 Measure the side clearance of piston ring (1) and piston ring
groove with a feeler gauge (C).
 If the measured value exceeds t he limit, replace piston ring, and
measure again. If it still exceeds the limit, replace piston also.
PISTON RING END GAP
 Check that the cylinder bore inner diameter is within the specifica- tion.
 Lubricate with new engine oil to piston (1) and piston ring (2), and
then insert piston ring until middle of cylinder with piston, and mea-
sure the piston ring end gap with a feeler gauge (B).
 If the measured value exceeds t he limit, replace piston ring, and
measure again. If it still exceeds the limit, re-bore cylinder and use
oversize piston and piston rings.

 Measure the outer diameters (A), (B) at two positions as shown in
the figure.
 If reduction appears in (A) range, regard it (B).
 If it exceeds the limit (large difference in dimensions), replace main bearing cap sub bolts with new one.
CONNECTING ROD BOLT OUTER DIAMETER
1. Measure the outer diameters [(a), (b) and (c)] at the position shown in the figure.
2. Obtain a mean value (d) of (a) and (b).
3. Subtract (c) from (d).
4. If it exceeds the limit (large difference in dimensions), replace the bolt with new one.
DRIVE PLATE
 Check drive plate and signal plate (A) for deformation or damage.
CAUTION:
 Never disassemble drive plate.
 Never place drive plate with signal plate facing down.
 When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or scratch it.
 Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from becom-
ing magnetized.
 If damage is found, replace drive plate.
OIL JET
 Check nozzle for deformation and damage.
 Blow compressed air from nozzle, and check for clogs.
 Using a clean plastic stick, press check valve in oil je t relief valve. Check that valve moves smoothly with
proper reaction force.
 If it is not satisfied, clean or replace oil jet.

< REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION >
EXHAUST SYSTEM
- Using heated oxygen sensor wrench [SST: KV10114400] (C),removal heated oxygen sensor 2.
INSTALLATION
Note the following items, and install in the reverse order of removal.
 Temporarily tighten bolts and nuts when installing exhaust pipe assembly. Tighten them to the specifiedtorque when connecting the vehicle rear to the vehicle front.
CAUTION:
 Always replace exhaust tube gasket s with new ones when reassembling.
 If heat insulator is badly deformed, repair or re place it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the heat
insulator, remove them.
 When installing heat insulator avoid large gaps or interference between heat insulator and each
exhaust pipe.
 Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid
gases leakage.
 Check each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.
 When installing each moun ting rubber, avoid twisting or unusua l extension in up/down and right/left
directions.
InspectionINFOID:0000000006289697
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
 Check clearance between tail tube and rear bumper is even.
 With engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.
 Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration.

< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >[XENON TYPE]
SYSTEM
- Swivels the headlamp to the vehicle-center side until it hits the stopper.
- Returns the swivel angle from the stopper. Completes t
he initialization with regarding the returned position
as the swivel angle 0 ° (straight-forward position).
Swivel Operation
 AFS control unit transmits the drive signal to the sw ivel actuator when activation conditions are satisfied.
And swivels the headlamp.
- The swivel starts after steering approximately 20 ° or more from straight-forward position.
NOTE:
The steering angle differs between right turn and left turn.
- The swivel angle becomes the maximum angle toward t he driving direction if the steering angle is approxi-
mately 90 ° or more depending on the vehicle speed. The swivel angle is maintained by shutting off the drive
signal.
- The swivel starts, and returns to the swivel angle 0 ° (straight-forward position) when the steering is returned
to the straight-forward position.
 AFS control unit returns the swivel angle to the strai ght-forward position, and stops the swivel regardless of
the steering angle if the operation condition is not satisfied while the swivel angle is 0°.
AFS OFF Indicator Lamp
 AFS control unit transmits AFS OFF indicator lamp signal to the combination meter via CAN communication.
 Combination meter turns AFS OFF indicator lamp ON /OFF/blinking according to AFS OFF indicator lamp
signal.
- AFS OFF indicator lamp is turned ON for 1 second for the AFS OFF indicator lamp bulb check when the igni-
tion switch is turned ON. AFS OFF indicator lamp is turned OFF within 1 second when the engine starts.
- AFS OFF indicator lamp turns ON when AFS is switched to “OFF” by operating AFS switch.
- AFS OFF indicator lamp blinks (1 second each) if AFS control unit detects a specific DTC.
NOTE:
Combination meter blinks AFS OFF indicator lamp (approximately 1 second each) if AFS OFF indicator
lamp signal is not received from AFS control unit.
HEADLAMP AUTO AIMING
Headlamp Auto Aiming Control Description
 AFS control unit controls the headl amp light axis height appropriately according to the vehicle height.
 AFS control unit detects the vehicle condition necessa ry for headlamp auto aiming control with the following
signals.
- Height sensor signals (front and rear)
- Vehicle speed signal (received from combination meter via CAN communication)
- Low beam status signal (received from IPDM E/R via CAN communication)
- Engine speed signal (received from ECM via CAN communication)
 When the operation conditions are satisfied, AFS cont rol unit transmits the aiming motor drive signal for
adjusting the headlamp axis height.
Headlamp auto aiming operation condition- Headlamp ON
- While the engine running
- Vehicle speed (Control mode is switched according to the driving condition.)
Headlamp Auto Aiming Operation
 AFS control unit calculates the vehicle pitch angle fr om the front and rear height sensor signal. AFS control
unit judges the angle for adjusting the axis gap from the preset position.
 AFS control unit controls the headlamp axis by c hanging the aiming motor drive signal output according to
the front and rear vehicle height when detecting the follo wing vehicle condition. Output is maintained if other
condition than following is detected.
- Engine starts.
- Headlamp is turned ON.
- Vehicle posture becomes stable after changing the v ehicle posture change is detected with the headlamp
ON and the vehicle stopped.
- Vehicle speed is maintained with the headlamp ON and the vehicle driven.
CAUTION:
Adjusted axis position may differ from the preset position although the headlamp auto aiming acti-
vates properly if the suspension is replaced or worn.

 Side marker lamp
 Front fog lamp
 Headlamp (LO, HI)
 A/C compressor (magnet clutch)
Operation Procedure
CAUTION:
Never perform auto active test in the following conditions.
 Engine is running.
 CONSULT-III is connected.
1. Close the hood and lift the wiper arms from the windshield. (Prevent windshield damage due to wiper
operation)
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield beforehand.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON, and within 20 seconds, pr ess the driver door switch 10 times. Then turn the
ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
Close passenger door.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. Af ter that the horn sounds once and the auto active test
starts.
CAUTION:
Engine starts when ignition switch is turned ON while brake pedal is depressed.
5. The oil pressure warning lamp starts blinking when the auto active test starts.
6. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
 When auto active test has to be cancelled halfw ay through test, turn the ignition switch OFF.
 When auto active test is not activated, door swit ch may be the cause. Check door switch. Refer to DLK-117,
"ComponentFunctionCheck".
Inspection in Auto Active Test
When auto active test is actuated, the following operation sequence is repeated 3 times.
