When not using the intelligent tester:

1. Remove the V-bank cover.
   





2. Connect the tester probe of a timing light to the wire of the ignition connector for the No. 1 cylinder.
   

   HINT:

   Use a timing light that detects the first signal.





3. Using SST, connect the terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.

   NOTICE:

   1. Confirm the terminal numbers before connecting them. Connecting the wrong terminals can damage the engine.
      
   2. When checking the ignition timing, the transmission should be in the neutral.
      




4. Using a timing light, check the ignition timing.
   

   Ignition timing:

   8 to 12° BTDC @ idle
   

5. Remove the SST from the DLC3.
   

6. Check the ignition timing.
   

   Ignition timing:

   5 to 15° BTDC @ idle
   

7. Check that the ignition timing advances immediately when the engine speed is increased.
   

8. Disconnect the timing light from the engine.
   

9. Install the V-bank cover.
   

Warm up and stop the engine.

NOTICE:

A warmed up engine should have an engine coolant temperature of over 80°C (176°F) and an engine oil temperature of 60°C (140°F), and the engine rpm should be stabilized.

When using the intelligent tester:

1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
   

   NOTICE:

   Switch off all accessories and A/C before connecting the intelligent tester.

2. Race the engine speed at 2,500 rpm for approximately 90 seconds.
   

3. Push the intelligent tester main switch ON.
   

4. Enter the following items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data list / Engine SPD.
   

   Idle speed:

   600 to 700 rpm
   

   NOTICE:

   When checking the idle speed, the transmission should be in the neutral.

   HINT:

   Please refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual for further details.

   If the idle speed is not as specified, check the air intake system.
   

5. Disconnect the intelligent tester from the DLC3.
   

When not using the intelligent tester:

1. Using SST, connect the tachometer probe to terminal TAC of the DLC3.
   

   SST

   09843-18040
   

   NOTICE:

   Confirm the terminal numbers before connecting them. Connecting the wrong terminals can damage the engine.

2. Race the engine speed at 2,500 rpm for approximately 90 seconds.
   

3. Check the idle speed.
   

   Idle speed:

   600 to 700 rpm (Transmission neutral position)
   

   If the speed is not as specified, check the air intake system.
   

4. Disconnect the tachometer from the DLC3.
   

Start the engine.

Keep the engine speed at 2,500 rpm for approximately 180 seconds.

Insert CO / HC meter testing probe at least 40 cm (1.3 ft.) into tailpipe during idling.

Immediately check CO / HC concentration at idle and / or 2,500 rpm.

HINT:

1. When performing the 2 mode (2,500 rpm and idle) test, follow the measurement order prescribed by the applicable local regulations.
   
2. If the CO / HC concentration does not comply with regulations, troubleshoot in the order given below.
   

1. Check the A/F sensor and heated oxygen sensor operation.
   

2. See the table below for possible cause, then inspect and correct the applicable causes if necessary.
   
   

   CO	HC	Symptom	Causes
   Normal	High	Rough idle	1. Faulty ignitions Incorrect timing Fouled, shorted or improperly gapped plugs 2. Leaky intake and exhaust valves 3. Leaky cylinder
   Low	High	Rough idle (Fluctuating HC reading)	1. Vacuum leaks PCV hose Intake manifold Throttle body 2. Lean mixture causing misfire
   High	High	Rough idle (Black smoke from exhaust)	1. Restricted air filter 2. Faulty fuel SFI system Faulty pressure Defective ECT sensor Faulty ECM Faulty injector Faulty throttle position sensor Faulty MAF sensor
