        Pressure Difference between Each Cylinder - 1.0 kgf/cm2 or less
        Pressure Difference between Each Cylinder - 15 psi or less
        NOTE:
        • Inspect all cylinders in the same way.
        • Measure the compression pressure as quickly as possible.
        • Noise may be emitted from the hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly. However, this is not a malfunction.
      7. If the cylinder compression pressure is low, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole inspect it again.

        HINT: 

        • If adding oil increases the compression pressure, the piston rings and/or cylinder bore may be worn or damaged.
        • If the compression pressure stays low, a valve may be stuck or seated improperly, or there may be leaks in the cylinder head gasket.
    6. Install the 4 spark plugs.

      HINT: 

      Refer to INSTALLATION [11/2015 - ]

    7. Clear the DTCs.
      NOTE:

      After performing the inspection, clear the DTCs and confirm that DTCs are not stored again or that the normal system code is output if using a check wire.

      HINT: 

      Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [11/2015 - 07/2020]

  10. INSPECT CO/HC 

    HINT: 

    This check determines whether or not the idle CO/HC complies with regulations.

    1. Put the engine in inspection mode.

      Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Utility 

      Tester Display
      Inspection Mode
    2. Run the engine at 2500 rpm for approximately 180 seconds.
    3. Insert a CO/HC meter testing probe at least 40 cm (1.31 ft.) into the tailpipe during idle.
    4. Immediately check the CO/HC concentration at idle and then at an engine speed of 2500 rpm.

      HINT: 

      • When performing a 2 mode test (with the engine idling/running at 2500 rpm), the measurement procedures are determined by applicable local regulations.
      • If the CO/HC concentration does not comply with the regulations, perform troubleshooting in the order given below.
      1. Check for DTCs.

        HINT: 

        Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [11/2015 - 07/2020]

      2. See the following table for possible causes, then inspect the applicable parts and repair them if necessary.
