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
engine at idle speed Turning steering wheel with
engine at idle speed 0-1.5

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

Engine mechanism - Valve clearanceValve clearanceAdjustment1. Remove engine plastic hood components.
2. Remove ignition coil components [4G18-3705110].
3. Remove cylinder head cover components [4G18-
1003130].
4. Remove engine right bottom shield.
5. Turn crankshaft to cylinder 1 compression top dead
center position.(a) Turn crankshaft pulley to align its groove with “o” mark on
timing chain hood.
(b) Check dot marks on camshaft timing sprocket and VVT
timing sprocket, and they should be in a line on timing chain
hood surface as shown in the diagram.
Hint: if not, turn crankshaft for one circle again
and align the above marks.6. Check valve clearance.(a) Only check the valves shown in the diagram.
(1) Measure the clearance between valve tappet and cam-
shaft with plug gauge.
(2) Record valve clearance measuring value exceeding
specification, and this value will be used to determine
valve tappet thickness that needs change.
Valve clearance (cold vehicle)Intake airExhaust(b) Turn crankshaft for one circle ), and cylinder 4 is
turned to compression top dead center position.
(c) Only check the valves shown in the diagram. Measure valve
clearance (see step (a)).7. Remove drive beltSlowly turn drive belt tensioner clockwise to loosen it.
Then remove drive belt and put back drive belt tensioner slowly
and gently. 30 Mark

LubricationLubricating systemOn-vehicle inspection1. Check oil level.During engine warming up and after it flames out for 5 minutes, check oil level, and the level should
be between two marks on oil dipstick at the moment.If oil level is too low, check there is leakage, and
refill oil up to upper mark on oil dipstick.
Note: oil level should not be above upper mark on oil
dipstick.2. Check oil quality.(a) Check there is deterioration, water penetration, color
change or thinning with oil.
(b) If oil quality becomes poor, please replace with new oil.
Hint: oil grades: API, SH, SJ, SG grade oil or ILSAC
multigrade oil. Recommended viscosity is
shown as below.
The temperature increases from left to right.3. Remove oil pressure alerter assembly.(a) Uncouple oil pressure alerter joint.
(b) Install oil pressure alerter with special tool.4. Install oil pressure gauge.Install oil pressure gauge.5. Warm up vehicle.
6. Check oil pressure.Oil pressure:7. Install oil pressure alerter.(a) Coat adhesive on 2nd or 3rd circle thread of oil pressure
alerter.
Adhesive: anaerobic pipe thread sealing adhesive
1545 (Kesaixin 1545).
(b) Install oil pressure alerter with special tool.

Drive shaft--Front drive shaftFront drive shaftOverhaulHint: overhaul procedure for right side is same as the left
side.1. Check the drive shaft (referring to page 111).
2. Discharge the oil in gearbox.(a) Disassemble oil plug and gasket to discharge the oil in
gearbox.
(b) Change with a new gasket and assemble oil discharging
plug.
Torque: 45

± 5 N·m3. Disassemble front wheels.
4. Disassemble fixing nut of drive shaft [64000083](a) Use special tool and hammer to unclench the concave part
of fixing nut.
(b) Disassemble the fixing nut.5. Disassemble speed sensor assembly of left front
wheels (equipping with ABS) [67000020](a) Disassemble the bolt, and disassemble sensor wiring har-
ness and brake hose from the absorber.
(b) Disassemble the bolt, and disassemble speed sensor from
steering knuckle.special
