8. Pour engine coolant up to filler neck of radiator, and up to
MAX mark of reserve tank.

FAN CLUTCH WITH COOLING FAN
INSPECTION AND REPAIR
Make necessary correction or parts replacement if wear, damage or any other abnormal condition are found through
inspection.
033R300001
Visually inspect for damage, leak (sillicon grease) or other
abnormal conditions.
1. Inspection (on-vehicle)
1) Turn the fan clutch by hand when in a low temperature
condition before starting the engine, and confirm that it
can be turned readily.
2) Start the engine to warm it up until the temperature at
the fan clutch portion gets to around 80C. Then stop
the engine and confirm that the fan clutch can be
turned with considerable effort (clutch torque) when
turned by hand.
If the fan clutch rotates more readily, however, this
indicates that the silicone grease is leaking internally.
Replace the fan clutch with a new one.
033RY00011
2. Inspection (in unit)
Warm up the bimetal of the fan clutch by using the heat
gun until the temperature gets to about 80C when
measured with the thermistor. Then confirm that the fan
clutch can be turned with considerable effort (clutch
torque).
If the fan clutch retates more readily at this time, this
indicates that the silicone grease is leaking internally.
Replace the fan clutch with a new one.

6E–402 4JA1/4JH1 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
POOR FUEL ECONOMY SYMPTOM
DEFINITIONS: Fuel economy, as measured by an actual road test, is noticeably lower than expected. Also, economy
is noticeably lower than it was on this vehicle at one time, as previously shown by an actual road test. (Larger than
standard tires will cause odometer readings to be incorrect, and that may cause fuel economy to appear poor when it
is actually normal.)
Step Action Value(s) Yes No
1Was the “On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check”
performed?
—Go to Step 2Go to On Board
Diagnostic
(OBD) System
Check
2 1. Perform a bulletin search.
2. If a bulletin that addresses the symptom is found,
correct the condition as instructed in the bulletin.
Was a bulletin found that addresses the symptom?—Verify repair Go to Step 3
3 Was a visually/physical check performed?
—Go to Step 4Go to Visual /
physical Check
4 Check owner's driving habits.
Is the A/C “On” full time?
Are tires at the correct pressure?
Are ex cessively heavy loads being carried?
Is acceleration too much, too often?—Go to Step 5Go to Step 6
5 Review the items in Step 4 with the customer and
advise as necessary.
Is the action complete?—System OK—
6 Check for low engine coolant level.
Was a problem found? —Verify repair Go to Step 7
7 Check for incorrect or faulty engine thermostat. Refer
to Engine Cooling.
Was a problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 8
8 Check for proper calibration of the speedometer.
Does the speed indicated on the speed meter closely
match the vehicle speed displayed on the Tech 2?—Go to Step 10Go to Step 9
9 Diagnose and repair the inaccurate speedometer
condition as necessary. Refer to Vehicle Speed
Sensor in Electrical Diagnosis.—Veri fy repai r—
10 Check for proper calibration of the fuel gauge.
Was a problem found? —Verify repair Go to Step 11
11 Check the torque converter clutch (TCC) for proper
operation (if A/T model). If a problem is found, repair
as necessary.
Was a problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 12
12 1. Using the Tech 2, ignition “On” and engine “Off”.
2. Monitor the “Neutral Switch” in the data display.
Does the Tech 2 indicate correct “Neutral Switch”
status depending on any shift positions?
If a problem is found, repair as necessary.
Was the problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 13
