52Chapter 6 Cooling System Inspection
(MR7131A, MR7151A, MR7161A)Section 1 System Check1. Check the cooling system for leakage. See (Figure 118)
(a) Fill coolant into radiator. Install the tester onto the radiator cap port.
(b) Start engine.
(c) The water pump pressure is 118Kpa. Check the pressure and ensure the
pressure will not drop. If the pressure drops, check the port, radiator and
water pump for leakage. If there is no leakage, check the heat exchanger,
cylinder block and cylinder head.
2. Check the engine coolant level in the reservoir.
The coolant level should be between low and full marks.
3. Check coolant quality
(a) Remove radiator cap.
To avoid being scalded, do not remove radiator cap while the engine and
radiator are still hot, as fluid and steam can be sprayed under pressure.
(b) There should not be excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator,
and the coolant should be free from oil.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap.
4. Thermostat
Hint:
The thermostat temp indicates the valve opening temperature.
See (Figure 119).
(a) Immerse the thermostat in water and gradually heat the water.
(b) Check the valve opening temperature. Valve opening temperature: 80 -- 84°C
(c) Check the valve lift. See (Figure 120, Figure 121). Valve lift: 8mm or mor at
95°C
(d) Check the thermostat is fully closed when the thermostat is at low temperature
( 77°C).
5. Radiator cap valve
Standard opening pressure: 93-123kpa
Minimum opening pressure: 78kpa
If the opening pressure is less thanminimum, replace the radiator cap.Figure 118

536. Fan
(1) Check the cooling fan operation with low temperature (Lower than
83°C)
(a) Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position.
(b) Check that the cooling fan stops.
(c) Pull out the water temperature sensor connector. See (Figure
122)
(d) Connect the water temperature sensor to car body with the
wire and ground the wire.
(e) Check the cooling fan operation.
(f) Insert water temperature sensor connector.> 93°C
See (Figure 123)
(a) Start engine and make the coolant temp. higher than 93°C.
(b) Check that the cooling fan turns.
Replace it with water temperature switch if it doesn't run)
(3) Check the cooling fan. See (Figure 124)
(a) Disconnect the cooling fan connector.
(b) Connect the battery and ammeter to the connector.
(c) Check that the cooling fan rotates smoothly and check
the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage: 5.7 - 7.7A
(d) Reconnect the cooling fan connector.Disconnest

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
(a) Get the value of water temperature with the diagnosis tester
1Connect the diagnosis tester to the diagnosis interface
2Turn the ignition switch to ON
3Read the value of engine water temperature displayed on the diagnosis tester
Standard: The same with the actual engine coolant temperature.
Result and solution:
If it is normal, the water temperature gauge has no malfunction
If abnormal, Inspect the combination meter assembly
(b) Inspect the combination meter assembly

299Section 2 Heating SystemHeating system uses mixed temperature adjustment which controls both cold and hot air and is featured in
outstanding temperature adjustment performance. The cold and hot air can be completely mixed at each
outlet and achieve continuous temperature adjustment. The air duct arrangement on the instrument panel is
shown in Figure 2. The air flow channel system is shown in Figure 3.I. Heating System Parameter and StructureHeating system uses water heating structure which uses the engine coolant as the heat source, leads the the
coolant into the heating radiator installed in the vehicle compartment and has the interior or exterior air blow
across the radiator with the blower to increase its temperature. The system consists of the blower assembly,
heating control assembly and heater assembly.Figure 2 Heating Duct ArrangementInside and Outside Air Switch Door Outdoor AirIndoor AirDefoggerIntermidiate outletHeaterBlower MotorEvaporatorAir Mix DoorHeating RadiatorFigure 3 Air Flow Channel System Illustration
