GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
⦆
The cooling system is designed to keep every part
of the engine at appropriate temperature in
whatever condition the engine may be operated.
The cooling method is of the water-cooled, pressure
forced circulation type in which the water pump
pressurizes coolant and circulates it throughout the
engine. If the coolant temperature exceeds the
prescribed temperature, the thermostat opens to
circulate the coolant through the radiator as well so
CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM
M11401000001USA0000010000
that the heat absorbed by the coolant may be
radiated into the air. The water pump is of the
centrifugal type and is driven by the drive belt from
the crankshaft. The radiator is the corrugated fin,
down flow type.
⦆
PremAir® direct ozone reduction (DOR) radiator
has been adopted to vehicle for California emission
regulation. A catalyst which depollutes ozone (O3)
in the air has been insufflated to the radiator core.

ENGINE COOLING DIAGNOSIS
INTRODUCTION
The system cools the engine so that it does not
overheat and maintains the engine at an optimum
temperature. The system components are the
radiator, water pump, thermostat, condenser fan
assembly. Possible faults include low coolant,
contamination, belt loosening and component
damage.
TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY
Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If
you follow them carefully, you will be sure to find most
of the engine cooling faults.
1.
Gather information from the customer.
2.
Verify that the condition described by the customer
exists.
3.
Find and repair the malfunction by following the
SYMPTOM CHART.
4.
Verify that the malfunction is eliminated.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
Inspection Procedure 1: Coolant Leak
DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check for coolant leaks.
When pressure testing the cooling system, slowly release
cooling system pressure to avoid getting burned by hot
coolant.

ENGINE COOLING DIAGNOSIS
⦆
Be sure to completely clean away any moisture from the
places checked.
⦆
When the tester is removed, be careful not to spill any
coolant.
⦆
When installing and removing the tester and when
testing, be careful not to deform the filler neck of the
radiator.
Check that the coolant level is up to the filler neck. Install a
radiator tester and apply 160 kPa (23 psi) pressure, and then
check for leakage from the radiator hose or connections.
Adapter
Q:Is leakage present from the radiator hose or
connections?
YES: Repair or replace the appropriate part, then go to
Step 2.
NO: There is no action to be taken.
ZC602733
AA00
STEP 2. Retest the system.
Q:It there still coolant leakage?
YES: Return to Step 1.
NO: The procedure is complete.
Inspection Procedure 2: Engine Overheating
DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Remove the radiator cap and check for coolant
contamination.
Q:Is the coolant contaminated with rust and oil?
YES: Replace it. Refer to P.14-15.
NO: There is no action to be taken. Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check the radiator cap valve opening pressure.
NOTE: Be sure that the cap is clean before testing. Rust
or other foreign material on the cap seal will cause an
improper reading.
(1)
Use a cap adapter to attach the cap to the tester.
(2)
Increase the pressure until the gauge indicator stops moving.
