Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001538864
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 CO-11,
"Changing 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-25, "
Removal and Installation".
4. Remove the drive belt. Refer to EM-13, "
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 signi ficant 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.
• After installation bleed the air from the cooling system. Refer to CO-11, "
Changing Engine Coolant".

If the cooling fan or another component in the cooling system malfunctions, engine coolant temperature will
rise.
When the engine coolant temperature reaches an abnorma lly high temperature condition, a malfunction is
indicated.
This self-diagnosis has the one trip detection logic.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant. Refer to CO-11, "
Changing Engine
Coolant". Also, replace the engine oil. Refer to LU-9, "Changing Engine Oil".
1. Fill radiator with coolant up to specified level with a filling speed of 2 liters per minute. Be sure to
use coolant with the proper mixture ratio. Refer to CO-10
.
2. After refilling coolant, run engine to en sure that no water-flow noise is emitted.
Overall Function CheckINFOID:0000000001351715
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling fan. During this check, a DTC might not be con-
firmed.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap and/or reservoir tank cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could
be caused by high pressure fluid escaping fr om the radiator and/or reservoir tank.
Wrap a thick cloth around 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.
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank and radiator. Allow engine to cool before checking coolant level.
If the coolant level in the reservoir tank and/or radiator is below
the proper range, skip the following steps and go to EC-395,
"Diagnosis Procedure".
2. Confirm whether customer filled the coolant or not. If customer
filled the coolant, skip the following steps and go to EC-395,
"Diagnosis Procedure".
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
