INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT


BASIC INSPECTION : Special Repair Requirement

1.INSPECTION START
1. Check service records for any recent repairs that may indicate a related malfunction, or a current need for scheduled maintenance.





2. Open engine hood and check the following:
- Harness connectors for improper connections
- Wiring harness for improper connections, pinches and cut
- Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks and improper connections
- Hoses and ducts for leaks
- Air cleaner clogging
- Gasket
3. Lift up the vehicle.
4. Activate "INSPECTION MODE 1" ( Inspection Mode 1) to start engine, and warm up engine until engine coolant temperature indicator points the middle of gauge.
Ensure engine stays below 1,500 rpm.
5. Run engine at about 2,500 rpm for about 2 minutes under no load.
6. Make sure that no DTC is displayed with CONSULT-III or GST.
Is any DTC detected?
YES - GO TO 2.
NO - GO TO 3.
2.REPAIR OR REPLACE
Repair or replace components as necessary according to corresponding Diagnostic Procedure.
- GO TO 3
3.CHECK TARGET IDLE SPEED
1. Run engine at about 2,500 rpm for about 2 minutes under no load.
2. Rev engine two or three times under no load, then run engine at idle speed for about 1 minute.
3. Shift the selector lever to N position with engine running.
4. Check idle speed.
For procedure, Special Repair Requirement.
For specification, [1][2]Idle Speed.

CAUTION:
Never leave the selector lever in the N position for a long period of time. In the N position, the engine operates but electricity cannot be generated.
5. Shift the selector lever to P position.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES - GO TO 9.
NO - GO TO 4.
4.PERFORM THROTTLE VALVE CLOSED POSITION LEARNING
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Perform Special Repair Requirement.
- GO TO 5.
5.PERFORM IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING
Perform Special Repair Requirement.
Is Idle Air Volume Learning carried out successfully?
YES - GO TO 6.
NO - Follow the instruction of Idle Air Volume Learning. Then GO TO 4.
6.CHECK TARGET IDLE SPEED AGAIN
1. Activate "INSPECTION MODE 1" ( Inspection Mode 1) to start engine, and warm up engine until engine coolant temperature.
2. Shift the selector lever to N position with engine running.
3. Check idle speed.
For procedure, Special Repair Requirement.
For specification, [1][2]Idle Speed.

CAUTION:
Never leave the selector lever in the N position for a long period of time. In the N position, the engine operates but electricity cannot be generated.
4. Shift the selector lever to P position.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES - GO TO 9.
NO - GO TO 7.
7. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the Following.
- Check camshaft position sensor (PHASE) and circuit. P0340.
- Check crankshaft position sensor (POS) and circuit. P0335.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES - GO TO 8.
NO - Repair or replace. Then GO TO 4.
8.CHECK ECM FUNCTION
Substitute another known-good ECM to check ECM function. (ECM may be the cause of an incident, but this is a rare case.)
- GO TO 4.
9.CHECK IGNITION TIMING
1. Run engine at idle.
2. Shift the selector lever to N position with engine running.
3. Check ignition timing with a timing light.
For procedure, Special Repair Requirement.
For specification, [1][2]Ignition Timing.

CAUTION:
Never leave the selector lever in the N position for a long period of time. In the N position, the engine operates but electricity cannot be generated.
4. Shift the selector lever to P position.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES - GO TO 17.
NO - GO TO 10.
10.PERFORM THROTTLE VALVE CLOSED POSITION LEARNING
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Perform Special Repair Requirement.
- GO TO 11.
11.PERFORM IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING
Perform Special Repair Requirement.
Is Idle Air Volume Learning carried out successfully?
YES - GO TO 12.
NO - Follow the instruction of Idle Air Volume Learning. Then GO TO 4.
12.CHECK TARGET IDLE SPEED AGAIN
1. Activate "INSPECTION MODE 1" ( Inspection Mode 1) to start engine, and warm up engine until engine coolant temperature.
2. Shift the selector lever to N position with engine running.
3. Check idle speed.
For procedure, Special Repair Requirement.
For specification, [1][2]Idle Speed.

CAUTION:
Never leave the selector lever in the N position for a long period of time. In the N position, the engine operates but electricity cannot be generated.
4. Shift the selector lever to P position.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES - GO TO 13.
NO - GO TO 15.
13.CHECK IGNITION TIMING AGAIN
1. Run engine at idle.
2. Shift the selector lever to N position with engine running.
3. Check ignition timing with a timing light.
For procedure, Special Repair Requirement.
For specification, [1][2]Ignition Timing.

CAUTION:
Never leave the selector lever in the N position for a long period of time. In the N position, the engine operates but electricity cannot be generated.
