System Inspection

System Inspection

Check Intake/Exhaust System for Leakage
1. Visually/physically inspect the air leakage in intake/exhaust system for the following areas:
- Air cleaner filter element for excessive dirt or for any foreign objects
- Throttle body inlet for damage or for any foreign objects
- Throttle bore and throttle plate for chocking and for any foreign objects
- Restricted exhaust system
2. Inspect the leakage in EVAP. system for the following conditions:
- Check the EVAP canister for fuel saturation. If the EVAP canister is full of fuel, visually and physically inspect the EVAP and fuel system.
3. Was a problem found in any of the above areas ?
YES
1) Replace or repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure
NO
1) Go to next step as below
Sensor Inspection

CAUTION: Refer to "Signal Waveform & Data" in the "General Information" procedure

1. Visually/physically inspect the front HO2S for the following conditions:
- Ensure that the HO2S is securely installed.
- Silicon contamination. This contamination will be indicated by a white powdery coating on the portion of the sensor exposed to the exhaust stream and this will result in a but false (high) voltage signal
- Fuel, engine coolant or oil contamination
- Use of improper sealant
- If contamination is evident on the HO2S, Fix the source of the sensor contamination before replacing the sensor to prevent future contamination. Go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
2. Visually/physically inspect the MAFS for the following conditions:
- Contamination or deterioration
- Poor connection or damaged harness
3. Check for an intermittent TPS 1 false signal. TPS 1 signal displayed on a scantool should increase steadily when depressing accelerator pedal after starting.
4. Verify that the ECM ground connections are clean and properly tightened.
5. If test result is NG, repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
If OK, go to next step as below.

CAUTION: If the contamination is evident on the HO2S or MAFS. Fix the source of the sensor contamination before replacing the sensor to prevent future contamination.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation System Inspection
1. Check the engine oil level. The oil level should be between the min. and max. marking. Fill to the correct oil level
2. Check crankcase ventilation valve for improper installation, damaged o-rings and malfunctioning.
3. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle repair" procedure. If O.K, go to next step.
Fuel System Inspection
1. Fuel Line Pressure Inspection
(1) Check the fuel for excessive water, alcohol, or other contaminants. Replace contaminated fuel as necessary.
(2) Install a fuel pressure gage
(3) Inspect fuel pressure with normal idle status
A. Specification: 338 - 348 kPa (3.45 - 3.55 kg/cm2)
(4) Is fuel pressure within the specified value ?
YES
1) Go to next step as below
NO
1) Inspect the suspected area. Refer to table as below. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.





2. Fuel Pressure Hold Inspection
(1) Stop the engine and check for a change in the fuel pressure gauge reading.
A. Specification: After engine stops, the gauge reading should hold for minimum 5 minutes
(2) Is fuel pressure within the specified value ?
YES
1) Visually/physically inspect the engine mechanical problem. Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure
NO
1) Inspect the leakage or malfunctioning of suspected area. Refer to table as below. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
