Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If you follow them carefully, you 
will be sure to find most of the engine cooling faults. 
1. Gather information from the customer.  
2. Verify that the condition described by the customer exists.  
3. Find and repair the malfunction by following the SYMPTOM CHART.  
4. Verify that the malfunction is eliminated.  SYMPTOM CHART SYMPTOM INSPECTION PROCEDURE CHART SYMPTOM PROCEDURES INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1: Coolant Leak DIAGNOSIS

Q: Is leakage present from the radiator hose or connections?  
YES: Repair or replace the appropriate part, then go to Step 2.  
NO: There is no action to be taken.  
STEP 2. Retest the system. 
Q: It there still coolant leakage?  
YES: Return to Step 1 .  
NO: The procedure is complete.

link). If a terminal is not sufficiently tight or if the harness has become 
discolored due to overheating, repair and then test again.  
12. After the test, run the engine at idle.  
13. Turn off all lights and turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position.  
14. Disconnect the negative battery cable.  
15. Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.  
16. Connect the negative battery cable.  
17. Run engine for 10 minutes at an idle.  
OUTPUT CURRENT TEST Required special tool: MB991958: Scan Tool MUT-III Sub Assembly, MB991824: 
V.C.I., MB991827 MUT-III USB Cable, MB5991910: MUT-III Main Harness A. 
This test determines whether the generator outputs normal current. For best results, 
use a char

2. Heat the piston to approximately 70°C (158°F). 
NOTE: The piston size mark shows on the top of the piston.
CAUTION: Appl
y ample coat of en
gine oil to the peripher
y of 
the piston pin and the hole of the connecting rod 
small end. The clearance between the piston and 
the piston pin is a tight fit at room temperature. 
Therefore, be sure to heat the piston before 
inserting the piston pin. Use care since the 
piston is hot after heating.
