Installation [02/2014 - 11/2016]: Procedure

  1. INSTALL EXHAUST PIPE GAS CONTROL ACTUATOR SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    1. Clean the installation surfaces and bolt holes of the exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly and center exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst).

      *1 Exhaust By-pass Pipe
      *2 O-ring
    3. Install the exhaust by-pass pipe to the exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly.
      NOTE:
      • When reusing the exhaust by-pass pipe, inspect the O-ring.
      • If the O-ring has scratches or cuts, replace the exhaust by-pass pipe.
      • Make sure that the O-ring and the fitting section of the exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly are free of oil or foreign matter.
      • Do not touch the O-ring or fitting section of the exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly.
    4. Set the exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly and exhaust by-pass pipe in place and confirm that the hook of the exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly is engaged with the valve pin.

      *b Valve Pin
    5. Loosely install the 3 bolts several threads. (Step (A))

      HINT: 

      Do not tighten these bolts at this time as the exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly will need to be adjusted.

    6. Install the exhaust by-pass pipe with the 2 bolts.

      Torque: 8.5 N*m (87 kgf*cm, 75 in.*lbf) 

    7. Confirm the valve plate is positioned correctly by pressing the valve plate.

      *a Valve Plate
      *b Insertion direction

      HINT: 

      If the valve plate is not positioned correctly, the final exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly position may be difficult to achieve.

    8. Position the exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly so that 3.5 to 6.5 mm (0.138 to 0.256 in.) of the valve pin is protruding past the hook of the exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly.

      *b Valve Pin
      *c Protrusion length
      *d Perpendicular
      *e Adjust the installation position
    9. Tighten the 3 bolts in the order shown in the illustration in several steps.

      Torque: 5.0 N*m (51 kgf*cm, 44 in.*lbf) 

    10. Measure the length of the valve pin that protrudes beyond the hook.

      Standard Protrusion Length

      3.5 to 6.5 mm (0.138 to 0.256 in.)

      HINT: 

      • If the hook is not installed within the specified range, loosen the 3 bolts of the exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly and 2 bolts of the exhaust by-pass pipe and perform the steps from step (A).
      • If installation within the specified range cannot be obtained, replace the center exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst).
    11. Adjust the installation position of the exhaust by-pass pipe.
      1. Loosen the 2 bolts slightly.
        NOTE:

        Do not remove these 2 bolts.

      2. Move the exhaust by-pass pipe up and down to properly settle the O-ring.

        *a OK (O-ring is not deformed.)
        *b NG (O-ring is deformed.)
        NOTE:

        Make sure to settle the O-ring to distribute the pressure applied to the upper part of the O-ring. Failure to do so may cause engine coolant to leak.

      3. Tighten the 2 bolts.

        Torque: 8.5 N*m (87 kgf*cm, 75 in.*lbf) 

    12. When replacing the exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly with a new one:
      1. Remove the spacer from a new exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly.

        *a Spacer

        HINT: 

        The spacer is provided with a new exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly.

  2. INSTALL CENTER EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY (TWC: Rear Catalyst) 

    Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 5

  3. INSTALL HEATER COVER 

    Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 6

  4. INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY 

    Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 7

  5. ADD ENGINE COOLANT (for Engine) 

    See step  3

  6. INSPECT FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAK (for Engine)
