INSPECT DRIVE BELT
Check the fan and generator V belt deflection.
Tech Tips
The specified deflection values per belt are shown in the following table.
| Deflection | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Note
Check the V belt deflection at the specified point.
When inspecting a belt which has been used for over 5 minutes, apply the used belt specifications.
CHECK TAPPET FOR ABNORMAL NOISE
CHECK IDLE SPEED AND MAXIMUM SPEED
Note
Turn all the electrical systems and the A/C OFF.
Warm up and stop the engine.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List
Tech Tips
Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual for further information regarding the selection of Data List.
Inspect the engine idling speed.
| Idling speed |
|---|
| 600 to 700 rpm |
Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
Check the maximum speed.
| Maximum speed |
|---|
| 3620 to 3680 rpm |
Turn the ignition switch off.
Disconnect the intelligent tester from the DLC3.
INSPECT COMPRESSION
Warm up and stop the engine.
Remove the 4 bolts from the glow plug hole.
Remove the oil filler cap.
Remove the 2 bolts, then remove the No. 2 cylinder head cover sub-assembly.
Disconnect all connectors from the 4 injectors.
Install SST into the glow plug hole.
Connect a compression gauge to SST.
While cranking the engine, measure the compression pressure.
| Standard compression pressure |
|---|
| 3200 kPa (33 kgf/cm2, 464 psi) |
| Minimum compression pressure |
|---|
| 2700 kPa (27 kgf/cm2, 392 psi) |
| Maximum difference between each cylinder |
|---|
| 290 kPa (3 kgf/cm2, 42 psi) |
Note
Use a fully-charged battery so that the engine speed can be increased to 250 rpm or more.
Inspect the other cylinders in the same way.
Measure the compression pressure in as short a time as possible.
If the cylinder compression is low, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the glow plug hole, then inspect it again.
Tech Tips
If adding oil increases the compression, the piston rings and/or cylinder bore may be worn or damaged.
If the pressure stays low, a valve may be stuck or seated improperly, or there may be leakage from the head gasket.
Remove the compression gauge and SST.
Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.
Connect all connectors to the 4 injectors.
Install the No. 2 cylinder head cover sub-assembly with the 2 bolts.
Install the 4 bolts to the glow plug hole.
