2. Check the tension of the drive belt in the following

procedures.

(1) Connect special tool MB992082 to special tool

MB992081 of special tool MB992080.

(2) Press the "POWER" button to turn on the power supply.
(3) Press number key "1". Check to ensure that "No.01"

appears on the upper left of the display and that the
following numeric values are displayed for individual
items (M, W, and S):
M 000.9 g/m
W 010.0 mm/R
S 0100 mm
If numeric values have not been entered (new tool), set
them according to the belt specifications as shown below.
Once you set them, you do not have to set them again.
The settings remain undeleted even after battery
replacement.
NOTE: This operation is to temporarily set the preset
data such as the belt specifications, because if the mea-
surement is taken without input of the belt specifications,
conversion to tension value (N) cannot be made, result-
ing in judgement of error.
<Setting procedure>
a. Press down the "MASS" button till the belt mass select

display appears.

b. Press the "UP" or "DOWN" button to select "01 1.5GT

0.9" and press the "MEASURE" button to decide it.
Check to ensure that "M 000.9 g/m" is displayed.

c. Press the "WIDTH" button to change to the belt width

input display.

d. Press number keys 0, 1, 0, and 0 sequentially, and

press the "SELECT" button to apply them. Check to
ensure that "W 010.0 mm/R" appears on the display.

e. Press the "SPAN" button to change to the span length

input display.

f. Press number keys 0, 1, 0, and 0 sequentially, and

press the "SELECT" button to apply them. Check to
ensure that "S 0100 mm" appears on the display.

(4) Press "Hz" button twice to change the display to the

frequency display (Hz.)

CAUTION

• When measuring, make sure that the engine is cold.
• Measure after turning the crankshaft clockwise one

turn or more.

• Do not allow any contaminants such as water or oil to

get onto the microphone.

• If strong gusts of wind blow against the microphone or

if there are any loud sources of noise nearby, the val-
ues measured by the microphone may not correspond
to actual values.

• If the microphone is touching the belt while the mea-

surement is being made, the values measured by the
microphone may not correspond to actual values.

• Do not take the measurement while the vehicle's engine

is running.

(5) Hold special tool MB992080 to the middle of the belt

between the pulleys (at the place indicated by arrow)
where it does not contact the belt [approximately 10

− 15

mm (0.4

− 0.59 inch) away from the rear surface of the

belt] so that it is perpendicular to the belt (within an angle
of

± 15 degree angle.)

(6) Press the "MEASURE" button.
(7) Gently tap the middle of the belt between the pulleys (the

place indicated by the arrow) with your finger as shown in
the illustration, and check that the vibration frequency of
the belt is within the standard value.

Standard value: 102

− 129 Hz

NOTE: To take the measurement repeatedly, tap the belt
again.

(8) Press and hold the "POWER" button to turn off the power

supply.

3. If not within the standard value, replace the auto-tensioner

<When using a tension gauge>

1. Check the tension of the drive belt (Refer to

P.11A-9

CAUTION

• When measuring, make sure that the engine is cold.
• Measure after turning the crankshaft clockwise one

turn or more.

2. Use a belt tension gauge in the middle of the belt between

the pulleys shown in the figure (at the place indicated by the
arrow) to check that the belt tension is within the standard
value.

Standard value: 248

− 400 N (56 − 90 lb)

3. If not within the standard value, replace the auto-tensioner

Required Special Tool:
MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

1. Before inspection, set the vehicle in the following condition:

• Engine coolant temperature: 80 − 95°C (176 − 203°F)

• Lights and all accessories: OFF

• Transaxle: P range

NOTE: On vehicles for Canada, the headlight, taillight, etc.
remain lit even when the lighting switch is in "OFF" position
but this is no problem for checks.

necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
2. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.

3. Set the timing light to the power supply line (terminal No. 3)

of the ignition coil No. 1.

4. Start the engine and run it at idle.
5. Check that the idle speed is approximately 650 r/min.
6. Select scan tool MB991958 actuator test "item number 11".
7. Check that basic ignition timing is within the standard value.

Standard value: 5

° BTDC ± 3°

8. If the basic ignition timing is not within the standard value,

refer to GROUP 13A, Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) <2.4L
Engine>

P.13A-54

CAUTION

If the actuator test is not canceled, the forced drive will
continue for 27 minutes. Driving in this state could lead to
engine failure.
9. Cancel the setting mode of the scan tool MB991958.
10.Check that the actual ignition timing is at the standard value.

Standard value: Approximately 10

° BTDC

NOTE: The ignition timing fluctuates about

, even under

normal operating condition.
NOTE: It is automatically further advanced by about 5

from

Before Top Dead Center at higher altitudes.

NOTE: Wait till approximately 1 minute passes after the
engine started, and check the ignition timing when the
engine stabilized.
