      4. Turn the ignition switch off.
      5. Disconnect the tachometer probe from terminal 9 (TAC) of the DLC3.
  10. INSPECT COMPRESSION 
    NOTE:

    Keep the spark plug holes free of foreign matter when measuring the compression pressure.

    1. Check for DTCs.
    2. Warm up and stop the engine.
    3. Remove the 4 spark plugs.

      Refer to REMOVAL [10/2017 - 12/2021]

    4. Disconnect the 4 fuel injector connectors.
      NOTE:

      Disable fuel injection in order to prevent catalyst damage due to unburned gasoline.

    5. Inspect the cylinder compression pressure.
      1. Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
      2. Fully open the throttle.
      3. While cranking the engine, measure the compression pressure.

        Standard Compression Pressure

        1373 kPa (14.0 kgf/cm2 , 199 psi)

        Minimum Compression Pressure

        980 kPa (10.0 kgf/cm2 , 142 psi)

        Pressure Difference between Each Cylinder

        100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm2 , 15 psi)

        NOTE:
        • Use a fully-charged battery so that the engine speed can be increased to 250 rpm or more.
        • Inspect the other cylinders in the same way.
        • Measure the compression pressure as quickly as possible.
      4. If the cylinder compression pressure is low, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole, then 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 gasket.
    6. Connect the 4 fuel injector connectors.
    7. Install the 4 spark plugs.

      Refer to INSTALLATION [10/2017 - 12/2021]

    8. Clear the DTCs.
      NOTE:

      After the inspection, clear the DTCs, check for DTCs again and make sure the normal system code is output.

  11. INSPECT CO/HC 

    HINT: 

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

    1. Start the engine.
    2. Keep the engine at 2500 rpm for approximately 180 seconds.
    3. Insert a CO/HC meter testing probe at least 40 cm (1.3 ft.) into the tailpipe during idle.
    4. Immediately check the CO/HC concentration during idle and when the engine is running at 2500 rpm.

      HINT: 

      When doing a 2 mode (with the engine idling/running at 2500 rpm) test, 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.
      2. See the following chart for possible causes, then inspect the applicable parts and repair them if necessary.
        CO HC Problem Possible Cause
        Normal High Rough idle
        1. Faulty ignition:
          • Incorrect timing
          • Fouled, shorted or improperly gapped plugs
        2. Incorrect valve clearance
        3. Leaks in intake or exhaust valves
        4. Leaks in cylinders
        Low High Rough idle (Fluctuating HC reading)
        1. Vacuum leaks:
          • PCV hoses
          • Intake manifold
          • Throttle body assembly
          • Brake booster line
        2. Lean mixture causing misfire
        High High Rough idle (Black smoke from exhaust)
        1. Restricted air cleaner filter element sub-assembly
        2. Plugged PCV valve
        3. Faulty EFI systems:
          • Pressure regulator
          • Engine coolant temperature sensor
          • Mass air flow meter
          • ECM
          • Injector assemblies
          • Throttle body assembly
