To realize the compatibility between low exhaust
emission and high engine output, an HEUI
(Hydraulically actuated Electronically controlled Unit
Injector) system, has been introduced. This system is
comprised of a hydraulic system, fuel system, and
electronic control system, using a high-pressure oil
pump in place of the conventional fuel injection pump.
The oil pressurized by means of this pump and by
signals from the ECM (Electronic Control Module)
actuates the fuel injector provided for each cylinder.
Inside of the fuel injector, fuel pressure is increased due
to the high-pressure oil. The ECM detects the driving
state of the vehicle, forms, signals sent by engine and
other part sensors, which determines the optimum fuel
injection amount and timing, thus controlling the fuel
injectors. Thus high engine output, good fuel economy,
and low exhaust emission are realized.When working on the fuel system, there are several
things to keep in mind:
1) Any time the fuel system is being worked on,
disconnect the negative battery cable except for
those tests where battery voltage is required.
2)Always keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire
extinguisher near the work area.
3) Replace all pipes with the same pipe and fittings
that were removed.
Clean and inspect “O” rings. Replace where
required.
4) Always relieve the line pressure before servicing
any fuel system components.
5) Do not attempt repairs on the fuel system until you
have read the instructions and checked the pictures
relating to that repair.
6) After maintenance work, push priming pump and
send enough fuel to the fuel system before starting
the engine.
NOTE: In comparison with the conventional engine,
the capacity of fuel passage in the 4JX1 engine is
larger. It takes the priming pump more time to fill the
engine with fuel.

BATTERY
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
DIAGNOSIS
There are six battery fluid caps at the top of the battery.
These are covered by a paper label.
The battery is completely sealed except for the six
small vent holes at the side. These vent holes permit
the escape of small amounts of gas generated by the
battery.
This type of battery has the following advantages over
conventional batteries:1. There is no need to add water during the entire
service life of the battery.
2. The battery protects itself against overcharging.
The battery will refuse to accept an excessive
charge.
(A conventional battery will accept an excessive
charge, resulting in gassing and loss of battery
fluid.)
3. The battery is much less vulnerable to self-
discharge than a conventional type battery.
1. VISUAL INSPECTION (Step 1)
Inspect the battery for obvious physical damage, such
as a cracked or broken case, which would permit
electrolyte loss.
Replace the battery if obvious physical damage is
discovered during inspection.
Check for any other physical damage and correct it as
necessary. If not, proceed to Step 2.
2. HYDROMETER CHECK (Step 2)
There is a built-in hydrometer (Charge test indicator) at
the top of the battery. It is designed to be used during
diagnostic procedures.
Before trying to read the hydrometer, carefully clean the
upper battery surface.
If your work area is poorly lit, additional light may be
necessary to read the hydrometer.
a. BLUE RING OR DOT VISIBLE – Go to Step 4.
b. BLUE RING OR DOT NOT VISIBLE – Go to
Step 3.3. FLUID LEVEL CHECK (Step 3)
The fluid level should be between the upper level line
and lower level line on side of the battery.
a. CORRECT FLUID LEVEL – Charge the battery.
b. BELOW LOWER LEVEL – Replace battery.
4. VOLTAGE CHECK (Step 4)
(1) Put voltmeter test leads to battery terminals.
a. VOLTAGE IS 12.4V OR ABOVE – Go to Step 5.
b. VOLTAGE IS UNDER 12.4V – Go to procedure
(2) below.
(2) Determine fast charge amperage from
specification. (See Main Data and Specifications in
this section.)
Fast charge battery for 30 minutes at amperage
rate no higher than specified value.
Take voltage and amperage readings after charge.
a. VOLTAGE IS ABOVE 16V AT BELOW 1/3 OF
AMPERAGE RATE – Replace battery.

Magnetic switch
1) Continuity of shunt coil
Check for continuity between terminals S and coil
case.
Replace, if there is not continuity (i.e., coil is
disconnected.)2) Continuity of series coil
Check for continuity between terminals S and M.
Replace, if there is no continuity (i.e., coil is
disconnected).
3) Continuity of contacts
With the plunger faced downward, push down the
magnetic switch. In this state, check for continuity
between terminals B and M. Replace, if there is no
continuity (i.e., contacts are faulty).

Pinion
1) Check by hand to see if the pinion rotates smoothly
in the dirve direction, or if it is locked when it is
rotated reversely.
If not, replace the pinion.
Yoke assembly
1) Check the magnet inside the yoke.
Replace the yoke assembly if it is broken.
REASSEMBLY
To install, follow the removal steps in the reverse order,
noting the following points:
Grease application places
1) Gears in reduction gear
2) Shift lever operating portion
3) Sliding potion of pinion
4) Plunger sliding portion of magnetic switch
Pinion jump-out dimension
1) Connect the (+) cable of battery to terminal S and
the (–) cable to terminal M. Turn the switch on, and
measure pinion travel dimension “L” in thrust
direction from the jump-out position.
In measuring the dimension, pull the pinion out a little in
the arrow direction.
Dimension L: 0.3 – 1.5 mm (0.01 – 0.06 in)If the measured value is out of standard, adjust the of
