Warm up the engine.
Using the radiator cap tester, increase the pressure inside the radiator to 118 kPa (1.2 kgf/cm2, 17 psi), and check that the pressure does not drop.
If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator and water pump for leaks. If no external leaks are found, check the heater core, cylinder block and head.
72. INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK |
Start the engine. Make sure that there are no oil leaks from the areas that were worked on.
73. INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK |
74. INSPECT FOR FUEL LEAK |
- CAUTION:
- During Active Test mode, the engine speed becomes high and the combustion noise becomes loud, so pay attention.
- During Active Test mode, the fuel pressure becomes high. Be extremely careful not to expose your eyes, hands, or body to escaping fuel.
Check that there are no leaks from any part of the fuel system when the engine is stopped. If there is fuel leakage, repair or replace parts as necessary.
Start the engine and check that there are no leaks from any part of the fuel system. If there is fuel leakage, repair or replace parts as necessary.
Disconnect the return hose from the common rail.
Start the engine and check for fuel leaks from the return pipe.
If there is fuel leakage, replace the common rail.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Start the engine and push the intelligent tester main switch on.
Select the Fuel Leak test from the Active Test mode on the intelligent tester.
If the intelligent tester is not available, fully depress the accelerator pedal quickly. Increase the engine speed to the maximum and maintain that speed for 2 seconds. Repeat this operation several times.
Check that there are no leaks from any part of the fuel system.
- NOTICE:
- A return pipe leakage of less than 10 cc (0.6 cu in.) per minute is acceptable.
Reconnect the return hose to the common rail.
75. CHECK ENGINE IDLE SPEED AND MAXIMUM SPEED |
- HINT:
- For more information about the intelligent tester, refer to its operator's manual.
- If an intelligent tester is not available, use a tachometer's tester probe as a substitute.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
If a tester is not available, connect the tester probe of a tachometer to terminal 9 (TAC) of the DLC3 with SST.
- SST
- 09843-18030

Inspect the idle speed.
- HINT:
- Make sure that the engine is warmed up.
- Make sure that the A/C switch is off.
Start the engine and measure the idle speed.
- Standard idle speed:
- 700 to 800 rpm
Inspect the maximum speed.
Start the engine.
Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
Measure the maximum speed.
- Maximum Speed:
- 4450 to 4750 rpm
If the tester probe of a tachometer is connected to the DLC3, disconnect the tester probe together with SST from terminal 9 of the DLC3.
Disconnect the intelligent tester from the DLC3.
76. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL |
Warm up the engine, stop the engine and wait 5 minutes. The engine oil level should be between the dipstick low level mark and full level mark.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the full level mark.- NOTICE:
- Do not fill engine oil above the full level mark.
77. INSTALL NO. 2 ENGINE UNDER COVER |
- Torque:
- 28 N*m{286 kgf*cm, 21 ft.*lbf}
78. INSTALL NO. 1 ENGINE UNDER COVER |
- Torque:
- 28 N*m{286 kgf*cm, 21 ft.*lbf}
