4. Engine Compression
A: MEASUREMENT
1) After warming-up the engine, turn ignition switch to
OFF.
2) Make sure that the battery is fully charged.
3) Remove all the spark plugs.
4) Disconnect connectors from fuel injectors.
5) Fully open throttle valve.
6) Check the starter motor for satisfactory performance
and operation.
G2M0098
7) Hold the compression gauge tight against the spark
plug hole.
CAUTION:
When using a screw-in type compression gauge, the
screw (put into cylinder head spark plug hole) should
be less than 18 mm (0.71 in) long.
8) Crank the engine by means of the starter motor, and
read the maximum value on the gauge when the pointer is
steady.
9) Perform at least two measurements per cylinder, and
make sure that the values are correct.

2-3DIAGNOSTICS
1. Engine Trouble in General

Whine or growl (continuous or
intermittent)
While engine is running with/
without steering turned.Loosened installation of oil pump,
oil pump bracketRetighten.
*8
Abnormal inside of oil pump, hoseReplace oil pump, hose, if the
noise can be heard when running
as well as stand still.
Torque converter growl
air conditioner compression growlRemove power steering pulley
belt and confirm.
Creaking noise (intermittent)
While engine is running with
steering turned.Abnormal inside of gearboxReplace bad parts of gearbox.
Abnormal bearing for steering
shaftApply grease or replace.
*9
Generates when turning steering
wheel with brake (service or park-
ing) applied.If the noise goes off when brake
is released, it is normal.
*10
Vibration
While engine is running with/
without steering turned.
Too low engine speed at startAdjust and instruct customers.
Vane pump aerationFix wrong part.
Vent air.
Damaged valve in oil pump, gear-
boxReplace oil pump, bad parts of
gearbox.
Looseness of play of steering,
suspension partsRetighten.
*8 Oil pump makes whine or growl noise slightly due to its mechanism. Even if the noise can be heard when steering wheel
is turned at stand still there is no abnormal function in the system provided that the noise eliminates when the vehicle is
running.
*9 When stopping with service brake and/or parking brake applied, power steering can be operated easily due to its light
steering effort. If doing so, the disk rotates slightly and makes creaking noise. The noise is generated by creaking between
the disk and pads. If the noise goes off when the brake is released, there is no abnormal function in the system.
*10 There may be a little vibration around the steering devices when turning steering wheel at standstill, even though the com-
ponent parts are properly adjusted and have no defects.
Hydraulic systems are likely to generate this kind of vibration as well as working noise and fluid noise because of com-
bined conditions, i.e., road surface and tire surface, engine speed and turning speed of steering wheel, fluid temperature
and braking condition.
This phenomena does not indicate there is some abnormal function in the system.
The vibration can be known when steering wheel is turned repeatedly at various speeds from slow to rapid step by step
with parking brake applied on concrete road and in“D”range for automatic transmission vehicle.

C: CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT ABS
OPERATION
1. CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT ABS
OPERATION BY PRESSURE GAUGE
1) Lift-up vehicle and remove wheels.
2) Disconnect the air bleeder screws from the FL and FR
caliper bodies.
B4M0633A
3) Connect two pressure gauges to the FL and FR caliper
bodies.
CAUTION:

Pressure gauges used exclusively for brake fluid
must be used.

Do not employ pressure gauge previously used for
transmission since the piston seal is expanded which
may lead to malfunction of the brake.
NOTE:
Wrap sealing tape around the pressure gauge.
4) Bleed air from the pressure gauges.
5) Perform ABS sequence control.
6) When the hydraulic unit begins to work, and first the FL
side performs decompression, holding, and compression,
and then the FR side performs decompression, holding,
and compression.
7) Read values indicated on the pressure gauge and
check if the fluctuation of the values between decompres-
sion and compression meets the standard values. Also
check if any irregular brake pedal tightness is felt.

8) Remove pressure gauges and air bleeder screws from
the RL and RR caliper bodies.
9) Connect the air bleeder screws hose to the FL and FR
caliper bodies.
10) Connect two pressure gauges to the RL and RR cali-
per bodies.
11) Bleed air from the pressure gauges and the FL and FR
caliper bodies.
12) Perform ABS sequence control.
13) When the hydraulic unit begins to work, at first the RR
side performs decompression, holding, and compression,
and then the RL side performs decompression, holding,
and compression.
14) Read values indicated on the pressure gauges and
check if they meet the standard value.

3) Operate the brake tester.
4) Perform ABS sequence control. 1 or [W20D2] step 1.>
5) Hydraulic unit begins to work; and check the following
working sequence.

holding, and compression in sequence, and subse-
quently the front right wheel repeats the cycle.
(2) The rear right wheel performs decompression,
holding, and compression in sequence, and subse-
quently the rear left wheel repeats the cycle.

the fluctuation of values, when decompressed and
compressed, meet the standard values.
