OUTttNE OF CONSTRUCTION
The cooling system in the 323 4WD model is basically the same as in the 323 2WD model.
Although there is no fundamental change from the BP DOHC of the 2WD model, the coolant circulation
path has been changed to direct coolant to the water-cooied turbocharger.
A two-stage thermostat is used in the BP DUHC turbocharged engine to stabilize the engine coolant tem-
peratu re.
The radiator and cooling fan specifications are different. The BP DOHC turbocharged engine of the 4WD
model uses a two-speed electric cooling fan.

TWO-STAGE THERMOSTAT
A sub-valve is incorporated in the thermostat to stabilize the coolant temperature in the engine, to improve
cold weather performance, and to reduce heater output temperature fluctuations as noted in the diagram.
Operation
Stage 1
During cold weather operation, 83.5*C [182°F]-86.50C [t 88OF] only the sub-valve opens to control the
engine coolant temperature.
Stage 2
During normal operation, 86.5OC (1 88°F)-89.50C (I 93OF) the main valve opens to permit increased coul-
an: flow through the radiator.

Operation 1. When the coolant temperature exceeds 97OC (207*F), the water thermoswitch turns ON to close the No.7
relay, and connects the + I and -1 terminals of the fan motor
connector. The fan motor turns at low
speed (about 1,660 rpm).
2. When the coolant temperature exceeds 105OC (221 OF), the radiator thermoswitch turns ON, to close the
No.2 and No.3 relays, and connects
the +2 and -2 terminals of the fan motor connector. The fan mo-
tor turns at high speed (about 2,200 rpm).
3. if the vehicle is equipped with air conditioning, the cooling fan motor operates whenever the
NC switch
and the blower switch are on, regardless of
the coolant temperature. Also, when the A/C switch and the blower switch are on, the A/C retay closes
to operate the additional fan
motur.
Note
l The water thermoswitch and the cooling fan reIay are normally-open switches.
Checking cooling fan operation 1. Jump across the TFA and the GND terminals
of the diagnosis connector with a jumper wire.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and verify that the cooling fan operates smoothly.
Note
l When the water thermoswitch connector is disconnected, the cooling fan wiif not operate.
