Piston assembly contains piston, #1 ring, #2
ring, oil ring, piston pin and snap ring. The
expansion energy from engine is transferred
to the crankshaft through connecting rod to
convert the linear movement to rotating
energy.

1. SPECIFICATION
The engine oil filter element should be changed at the same time with the engine oil.
Regularly check the engine oil level and add the engine oil if necessary.
Remember to check the engine oil level and shorten the cycle to replace the engine oil
under severe driving conditions. -
-
Severe Driving Condition
Frequent stop-and-go traffic, extended idling, short driving distance below 6 km, driving
distance below 16 km when the outside temperature remains below freezing
Driving in a hilly or mountainous terrain, sandy, or dusty area
High load driving such as trailer towing
Taxi, patrol service or delivery service (extended idling and excessive driving with low
speed) -

4. DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURE
1) Oil Leak Diagnosis
Most fluid oil leaks are easily located and repaired by visually finding the leak and replacing or
repairing the necessary parts. On some occasions a fluid leak may be difficult to locate or repair.
The following procedures may help you in locating and repairing most leaks.
Finding the Leak ▶
Identify the fluid. Determine whether it is engine oil, automatic transmission fluid, power
steering fluid, etc.
Identify where the fluid is leaking from. -
-
After running the vehicle at normal operating temperature, park the vehicle over a large
sheet of paper.
Wait a few minutes.
You should be able to find the approximate location of the leak by the drippings on the
paper. ·
·
·
Visually check around the suspected component.
Check around all the gasket mating surfaces for leaks. A mirror is useful for finding leaks
in areas that are hard to reach.
If the leak still cannot be found, it may be necessary to clean the suspected area with a
degreaser, steam or spray solvent. -
-
Clean the area well.
Dry the area.
Operate the vehicle for several miles at normal operating temperature and varying
speeds.
After operating the vehicle, visually check the suspected component.
If you still cannot locate the leak, try using the powder or black light and dye method. ·
·
·
·
·
Clean the suspected area.
Apply an aerosol-type powder (such as foot powder) to the suspected area.
Operate the vehicle under normal operating conditoins.
Visually inspect the suspected component. You should be able to trace the leak path over
the white powder surface to the source. -

6) Alternator
Alternators are equipped with internal regulators.
Unlike three-wire generators, the alternator may be used with only two connections: battery
positive and an "D+" terminal to the charge indicator lamp.
As with other charging systems, the charge indicator lamp lights when the ignition switch is turned
to RUN, and goes out when the engine is running.
If the charge idicator is on with the engine running, a charging system defect is indicated. This
indicator light will glow at full brilliance for several kinds of defects as well as when the system
voltage is too high or too low.
The regulator voltage setting varies with temperature and limits the system voltage by controlling
rotor field current.
Achieve correct average field current for proper system voltage control by varying the on-off time.
At high speeds, the on-time may be 10 percent and the off-time 90 percent.
At low speeds, with high electrical loads, the on-time may be 90 percent and the off-time 10
percent.
7) Charging System
Generators use a new type of regulator that incorporates a diode trio.
A Delta stator, a rectifier bridge, and a rotor with slip rings and brushes are electrically similar
to earlier generators.
A conventional pulley and fan are used.
There is no test hole.
8) Starter
Wound field starter motors have pole pieces, arranged around the armature, which are energized
by wound field coils.
Enclosed shift lever cranking motors have the shift lever mechanism and the solenoid plunger
enclosed in the drive housing, protecting them from exposure to dirt, icy conditions, and
splashes.
In the basic circuit, solenoid windings are energized when the switch is closed.
The resulting plunger and shift lever movement causes the pinion to engage the engine flywheel
ring gear.
The solenoid main contacts close. Cranking then takes place.
When the engine starts, pinion overrun protects the armature from excessive speed until the
switch is opened, at which time the return spring causes the pinion to disengage.
To prevent excessive overrun, the switch should be released immediately after the engine starts.

3. WARNING LIGHTS AND INDICATORS
ESP OFF Indicator
This lamp comes on when pressing
the "ESP OFF" switch or the ESP
system is defective. When the ESP
system is activated, this lamp blinks
and a chime sounds.
Immobilizer Indicator
This indicator comes on when the
ignition key is communicating with
the engine control unit for approx.
0.5 seconds.
Glow Indicator
When the ignition key is turned ON,
this indicator lamp comes on and the
combustion chamber is warmed up.
In the vehicle equipped with direct
injection type engine, this indicator
may come on very shortly or may not
come on.
Fog Lamp / Headlamp
High Beam Indicator
This lamp comes on when
the fog lamp or high beam
headlamp operates to
indicate the operating
status.Engine Oil Pressure Warning Ligh
This lamp comes on if there is any
fault in the engine oil system and
goes off when a certain amount of
time has elapsed after turning ON
the ignition switch.
Door ajar warning
light
This light comes on
when a door or
tailgate is either
opened or not
closed completely.Brake warning light
This warning light comes on
and warning buzzer sounds
when the parking brake is
applied and/or the brake fluid
level is lower than specified
level.Seat belt warning lamp
The seat belt warning light comes on
and the seat belt warning chime
sounds for 6 seconds when the
ignition switch is turned to "ON"
position unless the driver's seat belt is
securely fastened. This reminding
operation stops when the driver
fastens the seat belt.
Engine Coolant Overheat
Warning Light
When the coolant temperature is
abnormally hot (over 120℃), this
warning light blinks and a
warning buzzer sounds at 1 Hz.
(check cooling system)
