Put a cloth under the air relief plug to prevent engine coolant from dampening the crankshaft
position sensor.
Pour coolant to the MAX level line of the reservoir tank at
a rate of 2 liter (1-3/4 lamp qt.)/min. or lower.
3. Close the air relief plug.
CAUTION:
If the filling rate is too fast, this could lead to air being
mixed in the coolant. Be sure to fill the coolant slowly
according to the rate indicated above.
Use Insane Genuine Engine Coolant or equivalent mixed
with water (distilled or demineralized). Refer to MA-21,
"Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio".
4. Start engine without closing reservoir tank cap and keep engine racing at 1,500 rpm for about 2-3 minutes.
If necessary, pour engine coolant up to MAX level.
If coolant overflows reservoir tank hole, install filler cap.
Watch engine coolant temperature gauge so as not overheat the engine.
WARNING:
 Be careful not to be scaled with hot engine coolant or vacuum pump when operating.
 Radiator fan blade can start at any time and cause personal injuries.
5. Turn off the engine and loosen air relief plug until coolant spills from air relief hole.
6. Close the air relief plug and run the engine at 2,000 rpm until the upper hose becomes hot and radiator
fan operates. Leave the engine running approximately 5 minutes at idle speed and check for sound of
coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000 rpm.
 Sound may be noticeable at heater water cock.
7. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating steps 4 to 6 until coolant level no longer
drops.
 Check the radiator lower hose for any signs of leakage.
8. Turn off the engine and let it cool down.
 Cool down using a fan to reduce the time.
9. After cooling period, loosen the air relief plug and check if coolant spills from the air relief hole. if not,
remove the air relief plug until the coolant spills, and then close the relief air plug. Bleed air from cooling
system by repeating steps 6 to 10 until the coolant spills immediately.
10. Check the engine coolant level when engine is cool and refill to MAX level line if the level is lower.
 Clean excess coolant from engine.
11. Check that the reservoir tank cap is tightened.

1. Install reservoir tank if removed.
If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-314, "
Exploded
View".
2. Fill reservoir tank with water until water spills from the air relief hole, then close air relief plug. Reinstall
reservoir tank cap.
3. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
5. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
6. Drain water.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
8. Blow compressed air into cooling circuit through the reservoir tank valve hole to drain all the water.

DTC DETECTION LOGIC
NOTE:
If DTC P1217 is displayed with DTC U1000 U1001, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC U1000
U1001. Refer to EC-128, "
DTC Logic".
If DTC P1217 is displayed with DTC U1010, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC U1010. Refer
to EC-129, "
DTC Logic".
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.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant. Refer to CO-11, "
Inspection". Also,
replace the engine oil. Refer to LU-7, "
Draining".
1. Fill radiator with coolant up to specified level with a filling speed of 2 liters per minute. Be sure to
use coolant with the proper mixture ratio. Refer to MA-20, "
SAE Viscosity Number".
2. After refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow noise is emitted.
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1.PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK
Perform component function check. Refer to EC-257, "
Component Function Check".
NOTE:
Use component function check to check the overall function of the cooling fan. During this check, a DTC might
not be confirmed.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Go to EC-258, "
Diagnosis Procedure".

1.PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK-I
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high pres-
sure fluid escaping from the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around 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.

DTC Inspection Priority Chart
INFOID:0000000001161408
If some DTCs are displayed at the same time, perform inspections one by one based on the following priority
chart.
P1128 Throttle control motor ECM stops the electric throttle control actuator control, throttle valve is maintained at a
fixed opening (approx. 5 degrees) by the return spring.
P1229 Sensor power supply ECM stops the electric throttle control actuator control, throttle valve is maintained at a
fixed opening (approx. 5 degrees) by the return spring.
P1805 Brake switch ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator by regulating the throttle opening to a
small range.
Therefore, acceleration will be poor.
Vehicle condition Driving condition
When engine is idling Normal
When accelerating Poor acceleration
P2122
P2123
P2127
P2128
P2138Accelerator pedal position
sensorThe ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator in regulating the throttle opening in
order for the idle position to be within +10 degrees.
The ECM regulates the opening speed of the throttle valve to be slower than the normal
condition.
So, the acceleration will be poor. DTC No. Detected items Engine operating condition in fail-safe mode
