GENERAL -How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points00-10
HOW TO USE THE INSPECTION PROCEDURES
The causes of a high frequency of problems occurring in electronic circuitry are generally the connectors,
components, the ECU and the harnesses between connectors, in that order. These inspection procedures
follow this order, and they first try to discover a problem with a connector or a defective component.

3. Detailed inspection procedures (methods)
such as component inspection and circuit
inspection are listed on a separate page, and
are given here for reference.
5. Inspect the contact condition at each connector terminal.
(Refer to Connector Inspection Service Points.)
The connector position can be located in the wiring diagram in the
electrical wiring manual by means of this symbol.
Caution
After carrying out connector inspection, always be sure to
reconnect the connector as it was before.
6. Confirm that there are trouble symptoms. If trouble symptoms have
disappeared, the connector may have been inserted incorrectly and the
trouble symptom may have disappeared during inspection.
If it seems that trouble symptoms still remain, proceed to the next page of
instructions.
7. If trouble symptoms still remain up to this stage, there is a possibility that there is an
open or short circuit in the harness between the connectors, so check the harness.
Alternatively, the cause may be a defective ECU, so try replacing the ECU and check
if the trouble symptom disappears.

HARNESS INSPECTION
Check for an open or short circuit in the harness between the terminals which were defective according
to the connector measurements. Carry out this inspection while referring to the electrical wiring manual.
Here, “Check harness between power supply and terminal xx” also includes checking for blown fuses.
For inspection service points when there is a blown fuse, refer to “Inspection Service Points for a Blown
Fuse.”
MEASURES TO TAKE AFTER REPLACING THE ECU
If the trouble symptoms have not disappeared even after replacing the ECU, repeat the inspection procedure
from the beginning.

GENERAL -Support Locations for Lifting and Jacking00-26
PLATE TYPE LIFT
To avoid damaging the side sill garnish, put a wooden block between the side sill and a lift.
NOTE
The wooden block should be 100 mm wide and 50 mm high.
SUPPORT POSITIONS AND SUPPORT METHOD
FOR AN H-BAR LIFT
Caution
When service procedures require removing the rear
suspension, fuel tank, spare tyre and rear bumper, place
additional weight on rear end of vehicle or anchor vehicle
to hoist to prevent tipping of centre of gravity changes.
When H-bar lift is used to lift up vehicles, use of metallic
attachment attached to the H-bar lift may cause damage
to the suspension arm etc. Therefore, lift up the vehicle by
the following procedure.
1. Place the vehicle on the H-bar lift (same direction).
2. Place attachments on the H-bar lift at the designated
chassis-support positions. When making the attachments,
refer to the section concerning making them.
Caution
If support is at any location other than the designated
positions, the body or suspension might be deformed
or otherwise damaged, so care should be taken to
support only at the correct (designated) positions.
3. Raise the H-bar lift to the height at which the vehicle
is slightly raised and check to be sure that the vehicle
is correctly and sufficiently secured; then raise the vehicle.

Standard value: 5_BTDC±3_
5. Run the engine at idle for 2 minutes.
6. Check the idle speed. Select item No. 22 and take a
reading of the idle speed.
Curb idle speed: 850±100 r/min
NOTE
The idle speed is controlled automatically by the idle speed
control (ISC) system.
7. If the idle speed is outside the standard value, check
the MPI components by referring to GROUP 13A -
Troubleshooting.
8. Remove the timing light.
9. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF) position
and then remove the MUT-II.
IDLE MIXTURE CHECK
1. Before inspection, set the vehicle to the pre-inspection
condition.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF) position,
and then connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector.
3. Set the timing light.
4. Check that the basic ignition timing is within the standard
value.
Standard value: 5_BTDC±3_
5. Run the engine at 2,500 r/min for 2 minutes.
6. Set the CO, HC tester.
7. Check the CO contents and the HC contents at idle.
Standard value
CO contents: 0.1% or less
HC contents: 100 ppm or less
8. If there is a deviation from the standard value, check the
following items:
DDiagnosis output
DClosed-loop control (When the closed-loop control
is normal, the output signal of the oxygen sensor
changes between 0 - 400 mV and 600 - 1,000 mV
at idle.)
DFuel pressure
DInjector
DIgnition coil, spark plug cable, spark plug
DEvaporative emission control system
DCompression pressure
NOTE
Replace the three way catalyst when the CO and HC
contents are not within the standard value, even though
the result of the inspection is normal on all items.
9. Remove the timing light.
MUT-II

