed of 250 rpm or more.
Repeat steps 1) through 3) for each cylinder.
This measurement must be done in as short a time as possible.
Compression pressure: 1,176.79kPa (12.0kgf/cm², 170.68psi) - 200 ~ 250rpm
Minimum pressure: 1,029.69kPa (10.5kgf/cm², 149.34psi)
Difference between cylinders: 98.07kPa (1.0kgf/cm², 14.22psi)
(4) If the compression pressure in 1 or more cylinders is lower than the specification above, pour a small amount
of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole, repeat the steps (1) through (3) for the cylinder and
measure the pressure again.
a. If adding oil increases the pressure up, the piston rings or cylinder bores might be worn or damaged.
b. If the pressure doesn't increase, a valve may be sticking or seating may be improper, or there may be
leakage from the gasket.
6. Reinstall the spark plugs.
7. Install the ignition coils and connect ignition coil connectors.
8. Install the surge tank.
VALVE CLEARANCE INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
Inspect and adjust the valve clearance when the engine is cold (Engine coolant temperature : 20°C
±5°C(59~77°F)) and cylinder head is installed on the cylinder block.

REMOVAL
a.Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
b. To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the engine coolant temperature drops below normal
temperature before removing it.
c. When handling a metal gasket, take care not to fold the gasket or damage the contact surface of the gasket.
d. To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.
a.Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
b. Turn the crankshaft pulley so that the No. 1 piston is at top dead center.
1. Remove the air duct and the battery(A) after disconnecting the terminals(B) from the battery.
2.Remove the engine cover.
3. Remove the intake air hose and air cleaner assembly.
(1) Disconnect the MAF connector(A).
(2) Disconnect the breather hose(B) from air cleaner hose.
(3) Remove the intake air hose and air cleaner assembly(C).
4.Remove the upper radiator hose(A) and lower radiator hose(B).

REMOVAL
a.Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
b. To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.
a.Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
1. Remove the engine cover.
2. Disconnect the neagative terminal from the battery and remove the battery(A).
3.Remove the intake air hose and air cleaner assembly.
(1) Disconnect the MAF connector(A).
(2) Disconnect the breather hose(B) from air cleaner hose.
(3) Remove the intake air hose and air cleaner assembly(C).
4.Remove the battery tray(A).

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Perform the following :a. Adjust the shift cable.
b. Refill the engine with engine oil.
c. Refill the transaxle with fluid.
d. Refill the radiator with engine coolant.
e. Bleed air from the cooling system with the heater valve open.
f. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper assemble them, then apply grease to prevent
corrosion.
g. Inspect for fuel leakage.
After assembling the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for
approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.
Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.

THE MICRO 570 ANALYZER
The MICRO 570 Analyzer provides the ability to test the charging and starting systems, including the battery, starter
and generator.
Because of the possibility of personal injury, always use extreme caution and appropriate eye protection when
working with batteries.
KEYPAD
The MICRO570 button on the key pad provides the following functions :
BATTERY TEST PROCEDURE
1.Connect the tester to the battery.
a. Red clamp to battery positive (+) terminal.
b. Black clamp to battery negative ( - ) terminal.
Connect clamps securely. If "CHECK CONNECTION" message is displayed on the screen, reconnect clamps
securely.

2.The tester will ask if the battery is connected "IN A VEHICLE" or "OUT OF A VEHICLE". Make your selection by
pressing the arrow buttons; then press ENTER.
3.Choose either CCA or CCP and press the ENTER button.
a.CCA : Cold cranking amps, is an SAE specification for cranking batteries at - 18°C (0°F).
b. CCP : Cold cranking amps, is an SAE specification for korean manufacturer's for cranking batteries at -
18°C (0°F).
4. Set the CCA value displayed on the screen to the CCA value marked on the battery label by pressing up and
down buttons and press ENTER.
The battery ratings(CCA) displayed on the tester must be identical to the ratings marked on battery label.
5. The tester (Micro570) displays battery test results including voltage and battery ratings.
A relevant action must be given according to the test results by referring to the battery test results as shown in the
table below.

The battery ratings (CCA) displayed on the tester must be identical to the ratings marked on battery label.
6. To conduct starter test, press ENTER.
