b. Thinly apply new engine oil around fuel tube from tip end to spool end.
c. Align center to insert quick connector straightly into fuel tube. • Insert quick connector (1) to fuel tube until top spool (2) is
completely inside quick connector, and 2nd level spool (3)
exposes right below quick connector.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse O-ring.
• Hold (A) position as shown when inserting fuel tube into quick connector.
• Carefully align center to avoid inclined insertion to pre-
vent damage to O-ring inside quick connector.
• Insert until you hear a “click” sound and actually feel the engagement.
• To avoid misidentification of enga gement with a similar sound, be sure to perform the next step.
d. Pull quick connector by hand holding position. Check it is completely engaged (connected) so that it does
not come out from fuel tube.
e. Install quick connector cap (3) to quick connector.
• Install quick connector cap with arrow (A) on surface facing indirection of quick connector (fuel feed hose side).
CAUTION:
If quick connector cap cannot be installed smoothly, quick
connector may have not been installed correctly. Check
connection again.
f. Secure fuel feed hose to clamp of quick connector cap.
8. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Make sure there is no fuel leakage at connections as follows:
1. Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines by turning i gnition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel
leaks at connections.
2. Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections. WARNING:
Do not touch engine immediately after stopping as engine is extremely hot.
NOTE:
Use mirrors for checking on connections out of the direct line of sight.
• Perform procedures for “Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning” after finishing repairs. Refer to EC-
682, "Work Procedure".
• If electric throttle control actuator is replaced, perform procedures for “Idle Air Volume Learning” after
finishing repairs. Refer to EC-683, "Work Procedure"

quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "FOR USA AND CANADA : 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. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner dr ops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• 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.

Aiming AdjustmentINFOID:0000000009463617
PREPARATION BEFORE ADJUSTING
Before performing aiming adjustment, check the following:
• Ensure all tires are inflated to correct pressure.
• Place vehicle and screen on level surface.
• Ensure there is no load in vehicle other than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
• Coolant and engine oil filled to correct level, and fuel tank full.
• Remove cargo and/or luggage to maintain an unloaded vehicle condition.
• Confirm spare tire, jack and tools are properly stowed.
• Carefully wipe off any dirt from headlamp lens. CAUTION:
Do not use organic solvent (thinner, gasoline etc.)
• Place a driver or equivalent weight of 68.5 kg (150 lb) on the driver seat.
• By hand, bounce the front and rear of the vehicle to settle the suspension and eliminate any static load.
• Place the front tires in the straight ahead position.
• Aim each headlamp individually and ensure other headlamp beam pattern is blocked from screen.
NOTE:
• For headlamp aiming details, refer to regulations in your area.
• By regulation, no means for horizontal aim adjustment is provided from the factory; only vertical aim is
adjustable.
• Use adjusting screw to perform aiming adjustment.
• Perform headlamp aiming if:
- The vehicle front body has been repaired.
- The front combination lamp has been removed or replaced.
- Any outfitting has been installed.
- The vehicle’s standard load condition has been substantially increased.
Aiming Adjustment procedure
1. Position the screen.
NOTE:
• Stop the vehicle facing the screen.
• Place the screen on a plain road vertically.
2. Face the screen with the vehicle. Maintain 10 m (33 ft) between the headlamp bulb center and the screen.
3. Start the engine. Turn the headlamp (LO) ON.

- The vehicle’s standard load condition has been substantially increased.
Aiming Adjustment Procedure
1. Place the screen. NOTE:
• Stop the vehicle facing the wall.
• Place the board on a plain road vertically.
2. Face the vehicle with the screen. Maintain 7.62 m (25.0 ft) between the front fog lamp center and the
screen.
3. Start the engine. Turn the front fog lamp ON. NOTE:
Shut off the headlamp light with the board to prevent from illuminating the adjustment screen.
CAUTION:
Do not cover the lens surface with a tape etc. The lens is made of resin.
4. Adjust aiming in the vertical direction by turning the adjusting screw (A).
