2.Start the engine and perform gentle racing* several times
(less than times.)
If the abnormal noise stops by racing, the air is b led
from the high pressure chamber of the lash adjusters
and the function of the lash adjusters is normalized.
After raising the engine speed from idling to 3000
gradually (in 30 seconds), drop the
ally (in 30 seconds) to idling.
NOTE
lIf the vehicle is parked on a slope for the oil
in the lash adjusters will be decreased ‘andairmay
enter the high pressure chamber when the
is started.
lAfter the vehicle is parked for long, air may enter
the high pressure chamber because the, oil in the
oil passage will be gone and, it will take a time b efore
the oil is supplied to the lash adjusters.
3.If an abnormal noise does not stop by racing, check the
lash adjusters according to the following procedure s.
Stop the engine.
(2)Set the NG. cylinder of the engine to the compression
top dead center.
(3) Push the rocker arm indicated by the white arro w
mark as shown in the illustration at left and check
whether or not the arm lock goes down.
(4) Turn slowly the crankshaft
(5) Check the rocker arm indicated by the black arr ow mark
as shown in the illustration at left above (3).
(6) If the rocker arm can be lowered easily when th e
part of the rocker arm which is directly above the
top of the lash adjuster is pressed, the lash adjus ter
is defective and should be replaced with a new part .
In the same procedure as step 4, replace the lash
adjuster.
Furthermore, when replacing the lash adjuster, bleed
all of the air from the lash adjuster and then install.
After this, check that there is no problem by check ing
in steps to (5).
NOTE
lA leak-down test can be carried out to accurately
determine whether the lash adjuster is defective
or not.
l For the procedures for the leak-down test and
air bleeding of the lash adjuster, refer to
Furthermore, if the arm’ feels ‘extremely stiff
and cannot be lowered when it is pressed, the lash
adjuster is normal, so investigate for some other c ause
of the abnormality.

LASH ADJUSTER CHECK
NOTE
If an abnormal noise (rattling noise) probably caus ed by the
lash adjusters is heard and the noise does not check
as follows.
1. Check the engine oil, and if required, refuel
it.
NOTE
lIf the amount of the engine oil is insufficient, air will
be sucked in from the oil strainer and mix in the o il
passage.
lIf the amount of the engine oil is more the
specified amount, it will be stirred by the cranksh aft
to make a lot of air mix in the oil.
lIf the oil is deteriorated, it will not easily
from air and the amount of air mixed in the oil will
increase.
If the air which has mixed in the oil due to the ab ove
causes enters the high-pressure chamber in the lash
adjusters, the air in the high-pressure chamber wil l be
pressurized during opening of the valve, which caus es
the lash adjusters to shrink excessively, and an abnormal
noise will be generated when the valve is closed. This
is the same phenomenon as the one when the valve
clearance has been excessively adjusted by mistake. In
this case, if the air which has entered the lash ad justers
isbled, things will be normalized.
2.Start the engine and perform gentle racing? several times
(less than times.)
If the abnormal noise stops by racing, the air is b led
from the high pressure chamber of the lash adjuster s
and the function of the lash adjusters is normalize d.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
The
Control Module (PCM) monitors
many different circuits in the fuel injection syste m.
If the PCM senses a problem with a monitored
circuit often enough to indicate an actual problem,
it stores a diagnostic trouble code in the
memory.
After the PCM first detects a malfunction, a
diagnostic trouble code is recorded when the engine
i s r e s t a r t e d a n d t h e s a m e m a l f u n c t i o n i s
re-defected. However, for items marked with a
a diagnostic trouble code is recorded the
first detection of the malfunction.
After that, if the PCM does not re-detect the
malfunction for 40 drives* (51 engine start for
non-emission related faults), the diagnostic troubl e
code will be erased from the PCM memory.
NOTE
A drive indicates from engine start to stop and
monitors the power train component.
However, for misfiring or a fuel system rich/lean,
the diagnostic trouble codes will be erased under
the following conditions.
lWhen driving conditions (engine speed, engine
coolant temperature, etc.) are similar, to those
when the malfunction was first recorded.
l When the PCM does not re-detect the
malfunction for 80 drives*.
Technicians can display stored diagnostic trouble
codes by two different methods.
ENGINE (NON-TURBO)> Troubleshooting
The first is to cycle the ignition switch
On-Off-On-Off-On within 5
Then count
the number of times the malfunction indicator lamp
(check engine lamp) on the instrument panel flashes
on and off. The number of flashes represents the
diagnostic trouble code. There is a slight pause
between the flashes representing the first and
second digits of the code. Longer pauses separate
individual trouble codes. The second method of
reading diagnostic trouble codes uses
scan
Connect the scan tool to the
(diagnostic) connector in the vehicle.

EVAP leak monitor pinched hose found
Operation
The leak detection assembly incorporates two primar y functions: it must detect a the
system and seal the evaporative system so the leak detection test can be run.. .
The’ primary components within the assembly are: A three port solenoid activates ‘both of the
functions listed above; a pump which contains a swi tch; two check valves and a spring/diaphragm, a’
canister vent valve (CVV) seal which contains a spr ing loaded vent seal valve.
Immediately after a cold start, between predetermin ed temperature thresholds limits, the three port
solenoid is briefly energized. This initializes the pump by drawing air into the pump cavity and also closes
the vent seal. During non test conditions the vent seal is held open by the pump diaphragm assembly
which pushes it open at the full travel position. The vent seal will remain closed while the pump is c ycling
due to the reed switch triggering of the three port solenoid that prevents the diaphragm assembly from
reaching full travel. After the brief initializatio n period, the solenoid is de-energized allowing atm ospheric
pressure to enter the pump cavity, thus permitting the spring to drive the diaphragm which forces air
out of the pump cavity and into the vent system. Wh en the solenoid is energized and de-energized,
the cycle is repeated creating flow in typical diaphragm pump fashion. The pump is controlled in 2 mod es:
Pump Mode: The pump is cycled at a fixed rate to achieve a rapid pressure build in order to shorten
the overall test length.
Test Mode: The solenoid is energized with a fixed d uration pulse. Subsequent fixed pulses occur
when the diaphragm reaches the Switch closure point .
The spring in the pump is set so that the system wi ll achieve an equalized pressure of about 7.5”
The cycle rate of pump strokes is quite rapid as the system begins to pump up to this pressure.
As the pressure
the cycle rate starts to drop off. If there is no leak in the system, the pump
would eventually stop pumping at the equalized pres sure. If there is a leak, it will continue to pump
at a rate representative of the flow characteristic of the size of the leak. From this information we can
determine if the leak is larger than the required d etection limit (currently set at
orifice by CARB).
If a leak is revealed during the leak test portion of the test, the test is terminated at the end of the
mode and no further system checks will be performed .
After passing the leak detection phase of the test, system pressure is maintained by turning on the
solenoid until the purge system is activated. Purg e activation in effect creates a leak. The cycle
rate is again interrogated and when it increases du e to the flow through the purge system, the leak
check portion of the diagnostic is complete.
The canister vent valve will unseal the system afte r completion of the test sequence as the pump
diaphragm assembly moves to the full travel positio n.
Evaporative system functionality will be verified b y using the stricter evap purge flow monitor. At an
appropriate warm idle the LDP will be energized to seal the canister vent. The purge flow will be clocked
up from some small value in an attempt to see a shi ft in the 02 control system. If fuel vapor, indicated
by a shift in the 02 control, is present the test i s passed. If not, it is assumed that the purge syst em
is not functioning in some respect. The LDP is agai n turned off and the test is ended.
