1. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.

NOTE: When installing the spark plugs, apply a small

amount of anti-seize compound to the spark plug threads,
and screw the spark plugs into the cylinder head, finger-
tight, then tighten the spark plugs to the specified torque.

4. Maintenance Minder - Reset (With Maintenance Minder System)

1. If the Maintenance Minder required to replace the spark

plugs, reset the Maintenance Minder with the gauge (see

Ignition Key Light Test

SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations and the precautions and procedures before
doing repairs or service.

1. Column Covers - Remove

2. Ignition Key Light - Test

1. Disconnect the connector (A).

2. Check the light according to the table.

NOTE:

cardiagn.com
When an LED is located between terminals, check if
the LED illuminates by connecting power and ground to
the LED.
Note this important operating characteristic; diode bias
causes a diode to fully conduct electricity in one
direction (forward), while not at all in the opposite
direction (reverse).

3. If the result is not as specified, the ignition key light is faulty;

replace the steering lock (B).

3. Engine - Warm Up

1. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm with
no load (M/T in neutral, CVT in P or N) until the cooling fan
comes on, then let it idle.

4. If the ignition timing differs from the specification, check the camshaft timing. If the camshaft timing is OK, update the PCM if it
does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If the system works properly, and the PCM
was substituted, replace the original PCM.

Spark Plug Inspection

1. Ignition Coil and Spark Plug - Remove

2. Spark Plug - Inspect

1. Inspect the electrodes and the ceramic insulator.

Burned or worn electrodes may be caused by these

conditions:

－ Advanced ignition timing

－ Loose spark plug

Plug heat range too hot
－
－ Insufficient cooling

cardiagn.com
Fouled plugs may be caused by these conditions:

Retarded ignition timing

－
－ Oil in combustion chamber

－ Incorrect spark plug gap

Plug heat range too cold
－
－ Excessive idling/low speed running
Clogged air cleaner element
－
－ Deteriorated ignition coils

2. Replace the plug at the specified interval, or if the center

electrodes (A) is rounded, or if the spark plug gap (B) is out
of specification.

NOTE:
Do not adjust the gap of iridium tip plugs.
Do not use plug cleaner.

Electrode Gap
Standard (New):
0.7－0.8 mm (0.028－0.031 in)
