Precautions for Drain Engine CoolantEBS00KN0
Drain engine coolant when engine is cooled.
Precautions for Disconnecting Fuel PipingEBS00KN1
●Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.
●Release fuel pressure before disassembly.
●After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precautions for Removal and DisassemblyEBS00KN2
●When instructed to use special service tools, use the specified tools. Always be careful to work safely,
avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.
●Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.
●Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.
●Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and re-assembly.
●When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally
opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified.
Precautions for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementEBS00KN3
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precautions for Assembly and InstallationEBS00MRZ
●Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.
●When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the
ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is speci-
fied, do exactly as specified.
●Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
●Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check oil or coolant passages for any restriction
and blockage.
●Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust.
Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.
●Release air within route when refilling after draining coolant.
●Before starting engine, apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch ON (with engine
stopped). Then mark sure that there are no leaks at fuel line connections.
●After repairing, start engine and increase engine speed to check coolant, fuel, oil, and exhaust systems
for leakage.
Parts Requiring Angular TighteningEBS00KN5
●Use an angle wrench for the final tightening of the following engine parts.
–Cylinder head bolts
–Lower cylinder block bolts
–Connecting rod cap bolts
–Crankshaft pulley bolt (No angle wrench is required as the bolt flange is provided with notches for angular
tightening)
●Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
●The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
●Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.

5. Disconnect fuel hose quick connector on engine side.
●Using tool of quick connector release (here in after “release”),
perform the following steps to disconnect quick connector.
a. Remove quick connector cap.
b. With the sleeve side of release facing quick connector, install
release onto fuel tube.
c. Insert release into quick connector until sleeve contacts and
goes no further. Hold the release on that position.
CAUTION:
Inserting the release hard will not disconnect quick connec-
tor. Hold release where it contacts and goes no further.
d. Draw and pull out quick connector straight from fuel tube.
CAUTION:
●Pull quick connector holding A position in illustration.
●Do not pull with lateral force applied. O-ring inside quick connector may be damaged.
●Prepare container and cloth beforehand as fuel will leak out.
●Avoid fire and sparks.
●Be sure to cover openings of disconnected pipes with plug or plastic bag to avoid fuel leakage
and entry of foreign materials.
6. Disconnect fuel hose quick connector at vehicle piping side, perform as follows.
a. Remove quick connector cap.
b. Hold the sides of the connector, push in tubs and pull out the
tube. (The figure is shown for reference only.)
●If the connector and the tube are stuck together, push and pull
several times until they start to move. Then disconnect them
by pulling.
CAUTION:
●The quick connector can be disconnected when the
tabs are completely depressed. Do not twist it more
than necessary.
●Do not use any tools to disconnect the quick connec-
tor.
●Keep the resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful when welding near the tube.
●Prevent acid liquid such as battery electrolyte etc. from getting on the resin tube.

DTC P0420 THREE WAY CATALYST FUNCTIONPFP:20905
On Board Diagnosis LogicEBS00M5U
The ECM monitors the switching frequency ratio of heated oxygen
sensors 1 and 2.
A three way catalyst (Manifold) with high oxygen storage capacity
will indicate a low switching frequency of heated oxygen sensor 2.
As oxygen storage capacity decreases, the heated oxygen sensor 2
switching frequency will increase.
When the frequency ratio of heated oxygen sensors 1 and 2
approaches a specified limit value, the three way catalyst (Manifold)
malfunction is diagnosed.
DTC Confirmation ProcedureEBS00M5V
NOTE:
If “DTC Confirmation Procedure” has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch “OFF” and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
WITH CONSULT-II
TESTING CONDITION:
●Open engine hood before conducting the following procedure.
●Do not hold engine speed for more than the specified minutes below.
1. Start engine and warm it up to the normal operating temperature.
2. Turn ignition switch ″OFF″ and wait at least 10 seconds.
3. Start engine and keep the engine speed between 3,500 and 4,000 rpm for at least one minute under no
load.
4. Let engine idle for one minute.
5. Select “DTC & SRT CONFIRMATION” then “SRT WORK SUP-
PORT” mode with CONSULT-II.
6. Rev engine up to 2,000 to 3,000 rpm and hold it for 3 consecu-
tive minutes then release the accelerator pedal completely.
If “INCMP” of “CATALYST” changed to “COMPLT”, go to step 9
7. Wait 5 seconds at idle.

Checking Fuel LinesEBS00KOS
Inspect fuel lines, filler cap and tank for improper attachment, leaks,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
General PrecautionsEBS00KOT
WARNING:
when replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.
●Put a “ CAUTION: INFLAMMABLE” sign in workshop.
●Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher.
●Do not smoke while servicing fuel system, keep open flames and spark away from work area.
CAUTION:
●Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures.
–a) Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely, keep the container
in safe area.
–b) Release fuel pressure from fuel line, Refer to EC-775, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" [QR20DE
(WITH EURO-OBD)], EC-1139, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" [QR20DE (WITHOUT EURO-OBD)],
EC-42, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" [QR25DE (WITH EURO-OBD)] or EC-452, "FUEL PRESSURE
RELEASE" [QR25DE (WITHOUT EURO-OBD)].
–c) Disconnect battery ground cable.
●Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.
●Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.
●Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
Tighten high-pressure rubber hose clamp so that clamp
end is 3 mm (0.12 in) from hose end.
Tightening torque specifications are the same for all rubber
hose clamps.
Ensure that screw does not contact adjacent parts.
●After installing tubes, make sure there is no fuel leakage at
connections in the following steps.
–a) Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition
switch “ON” (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel
leaks at connections.
–b) Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at
connections.
