HOOD
CLEARANCE AND SURFACE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the front grille. Refer to
EXT-17, "Removal and Installation".
2. Remove the hood lock assembly and adjust the height by rotating the bumper rubber until the hood clear- ance of hood and fender becomes 1 mm (0.04 in) lower than fitting standard dimension.
3. Temporarily tighten the hood lock, and position it by engaging it with the hood striker. Check the lock and striker for looseness, and tighten the lock mounting bolt to the specified torque.
4. Adjust the clearance and surface height of hood and fender according to \
the fitting standard dimension by rotating right and left bumper rubbers.
CAUTION:
Adjust right/left gap between hood and each part to the following specification.
5. Install the front grille. Refer to EXT-17, "
Removal and Installation".
HOOD LOCK ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the front grille. Refer to EXT-17, "Removal and Installation".
2. Move the hood lock to the left or right so that striker center is vertically aligned with hood lock center (when viewed from vehicle front).
3. Make sure the secondary latch is properly engaged with the sec- ondary striker with hood's own weight by dropping it from
approx. 200 mm (7.87 in) height or by pressing it lightly approx.
3 kg (29 N, 7lb).
CAUTION:
Do not drop the hood from 300 mm (11.81 in) height or
higher.
4. After adjusting hood lock, tighten the lock bolts.
5. Install the front grille. Refer to EXT-17, "
Removal and Installa-
tion".
Removal and Installation of Hood AssemblyINFOID:0000000003775852
1. Support the hood striker with proper material to prevent it from falling.
WARNING:
Body injury may occur if no supporting rod is holding the
hood open when removing the damper stay.
2. Remove the hinge nuts from the hood to remove the hood assembly.
CAUTION:
Operate with two workers, because of its heavy weight.
Installation is in the reverse order of removal. Hood and headlamp (B–B) : 2.0 mm or less

- Headlamp switch is OFF.
- Air conditioner switch is OFF.
- Rear window defogger switch is OFF.
- Steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position, etc.
4. Start engine and warm it up until engine coolant temperature indicator points the middle of gauge.
Ensure engine stays below 1,000 rpm.
5. Run engine at about 2,000 rpm for about 2 minutes under no load.
6. Make sure that no DTC is displayed with CONSULT-III or GST.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> GO TO 2.
2.REPAIR OR REPLACE
Repair or replace components as necessary according to corresponding Diagnostic Procedure.
>> GO TO 3.
3.CHECK TARGET IDLE SPEED
With CONSULT-III

INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
With CONSULT-III
1. Check the VIN of the vehicle and note it. Refer to
GI-20, "Model Variation".
2. Turn ignition switch ON and engine stopped.
3. Select “VIN REGISTRATION ” in “WORK SUPPORT” mode.
4. Follow the instruction of CONSULT-III display.
Accelerator Pedal Released Position LearningINFOID:0000000003771298
DESCRIPTION
Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning is an operati on to learn the fully released position of the accel-
erator pedal by monitoring the accelerator pedal positi on sensor output signal. It must be performed each time
harness connector of accelerator pedal pos ition sensor or ECM is disconnected.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Make sure that accelerator pedal is fully released.
2. Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 2 seconds.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 2 seconds.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
Throttle Valve Closed Position LearningINFOID:0000000003771299
DESCRIPTION
Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning is an operation to l earn the fully closed position of the throttle valve by
monitoring the throttle position sensor output signal . It must be performed each time harness connector of
electric throttle control actuator or ECM is disconnected.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Make sure that accelerator pedal is fully released.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF wait at least 10 seconds. Make sure that throttle valve moves during above 10 seconds by confirming the operating sound.
Idle Air Volume LearningINFOID:0000000003771300
DESCRIPTION
Idle Air Volume Learning is an operation to learn the idle air volume that keeps each engine within the specific
range. It must be performed under any of the following conditions:
 Each time electric throttle control actuator or ECM is replaced.
 Idle speed or ignition timing is out of specification.
PREPARATION
Before performing Idle Air Volume Learning, make sure that all of the following conditions are satisfied.
Learning will be cancelled if any of the following conditions are missed for even a moment.
 Battery voltage: More than 12.9V (At idle)
 Engine coolant temperature: 70 - 100 °C (158 - 212 °F)
 Select lever: P or N
 Electric load switch: OFF (Air conditioner, headlamp, rear window defogger)
On vehicles equipped with daytime light systems, if the parking brake is applied before the engine is
start the headlamp will not be illuminated.
 Steering wheel: Neutral (Straight-ahead position)
 Vehicle speed: Stopped
 Transmission: Warmed-up
- With CONSULT-III: Drive vehicle until “ATF TEMP SE 1” in “DATA MONITOR” mode of “A/T” system indi-
cates less than 0.9V.
- Without CONSULT-III: Drive vehicle for 10 minutes.
