4. Make sure that the rim is completely crimped down.
5. Make sure that there is no leakage.
Refer to CO-17, "
INSPECTION" .
INSPECTION
1. Apply pressure with radiator cap tester adapter (special service
tool) and radiator cap tester (commercial service tool).
WARNING:
To prevent the risk of hose coming undone while under
pressure, securely fasten it down with hose clamp.
CAUTION:
Attach hose to A/T fluid cooler to seal its inlet and outlet.
(A/T models)
2. Check for leakage by soaking radiator in water container with
the testing pressure applied.Standard height “H” : 8.0 - 8.4 mm (0.315 - 0.331 in)

COOLING FAN

COOLING FANPFP:21140
Removal and InstallationEBS011TD
REMOVAL
1. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-9, "Changing Engine Coolant" .
CAUTION:

Perform this step when engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
2. Remove air duct (inlet) and air duct assembly. Refer to EM-15, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
3. Disconnect radiator hose (upper) at radiator side. Refer to CO-12, "
RADIATOR" .
CAUTION:
Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
4. Disconnect harness connectors from fan motors, and move them to aside.
5. Remove radiator cooling fan assembly.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage or scratch on radiator core.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.

Cooling fans are controlled by ECM. For details, refer to EC-348, "DTC P1217 ENGINE OVER TEMPER-
ATURE" (WITH EURO-OBD) or EC-700, "DTC P1217 ENGINE OVER TEMPERATURE" (WITHOUT
EURO-OBD).
DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY
Disassembly
1. Remove cooling fans (RH and LH) from fan motors.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Visually check if there is no significant dirt or rusting on water
pump body and vane.

Make sure that there is no looseness in vane shaft, and that it
turns smoothly when rotated by hand.

Replace water pump, if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

When inserting water pipe end into cylinder block, apply a neutral detergent to O-ring. Then insert it imme-
diately.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for engine coolant leaks using a radiator cap tester adapter (special service tool: EG17650301)
and radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-9, "
LEAK CHECK" .

Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
2. Disconnect radiator hose (lower) at water inlet side. Refer to CO-12, "
RADIATOR" .
3. Remove water inlet and thermostat.
4. Remove water control valve with the following procedure:
a. Disconnect radiator hose (upper) at water control valve housing (water outlet) side.
b. Disconnect harness connector from engine coolant temperature sensor.
c. Remove heater pipe and heater hose.
d. Remove water control valve housing (water outlet) and water control valve.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Place a string so that it is caught in the valves of thermostat and
water control valve. Immerse fully in a container filled with water.
Heat while stirring. (The example in the figure shows thermo-
stat.)

The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and falls from the thread.

Continue heating. Check the full open valve lift amount.
NOTE:
The full open valve lift amount standard temperature for water
control valve is the reference value.

After checking the full open valve lift amount, lower the water
temperature and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard:

If out of the standard, replace either or both thermostat and water control valve.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Thermostat and Water Control Valve

Install thermostat with making rubber ring groove fit to thermo-
stat flange with the whole circumference. (The example in the
figure shows thermostat.)
NOTE:
Same procedure is applied for installation of water control valve.

Install thermostat with jiggle valve facing upwards. (The position
deviation may be within the range of 20 degrees as shown in the
figure.)

Install water control valve with the arrow facing up and the frame
center part facing upwards. (The position deviation may be
within the range of 20 degrees as shown in the figure.)
Heater Pipe Installation
Apply a neutral detergent to O-ring, then quickly insert the insertion part of heater pipe into cylinder block.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of engine coolant using a radiator cap tester adapter (special service tool: EG17650301)
and a radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-9, "
LEAK CHECK" .

Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant and A/T fluid (A/T models).
