THERMOSTAT
1.Immerse the thermostat in water and gradually heat water.
2.Check the valve opening temperature.
Valve opening temperature : 82°C (177°F)
Full opening temperature : 95°C (205°F)
If the valve opening temperature is not as specified, replace the thermostat.
3. Check the valve lift.
Valve lift : Min. 10mm (0.4in.) at 95°C (205°F)
If the valve lift is not as specified, replace the thermostat.
ENGINE COOLANT REFILLING AND BLEEDING
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious scalding could be caused by hot fluid under high
pressure escaping from the radiator.
When pouring engine coolant, be sure to shut the relay box lid and not to let coolant spill on the electrical parts or
the paint. If any coolant spills, rinse it off immediately.
1. Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to the touch.
2. Open the radiator cap.
3. Loosen the drain plug, and drain the coolant.
4. Tighten the radiator drain plug securely.
5. Remove, drain and clean the reservoir tank.
6. Fill water slowly through the radiator cap. Push the upper/lower hoses of the radiator so as to bleed air easily.
7. Warm the engine until the cooling fan operates 2~3 times.
Accelerate the engine 2~3 times without load.
8. Wait until the engine is cold.
9. Repeat the steps 1~8 until the water drained is clean.
10. Fill fluid mixture with coolant and water(4 : 6) slowly through the radiator cap. Push the upper/lower hoses of the
radiator so as to bleed air easily.
11. Start the engine and run so coolant circulates.
When the cooling fan operates and coolant circulates, refill coolant through the radiator cap.
12. Repeat 11 until the cooling fan cycles 3 ~ 5 times and bleed air sufficiently out of the cooling system.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
SPARK TEST
1. Remove the ignition coil connector(A).
Disconnect the iguition coil connector while pulling up tre connector lock.
2. Remove the ignition coil.
3. Using a spark plug socket, remove the spark plug.
4. Install the spark plug to the ignition coil.
5. Ground the spark plug to the engine.
6.Check is spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
To prevent fuel being injected from injectors while the engine is being cranked, remove the fuel pump(A) relay
from the fuse box.
Crank the engine for no more than 5 ~ 10 seconds.
7. Inspect all the spark plugs.
8. Using a spark plug socket, install the spark plug.
9. Install the ignition coil.
10. Reconnect the ignition coil connector.

STARTER CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING
The battery must be in good condition and fully charged.
1. Remove the fuel pump relay(A) from the fuse box.
2. With the shift lever in N or P (A/T) or clutch pedal pressed (M/T), turn the ignition switch to "START"
If the starter normally cranks the engine, starting system is OK. If the starter will not crank the engine at all, go to
next step.
If it won't disengage from the ring gear when you release key, check for the following until you find the cause.
a. Solenoid plunger and switch malfunction.
b. Dirty pinion gear or damaged overrunning clutch.
3. Check the battery condition. Check electrical connections at the battery, battery negative cable connected to the
body, engine ground cables, and the starter for looseness and corrosion. Then try starting the engine again.
If the starter cranks normally the engine, repairing the loose connection repaired the problem. The starting system
is now OK.
If the starter still does not crank the engine, go to next step.
4. Disconnect the connector from the S- terminal of solenoid. Connect a jumper wire from the B- terminal of solenoid to
the S- terminal of solenoid.
If the starter cranks the engine, go to next step.
If the starter still does not crank the engine, remove the starter, and repair or replace as necessary.
5. Check the following items in the order listed until you find the open circuit.
a. Check the wire and connectors between the driver's under - dash fuse/relay box and the ignition switch, and
between the driver's under - dash fuse/relay box and the starter.
b. Check the ignition switch (Refer to BE group - ignition system)
c. Check the transaxle range switch connector or ignition lock switch connector.
d. Inspect the starter relay.
STATER SOLENOID TEST
1.Disconnect the field coil wire from the M- terminal of solenoid switch.
2. Connect the battery as shown. If the starter pinion pops out, it is working properly. To avoid damaging the starter,
do not leave the battery connected for more than 10 seconds.
3.Disconnect the battery from the M terminal.
If the pinion does not retract, the hold- in coil is working properly. To avoid damaging the starter, do not leave the
battery connected for more than 10 seconds.

Starter Relay

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
INSPECTION
1.Remove the fuse box cover.
2. Remove the starter relay.
3. Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between each terminal.
Terminal Continuity
30 - 87 NO
85 - 86 YES
4. Apply 12V to terminal 85 and ground to terminal 86.
Check for continuity between terminals 30 and 87.
5.If there is no continuity, replace the starter relay.
6. Install the starter relay.
7. Install the fuse box cover.

during testing. An example would be if a problem appears only when the vehicle is cold but has not appeared when
warm. In this case, the technician should thoroughly make out a "CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS SHEET" and
recreate (simulate) the environment and condition which occurred when the vehicle was having the issue.1. Clear Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
2. Inspect connector connection, and check terminal for poor connections, loose wires, bent, broken or corroded pins,
and then verify that the connectors are always securely fastened.
3.Slightly shake the connector and wiring harness vertically and horizontally.
4. Repair or replace the component that has a problem.
5. Verify that the problem has disappeared with the road test.
● SIMULATING VIBRATION
a. Sensors and Actuators
: Slightly vibrate sensors, actuators or relays with finger.
Strong vibration may break sensors, actuators or relays
b. Connectors and Harness
: Lightly shake the connector and wiring harness vertically and then horizontally.
● SIMULATING HEAT
a. Heat components suspected of causing the malfunction with a hair dryer or other heat source.
a.DO NOT heat components to the point where they may be damaged.
b. DO NOT heat the ECM directly.
● SIMULATING WATER SPRINKLING
a. Sprinkle water onto vehicle to simulate a rainy day or a high humidity condition.
DO NOT sprinkle water directly into the engine compartment or electronic components.
● SIMULATING ELECTRICAL LOAD
a. Turn on all electrical systems to simulate excessive electrical loads (Radios, fans, lights, rear window defogger,
etc.).
