68 - 2 ENGINE COOLING
The cooling system is a pressurized Engine Coolant
(EC) forced circulation type which consists of water
pump, thermostat cooling fan, radiator and other
components. The automatic transmission fluid is
cooled by the EC in radiator.
WATER PUMP
Fig. 68-2
The
EC pump is a centrifugal impeller type and is
driven by timing belt. (Fig.68-2)
THERMOSTAT
Jiggle valve
Fig. 68-3
The
thermostat is a wax pellet type with a jiggle
valve and is installed in the thermostat housing.
(Fig.68-3)
RADIATOR
The radiator is a tube type with corrugated fins. In
order to raise the boiling point of coolant, the radiator
is fitted
with a cap in which the valve is operated at
88.2
-117.6 kPa (12.8 - 17.0 psi) pressure. (No oil
cooler
provided for M!f)

ANTI-FREEZE SOLUTION
•
•
Relation between Mixing ratio and Freezing
temperature
of the EC varies with the ratio of
anti-freeze solution in water. Proper mixing
ratio can be determined by referring to the
chart. Supplemental inhibitors or additives
claiming to increase cooling capability that have
not been specifically approved by lsuzu are not
recommended for addition to the cooling
system.

68 - 4 ENGINE COOLING
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
DRAINING AND REFILLING COOLING
SYSTEM
Before draining the cooling system, inspect the sys
tem and perform any necessary service to ensure that
it is clean, does not leak and is in proper working
order. The Engine Coolant (EC) level should be be
tween the "MIN" and "MAX" lines of reserve tank
when the engine is cold. If low, check for leakage and
add
EC up to the "MAX" line. There should not be any
excessive deposit of rust or scales around the radiator
cap
or radiator filler hole, and the EC should also be
free
from oil. Replace the EC if excessively dirty.
1. Completely drain the cooling system by opening
the drain petcock at the bottom of the radiator.
2. Remove the radiator cap.
W WARNING
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not
remove the cap while the engine and radiator
are still hot. Scalding fluid and steam can be
blown out under pressure.
3. Disconnect all hoses from the EC reserve tank.
Scrub and clean the inside of the reserve tank with
soap and water. Flush it well with clean water,
then drain it. Install the reserve tank and hoses.

4. Refill the cooling system with the EC using a
solution that is at least 50 percent antifreeze but no
more than 70 percent antifreeze.
5. Fill the radiator to the base of the filler neck.
Fill the EC reserve tank to "MAX" line when the
engine is cold.
6. Block the drive wheels and firmly apply the park
ing brake.
Shift an automatic transmission to "P"
(Park) or a manual transmission to neutral.
7. Remove the radiator cap. Start the engine and
warm it up at 2,500 -3,000 rpm for about 30
minutes.
8. When the air comes out from the radiator filler
neck and the EC level has gone down, replenish
with the EC. Repeat this procedure until the EC
level does not go down. Then stop the engine and
install the radiator cap. Let the engine cool down.
9. After the engine has cooled, replenish with EC up
to the "MAX" line of the reserve tank.
10. Start the engine. With the engine running at 3,000
rpm, make sure there is no running water sound
from the heater core (behind the center console).
11. If the running water sound is heard, repeat steps 7
to 10.
Removal steps
1. Timing
belt 2. Idle pulley 3. Water pump assembly
4. Gasket
Installation steps To install, follow the removal steps in the reverse order.
