Hino Truck Super F Series GH1H Workshop Manual download

- Quick important note before starting
- Many Hino Super F series trucks use diesel engines (which use glow plugs or no high-voltage spark plug wires). If your GH1H has spark plug wires, the procedure below applies; if the engine is coil‑on‑plug or diesel, skip wire replacement and work on coils/glow plugs per your engine type.

- Safety first (do these before any hands‑on work)
- Work with the engine cold and keys removed; allow the engine to cool for at least 30–60 minutes.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent accidental arcing or ignition of the ignition system.
- Wear safety glasses and gloves; keep loose clothing, jewelry and long hair away from moving parts.
- Work in a well‑ventilated, well‑lit area and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.

- Tools you should have (detailed description of every tool and how to use it)
- Socket set with ratchet and extensions
- What it is: a set of sockets of various sizes that fit on a ratchet handle; extensions let you reach recessed spark plugs.
- How to use: choose the correct socket (see spark plug socket below), attach to the ratchet and extension, turn counterclockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten. Use smooth steady motion; avoid jerking.
- Spark plug socket (6‑point, 5/8" or 13/16" commonly) with rubber insert
- What it is: a deep socket sized for spark plugs with a rubber insert that grips the plug to prevent it falling out.
- How to use: select the socket size that matches your spark plug hex, attach to the extension, seat fully on the plug and turn with the ratchet. The rubber holds the plug when you pull it out.
- Torque wrench (click‑type)
- What it is: a wrench that measures and applies a specific tightening torque.
- Why required: spark plugs must be tightened to a specific torque to ensure a proper seal and avoid thread damage.
- How to use: set the wrench to the manufacturer’s torque spec, tighten the spark plug until the wrench clicks; do not overtighten after the click.
- Spark plug boot/wire puller (or long‑nose pliers with rubber jaw covers)
- What it is: a small tool that helps pull the boot off the spark plug without twisting the wire.
- Why required: prevents tearing the boot or pulling the conductor out of the wire.
- How to use: grab the boot, not the wire; twist slightly while pulling straight off. If using pliers, cover jaws with tape or rubber to avoid damaging the boot.
- Multimeter (digital, with ohm function)
- What it is: an electronic meter that measures resistance, voltage and continuity.
- Why required: to test the resistance of each spark plug wire to verify it’s within acceptable range or to confirm a bad wire.
- How to use: set to ohms (Ω), touch one probe to each end of the wire (metal terminal in the boot), read resistance. Compare to expected range; very high or infinite resistance indicates a bad wire.
- Dielectric grease
- What it is: non‑conductive silicone grease for electrical connectors.
- Why required: prevents moisture intrusion, improves electrical insulation and eases future removal.
- How to use: apply a thin film inside each boot (do not apply to the metal terminal itself).
- Wire separators/clips and cable ties
- What they are: plastic clips that keep wires spaced and secure.
- Why required: prevent cross‑fire and rubbing against hot or moving parts.
- How to use: route wires through separators at factory locations and secure with ties; don’t overtighten ties to pinch the wire.
- Marker and masking tape or numbered wire tags
- What it is: labeling supplies to mark each wire before removal.
- How to use: label both ends of each wire with the cylinder number so you don’t change firing order.
- Shop manual or wiring/engine firing diagram (print or digital)
- What it is: the truck’s service manual with cylinder numbering and firing order.
- Why required: confirms correct wire routing, cylinder numbers and torque specs.
- How to use: refer to the diagram when labeling and reinstalling wires.
- Small brush and rag / compressed air
- What it is: cleaning supplies to remove dirt around spark plug wells.
- How to use: clean around plugs before pulling wires to prevent debris falling into cylinders.
- Replacement spark plug wire set (and possibly new spark plugs, boots or coil boots)
- What it is: a matched set of wires sized to your engine with correct boot types and terminal ends.
- How to use: install one wire at a time to maintain firing order; ensure snug seating on plug and coil/distributor.

- Extra tools you may need and why
- Coil removal tools (if wires connect to coils that must be removed) — to access plug ends or replace coil boots.
- Distributor cap or coil pack replacement tools — if caps/coil packs are cracked or corroded they must be replaced; you’ll need appropriate sockets/screwdrivers.
- Resistance tester or dedicated ignition‑wire tester — for quick identification of arcing under load; multimeter usually suffices for a beginner.

