I follow instructions for a 2003 which I have and car runs rough and engine code states bad head gaskets random misfires.
I have never seen a code specifically identifying a blown head gasket. I checked the service manual and the procedure is the same.
4. Tighten cylinder head bolts (1) to (10) in numerical order as shown in 5 steps. Cylinder head bolts Step 1: 29.4 Nm (3.0 kg-m, 22 ft. lbs.) Step 2: 58,8 Nm (6.0 kg-m, 43 ft. lbs.) Step 3: 0 Nm (0 kg-m, 0 ft. lbs.) (loosen) Step 4: 27.4 - 31.4 Nm (2.8 - 3.2 kg-m, 21 - 23 ft. lbs.) Step 5: 50° - 55° (target: 50°) clockwise
To confirm it is a head gasket, do a compression and/or leak down test. Wouldn't hurt to pressure test your cooling system as well.
