5. Apply the designated sealant to the screw area of
the cylinder block drain plug, and then tighten to
the standard torque.
Specified sealant: 3M Nut Locking Part
No.4171 or equivalent
Tightening torque:
40 ± 5 N⋅m <4G1>
44 ± 5 N⋅m <4G6>
6. Securely tighten the drain plug of the radiator.
7. Reinstall the radiator condenser tank.
CAUTION
Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze or any
engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol
anti-freeze. The use of an improper anti-freeze
can cause corrosion of the aluminium
components.
8. By referring to the section on coolant, select an
appropriate concentration for safe operating
temperature within the range of 30 to 60%. Use
special tool LLC changer (MB991871) to refill the
coolant. A convenient mixture is a 50% water and
50% antifreeze solution (freezing point: −31°C).
Recommended antifreeze: DIAQUEEN SUPER
LONG LIFE COOLANT or equivalent
Quantity:
5.0 L <4G1>
7.0 L <4G6>
NOTE: For how to use special tool MB991871,
refer to its manufacturer’s instructions.9. Reinstall the radiator cap.
10.Start the engine and let it warm up until the
thermostat opens.
11.After repeatedly revving the engine up to 3,000
r/min several times, then stop the engine.
12.Remove the radiator cap after the engine has
become cold, and pour in coolant up to the brim.
Reinstall the cap.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the radiator condenser tank.
13.Add coolant to the radiator condenser tank
between the "F" and "L" mark if necessary.
CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENTM1141001100352
Measure the temperature and specific gravity of the
engine coolant to check the antifreeze concentration.
Standard value: 30 − 60% (allowable
concentration range)
Recommended antifreeze: DIAQUEEN SUPER
LONG LIFE COOLANT or equivalent
CAUTION
If the concentration of the anti-freeze is below
30%, the anti-corrosion property will be
adversely affected. In addition, if the
concentration is above 60%, both the
anti-freezing and engine cooling properties will
decrease, affecting the engine adversely. For
these reasons, be sure to maintain the
concentration level within the specified range.

3. Connect the cooling fan motor drive control unit
connector, and disconnect the cooling fan motor
(L.H.) connector.
4. Ensure that the A/C switch is off, and start the
engine and run it at idle.
5. Measure the voltage between the cooling fan
motor drive control unit side connector terminal 1
and 2.
Standard value: 1V or less
WARNING
Stay clear of the fan when the fan starts
running.
6. Turn the A/C switch to the "ON" position.
7. Measure the voltage between the cooling fan
motor drive control unit side connector terminal 1
and 2 while the fan is running. The voltage should
repeat the values below.
Standard value:
1. 1 V or less
2. 8.2 ± 0.7 V
3. System voltage ± 2.6 V
8. If the voltage does not repeatedly change as
indicated, replace the cooling fan motor drive
control unit. (Refer to P.14-35).

COOLING FAN MOTOR CHECKM11410071000601. Remove the cooling fan motor connector.
2. Check to see that the cooling fan motor of the
radiator turns when applying battery power
between the connector terminal 1 and 2 of the
cooling fan motor. Also check to see that there is
no abnormal sound coming from the cooling fan
motor at this time.
3. If the cooling fan motor is defective, replace it.
