4. ENGINE TESTS AND MAINTENANCE

A. PRELIMINARY INSPECTION

NOTE

It is always advisable to first use the diagnostic

tool and rectify the electrical faults, before

commencing

with

mechanical

repairs/

troubleshooting. Refer ENGINE MANAGEMENT

SYSTEM section in this group for procedure.

General

Check for leakage of Oil, fuel, and Coolant.

Check for overheating of engine.

Check for unusual smoke.

If there is any fault in the Engine Management

system

(EMS)

then the MIL indicator in the

instrument cluster will come ON. In such a

case connect the diagnostic tester.

(For

procedure refer EMS section).

Before proceeding to carry out actual

reconditioning of engine, it is desirable to have

a preliminary inspection of engine to ascertain

whether an engine reconditioning is necessary

and if so, to what extent.

Most common reasons for which engine is

reconditioned are

1. Loss of power.

2. Excessive engine oil consumption.

3. Extremely low engine oil

pressure.

4. Mechanical failures.

B. ENGINE TESTS

CYLINDER COMPRESSION TEST

1. Warm up engine to operating temperature

(approximately 80 °C, 176 °F).

2. Shut the engine off.

3. Check that fuse of the electric fuel pump has

been removed, before removing the injectors.

4. Remove the fuel injector.

5. Install the dummy injector

(5412 5890 0702)

complete with the injector claw into fuel injector

hole of cylinder to be tested.

6. Install the clamp and tighten the nut 25 N·m (18

ft. lbs.).

7. Connect the compression tester to the fitting

8. Test compression pressure by cranking engine

with starter for at least 8 revolutions.

9. Carry out test procedure at the remaining

cylinders in the same way.

10. Check that there is not a great difference

between the pressure readings for the cylinders.

11. Remove the dummy injector complete with

fitting from cylinder head.

12. Install the fuel injector
