Diagnostic Procedure (Cont'd)
EC-423

qc
CHECK COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAK.
Apply pressure to the cooling system with
a tester, and check if the pressure drops.
Testing pressure:
157 kPa (1.6 kg/cm
2, 23 psi)
Pressure should not drop.
CAUTION:
Higher than the specified pressure may
cause radiator damage.
OK
ENG
Check the following for
leak.
IHose
IRadiator
IWater pump
Refer to LC section (ªWater
Pumpº).
CHECK RADIATOR CAP.
Apply pressure to cap with a tester.
Radiator cap relief pressure:
78 - 98 kPa (0.8 - 1.0 kg/cm
2,11-14
psi)
OK
ENG
Replace radiator cap.
CHECK THERMOSTAT.
1. Check valve seating condition at normal
room temperatures.
It should seat tightly.
2. Check valve opening temperature and
valve lift.
Valve opening temperature:
76.5ÉC (170ÉF) [standard]
Valve lift:
More than 10 mm/90ÉC
(0.39 in/194ÉF)
3. Check if valve is closed at 5ÉC (9ÉF)
below valve opening temperature.
For details, refer to LC section (ªThermo-
statº).
OK
ENG
Replace thermostat
Check engine coolant temperature sensor.
Refer to ªCOMPONENT INSPECTIONº,
EC-426.
OK
ENG
Replace engine coolant
temperature sensor.
If the cause can not be isolated, go to

Component Inspection
COOLING FAN RELAY AND A/C RELAY
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect cooling fan relay and A/C relay.
3. Check continuity between each relay terminalq
3andq5under
the following conditions.
Apply 12V direct current between
relay terminalsq
1andq2.Continuity should exist.
No voltage applied. Continuity should not exist.
4. If NG, replace cooling fan relay or/and A/C relay(s).

DTC P1217 OVER HEATTD27Ti
EC-426

Component Description
NEEDLE LIFT SENSOR (NLS)
The needle lift sensor is built into the No. 1 nozzle. Its inductive
pickup element senses fuel injection timing. It is sent as a pulse
signal to the ECM for feed-back the actual fuel injection timing and
calculating the secondary engine speed.
On Board Diagnosis Logic

DTC Confirmation Procedure
NOTE:
Before DTC confirmation, be sure to check battery voltage is
above 9V.
WITH CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch to ªONº position and select ªDATA MONI-
TORº mode with CONSULT-II.
2) Start engine.
3) Run it for 2 seconds at above 1,200 rpm.
WITHOUT CONSULT-II
1) Start engine.
2) Run it for 2 seconds at above 1,200 rpm.
3) Turn ignition switch to ªLOCKº position, wait at least 5 seconds
and then turn to ªONº position.
4) Perform ªDiagnostic Test Mode IIº (Self-diagnostic results).
