Note the following before proceeding with work on the
electrical system. Note that the following must never be done:Unauthorized modifications of any electrical device or
wiring, because such modifications might lead to a vehicle malfunction, over-capacity or short-circuit that could resultin a fire in the vehicle.
When servicing the electrical system, disconnect the negative cable terminal from the battery.

00-l 6GENERAL - Precautions before Service
Caution
1. Before connecting or disconnecting the negative
cable, be sure to turn off the ignition switch and the
lighting switch.
(If this is not done,there is the possibility of
semiconductor parts being damaged.)
2.For MFI-equipped models, after completion of the
work steps [when the battery’s negative (-) termi-
nal is connected], warm up the engine and allow it
to idle for approximately five minutes under the
conditions described below, in order to stabilize
engine control conditions, and then check to be
sure that the idling is satisfactory.
Engine coolant temperature:
85-95X (185-203°F)
Lights, electric fans, accessories: OFF
Transaxle: neutral position (A/T models: “N” or
“P”)
Steering wheel:neutral (center) position

VEHICLE WASHING
If high-pressure car-washing equipment or steam car-washing
equipment is used to wash the vehicle, be sure to maintain the
spray nozzle at a distance of at least 300 mm (12 in.) from any plastic parts and all opening parts (doors, luggage compart-
ment, etc.).
SCAN TOOL (1) To operate the scan tool, refer to the “Scan Tool Operation Instructions”.
Connection and disconnection of the scan tool should
always be made with the ignition switch in the OFF
position.
(2) Always use a ROM pack that is appropriate for the vehicle.

(3) If any abnormal noise IS not eliminated by racing, check the
lash adjuster.
@ Stop the engine.
@ Set the engine so that cylinder No. 1 is positioned at
the top dead centre of the compression.
@ Press the rocker arm at the area indicated by the+ arrow mark to check whether the rocker arm is lowered
or not.
@ Slowly turn the crankshaft 360 degrees clockwise.
@ In the same procedure as Step 0, check the rocker
arm at the area indicated by the
0 arrow mark.
@ If the rocker arm lowers easily when the part directly
above the rocker arm lash adjuster is pressed, the lash
adjuster is defective and must be replaced. When re-
placing the lash adjuster, bleed the air from all adjus-
ters and then assemble them. Then inspect with proce-
dures
@ to 0, and confirm that there are no abnormal-
ities
NOTE
lThe lash adjuster can be accurately checked for de-
fects with the leak down test.
l Refer to the engine service manual for the leak down test and lash adjuster air bleeding procedure.
If the rocker arm is extremely hard when pressed
down, the lash adjuster is normal, so look for a different
cause of abnormal sound.
COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECK

cloth, etc.
Caution
1. During cranking, be especially careful of the spark plug
installing hole.
2.Very hot water, oil, fuel, etc., which may have entered
the cylinder somehow, will violently spout through the spark plug hole if the compression is measured in the
entrapped state. This is very dangerous.

Be sure to use the special tool (test harness) when, for a
waterproof connector, checking while the circuit is conduc-
tive. If a probe is inserted from the harness side, the waterproof
capability will be lowered, thereby causing/corrosion, SO
never do so.
If there is no test harness compatible with the connector, it
is OK to use the test harness set (MB991348)
that can be
directly connected between terminals.
l When a connector is disconnected in order to check terminal voltage, etc., never insert a probe if the terminal to
be checked is a female pin, because the forceful insertion
of a probe will cause improper or incomplete contact.
l When checking for damaged or disconnected wiring of a
harness (open circuit) and if both ends of the harness are
unconnected, use a jumper wire to ground one end of the
harness, and then check for continuity between the other
end and ground. By doing this, you can check for damaged
or disconnected wiring
., and, if there is no continuity, the
harness should be repaired.
l When checking for a harness short-circuit (short-circuit to
ground), open one end of the harness and then check for
continuity between the other end and ground.
If there is continuity, the harness is short-circuited to
ground and should be repaired.

FUEL SYSTEM - Troubleshooting13-11
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC-
The engine control module monitors the input/out-
put signals (some signals at all times and the others
under specified conditions) of the engine control
module.
When it is noticed that an irregularity has continued
for a specified time or longer from when the irregu- lar signal is initially monitored, passing a certain
number, the engine control module judges that an
irregularity has occurred, memorizes the diagnostic
trouble code, and outputs the signal to the on-board
diagnostic output terminal.
There are 15 on-board diagnostic items including
the normal state, and the diagnostic results can be
read out with a voltmeter or scan tool.
Moreover, since memorization of the diagnostic
trouble codes is backed up directly by the battery,
the diagnostic results are memorized even if the ig- nition key is turned off. The diagnostic trouble
codes will, however, be erased when the battery disconnected. In addition, beginning with the engine
control module of
1990 and later models, the diag-
nostic trouble codes are erased by turning on the
ignition switch and sending the diagnostic trouble
code erase signal from the scan tool to the engine
control module.
Caution
If the sensor connector is disconnected with
the ignition switch turned on, the diagnostic
trouble code is memorized. In this case, send
the diagnostic trouble code erase signal from
the scan tool to the engine control module or disconnect the battery terminal (-)
for 10 sec-
onds or more, and the diagnostic memory will
be erased.
The 15 on-board diagnostic items are provided as
follows, and if plural items are activated, they are all

READ OUT OF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
Precautions for operation
(1) When battery voltage is low, no detection of failure is possible. Be sure to check the battery for voltage and
other conditions before starting the test.
(2) On-board diagnostic item is erased if the battery or the engine control module connector is discon-
nected. Do not disconnect the battery before the di-
agnostic result is completely read.
Using Scan Tool
(1) Switch OFF the ignition switch.
(2) Connect the power-source terminal of the scan tool to the
cigarette lighter socket.
(3) Connect the scan tool to the data link connector. (4) Turn ignition switch to ON.
(5) Using the scan tool, read out and make a note of the
on-
board diagnostic output.
(6) Refer to the diagnostic chart, and repair the indicated loca-
tion of malfunction.
(7) Erase the diagnostic trouble code. (Refer to
P.13-17.)
