REMOVAL
WARNING:
Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot.
Serious burns could occur from high-pressure engine
coolant escaping from radiator. Wrap a thick cloth arou nd radiator cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a
turn to release built-up pressure. Carefully remove radiator cap by turning it all the way.
1. Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to EM-169, "
Component".
2. Remove engine front undercover with power tool.
3. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-37, "
Changing Engine Coolant".
CAUTION:
Perform this step when engine is cold.
4. Remove air duct (inlet), air cleaner case and mass air flow sensor assembly. Refer to EM-173, "
Compo-
nent".
5. Remove radiator hoses (upper and lower). CAUTION:
Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.

11. Lift up and remove radiator.
CAUTION:
Do not damage or scratch A/C condenser and radiator core
when removing.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
 Check for leaks of engine coolant using radiator cap tester adapter (commercial service tool) and radiator
cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-37, "
Inspection".
 Start and warm up engine. Visually Check if t here is no leaks of engine coolant and A/T fluid.
Checking Radiator CapINFOID:0000000001325873
 Check valve seat of radiator cap.
- Check if valve seat is swollen to the extent that the edge of the
plunger cannot be seen when watching it vertically from the top.
- Check if valve seat has no soil and damage.
 Pull negative-pressure valve to open it, and make sure that it close
completely when released.
- Make sure that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of radi-
ator cap negative-pressure valve.
- Make sure that there are no unusualness in the opening and clos- ing conditions of negative-pressure valve.
 Check radiator cap relief pressure.
- When connecting radiator cap to the radiator cap tester adapter (commercial service tool) (B) and t he radiator cap tester (commer-
cial service tool) (A), apply engine c oolant to the cap seal surface.
 Replace radiator cap if there is an unusualness.

Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001325883
CAUTION:
 When removing water pump, be careful no
t to get engine coolant on drive belts.
 Water pump can not be disassembled and should be replaced as a unit.
 After installing water pump, connect hose and clamp securely, then check for leaks using radiator
cap tester (commercial service tool) and radiator cap tester adapter (commercial service tool).
REMOVAL
1. Drain engine coolant from drain plugs on radiator and both side of cylinder block. Refer to CO-37, "Chang-
ing Engine Coolant" and EM-242, "Disassembly and Assembly".
CAUTION:
 Perform this step when engine is cold.
 Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
2. Remove following parts:  Engine front undercover
 Air duct (inlet): Refer to EM-173, "
Component".
 Alternator, water pump and A/C compressor belt: Refer to EM-170, "
Component".
3. Remove fan coupling with cooling fan, and then fan and water pump pulley.

REMOVAL
1. Drain engine coolant from drain plugs on radiat or and both side of cylinder block. Refer to CO-37, "Chang-
ing Engine Coolant" and EM-242, "Disassembly and Assembly".
CAUTION:
 Perform this step when engine is cold.
 Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
2. Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to EM-169, "
Component".
3. Remove air duct (inlet). Refer to EM-173, "
Component".
4. Disconnect water suction hose from water inlet.
5. Remove water inlet and thermostat. CAUTION:
Do not disassemble thermostat.
6. Remove intake manifolds (upper and lower). Refer to EM-175, "
Component".
7. Disconnect radiator hose (upper) and wa ter hoses from thermostat housing.
8. Disconnect heater hoses from water outlet and heater pipe.
9. Remove thermostat housing, water outlet pipe, water connector, water control valve, water outlet and heater pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble water control valve.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
 Make sure that valves both in thermostat and water c ontrol valve are completely closing at normal tempera-
ture.
 Place a thread so that it is caught in the valves of the thermostat
and water control valve. Immerse fully in a container filled with
water. Heat while stirring. (The example in the figure shows ther-
mostat.)
 The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the valve opens and falls from the thread.
 Continue heating. Check the maximum valve lift. NOTE:
The maximum valve lift standard temperature for water control
valve is the reference value.
 After checking the maximum valve lift, lower the water tempera-
ture and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard values:
 If the malfunctioning condition, when closing valve at nor mal temperature, or measured values are out of the
standard, replace thermostat and/or water control valve.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to spill engine coolant over en gine room. Use rag to absorb engine coolant.

COMBINATION METERS
 Combination meter indicates the engine speed according to engine speed signal.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
 ECM provides engine coolant temperature signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.
 Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits engine coolant temperature signal to combination meter with commu-
nication line.
 Combination meter indicates the engine coolant temper ature according to engine coolant temperature sig-
nal.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
 Unified meter and A/C amp. reads a resistor signal from fuel level sensor.
Signal is supplied- from unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 36
- through the fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (main) terminals 5 and 2, and
- through the fuel level sensor unit (sub) terminals 2 and 1
- to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 28 for the fuel gauge.
 Unified meter and A/C amp. provides a fuel level signal to combination meter with communication line.
 Combination meter indicates the approximate fuel level according to the fuel level signal.
ODO/TRIP METER
 ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) provi des a vehicle speed signal to the unified meter and A/C
amp. with CAN communication.
 Unified meter and A/C amp. converts the vehicle s peed signal to the 8-pulse signal, and outputs the vehicle
speed signal (8-pulse) to combination meter.
 Combination meter uses the vehicle speed signal (8- pulse) to calculate the mileage, and displays it.
