Diagnostic Procedure
EC-291

On Board Diagnosis LogicNBEC0610This diagnosis checks whether the engine coolant temperature is
extraordinary high, even when the load is not heavy.
When malfunction is detected, the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
will light up even in the first trip.
Malfunction is detected when engine coolant temperature is exces-
sively high under normal engine speed.
Possible CauseNBEC0611IThermostat
IImproper ignition timing
IEngine coolant temperature sensor
IBlocked radiator
IBlocked front end (Improper fitting of nose mask)
ICrushed vehicle frontal area (Vehicle frontal is collided but not
repaired)
IBlocked air passage by improper installation of front fog lamp
or fog lamps.
IImproper mixture ratio of coolant
IDamaged bumper
For more information, refer to ªMAIN 12 CAUSES OF
OVERHEATINGº, EC-319.
Overall Function CheckNBEC0612Use this procedure to check the overall function of the coolant
overtemperature enrichment protection check, a DTC might not be
confirmed.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could be caused by high-pressure fluid escaping from
the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around the 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.
SEF621W
WITH CONSULT-IINBEC0612S011) Check the coolant level and mixture ratio (using coolant tester)
in the reservoir tank and radiator.
Allow engine to cool before checking coolant level and
mixture ratio.
IIf the coolant level in the reservoir and/or radiator is below the
proper range, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-316.
IIf the coolant mixture ratio is out of the range of 45 to 55%,
replace the coolant in the following procedure MA-14, ªChang-
ing Engine Coolantº.
a) Fill radiator with coolant up to specified level with a filling speed

of 2 liters per minute like pouring coolant from a kettle. Be sure
to use coolant with the proper mixture ratio. Refer to MA-12,
ªAnti-freeze Coolant Mixture Ratioº.
b) After refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow
noise is emitted.
c) After checking or replacing coolant, go to step 3 below.
2) Ask the customer if engine coolant has been added. If it has
been added, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-316. After
repair, go to the next step.
3) Start engine and let it idle.
4) Make sure that A/C switch is ªOFFº and air conditioner is not
operating. If NG, check air conditioner circuit. Refer to HA-30
or HA-35, ªTROUBLE DIAGNOSESº. After repair, go to the
next step.
5) Check for blocked coolant passage.
a) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature, then grasp
radiator upper hose and lower hose and make sure that cool-
ant flows.
If NG, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-316. After repair, go
to the next step.
Be extremely careful not to touch any moving or adjacent
parts.
6) Check for blocked radiator air passage.
a) When market fog lamps have been installed, check for dam-
aged fans and clogging in the condenser and radiator.
b) Check the front end for clogging caused by insects or debris.
c) Check for improper fitting of front-end cover, damaged radia-
tor grille or bumper, damaged vehicle front.
If NG, take appropriate action and then go to the next step.
7) Check function of ECT sensor.
Refer to step 7 of ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-316.
If NG, replace ECT sensor and go to the next step.
8) Check ignition timing. Refer to basic inspection, EC-101.
Make sure that ignition timing is 15ɱ5É at idle.
If NG, adjust ignition timing and then recheck.

Main 12 Causes of Overheating
EC-319

SEF332I
Component DescriptionNBEC0185The knock sensor is attached to the cylinder block. It senses
engine knocking using a piezoelectric element. A knocking vibration
from the cylinder block is sensed as vibrational pressure. This
pressure is converted into a voltage signal and sent to the ECM.
Freeze frame data will not be stored in the ECM for the knock
sensor. The MIL will not light for knock sensor malfunction.
The knock sensor has one trip detection logic.
ECM Terminals and Reference ValueNBEC0663Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.
