Camshaft Position Control (VVT Variable Valve Timing) System DescriptionS6RW0D1401002
System Description
The VVT system is an electronic control system which continuously vary and optimize the intake valve timing in
response to the engine operating condition.
The optimized intake valve timing produce such an air intake with high efficiency that both the higher power generation
and lower fuel consumption can be attained in the whole engine speed range from low to high. In the area of the
average engine load, low emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and high fuel efficiency can also be attained by making
the valve opening overlap between the intake and exhaust valves longer.
For the brief of the system operation, the intake valve timing is varied by the cam timing sprocket (1) which varies the
rotational phase between the intake camshaft (3) and sprocket. The rotor (2) in the cam timing sprocket is actuated by
switching or adjusting the hydraulic pressure applied to the chambers for the timing advancing (7) and/or retarding (6).
To switch or adjust the hydraulic pressure appropriately, ECM operates the oil control valve (12) with detecting the
engine speed, intake air value, throttle opening, engine coolant temperature and camshaft position (angle).

Engine Cooling System
General Description
Cooling System DescriptionS6RW0D1601001
The cooling system consists of the radiator cap, radiator,
coolant reservoir, hoses, water pump, cooling fan and
thermostat. The radiator is of tube-and-fin type.
Coolant DescriptionS6RW0D1601002
WARNING!
• Do not remove radiator cap to check
engine coolant level; check coolant
visually at the see-through coolant
reservoir. Coolant should be added only to
reservoir as necessary.
• As long as there is pressure in the cooling
system, the temperature can be
considerably higher than the boiling
temperature of the solution in the radiator
without causing the solution to boil.
Removal of the radiator cap while engine is
hot and pressure is high will cause the
solution to boil instantaneously and
possibly with explosive force, spewing the
solution over engine, fenders and person
removing cap. If the solution contains
flammable anti-freeze such as alcohol (not
recommended for use at any time), there is
also the possibility of causing a serious
fire.
• Check to make sure that engine coolant
temperature is cold before removing any
part of cooling system.
• Also be sure to disconnect negative cable
from battery terminal before removing any
part.

The coolant recovery system is standard. The coolant in
the radiator expands with heat, and the coolant is
overflowed to the reservoir.
When the system cools down, the coolant is drawn back
into the radiator.
The cooling system has been filled with a quality coolant
that is a 50/50 mixture of water and ethylene glycol
antifreeze.
This 50/50 mixture coolant solution provides freezing
protection to –36 °C (–33 °F).
• Maintain cooling system freeze protection at –36 °C (–
33 °F) to ensure protection against corrosion and loss
of coolant from boiling. This should be done even if
freezing temperatures are not expected.
• Add ethylene glycol base coolant when coolant has to
be added because of coolant loss or to provide added
protection against freezing at temperature lower than
–36 °C (–33 °F).
NOTE
• Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain
water alone should not be used in cooling
system at any time as damage to cooling
system could occur.
• Coolant must be mixed with demineralized
water or distilled water.

Thermostat Removal and InstallationS6RW0D1606007
Removal
1) Drain coolant referring to “Cooling System Draining”.
2) Remove intake manifold referring to “Intake Manifold
Removal and Installation in Section 1D”.
3) Disconnect water hose (1) and heater hose (2) from
each pipe.
4) Remove thermostat case (3) with thermostat cap (4)
and water inlet pipe (5).
5) Remove water inlet pipe with thermostat cap from
thermostat case.
6) Remove thermostat from thermostat case (3).
Installation
Reverse removal procedure for installation noting the
following points.
• Install thermostat (5) to thermostat case (2) by
aligning air bleed valve (4) of thermostat with mark (3)
of thermostat case and, then install thermostat cap (1)
to thermostat case.
• Use new O-rings when installing.
• Refill cooling system referring to Step 7) to 17) of
“Cooling System Flush and Refill”.
• Verify that there is no coolant leakage at each
connection.
Thermostat InspectionS6RW0D1606008
• Make sure that air bleed valve (1) of thermostat is
clean.
• Check to make sure that valve seat (2) is free from
foreign matters which would prevent valve from
seating tight.
• Check thermostat seal (3) for breakage, deterioration
or any other damage.
• Check thermostatic movement of wax pellet as
follows:
a. Immerse thermostat (1) in water, and heat water
gradually.
b. Check that valve starts to open at specific
temperature.
Temperature at which valve begins to open
80 – 84 °C (176 – 183 °F)
Temperature at which valve become fully open
95 – 97 °C (203 – 206 °F)
Va l v e l i ft
More than 8 mm (0.31 in.) at 95 °C (203 °F)
If valve starts to open at a temperature substantially
below or above specific temperature, thermostat unit
should be replaced with a new one. Such a unit, if
reused, will bring about overcooling or overheating
tendency.
