Start the engine, and check that there are no fuel leaks after performing maintenance anywhere on the system.

Perform initialization (Click here).

NOTICE:

Certain systems need to be initialized after disconnecting and reconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

Measure the thread lengths of the right and left rack ends.

Standard:

Difference in thread lengths is 1.5 mm (0.059 in.) or less

Remove the rack boot set clips.

Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.

Adjust the rack ends if the difference in thread length between the right and left rack ends is not within the specified range.

1. Extend the shorter rack end if the measured toe-in deviates toward the outer-side.
   

2. Shorten the longer rack end if the measured toe-in deviates toward the inner-side.
   

Turn the right and left rack ends by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.

HINT:

Try to adjust toe-in to the center of the specified range.

Make sure that the lengths of the right and left rack ends are the same.

Tighten the tie rod end lock nuts.

Torque:

56 N*m{571 kgf*cm, 41 ft.*lbf}

NOTICE:

Temporarily tighten the lock nut while holding the hexagonal part of the steering rack end so that the lock nut and the steering rack end do not turn together. Hold the width across flat of the tie rod end and tighten the lock nut.

Place the boots on the seats and install the clips.

NOTICE:

Perform VGRS calibration after adjusting toe-in.

HINT:

Make sure that the boots are not twisted.

Warm up the engine and stop the engine.

NOTICE:

A warmed up engine should have an engine coolant temperature of over 80°C (176°F), have 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.
   

2. Start the engine and idle it.
   

3. Push the intelligent tester main switch ON.
   

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

   Ignition timing:

   8 to 12° BTDC @ idle (Shift lever on N)
   

   HINT:

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

Warm up 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. Rev the engine 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:

   700 to 800 rpm
   

   NOTICE:

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

Start the engine.

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

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

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

HINT:

1. Complete the measurement within 3 minutes.
   
2. Check regulations in your area when performing 2 mode CO/HC concentration testing (engine check at both idle speed and at 2,500 rpm).
   

If the CO/HC concentration does not comply with regulations, perform troubleshooting in the order given below.

1. Check the heated oxygen sensor operation (Click here).
   

2. See the table below for possible causes, and then inspect and repair.
   
   

   CO	HC	Symptom	Causes
   Normal	High	Rough idle	1. Faulty ignitions: Incorrect timing Fouled, shorted or improperly gapped plugs. 2. Incorrect valve clearance 3. Leaky intake and exhaust valves 4. 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 SFI system: Faulty pressure regulator Defective ECT sensor Faulty ECM Faulty injector Faulty throttle position sensor MAF sensor

Check for engine coolant leaks (Click here).

Warm up the engine, stop the engine and wait 5 minutes. The oil level should be between the dipstick's low and full level mark.

1. If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the full level mark.
   

   NOTICE:

   Do not fill the engine oil above the full level mark.

   HINT:

   SAE 5W-30 is the recommended choice for this engine for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather.
