INSPECTION
WARNING:
Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.
1. Inspect drive belt for cracks, fraying, wear and oil. Replace drive belt if necessary.
2. Manually evaluate the drive belt tension (tension cannot be measured using frequency meter).
3. Replace drive belt when tension is beyond normal operating limit.
CAUTION:
Auto-tensioner must be replaced with a new one when the belt is replaced.
ADJUSTMENT
Belt tensioning is not necessary, as it is automatically adjusted by auto-tensioner.
ENGINE COOLANT
ENGINE COOLANT : InspectionINFOID:0000000001730880
LEVEL CHECK
 Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the “MIN”
to “MAX” range when engine is cool.
 Adjust the engine coolant level as necessary.

4. Start engine without closing reservoir tank cap and keep engine racing at 1,500 rpm for about 2-3 minutes.
If necessary, pour engine coolant up to MAX level.
If coolant overflows reservoir tank hole, install filler cap.
Watch engine coolant temperature gauge so as not overheat the engine.
WARNING:
 Be careful not to be scaled with hot engine coolant or vacuum pump when operating.
 Radiator fan blade can start at any time and cause personal injuries.
5. Turn off the engine and loosen air relief plug until coolant spills from air relief hole.
6. Close the air relief plug and run the engine at 2,000 rpm until the upper hose becomes hot and radiator
fan operates. Leave the engine running approximately 5 minutes at idle speed and check for sound of
coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000 rpm.
 Sound may be noticeable at heater water cock.
7. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating steps 4 to 6 until coolant level no longer
drops.
 Check the radiator lower hose for any signs of leakage.
8. Turn off the engine and let it cool down.
 Cool down using a fan to reduce the time.
9. After cooling period, loosen the air relief plug and check if coolant spills from the air relief hole. if not,
remove the air relief plug until the coolant spills, and then close the relief air plug. Bleed air from cooling
system by repeating steps 6 to 10 until the coolant spills immediately.
10. Check the engine coolant level when engine is cool and refill to MAX level line if the level is lower.
 Clean excess coolant from engine.
11. Check that the reservoir tank cap is tightened.
ENGINE COOLANT : FlushingINFOID:0000000001730883
1. Install reservoir tank if removed.
If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-314, "
Exploded
View".
2. Fill reservoir tank with water until water spills from the air relief hole, then close air relief plug. Reinstall
reservoir tank cap.
3. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
5. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
6. Drain water.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
8. Blow compressed air into cooling circuit through the reservoir tank valve hole to drain all the water.
RADIATOR
RADIATOR : Checking Radiator CapINFOID:0000000001730884
 Check valve seat of radiator cap.
- Check if valve seat is swollen to the extent that the edge of the
plunger cannot be seen when watching it vertically from the top.
- Check if valve seat has no soil and damage.

ENGINE OIL : InspectionINFOID:0000000001730878
OIL LEVEL AND MUDDINESS
 Before starting the engine, check the oil level placing the vehicle
on a level surface. If the engine is already started, stop it and allow
10 minutes before checking.
 Make sure the oil level is within the range shown.
 If it is out of range, adjust it.
 Check the oil for white turbidity or remarkable contamination.
 If the oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is
contaminated with coolant. Find the cause and repair.
OIL LEAKAGE
Check for oil leakage around the following area.
Oil pan
 Oil pan drain plug
 Oil pressure switch
 Oil filter bracket
 Vacuum pump
 Oil pump housing
 Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
 Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
 Oil cooler
 Crankshaft oil seals
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
 Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
 Oil pressure check should be done in Neutral “N” position.
1. Check the engine oil level.
2. Remove engine undercover using power tool.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector (A) and remove the oil pres-
sure switch (1) to connect the oil pressure gauge [SST:
KV113E0020 (Mot. 836-05)].
4. After warming up the engine, make sure oil pressure corre-
sponding to the engine speed is produced.
5. After checking, install the oil pressure switch (1) as follows.
a. Remove old sealant adhering to the oil pressure switch (1) and
engine.
b. Apply thread sealant.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
6. Start engine and check for oil leakage.
