Removal
Engine removal is not required for this procedure.
| CAUTION | Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces. To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion. |
Note. Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
| WARNING | In case of removing the high pressure fuel pump, high pressure fuel pipe, delivery pipe, and injector, there may be injury caused by leakage of the high pressure fuel. So don't do any repair work right after engine stops. |

- Remove the engine cover.
- Disconnect the battery negative terminal (A).
- Remove the air cleaner assembly. Remove the air duct (A). Disconnect the breather hose (B). Disconnect the air intake hose (C) and then remove the air cleaner assembly (D).
- Remove the RH front wheel.
- Remove the under covers (A).
- Disconnect the A/C compressor switch connector (A), the alternator connector (B) and the cable from the alternator "B" terminal (C).
- Disconnect the intake OCV (Oil control valve) connector (A) and the exhaust OCV (Oil control valve) connector (B).
- Disconnect the ignition coil connectors (A), the injector extension connector (B), the VIS (Variable intake system) connector (C) and the PCSV (Purge control solenoid valve) connector (D).
- Disconnect the FPCV (Fuel pressure control valve) connector (A), the intake CMPS (Camshaft position sensor) connector (B) and the exhaust CMPS (Camshaft position sensor) connector (C).
- Disconnect the oxygen sensor connectors (A) and the condenser connector (B).
- Disconnect the fuel hose (A) and the PCV (Positive crankcase ventilation) hose (B).
- Remove the vacuum pipe assembly (A).
- Remove the high pressure pipe (A). (Refer to «DELIVERY PIPE»(ref-536090-S33337824992013031400000) FL group)
- Remove the high pressure fuel pump (A) and the roller tappet (B). (Refer to «HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP»(ref-536090-S17368312702013031400000) FL group)
- Remove the ignition coils (A).
- Remove the exhaust OCV (Oil control valve) (B).
- Remove the cylinder head cover (A) with gaskets (B).
- Remove the exhaust OCV (Oil control valve) adapter (A).
- Loosen the water pump pulley bolt and the drive idler mounting bolt.
- Loosen the alternator tension adjusting bolt (A) to loosen tension.
- Remove the alternator drive belt (A).
- Remove the alternator (A). (Refer to «ALTERNATOR»(ref-536081-S32362956892013031400000) Alternator in EE Group).
- Disconnect the ground line (A) and then remove the engine mounting support bracket (A). NOTE: Support the engine with a jack not to be tilted.
- Remove the alternator bracket (B).
- Remove the engine support bracket (A).
- Remove the water pump pulley (A) and the drive belt idler (B).
- Remove the water pump (A).
- Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise, and align its groove with the timing mark of the timing chain cover.
- Remove the crankshaft bolt (B) and crankshaft pulley (A). NOTE: There are two methods to hold the ring gear when installing or removing the crankshaft damper pulley. Install the SST (09231-2B100) to hold the ring gear after removing the starter. Install the SST (09231-3D100) to hold the ring gear after removing the dust cover. Remove the bracket (A). Remove the dust cover (A) and unfasten the transaxle mounting bolt (B). Adjust the length of the holder nuts (A) so that the front plate of the holder (B) puts in the ring gear (C) teeth. Adjust the angle of the links (D), and fasten the bolt 70mm(2.7559in) in the original mounted hole. Tighten the bolts and nuts of the holder and links securely.
- Remove the timing chain cover (A).
- Align the timing marks of the Continuous variable valve timing (CVVT) sprockets with the upper surface of the cylinder head to make No. 1 cylinder be positioned at top dead Center (TDC). Check the dowel pin of the crankshaft for facing upside of the engine at this moment. CAUTION: Put paint marks on the timing chain links(3 places) that meet with the timing marks of the CVVT sprockets (In, Ex: 2) and the CVVT sprocket.
- Remove the hydraulic tensioner (A). CAUTION: Before removing the tensioner, fix the piston of the tensioner with a pin through the hole(B) at compressed position.
- Remove the timing chain tensioner arm (A) and guide (B).
- Remove the timing chain (A).
