LASH ADJUSTER CHECK
If an abnormal noise (knocking) that seems to be coming
from the lash adjuster is heard after starting the engine and
does not stop, carry out the following check.

(1) The abnormal noise which is caused by a problem
(2) If there is a problem with the lash adjusters, the noise

with the lash adjusters is generated after the engine
is started, an d will vary according to the engine speed.
However, this noise is not related to the actual engine
load.
Because of this, if the noise does not occur
immediately after the engine is started, if it does not
change in accordance with the engine speed, or if
it changes in accordance with the engine load, the
source of the noise is not the lash adjusters.
will almost never disappear, even if the engine has
been run at idle to let it warm up.
The only case where the noise might disappear is
if the oil in the engine has not been looked after
properly and oil sludge has caused the lash adjusters
to stick.
11A-5
1.Start the engine.
2.Check that the noise occurs immediately after the engine
is started, and that the noise changes in accordance
with changes in the engine speed.
If the noise does not occur immediately after the engine
is started, or if it does not change in accordance with
the engine speed, the problem is not being caused by
the lash adjusters, so check for some other cause of
the problem. Moreover, if the noise does not change in
accordance with the engine speed, the cause of the
problem is probably not with the engine. (In these cases,
the lash adjusters are normal.)
3.While the engine is idling, check that the noise level does
not change when the engine load is varied.
If the noise level changes, the cause of the noise is
probably parts striking because of worn crankshaft
bearings or connecting rod bearings. (In such cases, the
lash adjusters are normal.)
11A-6
ENGINE <4G1> -
4.After the engine has warmed up, run it at idle and check
if any noise can be heard.
If the noise has become smaller or disappeared, oil sludge
could make the lash adjusters stick. Clean the lash
adjusters. (Refer to the Engine Workshop Manual.) If not
improved, go to step 5.
5.Bleed air from the lash adjusters.
6.If the noise has not disappeared even after the air
bleeding, clean the lash adjusters. (Refer to the Engine
Workshop Manual.)

1.Check the engine oil and replenish or replace the oil

(1) If there is a only small amount of oil, air will be drawn

(2) If the amount of oil is greater than normal, then the
oil will being mixed by the crankshaft and a large
amount of air may get mixed into the oil.
(3) If the oil is degenerated, air and oil will not separate
easily in oil, and the amount of air mixed into the
oil will increase.
(4) If the air which has been mixed in with the oil due
to any of the above reasons gets into the high pressure
chamber of the lash adjuster, the air inside the high
pressure chamber will be compressed when the valve
is open and the lash adjuster will over-compress,
resulting in abnormal noise when the valve closes.
This is the same effect as if the valve clearance is
adjusted to be too large by mistake. If the air inside
the lash adjusters is then released, the operation
of the lash adjusters will return to normal.

the lash adjusters are normal.)
3.While the engine is idling, check that the noise level does
not change when the engine load is varied (for example,
by shifting from N ® D).
If the noise level changes, the cause of the noise is
probably parts striking because of worn crankshaft

NOTE
1.If the engine warning lamp illuminates because of a malfunction of the engine-ECU, communication
between MUT-II and the engine-ECU is impossible. In this case, the diagnosis code cannot be read.
2.After the engine-ECU has detected a malfunction, the engine warning lamp illuminates when the
engine is next turned on and the same malfunction is re-detected. However, for items marked with
a“L” in the diagnosis code number column, the engine warning lamp illuminates only on the first
detection of the malfunction.
3.After the engine warning lamp illuminates, it will be switched off under the following conditions.
(1) When the engine-ECU monitored t he power train malfunction three times* and met set condition
requirements, it detected no malfunction.
*:In this case, “one time” indicates from engine start to stop.
(2) For misfiring malfunction, when driving conditions (engine speed, engine coolant temperature,
etc.) are similar to those when the malfunction was first recorded.
4.Sensor 1 indicates the sensor mounted at a position closest to the engine, and sensor 2 indicates
the sensor mounted at the position second closest to the engine.

Troubleshooting
METHOD OF READING AND ERASING DIAGNOSIS
CODES
Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points.
DIAGNOSIS USING DIAGNOSIS 2 MODE
1.Switch the diagnosis mode of the engine control unit
to DIAGNOSIS 2 mode using the MUT-II.
2.Carry out a road test.
3.Take a reading of the diagnosis code a n d repair the
problem location.
4.Turn the ignition switch to OFF and then back to ON
again.
NOTE
By turning the ignition switch to OFF, the engine-ECU
will switch the diagnosis mode from DIAGNOSIS 2 mode
to DIAGNOSIS 1 mode.
5.Erase the diagnosis codes.
INSPECTION USING MUT-IIDATA LIST AND
ACTUATOR TESTING
1.Carry out inspection by means of the data list and the
actuator test function. If there is an abnormality, check
and repair the chassis harnesses and components.
2.After repairing, re-check using the MUT-II and check that
the abnormal input and output have returned to normal
as a result of t he repairs.
3.Erase the diagnosis code memory.
4.Remove the MUT-II, and then start the engine again and
carry out a road test to confirm that the problem has
disappeared.
MPI <4G1> -
FREEZE FRAME DATA
When the engine-ECU detects a malfunction and stores a
diagnosis code, it also stores a current status of the engine.
This function is called“freeze frame data.” By analyzing
this “freeze frame” data with the MUT-II, an effective
troubleshooting can be performed.
Displayed items of freeze frame data are shown in the
following:
NOTE
If malfunctions have been detected in multiple systems, store
one malfunction only, which has been detected first.
READINESS TEST STATUS
The engine-ECU monitors the following main diagnosis items,
judges if these items are in good condition or not, and the
stores its history. This history can be read out by using MUT-II.
(If the ECU has judged a item before, the MUT-II displays
“Complete.”)
In addition, if diagnosis codes are erased or the battery
cable is disconnected, this history will also be erased (the
memory will be reset).
When the main sensor malfunctions are detected by the diagnosis function, the vehicle is controlled
by means of the pre-set control logic to maintain safe conditions for driving.
