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.

CAUSES OF OVERHEATING'', EC-120.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant following the procedure in the MA
section (``Changing Engine Coolant'', ``ENGINE MAINTENANCE''). Also, replace the engine oil.
a. Fill radiator with coolant up to speci®ed level with a ®lling speed of 2 liters per minute. Be sure to
use coolant with the proper mixture ratio. Refer to MA section (``Anti-freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio'',
``RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS'').
b. After re®lling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-¯ow 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 con®rmed.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could be caused by high pressure ¯uid 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.
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 ``DIAG-
NOSTIC PROCEDURE'', EC-117.
2) Con®rm whether customer ®lled the coolant or not. If customer
®lled the coolant, skip the following steps and go to ``DIAGNOS-
TIC PROCEDURE'', EC-117.
3) Turn ignition switch ``ON''.
4) Perform ``COOLING FAN'' in ``ACTIVE TEST'' mode with
CONSULT and make sure that cooling fan operates
when touching ``ON''.

3) Disconnect engine coolant temperature sensor harness
connector.
4) Connect 150Wresistor to engine coolant temperature
sensor harness connector.
5) Start engine and make sure that cooling fan operates.

CHECK COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAK.
Apply pressure to the cooling system with
a tester, and check if the pressure drops.
Testing pressure:
157 kPa (1.57 bar, 1.6 kg/cm
2, 23 psi)
Pressure should not drop.
CAUTION:
Higher than the speci®ed pressure may
cause radiator damage.

Check the following for
leak.
+Hose
+Radiator
+Water pump
Refer to LC section (``Water
Pump'').
CHECK RADIATOR CAP.
Apply pressure to cap with a tester.
Radiator cap relief pressure:
78 - 98 kPa (0.78 - 0.98 bar, 0.8 - 1.0
kg/cm
2, 11 - 14 psi)
OK

Replace radiator cap.
CHECK THERMOSTAT.
1. Check valve seating condition at normal
room temperatures.
It should seat tightly.
2. Check valve opening temperature and
valve lift.
Valve opening temperature:
82ÉC (180ÉF) [standard]
Maximum valve lift:
More than 10 mm/95ÉC
(0.39 in/203ÉF)
3. Check if valve is closed at 5ÉC (9ÉF)
below valve opening temperature.
For details, refer to LC section (``Thermo-
stat'').
OK

Replace thermostat.
Check engine coolant temperature sensor.
Refer to ``COMPONENT INSPECTION'',
EC-82.

Replace engine coolant
temperature sensor.
If the cause cannot be isolated, go to
``MAIN 12 CAUSES OF OVERHEATING''
on next page.
INSPECTION END
Perform FINAL CHECK by the following procedure after repair
is completed.
1. Warm up engine. Run the vehicle for at least 20 minutes. Pay
attention to engine coolant temperature gauge on the instrument
panel. If the reading shows an abnormally high temperature,
another part may be malfunctioning.
2. Stop vehicle and let engine idle. Check the intake and exhaust
systems for leaks by listening for noise or visually inspecting the
components.
3. Allow engine to cool and visually check for oil and coolant leaks.
Then, perform ``OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK''.

General Precautions
+Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time with-
out proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any in¯ammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any
in¯ammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refriger-
ant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be
sure to properly ventilate the area before working with hazard-
ous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
+Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After
jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety
stands at the points designated for proper lifting before work-
ing on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
+When removing a heavy component such as the engine or
transaxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and
drop it. Also, do not allow it to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
+Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:
Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
+To prevent serious burns:
Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
+Before servicing the vehicle:
Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate cov-
ers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.

Cooling Circuit
System Check
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot; serious
burns could be caused by high pressure ¯uid escaping from
the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around cap and carefully loosen it a quar-
ter turn to release built-up pressure. Then remove the cap
completely.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES
Check hoses for proper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose
connections, cha®ng and deterioration.
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
Apply pressure to radiator cap by means of a cap tester to see if it
is satisfactory.
Radiator cap relief pressure:
78-98kPa
(0.78 - 0.98 bar, 0.8 - 1.0 kg/cm
2, 11 - 14 psi)
