HINT: Removal of the thermostat would have an adverse ef-
fect, causing a lowering of cooling efficiency. Do not remove
the thermostat, even if the tends to overheat.

RADIATOR
CLEANING OF RADIATOR
Using water or a steam cleaner, remove any mud and dirt
from the radiator core.
NOTICE: If using a high pressure type cleaner, be careful
not to deform the fins of the radiator core. If the cleaner
nozzle pressure is 2,942±3,432 kPa (30±35 kgf/cm2,
427±498 psi), keep a distance at least 40±50 cm
(15.75±19.69 in.) between the radiator core and cleaner
nozzle.
INSPECTION OF RADIATOR
1. REMOVE RADIATOR CAP FROM RESERVOIR TANK
2. INSPECT RADIATOR CAPUsing a radiator cap tester, pump the tester and measure the
relief valve opening pressure.
Standard opening pressure:
74±103 kPa
(0.75±1.05 kgf/cm, 10.7±14.9 psi)
Minimum opening pressure:
59 kPa (0.6 kgf/cm, 8.5 psi)
If the opening pressure is less than minimum, replace the ra-
diator cap.
3. INSPECT COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS (a) Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator captester to the reservoir tank.
(b) Warm up the engine.
(c) Pump it to 118 kPa (1.2 kgf/cm2, 17.1 psi), check that pressure does not drop.
If the pressure drops, check for leaks as the hoses, radiator
or water pump. If no external leaks are found, check the heat-
er core, cylinder block and head.

ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED HYDRAULIC COOLING FAN
Description
In this way system, the cooling fan ECU controls the hydraulic pressure ac\
ting on the hydraulic motor, thus
controlling the speed of the cooling fan steplessly in response to the c\
ondition of the engine and air conditioner.
Operation
The hydraulic pump is driven by a drive belt (V±ribbed belt). The sole\
noid valve adjusts the volume of oil
sent from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic motor which drives the fan dir\
ectly, thereby controlling the fan
speed. Oil which has passed through the hydraulic motor is cooled by the oil coole\
r before returning to the reservoir
tank. The solenoid valve is controlled by the computer in accordance with the E/G\
rpm, water temp. and A/C
signals. CO±22

INSPECTION OF FLUID LEVEL
1. KEEP VEHICLE LEVEL
2. INSPECT FLUID LEVEL
(a) Using SST, connect terminals OP1 and E1 of the check(ºDIAGNOSISº) connector.
SST 09843±18020
HINT: When terminals OP1 and E1 are connected, the circuit
of the water temp. sensor is grouded, fixing the fan speed at
approx. 1,100 rpm. (Fail±safe operation occurs.)
(b) Keep the engine speed at 2,000 rpm until the fluid temperature reaches the specified temperature.
Fluid temp.: 70±90 5C (158±195 5F)
(c) Check that there is no foaming and emulsification of the
fluid in the reservoir tank.
(d) Measure the fluid level with the engine running.
(e) Stop the engine, and measure the fluid level.
(f) Subtract (d) from (e).
Maximum stroke: 5 mm (0.20 in.)
(g) Check the fluid level.
If low, add fluid.
Fluid: ATF DEXRON II
HINT: Check that fluid level is within the ºHOTº level on reser-
voir tank. If the fluid is cold, check that it is within the ºCOLDº\
level on the tank.
(h) Remove the SST from the check connector.
