2. AUTO TENSIONER CHECK
(1) Stop the engine from the idle speed and check that the
belt rests within the auto tensioner pulley width.
(2) Remove the drive belt.
(For the removal of the drive belt, refer to P.11-9.)
(3) Fit a spinner handle or similar tool into the tool mounting
hole of the auto tensioner and turn the tensioner clockwise
and counterclockwise to ensure that it does not bind.
(4) If step (1) or (3), or both, have been checked abnormally,
replace the auto tensioner.
(5) Reinstall the drive belt.
3. LASH ADJUSTER CHECK
NOTE
If an unusual knocking noise can be heard immediately after
the engine has started or while it is running and if that is
probably attributable to the lash adjuster, make the following
checks.
(1) Check the engine oil and add or change oil as necessary.
NOTE
(1) If the engine oil level is low, air is taken in through
the oil screen, entering the oil passage.
(2) If the oil level is too high, the cranks agitate oil causing
oil to trap a large amount of air.
(3) Air does not easily separate from a deteriorated oil
that can contain an increased amount of air.
When air trapped in oil for these reasons gets into the
high-pressure chamber of the lash adjuster, the air in
the high-pressure chamber is compressed to shrink the
lash adjuster excessively while the valve is opening,
resulting in an unusual noise occurring. This is the same
symptom developing when the valve clearance is adjusted
to an excessive value.
The problem in this case is gone when air is released
from the lash adjuster.
(2) Start the engine and carry out several cycles (10 or less)
of mild racing*.
If the noise is gone after racing, it indicates that air has
been released from the high-pressure chamber of the
lash adjuster, restoring the lash adjuster to normal
operating conditions.
*: Gradually (extending over a 30-sec. period) increase
the engine speed from idle speed to 3,000 r/min and
then reduce it down to the idle speed gradually
(extending over a 30-sec. period).
NOTE
(1) If the vehicle is parked on a slope for a long time,
the amount of oil in the lash adjuster will decrease,
causing air to get into the high-pressure chamber
when the engine is started.
(2) After the vehicle has been parked for a long time,
oil drains out of the oil passage and it takes a long
time for the oil to reach the lash adjuster. This can
cause air to get into the high-pressure chamber.

4. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
ItemsSymptom
StartingWon’t startThe starter is used to crank the engine, but there is no combustion within the
cylinders, and the engine won’t start.
Fires up and diesThere is combustion within the cylinders, but then the engine soon stalls.
Hard startingEngine starts after cranking a while.
Idling
stabilityRough idle
HuntingEngine speed doesn’t remain constant and changes at idle.
Usually, a judgement can be based upon the movement of the tachometer
pointer, and the vibration transmitted to the steering wheel, shift lever, body, etc.
This is called rough idle or hunting.
Incorrect idle speedThe engine doesn’t idle at the usual correct speed.
Engine stall
(Die out)The engine stalls when the accelerator pedal is released, regardless of whether
the vehicles is moving or not.
Engine stall
(Pass out)The engine stalls when the accelerator pedal is depressed or while it is being
used.
DrivingHesitation, Sag“Hesitation” is the delay in response of the vehicle speed (engine speed) that
occurs when the accelerator is depressed in order to accelerate from the speed
at which the vehicle is now traveling, or a temporary drop in vehicle speed
(engine speed) during such acceleration. Serious hesitation is called “sag”.
(Refer to Figure 1.)
Poor accelerationPoor acceleration is inability to obtain an acceleration corresponding to the
degree of throttle opening, even though acceleration is smooth, or the inability
to reach maximum speed.
StumbleEngine speed increase is delayed when the accelerator pedal is initially
depressed for acceleration. (Refer to Figure 2.)
ShockThe feeling of a comparatively large impact or vibration when the engine is
accelerated or decelerated.
SurgeThis is repeated forward or rearward surging during constant speed travel or
during variable speed travel.
KnockingA sharp sound like a hammer striking the cylinder walls during driving and which
adversely affects driving.
StoppingRun on
(“Dieseling”)The condition in which the engine continues to run after the ignition switch is
turned to OFF. Also called “Dieseling”.

ABS – Troubleshooting35B-11
3. INSPECTION CHART FOR TROUBLE SYMPTOMS
Get an understanding of the trouble symptoms and check according to the inspection procedure chart.
Trouble symptomsInspection pro-
cedure No.Reference page
When the ignition key is turned to “ON” (engine stopped), the ABS warning lamp
does not illuminate.135B-12
Even after the engine is started, the ABS warning lamp remains illuminated.235B-13
After the ignition key is turned to “ON”, the ABS warning lamp blinks twice, and
when turned to “START”, it illuminates. When returned to “ON”, the lamp
flashes once, and then switches off.335B-13
When the ignition key is turned to “START”, the ABS warning lamp does not
illuminate.435B-14
Brake operation is abnormal535B-14
Caution
(1) If steering movements are made when driving at high speed, or when driving on road surfaces
with low frictional resistance, or when passing over bumps, the ABS may operate even though
sudden braking is not being applied. Because of this, when getting information from the customer,
check if the problem occurred while driving under such conditions as these.
(2) During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate or may not be able to be depressed. Such
phenomena are due to intermittent changes in hydraulic pressure inside the brake line to prevent
the wheels from locking and is not an abnormality.
