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.

IDLE SPEED INSPECTION
1. INITIAL CONDITIONS
(a) Engine at normal operating temperature
(b) Air cleaner installed
(c) All pipes and hoses of air induction system connected
(d) All accessories switched OFF
(e) All vacuum lines properly connectedHINT: All vacuum hoses for EGR system, etc. should be prop-
erly connected.
(f) MFI system wiring connectors fully plugged
(g) Ignition timing set correctly
(h) Transmission in neutral position
2. CONNECT TACHOMETER Connect the tester probe of a tachometer to terminal IG of
the DLC1.
HINT: Set the tachometer to the 4±cylinder range.
NOTICE:
w Never allow the tachometer terminal to touch ground as
it could result in damage to the igniter and/or ignition
coil.
w As some tachometers are not compatible with this
ignition system, we recommend that you confirm the
compatibility of your unit before use.
3. INSPECT IDLE SPEED
(a) Race the engine speed at 2,500 rpm for approx. 90 seconds.
(b) Check the idle speed.
Idle speed:
700 + 50 rpm
If the idle speed is not as specified, check the IAC valve.
4. DISCONNECT TACHOMETER
