HANDLING PRECAUTIONS ON RELATED COMPONENTS
1. SRS AIRBAG
Locations of Airbag Components
This vehicle has an SRS AIRBAG (referred to as the airbag in the remain\
der of this manual).
When handling airbag components (removal, installation or inspection, e\
tc.), always follow the directions
given in the repair manual for the relevant model year to prevent the oc\
currence of accidents and airbag
malfunction.
Also take the following precautions when repairing the body:

Work must be started after 20 seconds or longer from the time the ignitio\
n switch is set to the LOCK
position and the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the \
battery.
(The airbag system is equipped with a back-up power source so that if w\
ork is started within 20 seconds
of disconnecting the negative (-) terminal cable of the battery, the airbag may be deployed.)
When the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, memory of the clock and audio
systems will be cancelled. So before starting work, make a record of the\
contents memorized by each
memory system. Then when work is finished, reset the clock and audio sys\
tems as before.
When the vehicle has tilt and telescopic steering, power seat, and outsi\
de rear view mirror, which are all
equipped with memory function, it is not possible to make a record of th\
e memory contents.
So when the operation is finished, it will be necessary to explain this \
fact to the customer, and request
the customer to adjust the features and reset the memory.
To avoid erasing the memory of each memory system, never use back-up powe\
r supply from outside
the vehicle.

When using electric welding, first disconnect the airbag connector (yel\
low color and 2 pins) under the
steering column near the combination switch connector before starting wo\
rk.

The 1 UZ±FE engine has 8±cylinders in a V±arrangement at a bank an\
gle of 905. From the front of the RH
bank cylinders are numbered 2 ± 4 ± 6 ± 8, and from the front of t\
he LH bank cylinders are 1 ± 3 ± 5 ± 7.
The crankshaft is supported by 5 bearings inside the crankcase. These beari\
ngs are made of a copper and
lead alloy.
The crankshaft is integrated with 8 weights for balance. Oil holes are plac\
ed in the center of the crankshaft
to supply oil to the connecting rods, bearing, pistons and other component\
s.
The ignition order is 1 ± 8 ± 4 ± 3 ± 6 ± 5 ± 7 ± 2. T\
he cylinder head is made of alminum alloy, with a cross
flow type intake and exhaust layout and with pent±roof type combustion chambers. The spark plugs are
located in the center of the combustion chambers.
At the front and rear of the intake manifold, a water passage has been p\
rovided which connects the RH
and LH cylinder heads.
Exhaust and intake valves are equipped with irregular pitch springs made\
of special valve spring carbon
steel which are capable of functioning at all engine speeds.
The RH and LH intake camshaft are driven by a timing belt, and a gear on\
the intake camshaft engages
with a gear on the exhaust camshaft to drive it. The cam journal is supp\
orted at 5 (intake) or 4 (exhaust)
places between the valve lifters of each cylinder and on the front end o\
f the cylinder head. Lubrication of
the cam journals and gears is accomplished by oil being supplied through th\
e oiler port in the center of the
camshaft.
Adjustment of the valve clearance is done by means of an outer shim type\
system, in which valve adjusting
shims are located above the valve lifters. This permits replacement of the sh\
ims without removal of the
camshafts.
Pistons are made of high temperature±resistant aluminum alloy, and a depression is built into the piston
head to prevent interference with the valves.
Piston pins are the full±floating type, with the pins fastened to neither the piston boss nor the connecting
rods. Instead, snap rings are fitted on both ends of the pins, preventing the\
pins from falling out.
The No.1 compression ring is made of steel and the No.2 compression ring\
is made of cast iron. The oil
ring is made of a combination of steel and stainless steel. The outer diamet\
er of each piston ring is slightly
larger than the diameter of the piston and the flexibility of the rings allows them to hug the cylinder walls
when they are mounted on the piston. Compression rings No.1 and No.2 work to\
prevent gas leakage from
the cylinder and the oil ring works to scrape oil off the cylinder walls to prevent it from entering the combus-
tion chambers.
The cylinder block is made of aluminum alloy with a bank of 90 5. Cast iron cylinders are installed inside
the cylinder block. It has 8 cylinders which are approximately twice the le\
ngth of the piston stroke. The top
of each cylinder is closed off by the cylinder head and the lower end of the cylinders becomes the crank-
case, in which the crankshaft is installed. In addition, the cylinder block c\
ontains a water jacket, through
which coolant is pumped to cool the cylinders.
The No.1 and No.2 oil pans are bolted onto the bottom of the cylinder bl\
ock. The No.1 oil pan is made of
aluminum alloy. The No.2 oil pan is an oil reservoir made of pressed steel sheet. An o\
il level sensor is
installed in the No.1 oil pan (If oil level drops below a set level, a warning light\
s up.). And oil pan baffle plate
keeps sufficient oil in the bottom of the No.2 oil pan even when the vehicle is t\
ilted. This dividing plate also
prevents the oil from marking waves when the vehicle is stopped suddenly\
and the oil shifts away from the
oil pump suction pipe.
Plastic region tighten bolts are used for the cylinder head, main bearin\
g cap and connecting rod.

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.
