ENGINE TUNE-UP ENGINE TUNE-UP PREPARATION L" SST r I I 16EOF2-012 BASIC INSPECTION Engine Oil 1. Remove the dipstick and check the engine oil level and condition. 2. Add or change oil as necessary. 49 B019 9AO System Selector Coolant (engine cold) For inspection of ignition timing and idle speed Warning Removing the radiator cap or the coolant drain plug while the engine is running, or when the en- gine and radiator are hot is dangerous. Scalding coolant and steam may shoot out and cause seri- ous injury. It may also damage the engine and cooling system. Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when remov- ing the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around it and slow- ly turn it counterclockwise to the first stop. Step back while the pressure escapes. When you're sure all the pressure is gone, press down on the cap-still using a cloth-turn it, and remove it. 1. Verify that the coolant level is near the radiator filler neck. 2. Verify that the coolant level on the coolant dipstick is be- tween the F and L marks. 3. Add coolant if necessary. Battery Removing the label on the top of the battery or removing the vent caps will void the battery's warranty. 1. Clean any corrosion on the clamps or battery posts. 2. Verify that the battery top is clean. If necessary, clean with baking soda and water. 3. Verify that cables are in good condition and not frayed or corroded. Repair or replace if necessary. 4. Verify that cable clamps are tight. Note Because this is a maintenance free battery, it is not necessary to check the fluid level. Gartner Banana

ENGINE TUNE-UP - TIMING LIGHT - 45UOFX422 GND Irnr Air Cleaner Element Inspection 1. Check the air cleaner element for excessive dirt and for oil and damage. Caution Cleaning the element with compressed air will re- duce the element's ability to filter the air. Don't use compressed air to clean the element. 2. Replace the element if necessary. ADJUSTMENT Preparation 1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature. 2. Turn all electric loads OFF. Headlight switch Blower switch Rear window defroster switch 3. Connect the SST to the data link connector. 4. Connect a timing light to the engine. 5. Connect a tachometer to the data link connector terminal IG- as shown. Ignition Timing 1. Perform Preparation. (Refer to above.) 2. Verify that the idle speed is within the specification; if not, adjust it. Idle speed 4 (Neutral): 800-900 (850 + 50) rpm [MT] (P range): 750-850 (800 & 50) rpm [AT] 3. Set switch A to position 1. 4. Set test switch to SELF TEST. 5. If the SST is not used, connect a jumper wire between the TEN terminal and the GND terminal of the data link connector. 6. Verify that the idle speed is within the specification. ldle speed (Ground the terminal TEN): 650-975 rpm 7. Verify that the timing mark (white) on the crankshaft pulley and the mark on the timing belt cover are aligned. lgnition timing: BTDC 9"-11" (10" & lo) Gartner Banana

ENGINE TUNE-UP 8. If the marks are not aligned, remove the ignition coil bracket and push the ignition coil aside for easy access and then loosen the crankshaft position sensor lock bolts, and turn the crankshaft position sensor to make the adjustment. 9. Tighten the distributor lock bolts to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 19-25 N-m (1.9-2.6 kgfem, 14--18 ftqlbf) 10. After adjusting the ignition timing, disconnect the jumper wire or SST from the data link connector. 11. Increase the engine speed and verify that the ignition timing advances. 12. Verify that the ignition timing is within the specification. Ignition timing: BTDC 6-18' ldle Speed 1. Perform Preparation. (Refer to page F-76.) 2. Set switch A to position 1. 3. Set test switch to SELF TEST. 4. With the coolant fan off, verify that the idle speed is within specification. ldle speed (Neutral): 800-900(850 + 50) rpm [MT] (P range): 750--850(800 -c 50) rpm [AT] 5. If not within the specification, adjust the idle by turning the air adjusting screw. 6. Disconnect the SST. Gartner Banana

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION When troubles occur in the main input devices or output devices, check for the cause using the SST. Q Failures of each input and output device are indicated and retrieved from the powertrain control module (engine) as diagnosis trouble code numbers. Note For input devices, the PCME continuously checks for malfunctions. For output devices, it checks for malfunctions only in a three-second period after the ignition switch is turned to ON, or the TEN termi- nal of the data link connector is grounded. - INPUT SIGNALS POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (ENGINE) I- -t INPUT DEVICES FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION .

Connect the SSTs to the data link connector and a ground. 2. Set the select switch to position A. 49 B019 9AO System Selector 3. Set the System Selector to position 1 and SELF TEST as shown. For diagnosis 4. Turn the ignition switch ON. 5. Verify that 88 flashes on the digital display and that the buzzer sounds for 3 sec. after turning the ignition switch ON. 6. If 88 does not flash, check the main relay (Refer to page F-156.), power supply circuit, and check connector wir- mg. 7. If 88 flashes and the buzzer continues for more than 20 sec., check for a short circuit between the powertrain control module (engine) terminal 1 E and the data link connector. Replace the powertrain control module (en- gine) if necessary and perform Steps 3 and 4 again. 8. Note any code numbers and check for the causes by re- ferring to the check sequences shown on pages F-83 to F-93. Repair as necessary. 9. After repairs, cancel the code numbers by performing the "After-repair procedure". (Refer to page F-94.) Gartner Banana

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM Principle of Code Cycle Diagnostic trouble codes are determined as shown below. 1. Code cycle break The time between diagnostic trouble code cycles is 4.0 seconds (the time the lamp is off). 1 CYCLE DIAGNOSTIC I I TROUBLE CODE, CYCLE BREAK I JUU I I C-----------l 4.0 SEC. 2. Second digit of diagnostic trouble code (ones position) The digit in the ones position of the diagnostic trouble code represents the number of times the buzzer sounds 0.4 second during one cycle.

It should also be noted that the light goes off for 1.6 seconds between the long and short pulses of the buzzer. r 1 CYCLE DIAGNOSTIC DIAGNOSTIC .
