3.

Make sure that tension of each belt is within the standard.

DRIVE BELT : Inspection

INFOID:0000000011497392

INSPECTION

WARNING:

Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.

1.

Inspect drive belt for cracks, fraying, wear and oil. Replace drive belt if necessary.

2.

Manually evaluate the drive belt tension (tension cannot be measured using frequency meter).

3.

Replace drive belt when tension is beyond normal operating limit.

CAUTION:

Auto-tensioner must be replaced with a new one when the belt is replaced.

DRIVE BELT : Adjustment

INFOID:0000000011497393

Belt tensioning is not necessary, as it is automatically adjusted by auto-tensioner.

ENGINE COOLANT

ENGINE COOLANT : Inspection

INFOID:0000000011497408

LEVEL 

• Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the “MIN”

to “MAX” when the engine is cool.

• Adjust the engine coolant level as necessary.
• Check that the reservoir tank cap is tightened.

WARNING:

Never remove reservoir tank cap when engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping
from reservoir tank.

LEAKAGE

• To check for leakage, fit the adapter (B) to the reservoir tank, and

then connect it to the reservoir tank cap tester [SST: — (M.S.554-
07)] (A) as shown.

WARNING:

Never remove reservoir tank cap when engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant escap-
ing from reservoir tank.

CAUTION:

Higher test pressure than specified may cause radiator dam-
age.

• If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.

ENGINE COOLANT : Draining

INFOID:0000000011497409

WARNING:

• Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns may occur from high-pressure engine

coolant escaping from radiator. 

• Wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a turn to release built-up pres-

sure. Then turn it all the way.

1.

Remove engine under cover.

2.

Remove reservoir tank cap.

After warming up engine, check that there is no leakage of engine oil with running engine.

ENGINE OIL : Draining

INFOID:0000000010503178

WARNING:

• Be careful not to get burned, as engine oil may be hot.
• Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin

contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as
soon as possible. 

1.

Warm up the engine, and check for engine oil leakage from engine components. Refer to 

MA-107,

"ENGINE OIL : Inspection"

.

2.

Stop the engine and wait for 10 minutes.

3.

Remove engine undercover.

4.

Loosen oil level gauge.

5.

Remove oil pan drain plug (1) using a square driver [8 mm
(0.315 in)]. Drain engine oil.

ENGINE OIL : Refilling

INFOID:0000000010503179

1.

Install drain plug with new washer.

CAUTION:

Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.

2.

Refill with new engine oil.
Engine oil specification and viscosity: Refer to 

MA-59, "Fluids and Lubricants"

.

CAUTION:

• The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-

tions for reference only.

• Always use oil level gauge to determine the proper amount of engine oil in the engine.

3.

Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter body for engine oil leakage.

4.

Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.

5.

Check the engine oil level. Refer to 

LU-48, "Inspection"

.

6.

Perform "Engine oil data reset". Refer to 

EC9-159, "Work Procedure"

.

5.

When engine coolant spill from heater hose with continuous
flow, connect heater hose and continue filling reservoir tank until
reach “MAX” level 

6.

7.

Install radiator cap.

8.

Warm up engine at 3000 rpm until thermostat is opened.
• Check thermostat opening condition by touching radiator hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.

CAUTION:

Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat engine.

9.

Stop the engine and cool down to less than approximately 50

°

C (122

°

F).

• Cool down using fan to reduce the time.
• If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.

CAUTION:

Never adhere the engine coolant to electronic equipments (alternator etc.).

10. Refill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant.

11. Repeat steps 7 through 10 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no

longer drops. 

12. Check cooling system for leakage with engine running.

13. Warm up the engine, and check for flowing noise while repeat at least three time slow acceleration from

idle up to 3,000 rpm.

14. If flowing noise is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating step 7 through 13 until the flowing

noise is longer heard.
