Basic Inspection

NOTE: When the malfunction code is not confirmed in the DTC check, trouble shooting should carried out in all the possible circuits considered as the cause of the problems. In many cases, by carrying out the basic engine check shown in the following flow chart, the location causing the problem can be found quickly and efficiently. Therefore, this check is essential in the engine trouble shooting.
  1. Check if battery voltage is 11 V or more when the engine is stopped. If the voltage is as specified, go to next step. If the voltage is not as specified, charge or replace the battery.
  2. Check if the engine cranks. If the engine cranks, go to next step. If the engine does not crank, see appropriate STARTERS article in ENGINES and continue to trouble shoot.
  3. Check if the engine starts. If the engine starts, go to next step. If the engine does not start, go to step  7.
  4. Remove the air filter and visually check that the air filter is not dirty or excessive oily. If necessary, clean the air filter with compressed air. First blow from the inside thoroughly, then blow from outside of the air filter. If the results are OK, go to next step. If the results are not good, repair or replace.
  5. Check the idle speed. See ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS - V6 & V8 article. If the results are OK, go to next step. If the results are not good, see TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article.
  6. Check the ignition timing. See ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS - V6 & V8 article. If the results are OK, see TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article. If the results are not good, see BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - V6 & V8 article and continue to trouble shoot.
  7. Check the fuel pressure. See BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - V6 & V8 article. If the results are OK, go to next step. If the results are not good, see BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - V6 & V8 article and continue to trouble shoot.
  8. Check for spark. See BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - V6 & V8 article. If the results are OK, see TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article. If the results are not good, see BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - V6 & V8 article and continue to trouble shoot.
