1. Make sure you have the anti-theft codes for the radio and the navigation system, then write down the customer's audio presets.
2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery first, then disconnect the positive cable.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Drain the engine coolant.
5. Remove the upper radiator hose.





6. Remove the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve.
7. Remove the timing belt.

12. Apply new engine oil to the threads of the camshaft pulley mounting bolt, then install the front camshaft pulley.
13. Install the rocker arm assembly, then tighten the mounting bolts.
14. Install the timing belt.
15. Adjust the valve clearance.
16. Fill the radiator with engine coolant and bleed the air out.
17. Install the battery. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper, then assemble them and apply grease to prevent corrosion.
18. Do the power window control unit reset procedure.
19. Do the crankshaft position (CKP) pattern clear/CKP pattern learn procedure.
20. Enter the anti-theft codes for the radio and the navigation system, then enter the customer's audio presets. Set the clock.
21. If the IMA battery level gauge (BAT) displays no segments, start the engine, and hold it between 3,500 rpm and 4,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the BAT displays at least three segments.

REAR
1. Relieve the fuel pressure.
2. Drain the engine coolant.
3. Remove the water passage.
4. Remove the quick-connect fitting cover (A), then disconnect the fuel feed hose.





5. Remove the timing belt.
6. Remove the rear rocker arm assembly.
7. Remove the rear camshaft pulley.
8. Remove the thrust cover (A), then remove the rear camshaft (B).





9. Install the rear camshaft in the reverse order of removal with a new O-ring (C). Apply new engine oil to the camshaft journals and lobes.
10. Remove all of the old liquid gasket from the rocker shaft holder and cylinder head.
11. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0002, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009, evenly to the camshaft holder mating surface of the cylinder head.

NOTE: Do not install the parts if 4 minutes (P/N 08718-0002) or 5 minutes (except P/N 08718-0004 have passed after applying liquid gasket. Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing the old residue.

12. Apply new engine oil to the threads of the camshaft pulley mounting bait, then install the rear camshaft pulley.
13. Install the rocker arm assembly, then tighten the mounting bolts.
14. Install the timing belt.
15. Adjust the valve clearance.
16. Connect the fuel feed hose, then install the quick-connect fitting cover.
17. Fill the radiator with engine coolant and bleed the air out.
18. Inspect for fuel leaks. Turn the ignition switch ON (II) (do not operate the starter) so the fuel pump runs for about 2 seconds and pressurizes the fuel line. Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
19. Do the crankshaft position (CKP) pattern clear/CKP pattern learn procedure.
