  1. Remove all necessary components for access to the timing belt covers.

    CAUTION
    If equipped with an air bag, be sure to disconnect the negative battery cable and wait at least 90 seconds before proceeding.

  2. Remove the No. 2 timing cover.
  3. Position the No. 1 cylinder to Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke by turning the crankshaft pulley and aligning its groove with the timing mark 0 of the No. 1 timing belt cover. Check that the hole of the camshaft timing pulley is aligned with the alignment mark of the bearing cap. If not, turn the crankshaft one revolution (360 degrees).
  4. Remove the timing belt from the camshaft timing pulley, as follows:
    1. If reusing the belt, place matchmarks on the timing belt and the camshaft pulley. Loosen the mount bolt of the No. 1 idler pulley and position the pulley toward the left as far as it will go. Tighten the bolt. Remove the belt from the camshaft pulley.
  5. Remove the camshaft timing pulley as follows:
    1. Using Toyota tools Nos. 09249-63010 and 09960-10010, remove the bolt and the camshaft pulley.
  6. Remove the crankshaft pulley as follows:
    1. Use Toyota tools Nos. 09213-54015 and 09330-00021 to hold the crankshaft pulley. Remove the pulley set bolt and remove the pulley using a puller.
  7. Remove the No. 1 timing belt cover.
  8. Remove the timing belt and the belt guide. If reusing the belt mark the belt and the crankshaft pulley in the direction of engine rotation and matchmark for correct installation.

    Using a spanner wrench, turn the camshaft into position so that the alignment mark is visible through the hole in the sprocket — Toyota 2.2L (5S-FE) engine

    To install:

  9. Install the crankshaft timing pulley, as follows:
    1. Align the timing pulley set key with the key groove of the pulley.
    2. Slide on the timing pulley with the flange side facing inward.
  10. Install the No. 2 idler pulley and tighten the bolt to 31 ft. lbs. (42 Nm). Be sure that the pulley moves freely.
  11. Temporarily install the No. 1 idler pulley and tension spring. Pry the pulley toward the left as far as it will go. Tighten the bolt. Be sure that the pulley rotates freely.
  12. Temporarily install the timing belt, as follows:

    Sprocket alignment for timing belt replacement — Toyota 2.2L (5S-FE) engine

    1. Using the crankshaft pulley bolt, turn the crankshaft and align the timing marks of the crankshaft timing pulley and the oil pump body.
    2. If reusing the old belt, align the marks made during removal, and install the belt with the arrow pointing in the direction of the engine revolution.
  13. Install the timing belt guide with the cup side facing outward.
  14. Install the No. 1 timing belt cover.
  15. Install the crankshaft pulley. Align the pulley set key with the key groove of the pulley and slide on the pulley. Tighten the bolt to 80 ft. lbs. (108 Nm).
  16. Install the camshaft timing pulley as follows:
    1. Align the camshaft knock pin with the knock pin groove of the pulley and slide on the timing pulley. Tighten the bolt to 40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm).
  17. With the No. 1 cylinder set at TDC on the compression stroke, install the timing belt (all timing marks aligned). If reusing the belt, align with the marks made during the removal procedure:
    1. Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the timing mark 0 of the No. 1 timing belt cover. Be sure the camshaft sprocket hole is aligned with the mark on the bearing cap.
  18. Connect the timing belt to the camshaft timing pulley.
  19. Check that the matchmark on the timing belt matches the end of the No. 1 timing belt cover.
  20. Once the belt is installed, be sure that there is tension between the crankshaft timing pulley and the camshaft pulley.
  21. Check the valve timing as follows:
    1. Loosen the No. 1 idler pulley mount bolt 1⁄2 turn. Turn the crankshaft pulley two revolutions from TDC in the clockwise direction. Always turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise.
    2. Be sure that the all the timing marks are aligned.
    3. Slowly turn the crankshaft pulley 1 7⁄8 revolutions. Align its groove with the mark at 45°Before Top Dead Center (BTDC) on the No. 1 timing belt cover for the No. 1 cylinder.
    4. Tighten the No. 1 idler pulley mount bolt to 31 ft. lbs. (42 Nm).
  22. Install the No. 2 timing belt cover as follows:
    1. Install the upper gasket to the No. 1 timing belt cover.
    2. Disconnect the engine wire protector between the cylinder head cover and the No. 3 timing belt cover.
    3. Install the gasket to the timing belt cover.
    4. Install the belt covers and all remaining components. During assembly, tighten the right engine mount bracket bolts to 38 ft. lbs. (52 Nm), the engine mount insulator bolt to 47 ft. lbs. (64 Nm), the through-bolt to 54 ft. lbs. (78 Nm), the power steering reservoir bracket bolt to 21 ft. lbs. (28 Nm), the power steering reservoir-to-bracket bolt to 27 ft. lbs. (37 Nm) and the nut to 38 ft. lbs. (52 Nm).
