VDC AND TCS FUNCTIONS
VDC warning lamp in combination meter turns ON when a malfunction occurs in system [ABS actuator and
electric unit (control unit)]. The control is su spended for VDC and TCS functions. However, ABS and EBD
functions operate normally.

WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure
engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a th ick cloth around the cap. Slowly push down and
turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by pushing it down
and turning it all the way.
CAUTION:
• When removing water pump assembly, be car eful not to get coolant on drive belt.
• Water pump cannot be disassembled and must be replaced as a unit.
• After installing the water pump, connect hose and clamp securely, then check for leaks. Repair as
necessary.
NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc. , cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-
ing.
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal. Refer to PG-73, "Removal and Installation (Battery)".
2. Remove the core support cover clips (A), then remove the core support cover (1).
3. Remove front air duct. Refer to EM-84, "Removal and Installation"

18. Remove the timing chain tensioner (primary) as follows:
a. Pull the lever (C) down to release the plunger stopper tab (B).
b. Insert the stopper pin A into the tensioner body hole to hold the lever (C) and keep the plunger stopper tab (B) released.
NOTE:
An allen wrench [(1.2 mm (0.047 in)] is used for a stopper pin A
as an example.
c. Compress the plunger (D) into the tensioner body (1) by press- ing the slack guide (2).
d. Keep the slack guide (2) pressed and lock the plunger (D) in by pushing the stopper pin A through the lever (C) and into the
chain tensioner body hole.
e. Remove timing chain tensioner bolts and then remove the timing chain tensioner. CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop timing chain te nsioner bolts inside timing chain case.
19. Remove the three water pump bolts (A). Make a gap between water pump sprocket (1) and timing chain, by carefully turning
crankshaft pulley (2) counterclockwise until timing chain loosens
on water pump sprocket (1).

20. Remove water pump:
a. Screw M8 bolts approximately 50 mm (1.97 in) into water pump upper and lower bolt holes until they reach the timing chain case
[M8 bolt pitch 1.25 mm (0.49 in) length].
CAUTION:
• Place a suitable shop cloth below the water pump hous-
ing to prevent any co olant from dripping into the timing
chain case.
• Pull water pump straight out while preventing vane from
contacting socket in installation area.
• Remove water pump without causing sprocket to contact
timing chain.
b. Remove M8 bolts and O-rings from water pump. CAUTION:
Do not reuse O-rings.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
• Visually check for significant dirt or rust on the water pump body and vane.
• Check that the vane shaft turns smoothly by hand and is not
excessively loose.
• Replace the water pump assembly if the water pump does not per- form properly.
INSTALLATION
1. Install new O-rings on water pump (1).
CAUTION:
Do not reuse O-rings.
a. Apply engine oil to the O-rings (2,3) as shown.
b. Locate the O-ring (2) with white paint mark (A) to engine front side.
2. Hold timing chain to the side ( ) and install the water pump ().
CAUTION:
Do not allow the O-rings to be damaged by the cylinder
block when installing the water pump.
• Check that timing chain and water pump sprocket are
engaged.
• Tighten water pump bolts alternately and evenly to specifica- tion.
3. Remove dust and foreign material completely from installation area of timing chain tensioner and rear tim- ing chain case.
