Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and select "Belt Tension" from the scan tool menu. CAUTION: The temperature of the surface of the belt should be as close to normal operating temperature as possible. 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 values measured by the microphone may not correspond to actual values. If the microphone is touching the belt while the measurement 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. Hold special tool MB991668 to the middle of the drive belt between the pulleys (at the place indicated by arrow), approximately 10 - 20 mm (0.40 - 0.78 inch) away from the rear surface of the belt so that it is perpendicular to the belt (within +/- 15 degrees). 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 measure that the vibration frequency of the belt is within the standard value. Standard value: 120 - 154 Hz
- If not within the standard value, replace the «AUTO-TENSIONER»(ref-308265-S39372733902009020200000) .

- Before inspection, check that the engine oil, starter and battery are normal. Also, set the vehicle in the following condition: Engine coolant temperature: 80 - 95°C (176 - 203°F) Lights and all accessories: OFF Transaxle: Neutral (P range on vehicles with A/T) 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.
- Remove all of the ignition coils and spark plugs.
- Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector. NOTE: Doing this will prevent the engine control module from carrying out ignition and fuel injection. WARNING: Keep your distance from the spark plug hole when cranking. Oil, fuel, etc., may spray out from the spark plug hole and may cause serious injury.
- Cover the spark plug hole with a shop towel etc., during cranking. After the engine has been cranked, check for foreign material adhering to the shop towel.
- Set a compression gauge to one of the spark plug holes.
- Crank the engine with the throttle valve fully open and measure the compression pressure. Standard value (at engine speed of 200 r/min): 1,560 kPa (226 psi) Minimum limit (at engine speed of 200 r/min): 1,130 kPa (164 psi)
- Measure the compression pressure for all the cylinders, and check that the pressure differences of the cylinders are below the limit. Limit: 98 kPa (14 psi)
- If there is a cylinder with compression or a compression difference that is outside the limit, pour a small amount of engine oil through the spark plug hole, and repeat the operations in steps 6 to 8. If the compression increases after oil is added, the cause of the malfunction is a worn or damaged piston ring and/or cylinder inner surface. If the compression does not rise after oil is added, the cause is a burnt or defective valve seat, or pressure is leaking from the gasket.
- Connect the crankshaft position sensor connector.
- Install the spark plugs and ignition coils.
- Use the scan tool MB991958 to erase the diagnostic trouble codes. NOTE: This will erase the diagnostic trouble code resulting from the crankshaft position sensor connector being disconnected.
