Warning

• A hot engine can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool before servicing.

Caution

• Applying excessive force (force of 100 N {10.2 kgf, 22.5 lbf} or more) to the electric variable valve timing motor/driver may cause a malfunction. When servicing, be careful not to apply excessive force to the electric variable valve timing motor/driver using other parts or tools.

• Do not disassemble the electric variable valve timing motor/driver because it is a precision unit.

1.Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [(US)].)

2.Remove the plug hole plate. (See PLUG HOLE PLATE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].)

3.Remove the No.3 engine mount. (See ENGINE MOUNT DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY [SKYACTIV-G (WITHOUT CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].)

4.Remove in the order indicated in the table.

5.Install in the reverse order of removal.
