Coolant reservoir
Oil filter module
Thermostat
When the engine coolant
reaches 90℃, the thermostat
starts to open (fully open at
100℃) and lets the coolant
flow to the radiator to
maintain the engine
temperature.
Water pump
The water pump is driven by the engine drive belt and
supplies the coolant to each area of the engine.

Water pump Impeller vaneSealing

08-91520-00
Coolant temperature sensor
Measures the coolant
temperature and sends the
result to the engine ECU.
Electric fan
Circulates the fresh air forcibly to exchange
heat with the radiator core fin.
Radiator
Releases heat through fins and cools down the hot
coolant as the coolant passes through the tube of
the radiator core.

resistance
D terminal
voltage
Disconnect the cable connected to the
B terminal on the alternator. Connect
one end of the ammeter to the B
terminal and the other end to the cable
connected to the B terminal.
Measure the maximum output value.
(Maintain the engine speed between
2,500 and 3,000 rpm.)
(Turn the headlamp and all the electrical
switches on.) 1.
2.Pass: If the measured current is
45 A or higher.
Fail: If the measured current is
less than 45 A.
Check the current of the B
terminal. -
-
-
Move the gear selector lever to the
neutral position.
Maintain the engine speed at 2,500 rpm
with the vehicle unloaded.
(Turn all the electrical switches off.) 1.
2.Open circuit: If the measured
current is 5 A or higher. -
Disconnect the negative cable from the
battery.
Remove the B terminal and turn off the
ignition switch.
Measure the resistance between the L
and F terminals with an ohmmeter. 1.
2.
3.Pass: If the measured resistance
is between 3 and 6 Ω.
Faulty rotor coil or slip ring: If the
measured resistance is less than
3 Ω or greater than 6 Ω. -
-
Connect the B terminal wiring.
Measure the voltage with the engine
running. 1.
2.Specification: 12.5 V to 14.5 V
Faulty IC regulator or field coil: If
the measured voltage is 14.5 V
or higher. -
-
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Connect the negative cable again after connecting the ammeter. -

3) Checking Battery

09-71451-01
(1) Checking
Using battery tester ▶
PASS (11.0 V or more): Explain to the customer that the battery is reusable.
Need to be charged (9.0 to 11.0 V): Charge the battery with a charger and reinstall it. Explain it
to the customer.
Need to be replaced (9.0 V or more): The battery should be replaced due to overdischarging. -
-
-
(2) How to use battery tester
How it works and How to use it ▶
Determine battery capacity by fixing current
(load capacity) and time and varying voltage.
Determine battery capacity based on the
amount of voltage drop when discharging a
fixed load capacity (120 A) for 5 seconds.
Connect the tester to the battery and read
the display while applying a load for 5
seconds. -
-
-
How to read display ▶
Red area (①): overdischarge or faulty
battery
Yellow area (②): Need to be charged (using
a vehicle alternator and a battery charger)
Green area (③): Normal
Red area on the left-hand side of OK (④):
Impossible to charge with an alternator
Green area with OK (⑤): Normally charged
Red area on the right-hand side of OK (⑥):
Overcharged by an alternator -

(3) Starting with jumper cable
If the battery is weak or terminated, the battery from another vehicle can be used with jumper
cables to start the engine.
Connecting order ▶
The positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery
The positive (+) terminal of the booster battery
The negative (-) terminal of the booster battery
Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the body of the discharged vehicle, such as the
engine block or a front towing hook. 1.
2.
3.
4.
Starting ▶
Prepare a set of jumper cables.
Place another vehicle that has the same 12 V of power near to the discharged vehicle.
Switch off all electrical accessories for the discharged vehicle.
Apply the parking brake and shift the transaxle to the P position (automatic transaxle) or neutral
(N) position (manual transaxle).
Connect the jumper cables.
Try to start the discharged vehicle while accelerating the engine rpm in the booster vehicle.
Attempt to start the engine with the discharged battery.
After starting the engine, carefully disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse sequence of
connection. 1.
