Engine Tune-up Preparation
Note. If the accelerator pedal is depressed continuously for a specified time, the engine speed may decrease to the idle speed. This is due to the fuel cut control operation, which prevents overheating, and it does not indicate a malfunction. The engine speed returns to normal control when the accelerator pedal is released.
- Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
- Shift the selector lever (ATX) or shift lever (MTX) to the following position: MTX: Shift lever is in neutral position. ATX: Selector lever is in P or N position. NOTE: The engine coolant temperature and oil temperature can be verified by M-MDS PID "ECT" and "OIL_TEMP".
- Run the engine speed at a constant 2,500 to 3,000 rpm and warm up the engine (engine coolant temperature: 80°C {176°F} or more, oil temperature: 60°C {140°F} or more).
- Turn off all electrical loads with the engine idling.
- If the cooling fan is operating, wait until is stops.
Generator Drive Belt
Note. The generator drive belt deflection/tension inspection is not necessary with the adoption of the drive belt auto tensioner.
Scheme 220
- Verify that the indicator part of the cast hexagon on the drive belt auto tensioner is within the normal range. If it exceeds the limit, replace the drive belt. (See «DRIVE BELT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0]»(ref-615399-S40242248072014051000000) ). (Scheme 220): Locating Drive Belt Auto Tensioner Cast Hexagon Indicator Part
Water Pump Drive Belt
Note. The water pump drive belt deflection/tension inspection is not necessary with the adoption of the stretch-type water pump drive belt.
- Visually inspect or feel that there is no wear, damage, or cracking on the inside and sides of the entire the belt. Even if there is a little wear, damage, or cracking, replace the water pump drive belt. (See «DRIVE BELT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0]»(ref-615399-S40242248072014051000000) ).
- Start the engine to verify that abnormal noise does not occur. If abnormal noise occurs, replace the water pump drive belt. (See «DRIVE BELT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0]»(ref-615399-S40242248072014051000000) ).
No.1 Engine Mount (AWD)
Note. When removing the No.1 engine mount rubber for AWD vehicles, loosen the front crossmember installation bolts and perform the procedure with the front crossmember component lowered to 15-20 mm {0.60-0.78 in}. When removing the No.1 engine mount bracket for AWD vehicles, perform the procedure with the front crossmember component and transfer completely removed from the vehicle.
