ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Checking Drive BeltsINFOID:0000000004215528
WARNING:
Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.
1. Remove air duct and resonator assembly when inspecting drive belt.
2. Make sure that indicator (single line notch) of each auto tensioner is within the allowable working range“A” (between three line notches) as shown.
NOTE:
• Check the drive belt auto tensioner indication when the engine is cold.
• The indicator notch is located on the moving side of the drive belt auto tensioner.
3. Visually check entire belt for wear, damage or cracks.
4. If the indicator is out of allowable working range or belt is damaged, replace the belt. Refer to MA-14
.
DRIVE BELT TENSION
There is no manual drive belt tension adjustment. The driv e belt tension is automatically adjusted by the drive
belt auto tensioner.
Changing Engine CoolantINFOID:0000000004215534
WARNING:
• To avoid being scalded, never change the coolant when the engine is hot.
• Wrap a thick cloth around the cap to carefully remove the cap. First, turn the cap a quarter of a turn
to release any built-up pressure, th en push down and turn the cap all the way to remove it.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Turn ignition switch ON and set temperature control lever all the way to HOT position or the highest tem-
perature position. Wait 10 seconds and turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Remove the engine front undercover using power tool.
1. Drive belt 2. Power steering pump pulley 3. Generator pulley
4. Crankshaft pulley 5. A/C compressor6. Idler pulley
7. Cooling fan pulley 8. Water pump pulley 9. Drive belt auto tensioner
A. Allowable working range

TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY
 When installing transmission to the engine, attach the bolts in theorder as shown.
CAUTION:
 When replacing an engine or transmission you must make
sure the dowels are installe d correctly during re-assembly.
 Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause
vibration, oil leaks or breakage of drivetrain components.
NOTE:
*: No.2 bolt also secures air breather vent.
 Align the positions of bolts for drive plate with those of the torque converter, and temporarily tight en the bolts. Then tighten the bolts
with the specified torque. Refer to TM-214, "Removal and Installa-
tion (2WD)".
CAUTION:
 When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from
the front of the engine.
 After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be su re that transmission rotates
freely without binding.
 Install crankshaft position sensor (POS).
 After completing installation check fluid leakage, fluid level and the positions of A/T. Refer to TM-179, "Checking the A/T Fluid (ATF)"
, TM-195, "Checking of A/T Position" and
TM-195, "Adjustment of A/T Position"
