| OK | |
| 3.CHECK VALVE TIMING |

Remove the cylinder head cover bank 1 and bank 2.
Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with the timing mark "0" of the timing chain cover.
Rotate the crankshaft pulley and align its notch to timing mark 0 of the timing chain cover. Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing gears and camshaft timing exhaust gears are at the positions shown in the illustration.
Reinstall the cylinder head cover.

| 4.CONFIRM WHETHER MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED |
To initialize the ECM's valve timing, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal for 1 minute.
Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using the intelligent tester.
Start the engine and idle it for 5 minutes.
