Fuel Pressure Relief ProcedureS7RS0B1706003
CAUTION! 
This work must not be done when engine is 
hot. If done so, it may cause adverse effect to 
catalyst.
 
NOTE
If ECM detects DTC(s) after servicing, clear 
DTC(s) referring to “DTC Clearance in 
Section 1A”.
 
1) Make sure that engine is cold.
2) Shift transaxle gear shift lever in “Neutral” (shift select lever in “P” range  for A/T model), set parking 
brake and block drive wheels.
3) Remove relay / fuse box cover.
4) Disconnect fuel pump relay (1) from relay / fuse box  (2).
5) Remove fuel filter cap in order to release fuel vapor  pressure in fuel tank, and then reinstall it.
6) Start engine and run it until engine stops for lack of  fuel. Repeat cranking engine 2 – 3 times for about 3 
seconds each time in order  to dissipate fuel pressure 
in lines. Fuel connections are now safe for servicing.
7) After servicing, connect fuel pump relay (1) to relay /  fuse box and install re lay / fuse box cover.
Fuel Leakage Check ProcedureS7RS0B1706004
After performing any service on fuel system, check to 
make sure that there are no fuel leakages as follows.
1) Turn ON ignition switch for 3 seconds (to operate  fuel pump) and then turn it OFF.
Repeat this (ON and OFF) 3 or 4 times and apply 
fuel pressure to fuel line until fuel pressure is felt by 
hand placed on fuel feed hose.
2) In this state, check to see that there are no fuel  leakages from any part of fuel system.
Fuel Lines On-Vehicle InspectionS7RS0B1706005
CAUTION! 
Due to the fact that fuel feed line (1) is under 
high pressure, use special care when 
servicing it.
 
Visually inspect fuel lines for evidence of fuel leakage, 
hose crack and deterioration or damage.
Make sure all cl amps are secure.
Replace parts as needed.
Fuel Pipe Removal and InstallationS7RS0B1706006

Spark Plug InspectionS7RS0B1806004
CAUTION! 
• When servicing the iridium / platinum 
spark plugs (slender center electrode type 
plugs), do not touch the center electrode 
to avoid damage to it. The electrode is not 
strong enough against mechanical force 
as it is slender and its material is not 
mechanically tough.
• Do not clean or adjust gap for the iridium /  platinum spark plugs.
 
Inspect spark plug for:
• Electrode wear
• Carbon deposits
• Insulator damage
If any abnormality is found for nickel spark plugs, adjust 
air gap, clean with spark plug cleaner or replace them 
with specified new plugs.
For iridium / platinum spark plugs, replace them with 
new plugs.
Spark plug air gap 
“a”
: 1.0 – 1.1 mm (0.040 – 0.043 in.)
Spark plug type
NGK: IFR6J11 (Iridium)
NOTE
NGK IFR6J11 is highly recommended for 
better engine starting performance under –25

Cranking System Symptom DiagnosisS7RS0B1904001
Possible symptoms due to starting system trouble would be as follows: 
• Starting motor does not run (or runs slowly)
• Starting motor runs but fails to crank engine
• Abnormal noise is heard
Proper diagnosis must be made to determine exactly where the cause of each trouble lies in battery, wiring harness, 
(including starting motor switch), starting motor or engine.
Do not remove motor just because starting motor does not  run. Check the following items and narrow down scope of 
possible causes.
1) Condition of trouble
2) Tightness of battery terminals (including ground cable  connection on engine side) and starting motor terminals
3) Discharge of battery
4) Mounting of starting motor
