Removal and Installation

WARNING:
Do not remove radiator cap and/or reservoir tank cap when engine is hot. Serious burns could occur
from high pressure engine coolant escaping from radiator and/or reservoir tank.
REMOVAL
1. Remove front engine undercover and middle engine undercover. Refer toEI-15, "FRONT BUMPER".
2. Drain engine coolant from radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and from water drain plug at the
side of cylinder block. Refer toCO-7, "
Changing Engine Coolant"andEM-110, "CYLINDER BLOCK".
CAUTION:
Perform this step when engine is cold.
3. Remove engine cover. Refer toEM-20, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD".
4. Disconnect radiator hoses (upper and lower) from engine side. Refer toCO-11, "
RADIATOR".
5. Remove air inlet pipe and air duct between air cleaner case and turbocharger. Refer toEM-15, "
AIR
CLEANER AND AIR DUCT"andEM-28, "TURBO CHARGER".
6. Remove water outlet, water inlet and thermostat.
7. Remove thermostat housing.
8. Disconnect heater return hose and water hoses at heater return pipe side, and remove heater return pipe.
9. Remove oil level gauge guide mounting bolt, vacuum hoses (to turbocharger boost control solenoid valve)
and spill hose. Refer toEM-36, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER",EM-20, "INTAKE MANIFOLD"andEM-
44, "INJECTION TUBE AND FUEL INJECTOR".
10. Disconnect water hoses (to EGR cooler) (A/T models), vacuum hoses and heater feed hose at heater
feed pipe side, and remove heater feed pipe. Refer toEM-20, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD".
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Thermostat
lPlace a string so that it is caught in the valves of the thermostat.
Immerse fully in a container filled with water. Heat while stirring.
lThe valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and falls from the thread.
lContinue heating. Check the full-open lift amount.
lAfter checking the full-open lift amount, lower the water temper-
ature and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard values
lIf out of the standard, replace thermostat.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
lSecurely insert each hose, and install clamp at a position where it does not interfere with the pipe bulge.
lWhen inserting heater feed pipe end into cylinder head, apply a neutral detergent to O-ring. Then insert it
immediately.

lInstall the thermostat with the whole circumference of each
flange part fit securely inside the rubber ring.
lInstall the thermostat with the jiggle valve facing upwards.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
lCheck for leaks of engine coolant using the radiator cap tester adapter [SST: EG17650301] and the radia-
tor cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer toCO-7, "
CHECKING RADIATOR SYSTEM FOR LEAKS".
lStart and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant.

CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeEBS01KFL
Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicEBS01KFM
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. Refer toCO-7, "
Changing Engine
Coolant". Also, replace the engine oil. Refer toLU-6, "Changing 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 toMA-16, "
Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio".
2. After refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow noise is emitted.
Overall Function CheckEBS01KFN
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling fan. During this check, a DTC might not be con-
firmed.
WARNING:
lNever remove a radiator cap and/or a reservoir tank cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns
could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from the radiator and the reservoir tank.
lWrap a thick cloth around 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.
