Diagnostic Procedure
1 OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK-I
1. Turn ignition switch ªONº.
2. Check oil pressure warning lamp in combination meter illumination.Oil pressure warning lamp should illuminate after turning ignition switch ªONº immediately.
OK or NG
OK EGO TO 2.
NG EGO TO 8.
2 CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Turn ignition switch ªOFFº.
2. Check engine oil level.
SMA885BEngine oil level: Between L and H
OK or NG
OK EGO TO 4.
NG EGO TO 3.
3 DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
ICheck area around drain plug and oil filter for oil leakage.
I Check area around cylinder block oil gallery.
EIf NG, repair or replace. Refer to EM and LC sections.
4 OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK-II
1. Turn ignition switch ªONº and wait at least 3 seconds.
2. Start engine and let it idle.
3. Check oil pressure warning lamp illumination.
Oil pressure warning lamp should go off.
OK or NG
OK EGO TO 5.
NG EGO TO 14.
5 OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK-III
1. Warm up engine to the normal operating temperature.
2. Keep engine speed between 3,600 to 4,200 rpm at least 30 seconds.
3. Check oil pressure warning lamp illumination.
Oil pressure warning lamp should not illuminate.
OK or NG
OK EGO TO 6.
NG EGO TO 24.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
SensorInput signal to ECM ECM functionActuator
Engine coolant temperature
sensor Engine coolant temperature
Cooling fan control Cooling fan relay
Air conditioner switch Air conditioner ªONº signal
The ECM controls the cooling fan corresponding to the vehicle speed, engine coolant temperature, air condi-
tioner ON signal.
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.
DTC Malfunction is detected when ... Check Items (Possible Cause)

Cooling fan does not operate properly (Overheat).
I Cooling fan system does not operate properly (Over-
heat).
I Engine coolant was not added to the system using
the proper filling method. I

For more information, refer to ªMAIN 12 CAUSES OF
OVERHEATINGº, EC-448.
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.

A/T Fluid Check
FLUID LEAKAGE CHECK
1. Clean area suspected of leaking. Ð for example, mating sur-face of converter housing and transmission case.
2. Start engine, apply foot brake, place selector lever in ªDº posi- tion and wait a few minutes.
3. Stop engine.
4. Check for fresh leakage.
FLUID CONDITION CHECK
Fluid color Suspected cause
Dark or black with burned odor Wear of frictional material
Milky pink Water contamination Ð Road water enter-
ing through filler tube or breather
Varnished fluid, light to dark
brown and tacky Oxidation Ð Over or under filling, Ð Over-
heating
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Refer to MA section (ªChecking A/T Fluidº, ªCHASSIS AND BODY
MAINTENANCEº).
Stall Test
STALL TEST PROCEDURE
1. Check A/T and engine fluid levels. If necessary, add.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and ATF
reach operating temperature.ATF operating temperature: 50 - 80ÉC (122 - 176ÉF)
3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.
I It is good practice to put a mark on point of specified
engine rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in ªDº position.
6. Accelerate to wide open throttle gradually while applying foot brake.
7. Quickly note the engine stall revolution and immediately release throttle.
I During test, never hold throttle wide open for more than 5
seconds.
Stall revolution: 2,450 - 2,700 rpm
