Diagnosis Procedure
- CHECK COOLING FAN OPERATION
With CONSULT-III
- Turn ignition switch ON.
- Perform "COOLING FAN" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-III.
- Make sure that cooling fan motors-1 and -2 operate at each speed (LOW/HI).
Without CONSULT-III
- Perform IPDM E/R auto active test and check cooling fan motors operation, refer to "DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION ".
- Make sure that cooling fan motors-1 and -2 operate at each speed (Low/High).
Is the inspection result normal?
YES: GO TO 2.
NO: GO TO "DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE ".
- CHECK COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAK-I
Check cooling system for leak. Refer to "INSPECTION ".
Is leakage detected?
YES: GO TO 3.
NO: GO TO 4.
- CHECK COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAK-II
Check the following for leak.
- Hose
- Radiator
- Water pump
Repair or replace malfunctioning part.
- CHECK RADIATOR CAP
Check radiator cap. Refer to "RADIATOR CAP : INSPECTION ".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES: GO TO 5.
NO: Replace radiator cap.
- CHECK THERMOSTAT
Check thermostat. Refer to "INSPECTION ".
Is the inspection result normal
YES: GO TO 6.
NO: Replace thermostat.
- CHECK WATER CONTROL VALVE
Check water control valve. Refer to "INSPECTION ".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES: GO TO 7.
NO: Replace water control valve
- CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES: GO TO 8.
NO: Replace engine coolant temperature sensor.
- CHECK MAIN 13 CAUSES
If the cause cannot be isolated, check the following.
