Speed CalibrationUnder ordinary conditions, the navigation system dis-
tance measuring function will automatically compensate
for minute decreases in wheel and tire diameter caused
by tire wear or low pressure. Speed calibration immedi-
ately restores system accuracy in cases such as when
distance calibration is needed because of the use of tire
chains in inclement weather.EL-488

Possible cause Drive condition Service procedure
Opera-
tionDriving immediately after starting engine.The gyro (angular velocity sensor)
needs about 15 seconds after the
engine is started to precisely sense
the angular velocity.
Directional sensing errors will occur
if the vehicle is moved immediately
after starting the engine. The posi-
tion marker may indicate inaccurate
position.Wait a few moments
between starting the engine
and actually driving the
vehicle.
Continuous driving for long distances (non-stop)When the vehicle is driven continu-
ously without stopping over a long
distance, errors in directional sens-
ing may occur. The position marker
may indicate inaccurate position.Stop the vehicle. Perform
ªSpeed Calibrationº (EL-488).
Rough or violent drivingWheel spinning (peeling out) or simi-
lar rough driving techniques can
adversely affect sensing accuracy.
The position marker may indicate
inaccurate position.If the position marker does
not move to the correct posi-
tion even after the vehicle
has been driven approxi-
mately 10 km (6 miles), per-
form ªAdjust Current Loca-
tionº MODE (EL-496).
Posi-
tional

tion

duresPositional calibration precision
SEL701V
If current vehicle location is roughly
set, the system may be unable to
locate the road that the vehicle is
traveling on. (This is especially true
in an area where there are many
roads.)Perform ªAdjust Current
Locationº MODE (EL-496)
within a precision standard of
1 mm (0.04 in) on the dis-
play.
NOTE:
During calibration, use the
most detailed map possible.
Position calibration direction
SEL702V
When calibrating the position, check
the vehicle direction. If the vehicle
direction is not correct, subsequent
precision of current location will be
affected.Perform ªAdjust Current
Locationº MODE, refer to
EL-496.

1. Warm up engine.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Release fuel pressure.
Refer to EC-40, ªReleasing Fuel Pressureº.
4. Remove ignition coils.
5. Remove spark plugs.
+Clean area around plug with compressed air before removing
the spark plug.

6. Attach a compression tester to No. 1 cylinder.
7. Depress accelerator pedal fully to keep throttle valve wide
open.
8. Crank engine and record highest gauge indication.
9. Repeat the measurement on each cylinder as shown above.
+Always use a fully-charged battery to obtain specified
engine speed.

10. If cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour a
small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark
plug hole and retest compression.
+If adding oil improves cylinder compression, piston rings
may be worn or damaged. If so, replace piston rings after
checking piston.
+If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating
improperly. Inspect and repair valve and valve seat. Refer
to SDS, EM-71. If valve or valve seat is damaged
excessively, replace them.
+If compression in any two adjacent cylinders is low and if add-
ing oil does not improve compression, there is leakage past the
gasket surface. If so, replace cylinder head gasket.
11. Reinstall spark plugs, ignition coils and fuel pump fuse.
12. Perform ªSelf-diagnosis Procedureº referring to EC-70, ªHow
to Erase DTCº if any DTC appears.
