WARNING:
Inspect the drive belt only when the engine is stopped.
1. Visually check entire drive belt for wear, damage or cracks.
2. Check that the drive belt auto-tensioner indicator is within the possible use range.
NOTE:
• When new drive belt is installed, the drive belt aut o-tensioner indicator should be within the new drive
belt range.
• Check the drive belt auto-tensioner indicator when the engine is cold.
3. If the drive belt auto-tensioner indicator is out of the possible use range or belt is damaged, replace drive
belt.
Tension AdjustmentINFOID:0000000009460469
Belt tension is not manually adjustable, it is aut omatically adjusted by the drive belt auto-tensioner.

CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up the engine to full operating temperature.
2. Release the fuel pressure. Refer to EC-182, "Work Procedure"
.
3. Remove the ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-40, "Removal and Installation"
.
4. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT).
5. Disconnect the fuel injector harness connector to avoid any residual fuel injection during the measure- ment.
6. Install the compression tester with the adapter into the spark plug hole.
• Use compression tester whose end (a) (rubber portion) is smaller than 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter. Otherwise, it may be caught by
cylinder head during removal.
7. With the accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn the ignition switch to the “START” position to crank over
the engine. When the gauge pointer stabilizes, read the compression pressure and engine rpm. Perform
these steps to check each cylinder.
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2, psi) / rpm
CAUTION:
Always use a fully charged battery to ob tain specified engine cranking speed.
• If the engine speed is out of specified rpm range, check the battery. Check engine speed again with a fully
charged battery.
• If compression pressure is below minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated with com- bustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, piston ri ng, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder head gasket).
After the checking, measure compression pressure again.
• If some cylinders have 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, the piston rings may be worn or damaged. Check the pis- ton rings and replace if necessary.
• If the compression pressure remains at low level des pite the addition of engine oil, the valves may be mal-
functioning. Check the valves for damage. Replace the valve or valve seat accordingly.
