7. Connect special service tool (SST)-49 B019 9A0 to data link connector.

Use: SST-49 B019 9A0 Or A Suitable Jumper Wire:

NOTE: If SST is not used, install jumper wire across TEN and GND terminals of data link connector.

4. Connect timing light.
5. Connect tachometer to data link connector IG- terminal.

ADJUST TIMING
1. Verify that coolant fan is "OFF."
2. Verify that idle speed is within specification; adjust if necessary.

Idle Speed: 650 - 750 rpm (Neutral)

Use: SST-49 B019 9A0 Or A Suitable Jumper Wire:

3 Set switch A to position 1.
4. Set test switch to SELF TEST.

View: Timing Marks:

5. Verify that the (white) timing mark on crankshaft pulley and T mark on timing belt cover are aligned.

NOTE: The (yellow) timing mark on the crankshaft pulley should be close to the 10° (±1°) BTDC mark on the timing belt cover.

Ignition Timing: 9° - 11° BTDC

View: Distributor Lock Bolts:

6. If marks are not aligned, loosen distributor lock bolts and turn distributor to adjust.
7. Tighten lock bolts to specified torque:

Torque: 19 - 25 Nm (14 - 18 ft.lb.)

8. Disconnect SST or remove jumper wire.
9. Raise engine speed and verify that timing advances.
10. Verify that timing (at idle) is within specified range by viewing the (yellow) timing mark on the crankshaft pulley. The (yellow) crankshaft mark should line up with the timing belt cover scale within the following range.

Ignition Timing Range: 6° - 18° BTDC
