DIAGNOSIS
THERMOSTAT TEST
1. Remove the thermostat from the vehicle. Refer to
”Thermostat” in this section.
2. Make sure the valve spring is tight when the ther-
mostat is fully closed. If the spring is not tight, re-
place the thermostat.
3. Suspend the thermostat and a thermometer in a
pan of 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol and water.
Do not let the thermostat or the thermometer rest
on the bottom of the pan because the uneven con-
centration of heat on the bottom could result in in-
accurate temperature measurements.
4. Heat the pan on a burner.
5. Use the thermometer to measure the temperature
of the heated solution.
6. The thermostat should begin to open at 87°C
(189°F) and it should be fully open at 102°C
(216°F). If it does not open at these temperatures,
replace the thermostat.
SURGE TANK CAP TEST
Tools Required
KM–471 Adapter
The surge tank cap maintains proper pressure, protects
the system from high pressure by opening a pressure
valve, and protects the coolant hoses from collapsing be-
cause of a vacuum.1. Wash any sludge from the surge tank cap and the
valve seat of the vacuum pressure valve for the
surge tank cap.
2. Check for any damage or deformity to the vacuum
pressure valve for the surge tank cap. If any dam-
age or deformity is found, replace the cap.
3. Install a suitable cooling system pressure tester to
the cap using the adapter KM–471.
4. Pull the vacuum pressure valve open. If the surge
tank cap does not seal properly, replace the surge
tank cap.
5. Pressurize the cap to 90 to 120 kPa (13.1 to 17.4
psi).
6. Wait 10 seconds and check the pressure held by
the tank cap tester.
7. If the pressure held by the cooling system pressure
tester falls below 80 kPa (11.6 psi), replace the
surge tank cap.

Check for a weak coolant solution.Confirm that the coolant solution is a 50/50 mixture of eth-
ylene glycol and water.
Check the front of the radiator for any dirt, any leaves, or
any insects.Clean the front of the radiator.
Check for leakage from the hoses, the coolant pump, the
heater, the thermostat housing, the radiator, the core
plugs, or the head gasket.Replace any damaged components.
Check for a faulty thermostat.Replace a damaged thermostat.
Check for retarded ignition timing.Perform an ECM code diagnosis. Confirm the integrity of
the timing belt.
Check for an improperly operating electric cooling fan.Replace the electric cooling fan.
Check for radiator hoses that are plugged or rotted.Replace any damaged radiator hoses.
Check for a faulty water pump.Replace a faulty water pump.
Check for a faulty surge tank cap.Replace a faulty surge tank cap.
Check for a cylinder head or an engine block that is
cracked or plugged.Repair the damaged cylinder head or the damaged engine
block.
Loss of Coolant
ChecksAction
Check for a leak in the radiator.Replace a damaged radiator.
Check for a leak in the following locations:
S Surge tank.
S Hose.Replace the following parts, as needed:
S Surge tank.
S Hose.
Check for loose or damaged radiator hoses, heater hoses,
and connections.Reseat the hoses.
Replace the hoses or the clamps.
Check for leaks in the coolant pump seal.Replace the coolant pump seal.
Check for leaks in the coolant pump gasket.Replace the coolant pump gasket.
Check for an improper cylinder head torque.Tighten the cylinder head bolts to specifications.
Replace the cylinder head gasket, if needed.
Check for leaks in the following locations:
S Intake manifold.
S Cylinder head gasket.
S Cylinder block plug.
S Heater core.
S Radiator drain plug.Repair or replace any components, as needed, to correct
the leak.
Engine Fails to Reach Normal Operating Temperature or Cool Air
from the Heater
ChecksAction
Check to determine if the thermostat is stuck open or is the
wrong type of thermostat.Install a new thermostat of the correct type and heat range.
Check the coolant level to determine if it is below the MIN
mark on the surge tank.Add sufficient coolant to raise the fluid to the specified
mark on the surge tank.
