CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-582, "
Fuel Pressure Check".
3. Disconnect fuel pump fuse (1) to avoid fuel injection during mea- surement.
4. Remove engine room cover.
5. Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-151
.
6. Connect an engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-III).
7. Install a suitable compression tester (B) with an adapter (A) onto spark plug hole.
• Use the adapter whose picking up end inserted to spark plughole is smaller than 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter. Otherwise, it
may be caught by cylinder head during removal.
8. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to “START” for cranking. When the gauge pointer stabilizes, read the compression pressure and the engine rpm. Perform these steps to check each
cylinder.
Compression pressure:
Unit: kPa (bar, kg/cm2 psi) /rpm
CAUTION:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain the specified engine speed.

• If the engine speed is out of the specified range, check battery liquid for proper gravity. Check engine
speed again with normal battery gravity.
• If compression pressure is below minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated with
combustion chamber (Valve, valve seat, piston, pi ston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder head
gasket). After the checking, measure the compression pressure again.
• If one cylinder has low compression pressure, pour small amount of engine oil into the spark plug hole
of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
- If the added engine oil improves the compression, piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check pis- ton rings and replace if necessary.
- If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, valves may be mal- functioning. Check valves for damage. Replace valve or valve seat accordingly.
• If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains low even after the addition of engine oil, cylinder head gasket is leaking. In such a case, replace cylinder
head gasket.
9. After inspection is completed, install removed parts.
10. Start the engine, and confirm that the engine runs smoothly.
11. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-585, "
Trouble Diagnosis Introduction".
InspectionINFOID:0000000006413294
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including 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 gas, or any oils/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec- ified level, if necessary.
