Inspection [12/2017 - 10/2020]: Procedure

  1. INSPECT CAM TIMING CONTROL MOTOR WITH EDU ASSEMBLY LH 
    NOTE:
    • Make sure the contact surface of the cam timing control motor with EDU assembly LH (the surface that contacts the No. 2 timing gear cover assembly) is free of foreign matter.
    • If the cam timing control motor with EDU assembly LH has been struck or dropped, replace it.
    • Do not disassemble the cam timing control motor with EDU assembly LH. If disassembled, replace it.
    1. Rotate the joint of the cam timing control motor with EDU assembly LH by hand and check that it rotates smoothly.

      *a Joint

      Standard Condition

      The joint rotates smoothly.

      HINT: 

      Due to the magnetic force of the cam timing control motor with EDU assembly LH the joint may feel as if it is sticking when turning it.

      If the result is not as specified, replace the cam timing control motor with EDU assembly LH.

  2. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING INTAKE GEAR ASSEMBLY LH 
    NOTE:
    • If the camshaft timing gear assembly LH has been struck or dropped, replace it.
    • Do not disassemble the camshaft timing gear assembly LH. If disassembled, replace it.
    1. Rotate the camshaft timing gear assembly LH eccentric shaft by hand.

      *a Eccentric Shaft

      Standard Condition

      The shaft rotates smoothly.

      HINT: 

      • The eccentric shaft may feel difficult to rotate due to the spring inside the camshaft timing gear assembly LH.
      • If the result is not as specified, replace the camshaft timing gear assembly LH.
    2. Inspect the joint clearance.

      *a Cutout
      *b Joint
      1. Using a vernier caliper, measure the width (A) of the cutout of the camshaft timing gear assembly LH eccentric shaft.

        Standard Width

        5.98 to 6.05 mm (0.235 to 0.238 in.)

      2. Using a vernier caliper, measure the width (B) of the joint of the cam timing control motor with EDU assembly LH.

        Standard Width

        5.90 to 5.95 mm (0.232 to 0.234 in.)

      3. Calculate the clearance by subtracting the width (B) of the joint of the cam timing control motor with EDU assembly LH from the width (A) of the cutout of the camshaft timing gear assembly LH eccentric shaft.

        Standard Clearance

        0.03 to 0.15 mm (0.00118 to 0.00591 in.)

        Maximum Clearance

        0.7 mm (0.0276 in.)

        HINT: 

        If the clearance is more than the maximum, replace the camshaft timing gear assembly LH or cam timing control motor with EDU assembly LH.
