MH063434 | Measuring compression pressure + A drop in compression pressure can be used as a guide to determine when the engine should be overhauled, + Measure the compression pressure at regular intervals. Keeping track of its transitions can provide a useful tool for troubleshooting. On new vehicles and vehicles with newly replaced parts, the compression pressure will be ‘somewhat higher depending on the break-in condition of piston rings, valve seats, etc., but this will return to nor- mal as the parts wear down. * Before the compression measurement, confirm that the engine oil, starter, and battery are in normal condition. + Place the vehicle in the following conditions. + Warm up the engine until the coolant temperature reaches approximately 75 to 85°C (167 to 185°F}. + Tum off the lights and auxiliaries, + Place the transmission in neutral (in the parking range P for automatic transmissions). + Place the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position, + Remove the fuse (M9) to prevent fuel from being injected when the engine is cranked by the starter. CAUTION A + When cranking the engine, never shut off the power to the engine ECU by disconnecting the engine ECU connector or the like. + If the engine is cranked while shutting off the power to the engine ECU, the ECU cannot control the supply pump and this may cause failure to the pump. 1-14
