On Board Diagnosis Logic
This diagnosis continuously monitors the engine coolant temperature.
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.

CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant following the procedure in the LC
section, ªChanging Engine Coolantº. Also, replace the 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 section, ªEngine Coolant Mixture Ratioº.
2) After refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow noise is emitted.

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-444.
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-444.

Component Description
NEEDLE LIFT SENSOR (NLS)
The needle lift sensor is built into the No. 1 nozzle. Its inductive
pickup element senses fuel injection timing. It is sent as a pulse
signal to the ECM for feed-back the actual fuel injection timing and
calculating the secondary engine speed.

EAir conditioner ªONº signal
The ECM receives signals sent from the engine coolant tempera-
ture sensor, crankshaft position sensor (TDC), ignition switch etc.
to determine engine speed and operating conditions. Based on
these signals, the ECM controls EGRC-solenoid valve (A and B)
operation and throttle solenoid valve operation.
The EGR control stops when engine coolant temperature is below
45ÉC (113ÉF), at idling, at starting and when the system compo-
nents and engine speed signals are disordered.

Component Description
The EGRC-solenoid valves A and B, control vacuum pressure act-
ing on the EGR valve. The EGR control valve will be fully opened,
half-opened or fully closed, as required.
The throttle control solenoid valve controls vacuum pressure acting
on the throttle control valve. Thus, intake air passages are opened
or closed in relation to exhaust gas and intake air. Utilizing the
relationship between exhaust gas pressure and intake air pressure
control, the amount of EGR (exhaust gas recirculated) is regulated
in three approximate measures Ð large, medium, small.