ENGINE -On-vehicle Service11A-12
12. Install the ignition coils and spark plugs.
13. Use the MUT-IIto erase the self-diagnosis codes or
disconnect the battery cable from the battery ( - ) terminal
for 10 seconds or more and then reconnect the cable.
NOTE
This will erase the diagnosis code resulting from the crank
angle sensor connector being disconnected.
MANIFOLD VACUUM CHECK
1. Set the vehicle to the pre-inspection condition.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF) position.
3. Set the engine tachometer or connect the MUT-II.
4. Check that the idle speed is within the standard value.
NOTE
When using the MUT-II, select the code No.22.
5. Connect the three-way union joint to the vacuum hose
between the fuel pressure control valve and the air intake
plenum, and connect a vacuum gauge.
6. Check the manifold vacuum at idle.
Limit: 58 kPa
7. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF) position.
8. Remove the vacuum gauge and install the vacuum hose
in its original location.
9. Remove the engine tachometer or the MUT-II.
LASH ADJUSTER CHECK
If an abnormal noise (knocking) that seems to be coming
from the lash adjuster is heard after starting the engine and
does not stop, carry out the following check.
NOTE
(1) The abnormal noise which is caused by a problem
with the lash adjusters is generated after the engine
is started, and will vary according to the engine speed.
However, this noise is not related to the actual engine
load.
Because of this, if the noise does not occur
immediately after the engine is started, if it does not
change in accordance with the engine speed, or if
it changes in accordance with the engine load, the
source of the noise is not the lash adjusters.

ENGINE -On-vehicle Service11A-13
(2) If there is a problem with the lash adjusters, the noise
will almost never disappear, even if the engine has
been run at idle to let it warm up.
The only case where the noise might disappear is
if the oil in the engine has not been looked after
properly and oil sludge has caused the lash adjusters
to stick.
1. Start the engine.
2. Check that the noise occurs immediately after the engine
is started, and that the noise changes in accordance
with changes in the engine speed.
If the noise does not occur immediately after the engine
is started, or if it does not change in accordance with
the engine speed, the problem is not being caused by
the lash adjusters, so check for some other cause of
the problem. Moreover, if the noise does not change in
accordance with the engine speed, the cause of the
problem is probably not with the engine. (In these cases,
the lash adjusters are normal.)
3. While the engine is idling, check that the noise level does
not change when the engine load is varied.
If the noise level changes, the cause of the noise is
probably parts striking because of worn crankshaft
bearings or connecting rod bearings. (In such cases, the
lash adjusters are normal.)
4. After the engine has warmed up, run it at idle and check
if any noise can be heard.
If the noise has become smaller or disappeared, oil sludge
could make the lash adjusters stick. Clean the lash
adjusters. (Refer to the Engine Workshop Manual.) If not
improved, go to step 5.
5. Bleed air from the lash adjusters.
6. If the noise has not disappeared even after the air
bleeding, clean the lash adjusters.
(Refer to GROUP 11B - Rocker Arms and Camshaft.)

NOTE
(1) If the vehicle is parked on a slope for a long period
of time, the amount of oil inside the lash adjuster
will decrease, and air may get into the high pressure
chamber when starting the engine.
(2) After parking the vehicle for long periods, the oil drains
out of the oil passage, and it takes time for the oil
to be supplied to the lash adjuster, so air can get
into the high pressure chamber.
(3) If either of the above situations occur, the abnormal
noise can be eliminated by bleeding the air from inside
the lash adjusters.
