Compression Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
WARNING:
- Hot engines and oil can cause severe burns. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal/installation of each component.
- Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel.
- Highly pressurized fuel may spray out if the fuel line is cut. Due to the following dangers occurring with a fuel spray, always complete the "FUEL LINE SAFETY PROCEDURE
" to prevent the fuel from spraying.
- Fuel may cause irritation if it comes in contact with skin and eyes.
- If fuel ignites and causes a fire, it may lead to serious injury or death, and damage to property and facilities.
- Verify that the battery is fully charged. (See BATTERY INSPECTION [(US)] .)
- Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
- Warm up the engine to the normal operating temperature.
- Display the following PIDs using the M-MDS data monitor function. (See PCM INSPECTION
.)
- RPM (engine speed)
- Perform the "Fuel Line Safety Procedure" to remove the fuel pump relay. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION .)
- Remove the following parts.
- Plug hole plate. (See PLUG HOLE PLATE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Ignition coil/ion sensors. (See IGNITION COIL/ION SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Spark plugs. (See SPARK PLUG REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Measure the compression pressure using the following procedure.
- Install the compression gauge to the spark plug hole.
- Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
NOTE:- The cranking method is as follows.
MTX
- When the ignition switch is pressed with the clutch pedal depressed, cranking starts.
- When your foot is removed from the clutch pedal during cranking, cranking stops.
- When the ignition switch is pressed during cranking, cranking stops.
ATX
- When the ignition switch is pressed with the brake pedal depressed, cranking starts.
- When the ignition switch is pressed during cranking, cranking stops.
- Remove the compression gauge.
- Install the following parts.
- Spark plugs. (See SPARK PLUG REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Ignition coil/ion sensors. (See IGNITION COIL/ION SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Plug hole plate. (See PLUG HOLE PLATE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Install the fuel pump relay. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION .)
