into tank pipe (3).
If any faulty condition is found in this inspection,
replace EVAP canister.
EGR Valve Removal and InstallationS7RS0B1206007
Removal
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Remove air intake pipe.
3) Remove EGR pipe.
4) Disconnect EGR valve connector.
5) Remove EGR valve and gasket from cylinder head.
Installation
Reverse removal procedure noting the following.
• Clean mating surface of valve and cylinder head.
• Use new gaskets.
EGR Valve InspectionS7RS0B1206008
1) Check resistance between following terminals of EGR valve (1) in each pair.
If found faulty, replace EGR valve assembly.
EGR valve resistance (A – B, C – B, F – E, D – E
terminal)
20 – 24 Ω
2) Remove carbon from EGR valve gas passage.
CAUTION!
Do not use any sharp-edged tool to remove
carbon.
Be careful not to damage or bend EGR valve
(1), valve seat (3) and rod.

3) Inspect valve (2), valve seat and rod for fault, cracks, bend or other damage.
If found faulty, replace EGR valve assembly.
PCV Hose InspectionS7RS0B1206009
NOTE
Be sure to check that there is no obstruction
in PCV valve or its hoses before checking
IAC duty, for obstructed PCV valve or hose
hampers its accurate adjustment.

Check hoses for connection, leakage, clog and
deterioration.
Replace as necessary.

so that cylinder head cover gasket or spark
plug hole gaskets will not get out of place or
fall off.

4) Tighten cylinder head cover bolts as follows.
a) Tighten cylinder head cover bolts to 3 N ⋅m (0.3
kgf-m, 2.5 lb-ft) according to numerical order (“1”
through “7”) as shown in figure.
b) In the same manner as in Step, a) tighten them
to 5 N ⋅m (0.5 kgf-m, 4.0 lb-ft).
c) Retighten them by turning through 8 N ⋅m (0.8
kgf-m, 6.0 lb-ft) in same manner as Step a).
Tightening torque
Cylinder head cover bolt (a): Tighten 3 N ⋅m (0.3
kgf-m, 2.5 lb-ft), 5 N ⋅m (0.5 kgf-m, 4.0 lb-ft) and 8
N ⋅m (0.8 kgf-m, 6.0 lb-ft) by the specified
procedure
5) Connect PCV hose (2) to PCV valve (3).
6) Connect breather hose (4).
7) Install oil level gauge (1).
8) Install wire harness clamp to cylinder head cover.
