ENGINE COOLING (4JK1/4JJ1) 6B-15
Inspection and Repair
Make the necessary adjustments, repairs, and part
replacements if excessive wear or damage is
discovered during inspection.
Radiator Cap
Measure the valve opening pressure of the pressurizing
valve with a radiator filler cap tester.
Replace the cap if the valve opening pressure is outside
the standard range.
Valve opening pressure: 93.3 - 122.7 kPa (0.95 - 1.25 kg / cm
2 / 13.5 -
17.8 psi)
Cap tester: 5–8840–0277–0
Adapter: 5–8840–2603–0
Check the condition of the vacuum valve in the cente
r
of the valve seat side of the cap. If considerable rust or
dirt is found, or if the valve seat cannot be moved by
hand, clean or replace the cap.
Valve opening vacuum: 1.96 - 4.91 kPa (0.02 - 0.05 kg / cm
2 / 0.28 - 0.71
psi)

Radiator Core
1. A bent fin may result in reduced ventilation and
overheating may occur. All bent fins must be
straightened. Pay close attention to the base of the
fin when it is being straightened.
2. Remove all dust, bugs and other foreign material.
Flushing the Radiator
Thoroughly wash the inside of the radiator and the
engine coolant passages with cold water and mild
detergent. Remove all signs of scale and rust.
Cooling System Leakage Check
Use a radiator cap tester to force air into the radiator
through the filler neck at the specified pressure of 196
kPa (2.0 kg / cm2 / 28.5 psi) with a cap tester:
• Leakage from the radiator.
• Leakage from the coolant pump.
• Leakage from the water hoses.
• Check the rubber hoses for swelling.

Cruise Cancel Switch
This parameter displays the input state of the cruise
cancel switch to the ECM. When the Cruise Cancel
switch is applied, the scan tool displays Off.

resume/accel. switch to the ECM. When the Cruise
Resume/Accel. switch is applied, the scan tool displays
On.
Cruise Set Switch

MIL should be On when the scan tool indicates
command On. The MIL should be Off when the scan
tool indicates command Off.
SVS Lamp Command (Service Vehicle Soon)
This parameter displays the commanded state of the
service vehicle soon (SVS) lamp control circuit. The
SVS lamp should be On when the scan tool indicates
command On. The SVS lamp should be Off when the
scan tool indicates command Off.
Limp Home Mode
This parameter indicates the state of the limp-home
mode. None indicates limp-home mode is not applied.
1, 2, 3 and 4 indicates fuel injection quantity reduction
is applied. 2 or higher number inhibits pilot injection. If 4
is indicated, engine running will be stopped when the
vehicle speed is less than 5 km/h (3 MPH) for 5
seconds.
Distance While MIL is Activated
This parameter displays the mileage since the
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is turned ON.
Engine Runtime With MIL Active
This parameter displays the engine run time elapsed
since the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is turned
ON. The scan tool will display the time in minutes.
Total Engine Overspeed Event
This parameter indicates counter of engine overspeed
event. Counter will be zero if any DTC is cleared.
Total Engine Coolant Overtemperature Event
This parameter indicates counter of engine overheat
event. The counter is active if engine coolant is over
11 0 °C (230 °F). Counter will be zero if any DTC is
cleared. Total Fuel Temperature Overtemperature Event
This parameter indicates counter of fuel temperature
excessively high condition. The counter is active if fuel
temperature is over 95 °C (203 °F). Counter will be zero
if any DTC is cleared.
Total Intake Air Temperature Overtemperature
Event
This parameter indicates counter of intake air
temperature excessively high condition. The counter is
active if intake air temperature is over 55 °C (131 °F).
Counter will be zero if any DTC is cleared.
Immobilizer Function Programmed
This parameter displays the state of the immobilizer
function programming in the ECM. The scan tool will
display Yes or No. Yes indicates the immobilizer
security information is correctly programmed in the
ECM. No indicates the ECM is not programmed or
ECM is reset.
Wrong Immobilizer Signal
This parameter displays the input state of the received
response signal to the ECM. When the ECM received
wrong response signal from the immobilizer control unit
(ICU), the scan tool displays Yes.
Immobilizer Signal
This parameter displays the input state of the response
signal to the ECM. When the ECM received any
response signal from the immobilizer control unit (ICU),
the scan tool displays Yes.
Security Wait Time
This parameter displays the security wait time length in
the ECM. Inactive indicates not in security wait time.
Time indicates under security wait time. This wait time
stage will prevent any further attempts to enter the
security code until the wait time has elapsed. The wait
time will increase each time an incorrect security code
is entered. Note that this parameter is not count
downed. It keeps displaying the same time until that
wait time has elapsed. The ignition switch must be kept
at ON position during the wait time period.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM (4JK1/4JJ1) 6E-135
DTC P0217 (Flash Code 542)
Circuit Description
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is
installed to the thermostat housing. The ECT sensor is
a variable resistor and it measures the temperature of
the engine coolant. If the ECM detects an excessive
high coolant temperature, this DTC will set.
Condition for Running the DTC • DTCs P0116, P0117 and P0118 are not set.
• The battery voltage is more than 9 volts.
• The ignition switch is ON.
• The engine is running.
Condition for Setting the DTC • The ECM detects that the engine coolant temperature is more than 110 °C (230 °F) for 5
seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets • The ECM will not illuminate the MIL or SVS lamp. Refer to DTC Type Definitions for Action Taken
When the DTC Sets - Type D. Condition for Clearing the DTC
• Refer to DTC Type Definitions for Condition for Clearing the DTC - Type D.
Diagnostic Aids • After starting the engine, the ECT should rise steadily to about 80 to 85 °C (176 to 185 °F) then
stabilize when the thermostat opens.
• Use the Temperature vs. Resistance table to test the ECT sensor at various temperature levels to
evaluate the possibility of a skewed sensor. A
skewed sensor could result in poor driveability
concerns.
• The Total Engine Coolant Overtemperature Events parameter on scan tool indicates number of
overheat events.
Notice: • This DTC is caused by an engine overheat condition (e.g. low engine coolant level). Since this
DTC does not illuminate any lamps, clear the DTC
and ensure there are no signs of engine damage.
Excessive engine overheat may damage internal
engine components.
