.
3. Check the basic ignition timing.
Standard value: 5° BTDC+/-3°
4. Start the engine.
5. Run the engine at idle for 2 minutes.
6. Check the idle speed. Select item number 22 and take a reading of the idle
speed.
Curb idle speed: 680+/-100 r/min
7. If the idle speed is outside the standard value, refer to MULTIPORT FUEL
INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS
.
IDLE MIXTURE CHECK Required Special Tool:
MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)
MB991824: V.C.I. MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A
1. Before checks set the vehicle in the following condition:
Engine coolant temperature: 80 - 95°C (176 - 203°F) Lights and all accessories: OFF Transaxle: P range
NOTE: The idle speed is controlled automaticall
y by the idle air
control system.
NOTE: Vehicles for Canada, the headlight, taillight, etc. remain
lit even when the lighting switch is in "OFF" position
but this is no problem for checks.

2. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connec
tor.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958,
always turn the ignition switch to the
"LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or
disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

3. Check that the basic ignition timing is within the standard value.
Standard value: 5° BTDC+/-3°
4. Start the engine and increase the engine speed to 2,500 r/min for 2 minutes.
5. Set the CO, HC tester.
6. Check the CO contents and the HC contents at idle.
Standard value:
CO contents: 0.5% or less
HC contents: 100 ppm or less
7. If the CO and HC contents do not remain inside the standard value, check the
following items:
Diagnostic output Closed-loop control (When the closed-loop control is carried out normally, the
output signal of the heated oxygen sensor changes between 0 - 400 mV and
600 - 1,000 mV at idle.) Fuel pressures Injector Ignition coil, spark plug EGR system and EGR valve leak Evaporative emission system Compression pressure
COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECK Re

:
NOTE: Replace the catalytic converter when the CO and HC
contents do not remain inside the standard value, even
though the result of the inspection is normal for all items.

1. Before checks set the vehicle in the following condition:
Engine coolant temperature: 80 - 95°C (176 - 203°F) Lights and all accessories: OFF Transaxle: P range
2. Remove all of the ignition coils and spark plugs.
3. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.
NOTE: Vehicles for Canada, the headlight, taillight, etc. remain
lit even when the lighting switch is in "OFF" position
but this is no problem for checks.
NOTE: Doing this will prevent the engine control module from
carrying out ignition and fuel injection.

4. Cover the spark plug hole with a shop towel etc., during cranking. After the
engine has been cranked, check for foreign material adhering to the shop towel.
5. Set compression gauge to one of the spark plug holes.
WARNING:Keep your distance from the spark plug hole
when cranking. Oil, fuel, etc., may spray out
from the spark plug hole and may cause serious
injury.

6. Crank the engine with the throttle valve fully open and measure the
compression pressure.
Standard value (at engine speed of 200 r/min): 1,548 kPa (225 psi)
Minimum limit (at engine speed of 200 r/min): 1,117 kPa (162 psi)
7. Measure the compression pressure for all the cylinders, and check that the
pressure difference of the cylinders are below the limit.
Limit: 98 kPa (14 psi)
8. If there is a cylinder with compression or a compression difference that is
outside the limit, pour a small amount of engine oil through the spark plug
hole, and repeat the operations in steps 6 to 8.
1. If the com
pression increases after oil is added, the cause of the

malfunction is a worn or damaged piston ring and/or cylinder inner
surface.
2. If the compression does not rise after oil is added, the cause is a burnt or
defective valve seat, or pressure is leaking from the gasket.
9. Connect the crankshaft position sensor connector.
10. Install the spark plugs and ignition coils.
11. Use the scan tool MB991958 to erase the diagnostic trouble codes.
NOTE: This will erase the diagnostic trouble code resulting from
the crankshaft position sensor connector being
disconnected.
