INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If there is an open or short in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit, the ECM outputs DTCs. Perform
troubleshooting with the "SFI System 10-2".
1.PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY HAND-HELD TESTER
a. Operate the hand-held tester according to the steps on the display and select the "ACTIVE TEST".
METER:
ACTIVE TEST REFERENCE

OK:
Needle indication is normal.
NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSY (SEE OVERHAUL
)
OK: GO TO NEXT STEP
2.READ VALUE OF HAND-HELD TESTER (ENGINE COOLANT)
a. Operate the hand-held tester according to the steps on the display and select the "DATA LIST".
ENGINE:
DATA LIST REFERENCE
OK:
Coolant temperature displayed on the tester is between 80°C (176°F) and 95°C (203°F) after
warning up.

psi), and check that the pressure does not drop.
If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator and water pump for leaks. If no external leaks are found,
check the heater core, cylinder block and head.
2.CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR
a. Check that the engine coolant level is between the LOW and FULL lines when the engine is cold.
If the engine coolant is low, check for leaks and add "TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant" to the
FULL line.
If "TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant" is not available, use a similar high quality ethylene glycol
based non-silicate, non-amino, non-nitrite and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid
technology. Do not substitute plain water for engine coolant.
3.CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
a. Remove the radiator cap.
b. Check if there are any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap and radiator filler
hole, Also, the coolant should be free from oil.
HINT:
If excessively dirty, clean the coolant passage and replace the coolant.
c. Reinstall the radiator cap.
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT THERMOSTAT
HINT:
The thermostat is stamped with the valve openin
g temperature.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1.CHECK COOLING FAN SYSTEM
a. Look at the chart below. Check that when the cooling fan is in the condition on the left, its
operation is what is written on the right.
Standard when engine coolant temperature is below 82°C (180°F):
CONDITION AND OPERATION SPECIFICATION
If the fan does not operate as specified, proceed to next step.
2.INSPECT COOLING FAN MOTOR
a. Remove the air cleaner inlet No. 1.
b. Disconnect the 2 connectors.
c. Connect the battery and ammeter.
d. Check that the fan rotates smoothly, and then check the amperage on the ammeter.
Standard: 9.2 to 11.0 A at 20° C (68° F)
If the result is not as specified, replace the fan motor.
If the fan operates, proceed to the next step.
ConditionOperation (Fan Speed)
Ignition ON at engine stoppingNot rotating
A/C switch OFF at idle speedNot rotating
A/C switch ON at idle speedRotating (Low speed)
Disconnect ECT sensor connector at idle speedRotating (High speed)

c. Close the radiator drain plug.
d. Tighten the 2 drain cock plugs.
Torque: 13 Nm (130 kgf cm, 9 ft lbf)

4.ADD ENGINE COOLANT
a. Slowly fill the cooling system with coolant.
Capacity: 9.5 liters (10.0 US qts, 8.4 lmp. qts)
HINT:
Use of improper coolants may damage the engine cooling system.
Use "TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant" or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-
silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid
technology.
New Toyota vehicles are filled with TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant (color is pink,
premixed ethylene-glycol concentration is approximately 50 % and freezing temperature is -
35° C (-31° F)). When replacing coolant, TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant is
