GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE COOLING14-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M1141000100371
The 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 circu
-
lation type in which the water pump pressurizes cool-
ant and circulates it throughout the engine. If the
coolant temperature exceeds the prescribed temper
-
ature, 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 crank
-
shaft. The radiator is the corrugated fin, down flow
type.

•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
