1. Before inspection, set the vehicle to the pre-inspection condition.
2. Disconnect the connector of the ignition coil, and then remove all of the ignition coils and spark plugs (Refer to GROUP 11B - Generator and Ignition System 
). 3. Disconnect the all of the injector connectors.
4. | caution | - Keep away from the spark plug hole when cranking.
- If compression is measured with water, oil, fuel, etc., that has come from cracks inside the cylinder, these materials will become heated and will gush out from the spark plug hole, which is dangerous.
|
Cover the spark plug hole with a shop towel etc., and after the engine has been cranked, check that no foreign material is adhering to the shop towel.
5. Set compression gauge to one of the spark plug holes.
6. Cranking the engine with the accelerator pedal fully depressed, measure the compression pressure.- Standard value [at engine speed of 250 r/min]: 1,410 kPa (205 psi)
- Limit [at engine speed of 250 r/min]: Minimum 950 kPa (138 psi)
7. Measure the compression pressure for all the cylinders, and check that the pressure differences of the cylinders are below the limit.Limit: Maximum 98 kPa (14 psi)
8. If there is a cylinder with compression or a compression difference that is outside the limit, pour a small amount of engine oil through the spark plug hole, and repeat the operations in steps from 5 to 7.(1) If the compression increases after oil is added, the cause of the malfunction is a worn or damaged piston ring and/or cylinder inner surface.
(2) If the compression does not rise after oil is added, the cause is a burnt or defective valve seat, or pressure is leaking from the gasket.
9. Connect all of the injector connectors.
10. Install all of the spark plugs and ignition coils (Refer to GROUP 11B - Generator and Ignition System ). 11. | caution | To prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T.-III), always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T.-III). |
Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position and then connect scan tool (M.U.T.-III) to the data link connector [Refer to GROUP 13A - Diagnostic Function, How to Connect the Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III)
].
12. Use the scan tool (M.U.T.-III) to erase the diagnostic trouble codes (Refer to GROUP 13A - Diagnostic Function, How to Read and Erase Diagnostic Trouble Codes ).| note | This will erase the diagnostic trouble codes resulting from the injector connectors being disconnected. |
