Tech Tips
The type of ignition switch used on this model differs according to the specifications of the vehicle. For the expressions listed in this section, refer to the "Ignition Switch Expressions" precaution Click here.
INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT
Когда двигатель находится в холодном состоянии, уровень охлаждающей жидкости должен быть между отметками "LOW" и "FULL".
Если уровень охлаждающей жидкости двигателя ниже отметки "LOW", проверьте, нет ли утечек, и долейте до отметки "FULL" охлаждающую жидкость с увеличенным сроком замены "Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC)" от компании Тойота или аналогичную высококачественную охлаждающую жидкость на основе этиленгликоля (а не на силикатной, аминовой, нитритной или борнокислой основе), изготовленную по гибридной технологии органических кислот.
INSPECT ENGINE OIL
Прогрейте двигатель, а затем остановите его и подождите 5 мин.
Убедитесь, что уровень масла находится между отметками низкого и максимального уровней на щупе проверки уровня масла.
Если уровень масла находится на низком уровне, убедитесь в отсутствии утечек моторного масла и долейте масло до максимальной отметки.
Note
Не заливайте моторное масло выше максимальной отметки.
INSPECT BATTERY
Check the battery for damage, deformation and leakage. If damage, deformation or leakage is found, replace the battery.
Check the electrolyte quantity of each cell.
Tech Tips
Before checking the battery voltage, turn off all the electrical systems (headlights, blower motor, rear defogger, etc.).
If the electrolyte quantity is below the lower line, add distilled water to each cell. Then, recharge the battery and check the electrolyte specific gravity.
| Standard specific gravity |
|---|
| 1.25 to 1.29 at 20°C (68°F) |
If the electrolyte quantity is above the lower line, check the battery voltage when cranking the engine. If the voltage is less than 9.6 V, recharge or replace the battery.
Check the voltage.
Turn the ignition switch off and turn on the headlights for 20 to 30 seconds. This will remove the surface charge from the battery.
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Voltage | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Tech Tips
If the result is not as specified, charge the battery.
INSPECT AIR CLEANER FILTER ELEMENT SUB-ASSEMBLY
Remove the air cleaner cap.
Remove the air filter element.
Visually check that the air filter is not excessively damaged or oily.
If necessary, replace the air cleaner filter element.
INSPECT SPARK PLUG
Note
Do not use a wire brush for cleaning.
Do not attempt to adjust the electrode gap of a used spark plug.
Check the electrode.
Using a megohmmeter, measure the insulation resistance.
| Standard resistance |
|---|
| 10 MΩ or higher |
| *1 | Ground |
If the result is not as specified, clean the spark plug with a spark plug cleaner and measure the resistance again.
Tech Tips
If a megohmmeter is not available, perform the following simple inspection instead.
Alternative inspection method:
Quickly accelerate the engine to 4000 rpm 5 times.
Remove the spark plug.
Visually check the spark plug.
If the electrode is dry, the spark plug is functioning properly. If the electrode is damp, proceed to the next step.
Check the spark plug for any damage to its thread and insulator.
If there is any damage, replace the spark plug.
| Recommended Spark Plug | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Reference:
Check the spark plug electrode gap.
| Maximum electrode gap for used spark plug |
|---|
| 1.3 mm (0.0512 in.) |
If the gap is more than the maximum, replace the spark plug.
| Electrode gap for new spark plug |
|---|
| 1.0 to 1.1 mm (0.0394 to 0.0433 in.) |
Clean the spark plug.
If the electrode has traces of wet carbon, clean the electrode with a spark plug cleaner, and then dry it.
| Air pressure |
|---|
| 588 kPa (6 kgf/cm2, 85 psi) |
| Duration |
|---|
| 20 seconds or less |
Tech Tips
Only use the spark plug cleaner when the electrode is free of oil. If the electrode has traces of oil, use gasoline to clean off the oil before using the spark plug cleaner.
INSPECT V-RIBBED BELT
Убедитесь в отсутствии износа, трещин и других признаков повреждения.
При обнаружении каких-либо дефектов замените поликлиновой ремень.
Ремень имеет трещины.
Ремень изношен до такой степени, что обнажились волокна
Отсутствуют элементы ребер ремня.
Убедитесь в том, что приводной ремень правильно располагается в углублениях шкива.
Tech Tips
Рукой проверьте, не выскользнул ли ремень из канавок в нижней части шкива. Если ремень выскользнул из канавки шкива, замените ремень. Правильно установите новый поликлиновой ремень.
Проверьте прогиб и натяжение поликлинового ремня.
| Стандартное отклонение | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| Стандартное натяжение | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Tech Tips
При проверке прогиба поликлинового ремня приложите к нему усилие натяжения 98 Н (10 кгс, 22,0 фунт-силы).
Проверьте прогиб поликлинового ремня в указанной точке.
Натяжение и прогиб поликлинового ремня следует проверять после проворачивания двигателя на 2 оборота.
Измерьте натяжение ремня при холодном двигателе.
При регулировке ремня установите его натяжение как можно ближе к среднему значению заданного диапазона.
При замене ремня новым обязательно выполните следующую процедуру после его регулировки: дайте двигателю поработать 5 мин на холостом ходу, а затем отрегулируйте ремень в соответствии с заданным значением для нового ремня после того, как двигатель остынет.
При проверке ремня, использовавшегося более 5 минут, необходимо использовать данные для "ремней, бывших в употреблении".
При использовании прибора для проверки натяжения ремня, необходимо сначала проверить его точность по эталонному прибору.

CAUTION:
Wear protective gloves when measuring the compression to avoid injuring your hands on the outer cowl top panel.
Note
Use a fully-charged battery so the engine speed can be increased to 250 rpm or more.
Inspect the other cylinders in the same way.
Measure the compression 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 spark plug hole, and 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, the valve may be stuck or seated improperly, or there may be leakage from the gasket.
