Overall Function CheckABS007ST
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling fan. During this check, a DTC might not be con-
firmed.
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.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank and radiator. Allow engine to cool before checking coolant level.
If the coolant level in the reservoir tank and/or radiator is below
the proper range, skip the following steps and go to EC-1219,
"Diagnostic Procedure" .
2. Confirm whether customer filled the coolant or not. If customer filled the coolant, skip the following steps and go to EC-1219,
"Diagnostic Procedure" .
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Perform “COOLING FAN” in “ACTIVE TEST” mode with CON- SULT-II.
5. If the results are NG, go to EC-1219, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
WITH GST
1. Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank and radiator.
Allow engine to cool before checking coolant level.
If the coolant level in the reservoir tank and/or radiator is below
the proper range, skip the following steps and go to EC-1219,
"Diagnostic Procedure" .
2. Confirm whether customer filled the coolant or not. If customer filled the coolant, skip the following steps and go to EC-1219,
"Diagnostic Procedure" .
3. Disconnect engine coolant temperature sensor harness connec- tor.
4. Connect 200 Ω resister to the engine coolant temperature sensor
harness connector.
5. Start engine and make sure that cooling fan operates at middle speed.
Be careful not to overheat engine.
If NG, go to EC-1219, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
If OK, go to the following step.
6. Turn ignition switch OFF.
7. Disconnect 200 Ω resister from engine coolant temperature sen-
sor harness connector.

DTC P1217 ENGINE OVER TEMPERATURE
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
4. CHECK COOLING FAN MIDDLE SPEED OPERATION
Without CONSULT-II
1. Disconnect engine coolant temperature sensor harness connector.
2. Connect 200 Ω resistor to engine coolant temperature sensor harness connector.
3. Start engine and let it idle.
4. Make sure that cooling fan operates.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 5.
NG >> Check cooling fan middle speed control circuit. (Go to
EC-1221, "
PROCEDURE A" .)
5. CHECK COOLING FAN HIGH SPEED OPERATION
Without CONSULT-II
1. Disconnect 200 Ω resister to the engine coolant temperature sensor harness connector.
2. Connect 150 Ω resistor to engine coolant temperature sensor harness connector.
3. Start engine and let it idle.
4. Make sure that cooling fan operates at higher speed than middle speed.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 6.
NG >> Check cooling fan control circuit. (Go to EC-1223,
"PROCEDURE B" .)
6. CHECK COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAK
Apply pressure to the cooling system with a tester, and check if the
pressure drops.
CAUTION:
Higher than the specified pressure may cause radiator damage.
Pressure should not drop.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 7.
NG >> Check the following for leak. Refer to CO-37, "
LEAK
CHECK" .
