REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1. Remove under cover.
2. Drain engine coolant. Refer to MA section, ªChanging EngineCoolantº.
3. Remove air cleaner case, air duct and resonator.
4. Remove battery (right side).
5. Remove radiator shroud (lower).
6. Remove radiator shroud (front).
7. Disconnect radiator hose (upper and lower).
8. Disconnect reservoir tank hose.
9. Disconnect A/T oil cooler hose (Only A/T models).
10. Remove radiator.
11. After repairing or replacing radiator, install all removed parts in reverse order of removal.
Cooling Fan (Crankshaft driven)
DISASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
IDo not release the drive belt tension by removing the fan/water
pump pulley.
I Fan coupling cannot be disassembled and should be replaced
as a unit. If front mark q
Fis present, install fan so that side
marked q
Ffaces the front.
I Proper alignment of these components is essential. Improper
alignment will cause them to wobble and may eventually cause
the fan to separate from the water pump causing extensive
damage.

Overall Function Check
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling fan.
During this check, a DTC might not be confirmed.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from
the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around the 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.
WITH CONSULT-II
1) Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank and radiator.Allow engine to cool before checking coolant level.
If the coolant level in the reservoir tank and/or radiator is below
the proper range, skip the following steps and go to ªDiagnos-
tic Procedureº, EC-114.
2) Confirm whether customer filled the coolant or not. If customer filled the coolant, skip the following steps and go to ªDiagnos-
tic Procedureº, EC-114.
3) Turn ignition switch ªONº.
4) Perform ªCOOLING FANº in ªACTIVE TESTº mode with CON- SULT-II and make sure that cooling fans operate when touch-
ing ªHIGHº or ªLOWº.
If NG, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-114.

2) Confirm whether customer filled the coolant or not. If customer filled the coolant, skip the following steps and go to ªDiagnos-
tic Procedureº, EC-114.
3) Disconnect engine coolant temperature sensor harness con- nector.
4) Connect 150W resistor to engine coolant temperature sensor
harness connector.
5) Start engine and make sure that cooling fan operates. Be careful not to overheat engine.
6) If NG, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-114.
