e.
A156613

Inspect the cylinder compression pressure.

i.

Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.


ii.

Fully open the throttle.


iii.

While cranking the engine, measure the compression pressure.

Standard Compression Pressure:

980 kPa (10.0 kgf/cm2, 142 psi)


Minimum Compression Pressure:

784 kPa (8.0 kgf/cm2, 114 psi)


Difference between Each Cylinder:

98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm2, 14.2 psi) or less


NOTICE:
·

Use a fully-charged battery so that the engine speed can be increased to 250 rpm or more.

·

Inspect the other cylinders in the same way.

·

Measure the compression pressure as quickly as possible.




iv.

If the cylinder compression pressure is low, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole, then inspect it again.

HINT:
·

If adding oil increases the compression pressure, the piston rings and/or cylinder bore may be worn or damaged.

·

If the compression pressure stays low, a valve may be stuck or seated improperly, or there may be leaks in the gasket.





f.

Connect the 4 fuel injector connectors.



h.

Clear the DTCs.

Click hereEngine / Hybrid System>2NZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL>SFI SYSTEM>DTC CHECK / CLEAR

d.

Immediately check the CO/HC concentration during idle and when the engine is running at 2500 rpm.

HINT:

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

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