CURB IDLE SPEED CHECK
Required Special Tools:
  • MB992744: Vehicle communication interface-Lite (V.C.I.-Lite)
  • MB992745: V.C.I.-Lite main harness A
  • MB992747: V.C.I.-Lite USB cable short
  • MB992748: V.C.I.-Lite USB cable long
1. Before inspection, set the vehicle to the pre-inspection condition.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position and then connect the scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE) to the data link connector [Refer to GROUP 13A - Direct Fuel Injection and Multiport Fuel Injection (DFI and MFI) Diagnosis, Diagnostic Function ].
3. Set the timing light to the power supply line (terminal No. 3) of the ignition coil No. 1.
4. Start the engine and let it run at idle.
5. Check that ignition timing is at the standard value.
Standard value: approximately 10° BTDC
note
  • The ignition timing may fluctuate within ±7°. This is normal.
  • In higher altitude, the ignition timing is more advanced than the standard value by approximately 5°.
  • Wait till approximately 1 minute passes after the engine started, and check the ignition timing when the engine stabilized.
6. Check the idle speed.
Standard value: 750 ± 100 r/min
note
  • The idle speed is controlled automatically by the idle speed control system.
  • When using the scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), select item No. 2 and take a reading of the idle speed.
7. If the idle speed is outside the standard value [Refer to GROUP 13A - Direct Fuel Injection and Multiport Fuel Injection (DFI and MFI) Diagnosis, Symptom Chart ].
8. Remove the timing light.
9. Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position and then disconnect the scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE).
