Pump the tester to 118 kPa (1.2 kgf/cm2, 17.1 psi), and then check that the pressure does not drop.
If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator assembly and water pump assembly for leaks. If there are no signs or traces of external engine coolant leaks, check the heater core, cylinder block and head.
| 88. INSPECT RESERVOIR ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL |
![]() |
The engine coolant should be between the LOW and FULL lines when the engine is cold.
| *1 | Full Line |
| *2 | Low Line |
| 89. INSPECT FOR ENGINE OIL LEAK |
| 90. INSPECT FOR MANUAL TRANSAXLE OIL LEAK (for Manual Transaxle) |
![]() |
Check that the oil surface is within 5 mm (0.20 in.) of the bottom of the manual transmission filler plug opening.
| *1 | 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.20 in.) |
Check for oil leakage when the oil level is low.
Install the manual transmission filler plug and a new gasket.
| 91. INSPECT CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE FLUID LEAK (for CVT) |
Clean the area and check for fluid leaks.
| 92. INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK |
| 93. INSPECT FOR FUEL LEAK |
| 94. INSPECT FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK (w/ Air Conditioning System) |
After recharging the refrigerant gas, check for refrigerant gas leakage using a halogen leak detector.
Perform the operation as follows:
Using the halogen leak detector, check the refrigerant line, especially at the connection points, for leakage.
![]() |
Bring the halogen leak detector close to the drain hose before performing the test.
| *1 | Drain hose |
| *2 | Halogen leak detector |
If no gas leakage is detected from the drain hose, remove the blower motor from the cooling unit. Insert the halogen leak detector sensor into the unit and perform the test.
Disconnect the pressure switch connector and leave it for approximately 20 minutes. Bring the halogen leak detector close to the pressure switch and perform the test.
| 95. INSPECT IGNITION TIMING |
Warm up and stop the engine.
When using the intelligent tester: Check the ignition timing.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Start the engine and run it at idle.
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / IGN Advance.
| Transaxle | Ignition Timing |
| Manual Transaxle | 0 to 10 degrees BTDC |
| CVT | -5 to 5 degrees BTDC |
Check that the ignition timing advances immediately when the engine speed is increased.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Connect the TC and TE1 / ON.
Monitor IGN Advance of the Data List.
| Transaxle | Ignition Timing |
| Manual Transaxle | 8 to 12 degrees BTDC |
| CVT |
Enter the following menus: Connect the TC and TE1 / OFF.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Disconnect the intelligent tester from the DLC3.
When not using the intelligent tester:
![]() |
Using SST, connect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
![]() |
Connect the clip of the timing light to the wire harness.
Inspect the ignition timing at idle.
| Transaxle | Ignition Timing |
| Manual Transaxle | 8 to 12 degrees BTDC |
| CVT |
Disconnect SST from terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
Inspect the ignition timing at idle.
| Transaxle | Ignition Timing |
| Manual Transaxle | 0 to 10 degrees BTDC |
| CVT | -5 to 5 degrees BTDC |
Confirm that the ignition timing advances when the engine rpm is increased.
Remove the timing light.
| 96. INSPECT ENGINE IDLING SPEED |
Warm up and stop the engine.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Start the engine and run it at idle.
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Engine Speed.
Inspect the engine idle speed.
| Transaxle | Idling Speed |
| Manual Transaxle | 550 to 650 rpm |
| CVT | 600 to 700 rpm |
Turn the ignition switch off.
Disconnect the intelligent tester from the DLC3.
| 97. INSPECT CO/HC |
Start the engine.
Run the engine at 2500 rpm for approximately 180 seconds.
Insert the CO/HC meter testing probe at least 40 cm (1.3 ft.) into the tailpipe while idling.
Check the CO/HC concentration during idle and when the engine is running at 2500 rpm.
Check the A/F sensor and heated oxygen sensor operation.
See the table below for possible causes, and then inspect the applicable parts and repair them if necessary.
| CO | HC | Problem | Possible Cause |
| Normal | High | Rough idle |
|
| Low | High | Rough idle (Fluctuating HC reading) |
|
| High | High | Rough idle (Black smoke from exhaust) |
