ENGINE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

Note

When the transaxle is removed, be sure to use a new clutch release with bearing cylinder and new installation bolts.

Standard Capacity

Item	Specified Condition
5-bladed fan	5.6 liters (5.9 US qts, 4.9 Imp. qts)
7-bladed fan	6.3 liters (6.7 US qts, 5.5 Imp. qts)

Tech Tips

TOYOTA vehicles are filled with TOYOTA SLLC at the factory. In order to avoid damage to the engine cooling system and other technical problems, only use TOYOTA SLLC or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology (coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology is a combination of low phosphates and organic acids).

Note

Never use water as a substitute for engine coolant.

Squeeze the inlet and outlet radiator hoses several times by hand, and then check the level of the coolant.

If the coolant level is low, add coolant.
Install the cap and warm up the engine sufficiently.
Bleed air from the cooling system.
Note
- Before starting the engine, turn the A/C switch off.
- Adjust the air conditioning temperature setting to MAX (HOT).
- Adjust the air conditioning blower setting to Lo.
1. Warm up the engine until the thermostat opens. While the thermostat is open, allow the coolant to circulate for several minutes.
  
  Tech Tips
  
  The thermostat opening timing can be confirmed by squeezing the inlet radiator hose by hand, and sensing vibrations when the engine coolant starts to flow inside the hose.
  CAUTION:
  When squeezing the radiator hose:
  - Wear protective gloves.
  - Be careful as the radiator hoses are hot.
  - Keep your hands away from the radiator fan.
2. After the engine has warmed up, repeat the following procedure for at least 7 minutes: run the engine at 3000 rpm for 5 seconds, and then at idle speed for 45 seconds (repeat this procedure at least 8 times).
3. Squeeze the inlet and outlet radiator hoses several times by hand to bleed air from the system.
  CAUTION:
  When squeezing the radiator hose:
  - Wear protective gloves.
  - Be careful as the radiator hoses are hot.
  - Keep your hands away from the radiator fan.
After the engine has cooled down, check that the coolant level is between FULL and LOW lines.

If the coolant level is low, add coolant to the FULL line on the reservoir.

CAUTION:

To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator reservoir cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Thermal expansion may cause hot engine coolant and steam to blow out from the radiator.
1. Fill the radiator with engine coolant, and then attach a radiator cap tester.
2. Warm up the engine.
3. Using the radiator cap tester, increase the pressure inside the radiator to 118 kPa (1.2 kgf/cm², 17 psi), and then check that the pressure does not drop.
  
  If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator and water pump for leakage. If there are no signs or traces of external engine coolant leakage, check the heater core, cylinder block and head.
INSPECT FOR ENGINE OIL LEAK
1. Start the engine. Make sure that there are no oil leaks from the areas that were worked on.
INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK

If gas is leaking, tighten the areas necessary to stop the leak. Replace damaged parts as necessary.

INSPECT V-RIBBED BELT

Check the belt for wear, cracks or other signs of damage.

If any of the following defects is found, replace the V-ribbed belt.
- The belt is cracked.
- The belt is worn out to the extent that the cords are exposed.
- The belt has chunks missing from the ribs.
Check that the belt fits properly in the ribbed grooves.

Tech Tips

Check with your hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped out of the grooves on the bottom to the pulley. If it has slipped out, replace the V-ribbed belt. Install a new V-ribbed belt correctly.

Check the V-ribbed belt deflection and tension.

Standard Deflection

Item	Specified Condition
New belt	7.0 to 8.2 mm (0.276 to 0.323 in.)
Used belt	7.6 to 10.0 mm (0.299 to 0.394 in.)

Standard Tension

Item	Specified Condition
New belt	700 to 800 N (70 to 80 kgf, 157.4 to 179.8 lbf)
Used belt	550 to 750 N (55 to 75 kgf, 123.6 to 168.6 lbf)

Tech Tips

When inspecting the V-ribbed belt deflection, apply 98 N (10 kgf, 22.0 lbf) of tensile force to it.
Check the V-ribbed belt deflection at the specified point.
V-ribbed belt tension and deflection should be checked after 2 revolutions of engine cranking.
Measure the belt tension when the engine is cold.
When adjusting the belt, be sure to adjust it so that the tension is as close as possible to the median of the specified range.
When replacing the belt with a new one, be sure to perform the following after adjusting the belt: idle the engine for 5 minutes, and then adjust the belt to the specified value for a new belt after the engine has cooled.
When inspecting a belt which has been used for over 5 minutes, apply the used belt specifications.
When using a belt tension gauge, confirm its accuracy by using a master gauge first.

INSPECT CO/HC

Start the engine.
Run the engine at 2500 rpm for approximately 180 seconds.
Insert the CO/HC meter testing probe at least 40 cm (1.31 ft.) into the tailpipe while idling.

Check the CO/HC concentration during idling and when the engine is running at 2500 rpm.

Tech Tips

When doing the 2 mode (with the engine idling/ running at 2500 rpm) test, the measuring procedures are determined by applicable local regulations.

If the CO/HC concentration does not comply with the regulations, troubleshoot in the order given below.

Check the air fuel ratio sensor Click here and heated oxygen sensor operation Click here.

See the table below for possible causes, and then inspect the applicable parts and repair them if necessary.
