Engine Cooling - Endeavor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The cooling system is designed to keep every part of the engine at appropriate
temperature in whatever condition the engine may be operated. The cooling method
is of the water-cooled, pressure forced circulation type in which the water pump
pressurizes coolant and circulates it throughout the engine. If the coolant
temperature exceeds the prescribed temperature, the thermostat opens to circulate
the coolant through the radiator as well so that the heat absorbed by the coolant may
be radiated into the air. The water pump is of the centrifugal type and is driven by
the drive belt from the crankshaft. The radiator is the corrugated fin, down flow
type. CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM Fig. 1: Identifying Engine Cooling Construction Diagram

ENGINE COOLING DIAGNOSIS INTRODUCTION The system cools the engine so that it does not over-heat and maintains the engine
at an optimum temperature. The system components are the radiator, water pump,
thermostat, condenser fan assembly. Possible faults include low coolant,
contamination, belt loosening and component damage. TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEG

Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If you follow them carefully, you
will be sure to find most of the engine cooling faults.
1. Gather information from the customer.
2. Verify that the condition described by the customer exists.
3. Find and repair the malfunction by following the SYMPTOM CHART.
4. Verify that the malfunction is eliminated. SYMPTOM CHART SYMPTOM INSPECTION PROCEDURE CHART SYMPTOM PROCEDURES INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1: Coolant Leak DIAGNOSIS

Check that the coolant level is up to the filler neck. Install a radiator tester and
apply 160 kPa (23 psi) pressure, and then check for leakage from the radiator
hose or connections.
WARNING:When pressure testing the cooling system,
slowly release cooling system pressure to avoid
getting burned by hot coolant.
CAUTION:
Be sure to completely clean away any
moisture from the places checked. When the tester is removed, be careful not to
spill any coolant. When installing and removing the tester and
when testing, be careful not to deform the
filler neck of the radiator.

Q: Is leakage present from the radiator hose or connections?
YES: Repair or replace the appropriate part, then go to Step 2.
NO: There is no action to be taken.
STEP 2. Retest the system.
Q: It there still coolant leakage?
YES: Return to Step 1 .
NO: The procedure is complete.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2: Engine Overheating
2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor Limited 2004 ENGINE Engine Cooling - Endeavor

DIAGNOSI
S
STEP 1. Remove the radiator cap and check for coolant contamination.
Q: Is the coolant contaminated with rust and oil?
YES: Replace it. Refer to ENGINE COOLANT REPLACEMENT
.
NO: There is no action to be taken. Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check the radiator cap valve opening pressure.
1. Use a cap adapter to attach the cap to the tester.
2. Increase the pressure until the gauge indicator stops moving.
Minimum limit: 83 kPa (12 psi)
Standard value: 93 - 123 kPa (14 - 18 psi)
NOTE: Be sure that the cap is clean before testing. Rust or
other foreign material on the cap seal will cause an
improper reading.

Q: Does the reading remain at or above the minimum limit?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Replace the radiator cap. Then go to Step 5 .
STEP 3. Check thermostat operation.
Refer to INSPECTION
.
Q: Does the thermostat operate correctly?
YES: Go to Step 4.
NO: Replace the thermostat, then go to Step 5 .
STEP 4. Check the drive belt for slippage or damage.

G .
Q: Is the drive belt loose or damaged?
YES: Adjust or replace the drive belt, then go to Step 5.
NO: There is no action to be taken.
STEP 5. Retest the system.
Check the engine coolant temperature.
Q: Is the engine coolant temperature abnormally high?
YES: Return to Step 2 .
NO: The procedure is complete.
