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:0000000005147051
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

Hood Lock Control InspectionINFOID:0000000005147053
CAUTION:
If the hood lock cable is bent or deformed, replace it.
1. Remove the front grille. Refer to EXT-17, "
Removal and Installation".
2. 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.
3. While operating the hood opener, carefully make sure the front end of the hood is raised by approx. 20 mm (0.79 in). Also make
sure the hood opener returns to the original position.
4. Check the hood lock lubrication condition. If necessary, apply “body grease” to the points shown in the figure.
5. Install the front grille. Refer to EXT-17, "
Removal and Installa-
tion".
Hood Stay DisposalINFOID:0000000005356855
1. Fix hood stay (1) using a vise (C).
2. Using hacksaw (A) slowly make 2 holes in the hood stay, in numerical order as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
• When cutting a hole on hood stay, always cover a hack-saw using a shop cloth (B) to avoid scattering metal frag-
ments or oil.
• Wear eye protection (safety glasses).
• Wear gloves.

P0420, P0430 THREE WAY CATALYST FUNCTION
On Board Diagnosis LogicINFOID:0000000005149229
The ECM monitors the switching
frequency ratio of air fuel sensor
(A/F) sensor 1 and heated oxygen sensor 2.
A three way catalyst (manifold) with high oxygen storage capacity
will indicate a low switching frequency of heated oxygen sensor 2.
As oxygen storage capacity decreases, the heated oxygen sensor 2
switching frequency will increase.
When the frequency ratio of air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 and heated
oxygen sensor 2 approaches a specified limit value, the three way
catalyst (manifold) malfunction is diagnosed.
DTC Confirmation ProcedureINFOID:0000000005149230
NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following procedure
before conducting the next step.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
WITH CONSULT-III
TESTING CONDITION:
Do not hold engine speed for more than the specified minutes below.
1. Turn ignition switch ON and select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.
2. Start engine and warm it up to the normal operating temperature.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Start engine and keep the engine speed between 3,500 and 4,000 rpm for at least 1 minute under no load.
5. Let engine idle for 1 minute.
6. Make sure that “COOLAN TEMP/S” indicates more than 70 °C (158° F).
If not, warm up engine and go to next step when “COOLAN TEMP/S” indication reaches to 70°C (158° F).
7. Open engine hood.
8. Select “DTC & SRT CONFIRMATION” then “SRT WORK SUPPORT” mode with CONSULT-III.
9. Rev engine up to 2,000 to 3,000 rpm and hold it for 3 consecutive minutes then release the accelerator pedal completely.
If “INCMP” of “CATALYST” changed to “CMPLT”, go to step 12.
10. Wait 5 seconds at idle.
11. Rev engine up to 2,000 to 3,000 rpm and maintain it unt il “INCMP” of “CATALYST” changes to “CMPLT” (It
will take approximately 5 minutes).
If not “CMPLT”, stop engine and cool it down to less than 70 °C (158° F) and then retest from step 1.
