< REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION >
ENGINE ASSEMBLY
a. Before removing the drive plate, put a match mark (A) on thecrankshaft and drive plate for alignment during installation.
b. Remove the drive plate. • Holding the crankshaft pulley bolt, lock the crankshaft to remove the drive plate bolts.
• Loosen the bolts diagonally.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage the drive plate. Especiallyavoid deforming and damaging of the signal plate teeth
(circumference position).
• Place the drive plate with th e signal plate surface facing
other than downward.
• Keep magnetic materials away from the signal plate.
CAUTION:
Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [a pproximately 240kg (529 lb) or more] large enough
for supporting the engine weight.
• If the load capacity of the stand is not adeq uate, remove the following parts beforehand to
reduce the potential risk of overturning the stand.
- Remove the fuel tube and fuel injector assembly. Refer to EM-40, "
Removal and Installation".
- Remove the intake manifold. Refer to EM-26, "
Removal and Installation".
- Remove the ignition coil. Refer to EM-37, "
Removal and Installation".
- Remove the rocker cover. Refer to EM-38, "
Removal and Installation".
- Other removable brackets.
CAUTION:
Before removing the hanging chains, make sure th e engine stand is stable and there is no risk of
overturning.
31. Remove the generator. Refer to CHG-22, "
Removal and Installation".
32. Remove the engine mounting insulator and bracket using power tool.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• When replacing an engine or transmission you mu st make sure the dowels are installed correctly
during re-assembly.
• Improper alignment caused by mi ssing dowels may cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of driv-
etrain components.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels incl uding engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-12, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak- age at connection points.

HEADLAMP
mixtureof xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to added lighting power, electronic
controlof the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color.Following are some of the many
advantages of the xenon type headlamp.
• The light produced by the headlamps is a white color comparable to sunlight that is easy on the eyes.
• Light output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.
• The light features a high relative spectral distribution at wavelengths to which the human eye is most sensi-tive. This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehi-
cle,for added visibility.
• Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load..
HIGH BEAM OPERATION/FLASH-TO-PASS OPERATION
With the lighting switch in the 2ND position and placed in HIGH position, the BCM receives input requesting
the headlamp high beams to illuminate. The flash to pass feature can be used any time and also sends a sig-
nal to the BCM. This input is communicated to t he IPDM E/R via the CAN communication lines. The CPU of
the combination meter controls the ON/OFF status off the HIGH BEAM indicator. The CPU of the IPDM E/R
controls the headlamp high relay coil which supplies power to the high beam headlamps.
The combination meter receives a high beam request signal (ON) via the CAN communication lines and turns
the high beam indicator lamp ON.
