VALVE CLEARANCE (for DPF) ADJUSTMENT

Note


  • When replacing the injectors (including shuffling the injectors between the cylinders), common rail or cylinder head, it is necessary to replace the injection pipes with new ones.

  • When replacing the fuel supply pump, common rail, cylinder block, cylinder head, cylinder head gasket or timing gear case, it is necessary to replace the fuel inlet pipe with a new one.

  • After removing the injection pipes, clean them with a brush and compressed air.

Tech Tips

The injectors do not need to be removed when inspecting the valve clearance.

      Align the matchmarks of the crankshaft pulley and timing gear case cover by rotating the crankshaft clockwise.

      Tech Tips

      Make sure that both cam lobes (intake side and exhaust side) of the No. 1 cylinder face upward.

      *1 Exhaust
      *2 Intake
      *a Front

      Check only the valves indicated.


      1. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the valve lifter and camshaft.

        Standard Valve Clearance (Cold)
        Item Specified Condition
        Intake 0.2 to 0.3 mm (0.008 to 0.012 in.)
        Exhaust 0.35 to 0.45 mm (0.014 to 0.018 in.)

        Write down any valve clearance measurements that are not within the specified range. These measurements will be used later to determine the size of the adjustment lifter to be installed.

    2. Turn the crankshaft 360° to set the No. 4 cylinder to TDC/compression.

  4. ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE


    1. Remove the injector.

    2. Remove the timing belt.

    3. Remove the camshaft timing pulley.

    4. Remove the No. 2 timing belt cover.

    5. Remove the camshafts.

    6. Remove the valve lifters.

    7. A01DVS9E01

      Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the removed lifter.

    8. Calculate the thickness of a new lifter so that the valve clearance is within the specified range.

      A B C
      New lifter thickness Used lifter thickness Measured valve clearance
      New lifter thickness
      Intake: A = B + (C - 0.25 mm (0.0098 in.))
      Exhaust: A = B + (C - 0.40 mm (0.0157 in.))

    9. Select a new lifter with a thickness as close as possible to the calculated values.

      Tech Tips

      Valve lifters are available in 35 sizes in increments of 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.), from 5.06 mm (0.1992 in.) to 5.74 mm (0.2260 in.).

  7. BLEED AIR FROM FUEL SYSTEM


    1. A01DYNDE02

      Using the hand pump mounted on the fuel filter cap, bleed the air from the fuel system. Continue pumping until the pump resistance increases.

      Note


      • Hand pump pumping speed: Max. 2 strokes/ sec.

      • The hand pump must be pushed with a full stroke during pumping.

      • When the fuel pressure at the supply pump inlet port reaches a saturated pressure, the hand pump resistance increases.

      • If pumping is interrupted during the air bleeding process, fuel in the fuel line may return to the fuel tank. Continue pumping until the hand pump resistance increases.

      • If the hand pump resistance does not increase despite consecutively pumping 200 times or more, there may be a fuel leak between the fuel tank and fuel filter, the hand pump may be malfunctioning, or the vehicle may have run out of fuel.

      • If air bleeding using the hand pump is incomplete, the common rail pressure does not rise to the pressure range necessary for normal use, and the engine cannot be started.

    2. Check if the engine starts.

      Note


      • Even if air bleeding using the hand pump has been completed, the starter may need to be cranked for 10 seconds or more to start the engine.

      • Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 20 seconds. The battery may be discharged.

      • Use a fully-charged battery.


      1. When the engine can be started, proceed to the next step.

      2. If the engine cannot be started, bleed the air again using the hand pump until the hand pump resistance increases (refer to the procedures above). Then start the engine.

    3. Turn the ignition switch off.

    4. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    5. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester on.

      Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Test the Fuel Leak.*2

    9. Perform the following test 5 times with on/off intervals of 10 seconds: Active Test / Test the Fuel Leak.*3

    10. Allow the engine to idle for 3 minutes or more after performing the Active Test for the fifth time.

      A01DYT1E05

      Tech Tips

      When the Active Test "Test the Fuel Leak" is used to change the pump control mode, the actual fuel pressure inside the common rail drops below the target fuel pressure when the Active Test is off, but this is normal and does not indicate a pump malfunction.

    11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.

    12. Read Current DTCs.

    13. Clear the DTCs Click here.

      Tech Tips

      It is necessary to clear the DTCs, as DTC P1604 or P1605 may be stored when air is bled from the fuel system after replacing or repairing fuel system parts.

    14. Repeat steps *1 to *3.

    15. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.

    16. Read Current DTCs.

      OK
      No DTCs are output.

        • The fuel pressure inside the common rail increases to the specified value and the engine speed increases to 2000 rpm when the Active Test is performed.

        • The above conditions are maintained while the Active Test is being performed.
