ENGINE COOLANT LEAK CHECKM1141001000300
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 taken out, be careful not to
spill any coolant.
•Be careful when installing and removing the
tester and when testing not to deform the
filler neck of the radiator.
1. Check that the coolant level is up to the filler neck.
Install a radiator tester and apply 160 kPa
pressure, and then check for leakage from the
radiator hose or connections.
2. If there is leakage, repair or replace the
appropriate part.
RADIATOR CAP VALVE OPENING
PRESSURE CHECK
M1141001300389
NOTE: Be sure that the cap is clean before
testing. Rust or other foreign material on the cap
seal will cause an improper reading.
1. Use a cap adapter to attach the cap to the tester.2. Increase the pressure until the indicator of the
gauge stops moving.
Minimum limit: 83 kPa
Standard value: 93 − 123 kPa
3. Replace the radiator cap if the reading does not
remain at or above the limit.
ENGINE COOLANT REPLACEMENTM1141001200434
WARNING
When removing the radiator cap, use care to
avoid contact with hot coolant or steam.
Place a shop towel over the cap and turn the
cap counterclockwise a little to let the
pressure escape through the vinyl tube.
After relieving the steam pressure, remove
the cap by slowly turning it
counterclockwise.
1. Drain the water from the radiator, heater core and
engine after unplugging the radiator drain plug
and removing the radiator cap.
2. Drain the water in the water jacket by unplugging
the drain plug of the cylinder block.
3. Remove the radiator condenser tank and drain
the coolant.
4. Drain the coolant then clean the path of the
coolant by injecting water into the radiator from
the radiator cap area.

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.
COOLING FAN MOTOR DRIVE CONTROL

2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position, and
measure the voltage between terminal 1 and 3 at
the harness side connector.

that the plunger moves.
2. If the plunger does not move, there is a clogging

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION (EVAPORATIVE
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM)
M1173005100405
The evaporative emission control system prevents
fuel vapours generated in the fuel tank from escaping
into the atmosphere.
Fuel vapours from the fuel tank flow through the fuel
tank pressure control valve and vapour pipe/hose to
be stored temporarily in the canister.
When driving the vehicle, fuel vapours stored in the
canister flow through the purge solenoid and purge
port and go into the intake manifold to be sent to the
combustion chamber.
When the engine coolant temperature is low or when
the intake air quantity is small (when the engine is at
idle, for example), the engine control unit turns the
purge solenoid off to shut off the fuel vapour flow to
the intake manifold.
This does not only insure the driveability when the
engine is cold or running under low load but also
stabilize the emission level.

EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION
(EGR) SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION (EGR SYSTEM)M1173005200327
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system lowers
the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission level.
When the air/fuel mixture combustion temperature is
high, a large quantity of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is
generated in the combustion chamber.
Therefore, this system recirculates part of emission
gas from the exhaust port of the cylinder head to the
combustion chamber through the intake manifold to
decrease the air/fuel mixture combustion
temperature, resulting in reduction of NOx.The EGR flow rate is controlled by the EGR valve so
as not to decrease the driveability.
OPERATION
The EGR valve is being closed and does not
recirculate exhaust gases under one of the following
conditions.
Otherwise, the EGR valve is opened and recirculates
exhaust gases.
•The engine coolant temperature is low.
•The engine is at idle.
•The throttle valve is widely opened.
