GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE COOLING14-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M1141000100371The cooling system is designed to keep every part of
the engine at appropriate temperature in whatever
condition the engine may be operated. The cooling
method is of the water-cooled, pressure forced
circulation type in which the water pump pressurizes
coolant and circulates it throughout the engine. If the
coolant temperature exceeds the prescribed temperature, the thermostat opens to circulate the
coolant through the radiator as well so that the heat
absorbed by the coolant may be radiated into the air.
The water pump is of the centrifugal type and is
driven by the alternator drive belt from the
crankshaft. The radiator is the corrugated fin, down
flow type.

ENGINE COOLING14-7
CIRCUIT OPERATION
•The cooling fan motor drive control unit is
powered from fusible link (2).
•The engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU
uses input signals from the A/C switch, the
water temperature sensor unit and the vehicle
speed sensor or the output shaft speed
sensor to control the speed of the cooling
fan motor (L.H.) and the cooling fan motor (R.H.)
<4G1 (Vehicles with A/C)> or A/C condenser fan
motor <4G6>.
•The engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU
controls the cooling fan motor drive control
unit to activate the cooling fan motor (L.H.) and
the cooling fan motor (R.H.) <4G1 (Vehicles with
A/C)> or A/C condenser fan motor <4G6>.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
•The cause could be a malfunction of the cooling
fan motor drive control unit power supply or earth
circuit.
•If the communication line wiring harness between
the cooling fan motor drive control unit and the
engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU is
short-circuited to earth, the cooling fan motor
(L.H.) and the cooling fan motor (R.H.) <4G1
(Vehicles with A/C)> or the A/C condenser fan
motor <4G6> will not rotate.
•The cause could also be a malfunction of the
cooling fan motor (L.H.).
•The cause could also be a malfunction of imput
signal from the A/C switch, the water temperature
sensor unit and the vehicle speed sensor
or the output shaft speed sensor to the
engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU .
•The cause could also be a malfunction of the
cooling fan motor drive control unit or the
engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU .
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
•Malfunction of fusible link (2)
•Malfunction of fan control relay
•Malfunction of cooling fan motor (L.H.) without A/C>
•Malfunction of cooling fan motor drive control unit
•Malfunction of engine-ECU or
engine-A/T-ECU
•Damaged wiring harness or connector
DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check the cooling fan motor (L.H.).

Refer to P.14-25.
Q: Is the cooling fan motor (L.H.) in good condition?
YES :
Go to Step 2 .
NO : Replace the cooling fan motor (L.H.) (Refer
to P.14-35). Then go to Step 24 .
STEP 2. Measure the power supply voltage at
cooling fan motor drive control unit connector
A-18.
(1) Disconnect cooling fan motor drive control unit
connector A-18 and measure wiring harness side
connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between cooling fan motor
drive control unit connector A-18 terminal 3 and
body earth.
•The voltage should measure system voltage.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
(5) Connect cooling fan motor drive control unit
connector A-18.
Q: Is the measured voltage system voltage?
YES :
Go to Step 17 .
NO : Go to Step 3 .
