INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART
*: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
If the engine speed is above 1,800 rpm under no load (for example, the shift position is neutral and engine
speed over is 1,800 rpm) fuel will be cut off after some time. The exact time when the fuel is cut off varies
based on engine speed.
Fuel cut will be operated until the engine speed reaches 1,500 rpm, then fuel cut will be cancelled.

This function is different from deceleration control listed under EC-28, "System Description"

PRECAUTIONS
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of a ll control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Drain Engine CoolantINFOID:0000000005885850
Drain engine coolant when engine is cooled.
Precaution for Disconnecting Fuel PipingINFOID:0000000005885851
• Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.
• Release fuel pressure before disconnecting and disassembly.
• After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precaution for Removal and DisassemblyINFOID:0000000005885852
• When instructed to use special service tools, use the s pecified tools. Always be careful to work safely, avoid
forceful or uninstructed operations.
• Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.
• Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.
• Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organi zed way for easy troubleshooting and assembly.
• When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified. Power tools may be used
where noted in the step.
Precaution for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementINFOID:0000000005885853
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precaution for Assembly and InstallationINFOID:0000000005885854
• Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.
• When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with theones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is specified,
do exactly as specified.
• Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
• Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check engine oil or engine coolant passages for any restriction and blockage.
• Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust. Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.
• Release air within route when refilling after draining engine coolant.
• Before starting engine, apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then make sure that there are no leaks at fuel line connections.
• After repairing, start engine and increase engine s peed to check engine coolant, fuel, oil, and exhaust sys-
tems for leakage.
Parts Requiring Angular TighteningINFOID:0000000005885855
• For final tightening of the following engine parts use Tool:
- Cylinder head bolts
- Main bearing cap bolts
- Connecting rod cap bolts
- Crankshaft pulley bolt (No angle wrench is required as the bolt flange is provided with notches for angle tightening)
• Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
• The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
• Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and lightly coated with engine oil. Tool number : KV10112100 (BT-8653-A)

Precaution for Liquid GasketINFOID:0000000005885856
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING
• After removing the bolts and nuts, separate the mating surface and
remove the old liquid gasket sealing using Tool.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the mating surfaces.
• Tap the seal cutter to insert it (1).
• In areas where the Tool is difficult to use, lightly tap to slide it (2).
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the gasket application surface and the mating surface using suitable tool.
• Remove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the
liquid gasket application surface, bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces and remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign material.
3. Attach the liquid gasket tube to the Tool. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-15, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
4. Apply the liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location.
• If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply theliquid gasket to the groove.
• As for the bolt holes, normally apply the liquid gasket inside
the holes. If specified in the procedure, it should also be
applied outside the holes.
• Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.
• If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
• Do not retighten after the installation.
• Wait 30 minutes or more after installation before refilling the engine with engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe them.
