• If items or work required are not covered by the
engine section, follow the procedures in the applica-
ble sections.
• Always use the support poin t specified for lifting.
• Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for unavoid-
able reasons, support at the rear axle jacking point with a transmission jack or similar tool before
starting work, in prepar ation for the backward shif t of center of gravity.
• For supporting points fo r lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-38, " Garage Jack and
Safety Stand and 2-Pole Lift " .
REMOVAL
Outline Remove the engine and the transaxle assembly from t he vehicle downward. Separate the engine and the tran-
saxle.
Preparation 1. Remove the hood assembly. Refer to BL-14, " Removal and Installation " .
2. Remove the cowl top cover and cowl top extension assembly. Refer to EI-22, " Removal and Installation " .
3. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-498, " Inspection " .
4. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-11, " Changing Engine Coolant " .
CAUTION:
• Perform this step when the engine is cold.
• Never spill engine coolant on drive belt.
5. Drain the transmission fluid. Refer to MT-10, " Draining " (M/T),
AT-17, " Changing A/T Fluid " (A/T).
6. Remove the following parts. • Engine undercover
• Front road wheels and tires: Refer to WT-7, " Rotation " .
• Front fender protector (RH and LH): Refer to EI-24, " Removal and Installation " .
• Battery and battery tray: Refer to SC-7, " Removal and Installation " .
• Drive belt: Refer to EM-15, " Removal and Installation " .
• Air duct and air cleaner case assembly: Refer to EM-26, " Exploded View " .
• Radiator hose (upper and lower): Refer to CO-16, " Component " .
• Disconnect cooling fan controller wiring harness.
• Remove coolant reservoir tank.
• Remove fan shroud and cooling fan assembly. Refer to CO-18, " Component (Models with A/C) " or
CO- 18, " Component (Models without A/C) " .
Engine Room LH 1. Disconnect all connections of engine harness around the engine mounting insulator (LH), and then tem- porarily secure the engine harness into the engine side.
CAUTION:
Protect connectors using a resin bag against foreign materials.
2. Remove ground cable at transaxle side.
3. Disconnect fuel feed hose at engine side. Refer to EM-34, " Exploded View " .
4. Disconnect EVAP purge hose and brake booster vacuum hose.
5. Disconnect heater hoses, and install plugs them to prevent engine coolant from draining. Refer to CO-16," Component " .
6. Disconnect control linkage from transaxle. Refer to AT-212, " Control Device Removal and Installation " (A/
T), MT-13, " Exploded View " (M/T).
7. Disconnect the clutch tube at tr ansmission side (if equipped). Refer to CL-14, " Removal and Installation " .
Engine Room RH 1. Remove ground cable between front cover and vehicle.
2. Remove generator and generator bracket; Refer to SC-25, " Removal and Installation " .
3. Remove A/C compressor with piping connected from t he engine. Temporarily secure it on the vehicle side
with a rope to avoid putting load on it. (if equipped) Refer to MTC-78, " Removal and Installation of Com-
pressor - HR16DE " .

4. Remove engine mounting insulator (RH) (1), engine mounting
bracket (RH) (2) and engine mounting stay (3).
5. Remove engine mounting insulator (LH) (4) through bolt secur- ing nut (A).
6. Carefully lower jack, or raise lift to remove the engine and the transaxle assembly. CAUTION:
• Make sure that no part interferes with the vehicle side.
• Before and during this lifting, alw ays check if any harnesses are left connected.
• During the removal, always be careful to prevent the vehicle from falling off the lift due to
changes in the center of gravity.
• If necessary, support the vehicle by setting jack or suitable tool at the rear.
Separation 1. Remove starter motor. Refer to SC-19, " Removal and Installation HR16DE " .
2. Lift with a hoist and separate the engine from the transaxle assembly. Refer to EM-88, " Exploded View " .
INSTALLATION Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Do not allow engine oil to get on engine mounting insulator. Be careful not to damage engine mounting insu- lator.
• Make sure that each mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten nuts and bolts.
• Tighten engine mounting insulator (RH) bolts in the numerical
order shown.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks • Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels incl uding engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-14, " Fluids and Lubricants " .
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
- Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-
age at connection points.
- Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leak age of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids includ-
ing engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the specified level, if necessary.

2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the
″ACC ″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
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 al l control units using CONSULT-III.
General Precaution INFOID:0000000004307347
• Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any flammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any flam-
mable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas,
etc. When working in a pit or ot her enclosed area, be sure to prop-
erly ventilate the area before working with hazardous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
• Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire blocks to the wheels to prevent t he vehicle from moving. After jack-
ing up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands at
the points designated for proper lifting before working on the vehi-
cle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
• When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-
saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
• Before starting repairs which do not require battery power: Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
• If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of
radio and each control unit is erased.
• Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
• To prevent serious burns: Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
• Dispose of or recycle drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning
parts in an appropriate manner.
• Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.
• Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly. SGI231
