DTC DETECTION LOGIC
NOTE:
•
If DTC P1217 is displayed with DTC UXXXX, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC UXXXX.
• If DTC P1217 is displayed with DTC P0607, first perform the trouble diagno sis for DTC P0607. Refer
to EC-353, "
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 abnorma lly high temperature condition, a malfunction is
indicated.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant. Refer to CO-9, "
Refilling". Also,
replace the engine oil. Refer to LU-8, "
Refilling".
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, "
Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio".
2. After refilling coolant, run engine to en sure that no water-flow noise is emitted.
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1.PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK
Perform component function check. Refer to EC-366, "
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-367, "
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.

CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES
Check hoses for the following:
• Improper attachment
• Leaks
• Cracks
• Damage
• Loose connections
• Chafing
• Deterioration
CHECKING RESERVOIR LEVEL
• Check that the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the
MAX (A) to MIN (B) range when the engine is cool.
• Adjust the engine coolant level if necessary.
CAUTION:
Refill the engine cooling system with the specified coolant or
equivalent. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
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.
CAUTION:
• Perform this step when the engine is cold.
• Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system using suit-
able tools (A) and (B).
Draining Engine CoolantINFOID:0000000012432134
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

4. Install the Tool by installing the radiator cap adapter onto the
radiator neck opening. Then attach the gauge body assembly
with the refill tube and the venturi assembly to the radiator cap
adapter.
5. Insert the refill hose into the engine coolant mixture container that is placed at floor level. Make sure the ball valve is in the
closed position.
•Use recommended engine coolant or equivalent.
Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
CAUTION:
Do not use any cooling system additives such as radiator
sealer. Additives may clog th e cooling system and cause
damage to the engine, transmission and/or cooling system.
6. Install an air hose to the venturi assembly, the air pressure must be within specification.
CAUTION:
The compressed air supply must be equipped with an air dryer.
7. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and there will be an audible hissing noise. During this process open the ball valve on the refill hose slightly. Engine coolant wi ll be visible rising in the refill hose. Once the refill
hose is full of engine coolant, close the ball valve. This will purge any air trapped in the refill hose.
8. Continue to draw the vacuum until the gauge reaches 28 inches of vacuum. The gauge may not reach 28 inches in high altitude
locations, use the vacuum specifications based on the altitude
above sea level.
9. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specifi ed amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds
to see if the system loses any vacuum. If the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the
system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to bring the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck for any leaks.
10. Place the engine coolant container (with the refill hose inserted) at the same level as the top of the radia- tor. Then open the ball valve on the refill hose so the engine coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling sys-
tem. The cooling system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the engine coolant co ntainer to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn
into the cooling system.
11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening.
12. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specified level and install the radiator cap. Run the engine to warm up the cooling system and t op up the system as necessary.
13. Install the front under cover. Refer to EXT-39, "

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
• Visually check for significant dirt or rust on the water pump body
and vane (A) and replace as necessary.
• Check that the vane shaft turns smoothly by hand and is not excessively loose.
• Replace the water pump assembly if the water pump does not per-
form properly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Tighten water pump bolts in order as shown.
CAUTION:
• Do not allow the water pump vane to contact any other parts.
• Water pump cannot be disassembled and must be replaced asan assembly.
• Do not reuse gasket.
• Sealing surface must be clean and free of dents or flaws.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels, includi ng engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leaks.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no lea ks of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids, including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels, including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec- ified level, if necessary.
• Summary of the inspection items:
*Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.
