On Board Diagnosis LogicEBS0111H
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.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant. Refer to CO-9, "
Changing Engine
Coolant" . Also, replace the engine oil. Refer to LU-8, "Changing Engine Oil" .
1. Fill radiator with coolant up to specified level with a filling speed of 2 liters per minute. Be sure to
use coolant with the proper mixture ratio. Refer to MA-19, "
Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio" .
2. After refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow noise is emitted.
Overall Function CheckEBS0111I
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling fan. During this check, a DTC might not be con-
firmed.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high pres-
sure fluid escaping from the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around cap. Carefully remove the cap by turning it a quarter turn to allow built-up
pressure to escape. Then turn the cap all the way off.

a. Using a screwdriver, separate the snap fit portion of bracket in
numerical order as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
Put cloth or similar one on the edge of screwdriver not to
damage the inserted portion.
b. Pull out fuel pump, and disconnect harness connector.
2. Separate fuel filter and fuel level sensor unit as follows:
a. Fit a used O-ring into space between fuel level sensor unit and
fuel filter to release tabs.
NOTE:
For reference when reassembling, put a mating mark on outer
edges of fuel level sensor unit and fuel filter with some means
which cannot be erased by fuel.
b. Insert screwdriver to the gap between fuel filter and fuel level
sensor unit to separate them.
CAUTION:
Put cloth or similar one on the edge of screwdriver not to
damage the inserted portion.
3. Remove pressure regulator from fuel filter as follows:
a. Open and remove the clip.
b. Pull pressure regulator straight out during removal.
CAUTION:

Avoid impacts such as falling during removal.

Do not disassemble or adjust.
ASSEMBLY
Note the following, and assemble in the reverse order of disassembly.

Install fuel filter and fuel pump with the tabs aligned. Make sure a click sound of secure engagement is
heard.

Securely connect harness connector of fuel pump.

Install pressure regulator O-ring.
CAUTION:

When replacing, always use new O-ring.

Handle it with bare hands. (Do not use gloves.)

Visually check the O-ring, mounting parts and mating parts for foreign materials and flaws.

Before installing, apply new engine oil.

To avid damage, do not apply an excessive force (pulling or starching).

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
CautionECS008BM

Do not reuse transaxle oil, once it has been drained.

Check oil level or replace oil with vehicle on level ground.

During removal or installation, keep inside of transaxle clear of dust or dirt.

Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If mating marks are required, be
certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts they are applied to.

In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If
tightening sequence is specified, observe it.

Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.

MT-19, "
CASE AND HOUSING COMPONENTS" , MT-24, "CASE AND HOUSING COMPONENTS" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
Checking M/T OilECS008BS
OIL LEAKAGE AND OIL LEVEL

Check that oil is not leaking from transaxle or around it.

Check oil level from filler plug mounting hole as shown in the fig-
ure.
CAUTION:
Never start engine while checking oil level.

Set a new gasket on filler plug and install it on transaxle. Refer
to MT-19, "
CASE AND HOUSING COMPONENTS" , MT-24,
