ENGINE COOLANT INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR TANK
The coolant level should be above the ªCOLD LEVELº at nor-
mal temperature (20 5C (68 5F)).
If low, check for leaks and add coolant up to the ªCOLD LEV-
ELº
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
(a) Remove the radiator cap from the reservoir tank.
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove
it while the engine and radiator are still hot as fluid and steam
can be blown out under pressure
(b) There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap or reservoir tank filler hole, and the
coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, clean the coolant passages and replace
the coolant.
Capacity (w/ Heater):
10.8 liters (11.4 US qts, 9.5 lmp. qts)
HINT:
wUse a good brand of ethylene±glycol base coolant and
mix it according to the manufacturer's directions.
w Using coolant which includes more than 50%
ethylene±glycol(but not more than 70%) is
recommended.
NOTICE:
w Do not use a alcohol type coolant.
w The coolant should be mixed with demineralized water or
distilled water.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap.

ENGINE OIL INSPECTION
1. CHECK OIL QUALITYCheck the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or
thinning.
If oil quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
Oil grade:
API grade SG or SH, Energy±Conserving II or ILSAC
multigrade engine oil. Recommended viscosity is as
shown in the illustration, with SAE 5W±30 being the
preferred engine oil.
Drain and refill capacity: w/ Oil filter change
4.8 liters (5.1 US qts, 4.2 lmp. qts)
w/o Oil filter change
4.5 liters (4.8 US qts, 4.0 lmp. qts)
2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVELThe oil level should be between the ªLº and ªFº marks on the
dipstick.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the ªFº mark.

BATTERY INSPECTION
1. CHECK BATTERY ELECTROYTE LEVEL AND VOLTAGE
(a) Check the electrolyte quantity of each cell.If under the lower level, replace the battery (or add distilled
water if possible.). Need to check the charging system.
(b) Measure the battery voltage between the terminals negative (±) and positive (+) of the battery.
Standard voltage:
12.7±12.9 V at 20 5C (68 5F)
HINT:
w Before measuring the voltage, turn the ignition switch
OFF and turn off the electrical systems (headlight,
blower motor, rear defogger etc.) for 60 seconds to
remove the surface charge.

wIf the vehicle has been running, wait 5 minutes or more
after the vehicle stops before measuring the battery
voltage.
If the voltage is less than specification, charge the battery.
HINT: Check the indicator as shown in the illustration.

2. CHECK BATTERY TERMINALS AND FUSES
(a) Check that the battery terminals are not loose or corroded.
(b) Check the fuses for continuity.

AIR FILTER INSPECTION AND
CLEANING
1. REMOVE AIR FILTER
(a) Open the air cleaner cap.
(b) Remove the air filter.

2. INSPECT AND CLEAN AIR FILTER
(a) Visually check that the air filter is not excessively damagedor only.
If necessary, replace the air filter.
(b) Clean the air filter with compressed air. First blow from the inside thoroughly, then blow off the out-
side of the air filter.
3. REINSTALL AIR FILTER

HIGH±TENSION CORDS INSPECTION
1. REMOVE NO.3 TIMING BELT COVERS (See steps 10 to 14 on pages EG±16)
2. REMOVE HIGH±TENSION CORDS (See step 1 on page IG±16)
NOTICE: Pulling on or bending the cords may damage the con-
ductor inside.
3. INSPECT HIGH±TENSION CORD RESISTANCE Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance.
Maximum resistance:
25 k
per cord
If the resistance is greater than maximum, replace the cord.
4. REINSTALL HIGT±TENSION CORDS (See step 1 on page IG±19)
5. REINSTALL NO.3 TIMING BELT COVERS (See steps 28 to 30 on pages EG±29)

DRIVE BELT INSPECTION
INSPECT DRIVE BELT
HINT: A belt tensioner is used, so checking the belt tension
is not necessary.
(a) Visually check the belt for excessive wear, frayed cords etc. If necessary, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
wCracks on the rib side of a belt are considered
acceptable. If the drive belt has chunks missing from the
ribs, it should be replaced.
w The drive belt tension can be released by turning the the
belt tensioner counterclockwise. The pulley bolt for the
belt tensioner has a left±hand thread.
(b) Check the belt tensioner operation. wCheck that the belt tensioner moves downward when
the drive belt is pressed down at the points indicated in
the illustration with approx. 98 N (10 kgf, 22.0 lbf) of
force.
w Check the ali gnment of the belt tensioner pulley to make
sure the drive belt will not slip off the pulley.
If necessary, replace the belt tensioner.
w Check that the arrow mark on the belt tensioner falls
within area A of the scale.
If it is outside area A, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
w When a new belt is installed, it should lie within area B.
If not, the drive belt is not correct.
w After installing a belt, check that it fits properly in the
ribbed grooves.
w Check by hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped
out of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.

CAUTION: Work must be started after 90 seconds from
the time the ignition switch is turned to the ªLOCKº posi-
tion and the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected
from the battery.
2. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT
3. REMOVE THROTTLE BODY COVER
(a) Disconnect the EVAP hose from the hose clamp.
(b) Remove the cap nut.
(c) Loosen the 2 bolts, and remove the hose clamp and throttle
body cover.
