INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE FOR
LEARNING VALUE IN MPI ENGINE

Initialization Procedure
1. After the ignition switch is in "LOCK" (OFF)

position, connect MUT-II/III with the diagnosis
connector.

2. Select the item on the screen of the initialization

for learning, and perform the initialization.

NOTE: *

1

: Initialize A/T-related learning value.

NOTE: *

2

: After initializing the learning value, the

idling learning in MPI engine is required (Refer to
LEARNING PROCEDURE FOR IDLING IN MPI
ENGINE).
NOTE: *

3

: The datum items on MUT-II/III display are

shown, but do not use them.

LEARNING PROCEDURE FOR IDLING IN
MPI ENGINE

Purpose
When the engine-ECU <M/T> or the
engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> is replaced, or when the
learning value is initialized, the idling is not stabilized
because the learning value in MPI engine is not
completed. In this case, carry out the learning
method for the idling through the following
procedures.

Learning Procedure
1. Start the engine and carry out the warm-up for the

engine coolant temperature to reach 80

°

C or

more.

2. When the engine coolant temperature is 80

°

C or

more, the warm-up is not needed if the ignition
switch is in "ON" position once.

3. Place the ignition switch in "LOCK" (OFF) position

and stop the engine.

4. After 10 seconds or more, start the engine again.
5. For 10 minutes, carry out the idling under the

condition shown below and then confirm the
engine has the normal idling.

•

Transmission: Neutral (A/T: "P" range)

•

Operation in ignition-related, fan and
attachments: Not to be operated

•

Engine coolant temperature: 80

°

C or more

NOTE: When the engine stalls during the idling,
check the dirtiness (on the throttle valve) of the
throttle body and then perform the service from
Procedure 1 again.

SERVICING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

CAUTION

Before connecting or disconnecting the negative
(

−

) cable, be sure to turn off the ignition switch

and the lighting switch (If this is not done, there
is the possibility of semiconductor parts being
damaged).

Before replacing a component related to the
electrical system and before undertaking any repair
procedures involving the electrical system, be sure to
first disconnect the negative (

−

) cable from the

battery in order to avoid damage caused by
short-circuiting.

APPLICATION OF ANTI-CORROSION
AGENTS AND UNDERCOATS

If oil or grease gets onto the oxygen sensor, it will
cause a drop in the performance of the sensor.
Cover the oxygen sensor with a protective cover
when applying anti-corrosion agents and undercoats.

PRE-INSPECTION CONDITION

"Pre-inspection condition" refers to the condition that
the vehicle must be in before proper engine
inspection can be carried out. If you see the words
"Set the vehicle to the pre-inspection condition". In
this manual, it means to set the vehicle to the
following condition.

•

Engine coolant temperature 80 to 90

°

C

•

Lamps, electric cooling fan and all accessories:
OFF

•

M/T: Neutral

•

A/T: P range

VEHICLE WASHING

If high-pressure car-washing equipment or steam
car-washing equipment is used to wash the vehicle,
be sure to note the following information in order to
avoid damage to plastic components, etc.

•

Spray nozzle distance: Approx. 40 cm or more

•

Spray pressure: 3,900 kPa or less

•

Spray temperature: 82

°

C or less

•

Time of concentrated spray to one point: within
30 sec.

IN ORDER TO PREVENT VEHICLES
FROM FIRE

"Improper installation of electrical or fuel related parts
could cause a fire. In order to retain the high quality
and safety of the vehicle, it is important that any
accessories that may be fitted or
modifications/repairs that may be carried out which
involve the electrical or fuel systems, MUST be
carried out in accordance with MMC's
information/Instructions".

ENGINE OILS

Health Warning
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In
addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
Adequate means of skin protection and washing
facilities must be provided.

Recommended Precautions
The most effective precaution is to adapt working
practices which prevent, as far as practicable, the
risk of skin contact with mineral oils, for example by
using enclosed systems for handling used engine oil
and by degreasing components, where practicable,
before handling them.
Other precautions:

•

Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.

•

Wear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where practicable.

•

Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly
underpants, with oil.

•

Do not put oily rags in pockets, the use of overalls
without pockets will avoid this.

•

Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and
oil-impregnated foot-wear. Overalls must be
cleaned regularly and kept separately from
personal clothing.

•

Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye
protection should be worn, for example, chemical
goggles or face shields; in addition an eye wash
facility should be provided.

•

Obtain First Aid treatment immediately for open
cuts and wounds.

•

Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure all
oil is removed, especially before meals (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). After
cleaning, the application of preparations
containing lanolin to replace the natural skin oils
is advised.

•

Do not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil,
thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.

•

Use barrier creams, applying them before each
work period, to help the removal of oil from the
skin after work.

•

If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice
without delay.
