ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)
1. PREPARATION FOR THE INSPECTION
MODE
1) Check battery voltage is more than 12 V and fuel
remains half [20 to 40 2 (5.3 to 10.6 US gal, 4.4 to
8.8 Imp gal)].
2) Lift-up the vehicle using a garage jack and place
it on rigid racks, or drive the vehicle onto free roll-
ers.
WARNING:
•Before lifting-up the vehicle, ensure parking
brakes are applied.
•Do not use a pantograph jack in place of a rig-
id rack.
•Secure a rope or wire to the front or rear tow-
ing hooks to prevent the lateral runout of front
wheels.
•Do not abruptly depress/release clutch pedal
or accelerator pedal during works even when
the engine is operating at low speeds since this
may cause vehicle to jump off free rollers.
•In order to prevent the vehicle from slipping
due to vibration, do not place any wooden
blocks or similar items between the rigid racks
and vehicle.
•Since the rear wheels will also rotate, do not
place anything near them. Also, make sure that
nobody goes in front of the vehicle.
