REMOVAL
1. Remove radiator cap and drain coolant from radiator. Refer to
CO-12, "Changing Engine Coolant".
CAUTION:
• Perform this step when the engine is cold.
• Do not spill coolant on the drive belt.
2. Remove front air duct. Refer to EM-29, "Removal and Installation"
.
3. Disconnect coolant reservoir hose from the radiator.
4. Remove fender protector side cover (LH/RH). Refer to EXT-26, "FENDER PROTECTOR : Exploded
View".
5. Disconnect radiator hose (upper) and radiat or hose (lower) from the radiator.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the coolant to contact the drive belt.
NOTE:
The radiator hose clamps on the radiator hose (upper ) and on the radiator hose (lower), are not serviced
separately. Radiator hose clamps are part of the radiator hose assembly and serviced as one unit with the
radiator hose.
6. Disconnect the CVT oil cooler hoses.
7. Remove the front bumper fascia. Refer to EXT-17, "Removal and Installation"
.
8. Remove A/C condenser. Refer to HA-30, "COMPRESSOR : Removal and Installation"
.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage condenser core.
9. Remove the radiator mounts (upper).
10. Remove radiator. CAUTION:
Do not damage or scratch the radiator core when removing.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• After installation, refill coolant and check for leaks. Refer to CO-12, "Changing Engine Coolant"
and CO-11,
"System Inspection".
CAUTION:
Do not spill coolant in engi ne compartment. Use a shop cloth to absorb coolant.
InspectionINFOID:0000000009460417
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Check that the reservoir tank cap is tightened.
• Check for leakage of engine coolant using Tool (B) and suitable tool (A). Refer to CO-35, "System Inspection"
.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap wh en the engine is hot. Seri-
ous burns could occur from high pressure coolant escaping
from the radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
• Start and warm up the engine. Visually check that there is no leakage of engine coolant and CVT fluid (CVT
models). Tool number : EG17650301 (J-33984-A)
Testing pressure : Refer to CO-53, "Radiator"
.

WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure
engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a th ick cloth around the cap. Slowly push down and
turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by pushing it down
and turning it all the way.
NOTE:
• When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from
spilling.
• Replace the radiator shroud and cooling fan assembly as a unit. Do not replace cooling fan motors or cool-
ing fan blades separately.

DTC DETECTION LOGIC
NOTE:
• If DTC P1217 is displayed with DTC UXXXX, first perform the tr ouble diagnosis for DTC UXXXX.
• If DTC P1217 is displayed with DT C P0607, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0607. Refer
to EC-404, "DTC Logic"
.
If the cooling fan or another component in the cooli ng system malfunctions, engine coolant temperature will
rise.
When the engine coolant temperature reaches an abnorma lly high temperature condition, a malfunction is
indicated.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is in dicated, be sure to replace the coolant. Refer to CO-12, "Changing Engine
Coolant". Also, replace the engine oil. Refer to LU-10, "Changing Engine Oil".
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-12, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Engine Cool-
ant Mixture Ratio".
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-423, "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 >> Proceed to EC-424, "Diagnosis Procedure"
.

1.PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK-1
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 ca p by turning it a quarter turn to allow built-up
pressure to escape. Then turn the cap all the way off.
