INSTALLATION

1. INSTALL CAMSHAFT TIMING CONTROL MOTOR LH




a. Turn the camshaft timing gear assembly's intermediate shaft index slot in the counterclockwise direction by hand, and set it to the maximum retard angle position.

HINT:
- When the cam of the camshaft lifts the valve, the intermediate shaft becomes difficult to turn.
- The position where the intermediate shaft stops is the maximum retard angle.

b. Install a new O-ring to the timing chain cover.




c. Align the joint of the camshaft timing control motor and the keyway of the camshaft timing gear assembly, and install the motor with the 3 bolts.

Torque: 21 N.m (214 kgf.cm, 15 ft.lbf)

NOTE:
- Check that [L] is printed on the label of the camshaft timing control motor.
- Do not allow foreign matter to contact the oil seal face of the camshaft timing control motor (connecting surface with timing chain cover sub-assembly).
- When installing the camshaft timing control motor, do not use excessive force.
- Align the timing chain cover sub-assembly knock pin with the camshaft timing control motor pin hole to install the camshaft timing control motor.
- Install the camshaft timing control motor with the arrow facing upward, as given in the illustration.
- Do not drop the camshaft timing control motor. If dropped, replace it.
- Do not disassemble the camshaft timing control motor assembly. If disassembled, replace it.




d. Connect the 2 camshaft timing control motor connectors and engine wire clamp.

2. INSTALL CAMSHAFT TIMING CONTROL MOTOR RH

- Do not disassemble the camshaft timing control motor assembly. If disassembled, replace it.




d. Install the engine wire bracket with the bolt.

Torque: 10 N.m (102 kgf.cm, 7 ft.lbf)

e. Connect the 2 camshaft timing control motor connectors.

3. INSTALL INTAKE AIR CONNECTOR PIPE
4. INSTALL NO. 1 AIR CLEANER INLET
5. INSTALL AIR CLEANER INLET COVER SUB-ASSEMBLY
6. INSTALL V-BANK COVER SUB-ASSEMBLY
7. REMOVE COWL TOP VENTILATOR LOUVER RH

8. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

CAUTION: Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to prevent airbag and seat belt pretensioner activation.

HINT: Disconnect the cable from the from the negative (-) battery terminal so that the maximum retard angle of the camshaft timing control motor assembly will be learned.

9. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
10. INSTALL COWL TOP VENTILATOR LOUVER RH

11. PERFORM INITIALIZATION
a. Perform initialization.

NOTE: Certain systems need to be initialized after disconnecting and reconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
