: Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000006275991
NOTE:
Perform self-diagnoses with on board diagnosis and CO NSULT-III before performing symptom diagnosis. If
DTC is detected, perform the corresponding diagnosis.
1.CHECK COOLING SYSTEM
1. Check engine coolant level and check leakage. Refer to CO-8, "
Inspection".
2. Check reservoir tank cap. Refer to CO-11, "
RESERVOIR TANK CAP : Inspection".
3. Check water flow sounds of the engine coolant. Refer to CO-9, "
Refilling".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Refill engine coolant and repair or repl ace parts depending on the inspection results.
2.CHECK HEATER HOSE
Check installation of heater hose by visually or touching.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Repair or replace parts depending on the inspection results.
3.CHECK FRONT HEATER CORE
1. Check temperature of inlet hose and outlet hose of front heater core.
2. Check that inlet side of front heater core is hot and t he outlet side is slightly lower than/almost equal to the
inlet side.
CAUTION:
Always perform the temperature in spection in a short period of time because the engine coolant
temperature is very hot.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Replace front heater core. Refer to HA-44, "
HEATER CORE : Removal and Installation".
4.CHECK AIR LEAKAGE FROM EACH DUCT
Check duct and nozzle, etc. of front air conditioning system for air leakage.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Repair or replace parts depending on the inspection results.
5.CHECK SETTING OF TEMPERATURE SETTING TRIMMER (FRONT)
1. Check setting value of temperature setting trimmer (front). Refer to HAC-68, "
FRONT AUTOMATIC AIR
CONDITIONING SYSTEM : Temperature Setting Trimmer (Front)".
2. Check that temperature setting trimmer (front) is set to “ − direction”.
NOTE:
The control temperature can be set by t he temperature setting trimmer (front).
3. Set difference between the set temperature and control temperature to “0”.
Are the symptoms solved?
YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Replace A/C auto amp.. Refer to HAC-146, "

1. Check setting value of temperature setting trimmer (rear). Refer to HAC-69, "
REAR AUTOMATIC AIR
CONDITIONING SYSTEM : Temperature Setting Trimmer (Rear)".
2. Check that the temperature setting trimmer is set to “ − direction”.
NOTE:
The control temperature can be set by the temperature setting trimmer (rear).

Liquid GasketINFOID:0000000006289611
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface.• Remove liquid gasket completely from the liquid gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and boltholes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the ma ting surface with white gasoline (lighting and heating
use) to remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Apply liquid gasket to the liquid gasket application surface. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to GI-22, "
Recommended Chemical Prod-
ucts and Sealants".
 Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mating component.
 If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
 Do not retighten mounting bolts or nuts after the installation.
 After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill engine oil and engine coolant.

OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check
the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and check the engine oil level is within the range (A) shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the engine with oil.
OIL APPEARANCE
 Check the engine oil for a white milky appearance or excessive contamination.
 If the engine oil is milky, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant. Repair or replace
damaged parts.
OIL LEAKAGE
Check for oil leakage around the following areas:
Oil pan
 Oil pan drain plug
 Oil pressure switch
 Oil filter
 Oil cooler
 Intake valve timing control cover
 Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
 Front cover
 Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
 Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
 Crankshaft oil seal (front and rear)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
• Be careful not to burn yourself, as th e engine and engine oil may be hot.
 Put the A/T shift selector in the Park “P” position.
1. Check the engine oil level.
2. Remove front under cover.
3. Disconnect the oil pressure switch (1) harness connector.
4. Remove the oil pressure switch. CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock oil pressure switch.

InspectionINFOID:0000000006289623
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Oil Cooler
Check oil cooler for cracks. Check oil cooler for clogging by blowing compressed air through engine coolant
inlet. If necessary, replace oil cooler assembly.
Relief Valve
Inspect relief valve for movement, cracks and breaks by pushing the ball. If replacement is necessary, remove
the valve by prying it out using a suitable tool. Install a new valve in place by tapping it in.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check engine oil and engine coolant levels and add engine oil and engine coolant. Refer to LU-7, "Inspec-
tion" and CO-8, "Inspection".
2. Start the engine, and check for l eaks of engine oil or engine coolant.
3. Stop the engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Check the engine oil level and engine coolant level again. Refer to LU-7, "
Inspection" and CO-8, "Inspec-
