Camshaft Timing Control Motor: Installation

  1. INSTALL CAMSHAFT TIMING CONTROL WITH EDU MOTOR ASSEMBLY LH 
    1. Turn the camshaft timing gear's intermediate shaft index slot in the counterclockwise direction by hand, and set it to the maximum retard angle position.

      HINT:

      • When the cam of the camshaft lifts the valve, the intermediate shaft becomes difficult to turn.

      • The position where the intermediate shaft stops is the maximum retard angle.
    2. Install a new O-ring to the timing chain cover.
    3. Align the joint of the camshaft timing control with EDU motor and the keyway of the camshaft timing gear, and install the motor with the 3 bolts.

      Torque: 21 N*m (214 kgf*cm, 15 ft.*lbf) 

      NOTE:
      • Do not allow foreign matter to contact the oil seal face of the camshaft timing control with EDU motor (connecting surface with timing chain cover).
      • When installing the camshaft timing control with EDU motor, do not use excessive force.
      • Do not drop the camshaft timing control with EDU motor. If dropped, replace it.
      • Do not disassemble the camshaft timing control with EDU motor. If disassembled, replace it.

      HINT:

      • Check that [L] is printed on the label of the camshaft timing control with EDU motor.
      • When installing the camshaft timing control with EDU motor, be sure to align the timing chain cover knock pin with the camshaft timing control with EDU motor pin hole.
      • Install the camshaft timing control with EDU motor with the arrow facing upward.
    4. Connect the 2 camshaft timing control with EDU motor connectors and engine wire clamp.

      HINT:

      • Check that [R] is printed on the label of the camshaft timing control with EDU motor.
      • When installing the camshaft timing control with EDU motor, be sure to align the timing chain cover knock pin with the camshaft timing control with EDU motor pin hole.
      • Install the camshaft timing control with EDU motor with the arrow facing upward.
    4. Install the engine wire bracket with the bolt.

      Torque: 12 N*m (122 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf) 

    5. Connect the 2 camshaft timing control with EDU motor connectors.

  3. INSTALL INTAKE AIR CONNECTOR PIPE  (See INSTALLATION )
  4. INSTALL NO. 1 AIR CLEANER INLET  (See INSTALLATION )
  5. INSTALL AIR CLEANER INLET COVER SUB-ASSEMBLY  (See INSTALLATION )
  6. INSTALL V-BANK COVER SUB-ASSEMBLY  (See INSTALLATION )
  7. REMOVE COWL TOP VENTILATOR LOUVER RH  (See REMOVAL )
  8. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL 
    CAUTION: Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to prevent airbag and seat belt pretensioner activation.

    HINT:

    Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal so that the maximum retard angle of the camshaft timing control with EDU motor assembly will be learned.

  9. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL 
  10. INSTALL COWL TOP VENTILATOR LOUVER RH  (See INSTALLATION )
  11. PERFORM INITIALIZATION 
    1. Perform initialization (See INITIALIZATION ).
      NOTE: Certain systems need to be initialized after disconnecting and reconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