- Preparatory steps (what to do before replacing wires)
- Locate and verify engine type and whether wires exist (diesel vs gasoline). If unsure, consult the manual or engine label.
- Obtain the correct replacement wire set for GH1H engine (match part number or length/boot style; buy a full set, not individual mismatched wires).
- Lay out labeled tape and marker; label each wire at both ends before removing any wire (e.g., “1”, “2”, “3” or cylinder numbers per manual).
- Clean around spark plug boots with a small brush and compressed air to keep debris out.

- Step‑by‑step procedure (follow these bullets; remove/install one wire at a time)
- Work on one cylinder/wire at a time so firing order and routing stay correct.
- Remove the boot from the distributor/coil end first (if accessible) or from the spark plug end—grip the boot, not the wire; twist gently and pull straight off using the boot puller or protected pliers.
- Use the spark plug socket, extension and ratchet to loosen and remove the spark plug if you plan to inspect or replace plugs; keep the socket vertical while extracting.
- Inspect the boot, terminal and wire for cracks, burns, melted insulation, oily contamination, or corrosion.
- Test each removed wire with the multimeter:
- Set meter to ohms (Ω).
- Probe the wire’s metal terminal inside each boot (or bare terminal if accessible) and read resistance.
- Typical guidance: resistance varies by wire type, but infinite or very high resistance indicates a bad wire; major deviation from the rest of the set suggests replacement. Consult the replacement wire spec for exact ohm values.
- If replacing, fit the new wire of the exact length to the same cylinder/position you removed:
- Apply a thin film of dielectric grease inside each boot.
- Push the plug end boot firmly onto the spark plug until it clicks or seats fully.
- Route the wire along the original path, secure in separators/clips, and attach the coil/distributor end until it seats.
- Reinstall or torque the spark plug:
- Hand‑start the plug into the threads to avoid cross‑threading, then tighten with the torque wrench to the manual’s spec. If no spec, a general passenger car/truck spark plug torque is around 18–30 lb·ft (25–40 N·m) depending on plug/type — better to find the exact spec in the manual.
- Repeat for each remaining wire, one at a time, until all are replaced.
- Double‑check routing so wires do not contact exhaust, intake manifold, or moving parts and are separated to prevent cross‑fire.

- Testing after installation
- Reconnect the battery negative terminal.
- Start the engine and listen for smooth idle; watch for misfires, roughness, or check engine light.
- If misfire persists on a cylinder, swap the wire with a known good cylinder to see if the problem follows the wire (confirms wire fault) or stays with the cylinder (possible plug, injector, compression issue).
- Recheck all boot seating and clips.

- When replacement is required and why (what to replace)
- Replace spark plug wires if:
- Insulation is cracked, brittle, melted or shows exposed conductor.
- Boots are cracked, deformed or not sealing.
- Resistance measured by multimeter is extremely high or infinite.
- Visible arcing (white lines, burns) or you hear arcing while engine runs.
- Repeated misfires that follow the wire when swapped.
- Additional parts that might need replacement:
- Spark plugs — worn electrodes, fouling, improper gap cause misfires and load the wire; replace if worn or if you remove them and they look bad.
- Distributor cap/rotor (if present) — cracked, carbon tracks, corrosion can cause arcing.
- Coil packs/coil boots — if wires connect to coil boots that are damaged, replace coil boot or entire coil pack.
- Wire separators/clips — broken clips allow chafing and wrong routing.
- Complete wire set — always best to replace the full set to keep resistance and performance consistent.

- Parts to buy (recommended)
- Complete OEM or high‑quality aftermarket spark plug wire set matched to GH1H engine
- New spark plugs if worn (match OEM part number and gap specification)
- Dielectric grease
- New wire separators/clips or cable ties
- Replacement distributor cap/rotor or coil pack only if inspection shows damage

- Disposal and finish
- Dispose of old wires and used rags per local regulations; used electrical parts are not hazardous household waste but recycle where possible.
- Keep receipts and part numbers in case you need warranty replacement.

- Final troubleshooting tips (brief)
- If problem persists after new wires and plugs, check ignition coils, fuel/air systems and compression; persistent single‑cylinder misfire often means plug/coil/wire; multi‑cylinder problems may be other systems.
- Refer to the GH1H workshop manual or manufacturer dealer for engine‑specific specs and diagrams.

- Last reminder
- Always follow the GH1H service manual for exact wire lengths, boot types, firing order and torque specs when available.
