THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CHECK
1. Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
2. Measure the resistance between the throttle position
sensor side connector terminal No. 1 and terminal No.
4.
Standard value: 3.5 - 6.5 kΩ
3. Measure the resistance between the throttle position
sensor side connector terminal No. 2 and terminal No.
4.
Normal condition:
Throttle valve slowly open
until fully open from the idle
positionChanges smoothly in
proportion to the opening
angle of the throttle valve
4. If the resistance is outside the standard value, or if it
doesn’t change smoothly, replace the throttle position
sensor.
NOTE
For the throttle position sensor adjustment procedure,
refer to P.13A-90.
OXYGEN SENSOR CHECK
1. Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector and connect
the special tool (test harness: MB998464) to the connector
on the oxygen sensor side.
2. Make sure that there is continuity (4.5 - 8.0Ωat 20_C)
between terminal No. 1 and terminal No. 3 on the oxygen
sensor connector.
3. If there is no continuity, replace the oxygen sensor.
4. Warm up the engine until engine coolant is 80_C or higher.

ENGINE COOLING -GeneralInformation/
Service Specifications/Lubricant/Sealant14-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
The cooling system is designed to keep every part
of the engine at appropriate temperature in
whatever condition the engine may be operated.
The cooling method is of the water-cooled, pressure
forced circulation type in which the water pump
pressurizes coolant and circulates it throughout the
engine. If the coolant temperature exceeds the
prescribed temperature, the thermostat opens to
circulate the coolant through the radiator as well
so that the heat absorbed by the coolant may be
radiated into the air.The water pump is of the centrifugal type and is
driven by the drive belt from the crankshaft.
The radiator is the corrugated fin, down flow type.
The cooling fan is controlled by the radiator fan
controller and engine-ECU depend on driving
conditions.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
"AATHERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
Install the thermostat being careful not to fold over or scratch
the rubber ring.
Caution
Make absolutely sure that no oil is adhering to the rubber
ring of the thermostat. In addition, be careful not to fold
over or scratch the rubber ring when inserting. If the
rubber ring is damage, replace the thermostat.
"BARADIATOR UPPER HOSE CONNECTION
1. Insert each hose as far as the projection of the water
outlet fitting.
2. Align the mating marks on the radiator hose and hose
clamp, and then connect the radiator hose.
INSPECTION
THERMOSTAT CHECK
1. Immerse the thermostat in water, and heat the water while
stirring. Check the thermostat valve opening temperature.
Standard value:
Valve opening temperature: 80±1.5_C
2. Check that the amount of valve lift is at the standard value
when the water is at the full-opening temperature.
Standard value:
Full-opening temperature: 93_C
Amount of valve lift: 9.5 mm or more
NOTE
Measure the valve height when the thermostat is fully
closed, and use this measurement to calculate the valve
height when the thermostat is fully open.

INTAKE AND EXHAUST -General Information15-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
SUPERCHARGING PRESSURE CONTROL
By controlling the duty of the waste gate solenoid valve, the waste gate actuator functions to control the supercharging
pressure. This allows a supercharged pressure matching the engine operation state to be attained. Control is carried
out to prevent excessive supercharging and thereby prevent engine damage.
SECONDARY AIR CONTROL
When decelerating during high-speed travel, the secondary air is introduced into the upstream of the turbocharger
to prevent the turbine speed from dropping and to increase the acceleration responsiveness after deceleration.
The secondary air is introduced into each cylinder of the exhaust manifold to maximize the effect.

TURBOCHARGER SUPERCHARGING
PRESSURE CHECK
Caution
Two persons should be in the vehicle when the test is
conducted; the person in the passenger seat should read
the indications shown by the pressure meter.
1. Disconnect the hose (black) from the turbocharger waste
gate solenoid valve, and connect the pressure gauge
to the hose. Plug the nipple of the solenoid valve from
which the hose (black) has been disconnected.
2. Drive at full-throttle acceleration in second gear and then
measure the supercharging pressure when the engine
speed in about 3,000 r/min.
Standard value: 59 – 84 kPa
3. If the supercharging pressure deviates from the standard
value, check the following items for possible cause.
