HLA Troubleshooting


Item	Occurrence	Possible cause	Action
1	After replacing oil, sound occurs when starting engine	Oil shortage in oil passage	Maintain the engine speed between 2,000 to 3,000 rpm for approx. 2 s and 10 min*, and verify that the sound disappears. If the sound disappears, the HLA is normal. If the sound does not disappear, go to item 5.
2	Sound occurs at instant when engine is started on vehicle left for 1 day	Oil shortage in oil passage
3	Starter cranked for 3 s or more and sound occurs directly after engine is started	HLA oil shortage
4	Sound occurs directly after engine is started with newly replaced HLA	HLA oil shortage
5	Sound occurs continuously for 10 min or more	Insufficient oil pressure	Inspect the oil pressure.. If less than the specification, inspect each part of the engine.
5	Sound occurs continuously for 10 min or more	HLA malfunction	Inspect the HLA..
6	Sound occurs during idling after high-speed driving	Incorrect engine oil level	Inspect the engine oil level..
