2007 ISUZU KB P190 coolant temperature

HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING 1-93
MAGNETIC CLUTCH
W hen the A/C switch and the fan control knob (fan switch) are turned on with the engine running, current flows
through the thermostat and the compressor relay to activate the magnetic clutch.
The air conditioning can be stopped by turning off the A/C switch or the fan control knob (fan switch).
However, even when the air conditioning is in operation, the electronic thermostat, the pressure switch or the ECM
is used to stop the air conditioning temporarily by turning off the magnetic clutch in the prearranged conditions to
reduce the engine load which is being caused by the rise in the engine coolant temperature, and the acceleration of
the vehicle, etc.

COOLING SYSTEM
Coolant Level
Check the coolant level and replenish the radiator reserve
tank as necessary.
If the coolant level falls below the “MIN” line, carefully
check the cooling system for leakage. Then add enough
coolant to bring the level up to the “MAX” line.



Engine coolant Filling up procedure
1. Make sure that the engine is cool.
Warning:
When the coolant is heated to a high temperature, be
sure not to loosen or remove the rediator cap.
Otherwise you might get scalded by hot vapor or
boiling water.
To open the radiator cap, put a piece of thick cloth on
the cap and loosen the cap slowly to reduce the
pressure when the coolant has become cooler.
2. Open rediator cap pour coolant up to filler neck
3. Pour coolant into reservoir tank up to “MAX” line
4. Tighten radiator cap and start the engine. After idling for 2 to 3 minutes, stop the engine and reopen radiator
cap. If the water level is lower, replenish.
5. After replenish the coolant tighten radiator cap, warm up the engine at about 2000 rpm. Set heater
adjustment to the highest temperature position, and let
the coolant circulate also into heater water system.
6. Check to see the thermometer, continuously idling 5 minutes and stop the engine.
7. W hen the engine has been cooled, check filler neck for water level and replenish if required. Should
extreme shortage of coolant is found, check the
coolant system and reservoir tank hose for leakage.
8. Pour coolant into the reservoir tank up to “MAX” line.

1. Set the vehicle parking brake and chock the drive wheels.
2. Place the transmission in neutral.
3. Start the engine and allow it to idle until the coolant temperature reaches 70 - 80 °C (158 - 176 °F).


4. Disconnect the engine control cable from the control lever.
5. Set a tachometer to the engine.
6. Check the engine idling speed. If the engine idling speed is outside the specified
range, it must be adjusted.

6B – 4 ENGINE COOLING

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
COOLANT FLOW








RTW 66ALF000101

The engine cooling system consists of the radiator, the water pump, the cooling fan, and the thermostat.
To quickly increase cold engine coolant temperature for smooth engine operation, the coolant is circulated by the
water pump and thermostat through the bypass hose and back to the cylinder body.
The coolant does not circulate through the radiator.
W hen the coolant temperature reaches specified value, the thermostat will begin to open and a gradually increasing
amount of coolant will circulate through the radiator.
The thermostat will be fully open when the coolant temperature reaches specified value. All of the coolant is now
circulating through the radiator for effective engine cooling.
