HOW TO USE THE INSPECTION PROCEDURES
The causes of a high frequency of problems occurring in electronic circuitry are generally the connectors,
components, the ECU and the harnesses between connectors, in that order. These inspection procedures
follow this order, and they first try to discover a problem with a connector or a defective component.

electrical wiring manual by means of this symbol.
Caution
After carrying out connector inspection, always be sure to
reconnect the connector as it was before.
6. Confirm that there are trouble symptoms. If trouble symptoms have
disappeared, the connector may have been inserted incorrectly and the
trouble symptom may have disappeared during inspection.
If it seems that trouble symptoms still remain, proceed to the next page of
instructions.
7. If trouble symptoms still remain up to this stage, there is a possibility that there is an
open or short circuit in the harness between the connectors, so check the harness.
Alternatively, the cause may be a defective ECU, so try replacing the ECU and check
if the trouble symptom disappears.

from the beginning.

GENERAL – How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points00-12
CONNECTOR INSPECTION
VISUAL INSPECTION
Connector is disconnected or improperly connected
Connector pins are pulled out
Due to harness tension at terminal section
Low contact pressure between male and female terminals
Low connection pressure due to rusted terminals or foreign
matter lodged in terminals
CONNECTOR PIN INSPECTION
If the connector pin stopper is damaged, the terminal
connections (male and female pins) will not be perfect even
if the connector body is connected, and the pins may pull
out of the reverse side of the connector. Therefore, gently
pull the harnesses one by one to make sure that no pins
pull out of the connector.
CONNECTOR ENGAGEMENT INSPECTION
Use the special tool (connector pin connection pressure
inspection harness of the inspection harness set) to inspect
the engagement of the male pins and females pins. (Pin

GENERAL – Precautions Before Service00-15
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE SERVICE
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
1. Items to follow when servicing SRS
(1) Be sure to read GROUP 52B – Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
For safe operations, please follow the directions and heed all warnings.
(2) Always use the designated special tools and test equipment.
(3) Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cable before doing any further work.
The SRS system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag even after the battery
has been disconnected. Serious injury may result from unintended air bag deployment if work
is done on the SRS system immediately after the battery cable is disconnected.
(4) Never attempt to disassemble or repair the SRS components. (SRS air bag control unit, air bag
module and clock spring.) If faulty, replace it.
(5) Warnings labels must be needed when servicing and handling SRS components. Warning labels
are located in the following locations.
Sun visor
Glove box
SRS air bag control unit
Steering wheel
Steering gear and linkage
Air bag module
Clock spring
(6) Store components removed from the SRS in a clean and dry place.
The air bag module should be stored on a flat surface and placed so that the pad surface is
facing upwards.
(7) Be sure to deploy the air bag before disposing of air bag module or disposing of a vehicle equipped
with an air bag. (Refer to GROUP 52B – Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.)
(8) Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check the SRS warning lamp operation to make sure
that the system functions properly.
2. Observe the following when carrying out operations on place where SRS components are installed,
including operations not directly related to the SRS air bag.
(1) When removing or installing parts do not allow any impact or shock to the SRS components.
(2) SRS components should not be subjected to heat over 93C, so remove the SRS components
before drying or baking the vehicle after painting.
After re-installing them, check the SRS warning lamp operation to make sure that the system
functions properly.

ENGINE – Specifications11-10
FORM-IN-PLACE GASKET
The engine has several areas where the form-in-place gasket (FIPG) is in use. To ensure that the gasket
fully serves its purpose, it is necessary to observe some precautions when applying the gasket. Bead
size, continuity and location are of paramount importance. Too thin a bead could cause leaks. Too thick
a bead, on the other hand, could be squeezed out of location, causing blocking or narrowing of the
fluid feed line. To eliminate the possibility of leaks from a joint, therefore, it is absolutely necessary to
apply the gasket evenly without a break, while observing the correct bead size.
The FIPG used in the engine is a room temperature vulcanisation (RTV) type and is supplied in a 100-gram
tube (Part No. MD970389). Since the RTV hardens as it reacts with the moisture in the atmospheric
air, it is normally used in the metallic flange areas. The FIPG, Part No. MD970389, can be used for
sealing both engine oil and coolant, while Part No. MD997110 can only be used for engine oil sealing.
Disassembly
The parts assembled with the FIPG can be easily disassembled without use of a special method. In
some cases, however, the sealant between the joined surfaces may have to be broken by lightly striking
with a mallet or similar tool. A flat and thin gasket scraper may be lightly hammered in between the
joined surfaces. In this case, however, care must be taken to prevent damage to the joined surfaces.
For removal of the oil pan, the special tool “Oil Pan Remover” (MD998727) is available. Be sure to use
the special tool to remove the oil pan.
Surface Preparation
Thoroughly remove all substances deposited on the gasket application surfaces, using a gasket scraper
or wire brush. Check to ensure that the surfaces to which the FIPG is to be applied is flat. Make sure
that there are no oils, greases and foreign substances deposited on the application surfaces. Do not
forget to remove the old sealant remained in the bolt holes.
Form-in-Place Gasket Application
When assembling parts with the FIPG, you must observe some precautions, but the procedures is very
simple as in the case of a conventional precut gasket.
Applied FIPG bead should be of the specified size and without breaks. Also be sure to encircle the
bolt hole circumference with a completely continuous bead. The FIPG can be wiped away unless it is
hardened. While the FIPG is still moist (in less than 15 minutes), mount the parts in position. When
the parts are mounted, make sure that the gasket is applied to the required area only. In addition, do
not apply any oil or water to the sealing locations or start the engine until a sufficient amount of time
(about one hour) has passed after installation is completed.
The FIPG application procedure may vary on different areas. Observe the procedure described in the
text when applying the FIPG.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
ATIMING BELT REMOVAL
(1) If the timing belt is to be reused, chalk an arrow mark
on the back surface of the belt so that the belt can be
reinstalled in the same direction.
(2) Place the exhaust camshaft sprocket in a position where
the timing mark for No. 1 cylinder is positioned about
one tooth before the top dead center of the compression
stroke.
Caution
The camshaft sprocket on the exhaust side can turn
very easily because of the valve spring tension. Use
care not to allow your fingers to get caught by the
sprocket.
(3) Loosen the lock nut of the tensioner pulley, then remove
the timing belt.
BOIL PUMP SPROCKET REMOVAL
