On Board Diagnosis LogicNJEC0663This diagnosis continuously monitors the engine coolant temperature.
If the cooling fan or another component in the cooling system malfunctions, engine coolant temperature will
rise.
When the engine coolant temperature reaches an abnormally high temperature condition, a malfunction is
indicated.
This self-diagnosis has the one trip detection logic.
DTC Malfunction is detected when ... Check Items (Possible Cause)
P1217
0208Cooling fan does not operate properly (Overheat).
Cooling fan system does not operate properly
(Overheat).
Engine coolant was not added to the system using
the proper filling method.Harness or connectors
(The cooling fan circuit is open or shorted.)
Cooling fan
Radiator hose
Radiator
Radiator cap
Water pump
Thermostat
Engine coolant temperature sensor
For more information, refer to “MAIN 12 CAUSES OF
OVERHEATING”, EC-144.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant following the procedure in the LC-43,
“Changing Engine Coolant”. Also, replace the engine oil.
1) Fill radiator with coolant up to specified level with a filling speed of 2liters per minute. Be sure
to use coolant with the proper mixture ratio. Refer to MA-21, “Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio”.
2) After refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow noise is emitted.
