• 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, che ck again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in the guide may
generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop after
hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, or any oil/fluids including 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.
Summary of the inspection items:
*: Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.
Inspection of Camshaft Sprocket (INT) Oil Groove
CAUTION:
• Perform this inspection only when DTC P0011 is de tected in self-diagnostic results of CONSULT-III
and it is directed according to inspect ion procedure of EC section. Refer to EC-133, " Diagnosis Pro-
cedure " .
• Check when engine is cold so as to pr event burns from the splashing engine oil.
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, " Inspection " .
2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while
checking.
a. Release the fuel pressure. Refer to EC-498, " Inspection " .
b. Remove intake manifold. Refer to EM-28, " Exploded View " .
c. Disconnect ignition coil and injector harness connectors. Refer to EM-46, " Exploded View " .
3. Remove intake valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to EM-49, " Exploded View " .
4. Crank engine, and then make sure that engine oil comes out from intake valve timing control solenoid valve hole (A). End
crank after checking.
WARNING:
Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive belts, idler pul-
ley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
• Prevent splashing by using a shop cloth so as to prevent
the worker from injury from engine oil an d so as to prevent engine oil contamination.
• Prevent splashing by using a shop cloth so as to prevent engine oil from being splashed to
engine and vehicle. Especially, be careful not to apply engine oil to rubber parts of drive belts,
engine mounting insulator, etc. Wipe engi ne oil off immediately if it is splashed.

5. Perform the following inspection if engine oil does not
come out from intake valve timing control solenoid
valve oil hole of the cylinder head.
• Remove oil filter, and then clean it. Refer to EM-70, " Inspection " .
• Clean oil groove between oil strainer and intake valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to LU-6," Engine Lubrication System " and
LU-6, " Engine Lubrication System Schematic " .
6. Remove components between intake valve timing control solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket (INT), and then check each oil groove for clogging.
• Clean oil groove if necessary. Refer to LU-6, " Engine Lubrication System " and
LU-6, " Engine Lubrica-
tion System Schematic " .

• 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 " .

Precaution for Disco nnecting Fuel Piping INFOID:0000000004307113
• Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.
• Release fuel pressure before disassembly.
• After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precaution for Removal and Disassembly INFOID:0000000004307114
• When instructed to use special service tools, use the spec ified 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 equiva lent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.
• Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized 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 specif ied, do exactly as specified. Power tools may be used
where noted in the step.
Precaution for Inspection, Repair and Replacement INFOID:0000000004307115
