CAUTION:

When removing water pump, be careful not to get engine coolant on drive belt.

Water pump cannot be disassembled and should be replaced as a unit.
REMOVAL
1. Drain engine coolant so that no engine coolant comes out from water pump fitting hole. Refer to MA-13,
"DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
CAUTION:
Perform when the engine is cold.
2. Remove the engine front undercover using power tool.
3. Remove the air duct and resonator assembly. Refer to EM-14, "
Removal and Installation" .
4. Remove the drive belt. Refer to EM-12, "
Removal and Installation" .
5. Remove the water pump pulley.
6. Remove the water pump.

Engine coolant will leak from the cylinder block, so have a receptacle ready below.
CAUTION:
Handle water pump vane so that it does not contact any other parts.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Visually check that there is no significant dirt or rust on the water
pump body and vane.

Make sure there is no looseness in the vane shaft, and that it
turns smoothly when rotated by hand.

Replace the water pump assembly, if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:
Perform when the engine is cold.
2. Remove the air duct and resonator assembly. Refer to EM-14, "
REMOVAL" .
3. Remove the engine room cover using power tool.
4. Disconnect the heater hose (heater core side).
5. Remove the heater hose bracket.
6. Disconnect the water cut valve connector.
7. Remove the water cut valve.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Place a thread so that it is caught in the valve of the thermostat.
Immerse fully in a container filled with water. Heat while stirring.

The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and falls from the thread.

Continue heating. Check the full-open lift amount.

After checking the full-open lift amount, lower the water temper-
ature and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard values:
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Installation of Thermostat

Install the thermostat with the whole circumference of each
flange part fit securely inside the rubber ring as shown.

Install the thermostat with the jiggle valve facing upwards.
Installation of Water Outlet Pipe and Heater Pipe
First apply a neutral detergent to the 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 the engine coolant. Refer to CO-10, "CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS" .

Start and warm up the engine. Visually check for leaks of the engine coolant.
