WATER PUMP
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Visually check that there is no significant dirt or rusting on water
pump body and vane.
Make sure there is no looseness in vane shaft, and that it turns
smoothly when rotated by hand.
If anything is found, replace water pump.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check for leaks of engine coolant using radiator cap tester adapter [SST: EG17650301 (J–33984-A)] and
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-40, "
LEAK CHECK" .
Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant.

THERMOSTAT AND WATER CONTROL VALVE
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
5. Disconnect water suction hose from water inlet.
6. Remove water inlet and thermostat.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble thermostat.
7. Remove intake manifolds (upper and lower). Refer to EM-179, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD" .
8. Disconnect radiator hose (upper) from thermostat housing.
9. Disconnect heater hoses from water outlet and heater pipe.
10. 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 control valve are completely closing at normal tempar-
ature.
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 normal 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 engine room. Use rag to absorb engine coolant.
Thermostat and Water Control Valve
Install thermostat and water control valve with the whole circum-
ference of each flange part fit securely inside rubber ring. (The
example in the figure shows thermostat.)

Water Outlet Pipe and Heater Pipe
First apply a neutral detergent to O-rings, then quickly insert the insertion parts of the water outlet pipe and
heater pipe into the installation holes.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check for leaks of engine coolant using radiator cap tester adapter [SST: EG17650301 (J33984-A)] and
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-40, "

System DescriptionNKS003TV
UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT
Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge and water temperature gauge are controlled by the
unified meter control unit, which is built into the combination meter. Unified meter control unit receives sig-
nals from unified meter and A/C amp.
Warning lamp and indicator lamp of combination meter are controlled by signals drawn from the unified
meter and A/C amp.
Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter.
NOTE:
The record of the odo meter is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter
is erased when the battery cable is disconnected.
Dot matrix LCD is adopted to display “push engine starter”, “A/T position” and “ICC system* ”.
Odo/trip meter and dot matrix LCD segments can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
Meters/gauges can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
*: With ICC system

Vehicle Speed Signal InspectionNKS003U7
Symptom: Speedometer or odo/trip meter indication is malfunction.
1. CHECK UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. INPUT SIGNAL
1. Connect CONSULT-II, and start engine.
2. Compare the value in “SPEED METER” of “DATA MONITOR” in
“METER A/C AMP” to that in speedometer in the combination
meter during driving.
Is the value in speedometer almost same as that in the monitor?
YES >> Preform self-diagnosis of ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit). Refer to BRC-22, "
CONSULT-II Functions
(ABS)" .
NO >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. OUTPUT SIGNAL
1. Start engine and drive vehicle at approximately 40 km/h (25
MPH).
2. Check voltage signal between unified meter and A/C amp. har-
ness connector and ground.
NOTE:
Maximum voltage may be 5 V due to specifications (connected units).
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG-1 >> If monitor indicates “0 V” constantly, perform the following.
1. Check each unit inputting vehicle speed signal (8 pulse). Malfunction is caused by short circuit
between each unit and unified meter and A/C amp.
2. Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.
NG-2 >> If monitor indicates “5 V” or “12 V” constantly, replace unified meter and A/C amp.
