Engine control systemEFI systemOn-vehicle inspection1. Inspection of the voltage of power steering oil pres-
sure sensorMeasure the voltage between PS terminal and E2 terminal
with ohmmeter2. Inspection of stepping motor(a) With engine running at idle speed, pull out the connection harness of stepping motor, and the change
of engine rotating speed indicates that the stepping motor operates normally.
(b) Pull out the connection harness of stepping motor, and measure the terminal current with universal
meter. When engine is running, there being impulse current output at the terminal indicates that there
is no trouble with ECU and stepping motor control system, and if idling is not stable at the moment
and deviates greatly from specified value, the stepping motor should be replaced. If there is no
impulse current output at the terminal, turn on air conditioner to test again, and still no impulse
current output indicates that there is trouble with ECU and stepping motor control system circuit.
(c) Check the malfunction of stepping motor circuit with diagnostic instrument.Engine control system·- EFI system 8Conditions Voltage (V) Not turning steering wheel with

FuelFuel systemPrecautions1. Before repairing fuel system, uncouple battery negative (-) wire at first.
2. When operating on fuel system, do not smoke or repair near fire area.
3. Do not let gasoline come into contact with rubber or leather parts.
4. Take measures to prevent gasoline leaking.(a) Uncouple electric fuel pump joint.
(b) Start engine and turn ignition switch to LOCK position
after the engine flames out.
(c) Uncouple battery negative (-) wire.
(d) Couple electric fuel pump joint.5. Fuel system(a) There will be a great amount of gasoline flowing out
when disassembling high-pressure fuel pipe,
therefore, it is required to observe the following
procedures.
(1) Take measures to prevent gasoline leaking.
(2) Disassemble fuel pipe.
(3) Completely discharge the oil in fuel pipe.
(4) Cover the fuel pipe with plastic bag to avoid pipe
damage and foreign matters entering.
(5) Place a container under the joint.
(b) When removing and installing injection nozzle, always
observe the following precautions.Fuel-Fuel system 14

Fuel-Fuel system(1) It is not allowed to use o-ring repeatedly.
(2) When installing o-ring, always be careful to avoid dam-
aging o-ring.
(3) Before installing, coat o-ring with spindle oil or gasoline.
It is not allowed to coat with engine oil, gear oil or
brake fluid.
(c) As shown in the diagram, install injection nozzle to oil feed
pipe and cylinder head.
Before installing, ensure that spindle oil and gasoline are
coated at the contact position between o-ring and oil feed
pipe.
(d) When disassembling oil feed pipe, always observe the fol-
lowing precautions.
(1) Remove oil feed pipe clips.
(2) Remove oil feed hose.
(3) Cover oil inlet of fuel distribution pipe with plastic bag
to avoid foreign materials entering the fuel distribution
pipe.injection nozzle6. Inspection of fuel leakage(1) After completing maintenance, check there is leakage with the whole fuel system.
(2) Connect hand-held tester to diagnostic joint.
(3) Turn ignition switch to ON and turn main switch of hand-held tester to ON.
(4) Switch hand-held tester to function test state.
(5) For further details, please see hand-held tester operating instruction.
(6) If there is no hand-held tester, connect battery anode and cathode to electric fuel pump joint.
(7) Ensure that there is no leakage with all parts of electric fuel pump.
(8) Turn ignition switch to LOCK.
(9) Disassemble hand-held tester from diagnostic interface joint.15o-ringoil feed pipeoil feed pipeo-ringwasherCorrect

2. Remove engine plastic hood components.
3. Uncouple engine wire harness [4G18-3724100].(a) Remove injection nozzle joint.
(b) Remove exhaust gas hose.4. Remove fuel pipe assembly(a) Loosen oil feed hose clips.
(b) Pull oil feed hose away from fuse distribution pipe.
Notes:zCheck there is dirt on fuel pipe and its joint before removing, and clean it off in the case of dirt.zIt is only allowed to remove with hands.zCheck there are foreign matters with the removed fuel pipe seal surface, and clean them off in the
case of foreign matters.zCover the fuel pipe with plastic bag to avoid pipe damage and foreign matters entering.5. Remove fuel pipe assemblyRemove 2 bolts and oil feed pipe (together with injection nozzle).6. Remove injection nozzle components.Pull out 4 injection nozzles from oil feed pipe.7. Install injection nozzle components.Coat a thin layer of gasoline on o-ring and rotate left and right to push injection nozzle into oil feed pipe.
Notes:
zBe careful not to rotate o-ring.
zCheck injection nozzle could rotate smoothly after it is installed, and if not replace with new o-ring.8. Install fuel hose assembly.Install fuel hose to oil feed pipe.
Notes:
zCheck there are damage or foreign matters in the binding site of fuel pipe.
zAfter installing, pull the fuel pump with hands to check the fuel pipe is bound firmly with joint. 18

Exhaust gas controlExhaust gas control systemOn-vehicle inspection1. Check oxygen sensor.(a) Let the engine run at idle speed for 3 minutes to ensure oxygen sensor reaches operating tempera-
ture of 350(b) Place digital universal meter at DC voltage gear, and connect 2 terminals respectively to (gray) pin
and (black) pin of sensor, and voltage should fluctuate
quickly between 0.1-0.9V at the moment.
Warning:Perform inspection immediately after warming
up vehicle.If voltage change could not be confirmed,
it is necessary to heat oxygen sensor again.Exhaust gas control - Exhaust gas control system2. Check rotating speed after fuel cut off.(a) Accelerate engine at least to 3500rpm.
(b) Check the operating noise of injection nozzle with listening device.
(c) When throttle is released, check the operating noise of injection nozzle recovers after stop.3. Check fuel evaporation exhaust control system.(a) Check the pipe clamps of connecting pipeline between
charcoal canister and carbon canister solenoid valve are
firmly clipped and check there is leakage.
(b) Check there is trouble with fuel evaporation exhaust con-
trol system with failure diagnostic instrument.4. Visually check hose, joint and hot fin.Check cracks, leakage and damage.
Hint: the disconnecting of engine oil level gauge, oil opening
cover and PCV hose may cause running failure of engine.
The cracks, looseness and not connecting at the intake
system between throttle and cylinder head will result in
redundant air entering and running failure of engine.23
