0B-8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
6) Replenish oil until oil level is brought to FULL level mark on
dipstick. (oil pan and oil filter capacity). The filler inlet is at
the top of the cylinder head cover.
It is recommended to use engine oil of SE, SF, SG, SH or SJ
grade.
NOTE:
Select the appropriate oil viscosity according to the proper
engine oil viscosity chart [A].
Engine oil specification :
7) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
8) Start engine and run it for 3 minutes. Stop it and wait 5 min-
utes before checking oil level. Add oil, as necessary, to bring
oil level to FULL level mark on dipstick.
[A]: Proper engine oil viscosity chart
H27 engine
Oil pan capacity liters (US/lmp pt.) About 5.0 (10.6/8.8)
Oil filter capacity liters (US/lmp pt.) About 0.5 (1.1/0.9)
Others liters (US/lmp pt.) About 0.7 (1.5/1.2)
Total liters (US/lmp pt.) About 6.2 (13.1/10.9)
NOTE:
Engine oil capacity is specified. However, note that the
amount of oil required when actually changing oil may
somewhat differ from the data in the table depending on
various conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.)

STEP 2. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)/FREEZE FRAME DATA CHECK
First, check DTC, referring to “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK” in this section. If DTC is indicated,
record DTC and freeze frame data.
After that clear DTC referring to “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CLEARANCE” in this section. DTC indicates
malfunction that occurred in the system but does not indicate whether it exists now or it occurred in the past and
the normal condition has been restored now. To check which case applies, check the symptom in question
according to Step 5 and recheck DTC according to Step 6, 7.
Attempt to diagnose a trouble based on DTC in this step only or failure to clear the DTC (including pending DTC)
in this step will lead to incorrect diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or difficulty in troubleshooting.
STEP 3. and 4. VISUAL INSPECTION
Be sure to perform visual check of the following items that support proper function of the engine.
STEP 5. TROUBLE SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Based on information obtained in Step 1 “CUSTOMER COMPLAINT ANALYSIS” and Step 2 “DTC/FREEZE
FRAME DATA CHECK”, confirm trouble symptoms. Also, reconfirm DTC according to “DTC CONFIRMATION
PROCEDURE” described in each “DTC FLOW TABLE”.NOTE:
For A/T vehicle, if only DTC P0705, P0715, P0720, P0741, P0743, P0751, P0753, P0756, P0758, or P1875
is indicated in this step, proceed to “DIAGNOSIS” in SECTION 7B1.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Step Action Yes No
1 Was “ENGINE DIAG. FLOW TABLE” per-
formed?Go to Step 2. Go to “ENGINE DIAG.
FLOW TABLE” in this
section.
2 Ignition system inspection :
1) Check spark plug and ignition spark of cylin-
der where misfire occurs, referring to “IGNI-
TION SYSTEM” section.
Is it in good condition?Go to Step 3. Faulty ignition coil, wire
harness, or other system
parts.
3 Fuel injector circuit inspection :
1) Using sound scope, check each injector
operating sound at engine cranking or
idling.
Do all injectors make operating sound?Go to Step 4. Check coupler connec-
tion and wire harness of
injector not making oper-
ating sound and injector
itself.
If OK, substitute a known-
good ECM (PCM) and
recheck.
4 Fuel pressure inspection :
1) Check fuel pressure referring to “TABLE B-
3” in this section.
Is check result satisfactory?Go to Step 5. Repair or replace.
5 Fuel injector inspection :
1) Check fuel injector(s) referring to Section
6E2.
Is check result satisfactory?Go to Step 6. Replace.
6 Ignition timing inspection :
