GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE COOLING14-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M1141000100371
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 circu
-
lation type in which the water pump pressurizes cool-
ant and circulates it throughout the engine. If the
coolant temperature exceeds the prescribed temper
-
ature, 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 alternator drive belt from the crank
-
shaft. The radiator is the corrugated fin, down flow
type.

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 mois-
ture 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 leve l 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.

NOTE: Be sure that the cap is clean before test-
ing. Rust or other foreign material on the cap seal
will cause an improper reading.
AC211643AB
Cap adapter
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.

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 pres
-
sure escape through the vinyl tube. After
relieving the steam pres sure, 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.

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 MEASUREMENT
M1141001100352
Measure the temperature and specific gravity of the
engine coolant to check the antifreeze concentration.
Standard value: 30 − 60% (allowable concentra-
tion 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 concentra
-
tion 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.

IGNITION SECONDARY VOLTAGE
WAVEFORM CHECK USING AN
OSCILLOSCOPE
M1163001700170
MEASUREMENT METHOD
1. Clamp the secondary pickup around the spark
plug cable.
NOTE: .
•The peak ignition voltage will be reversed
when the spark plug cables No. 2 and No. 4,
or No. 1 and No. 3 cylinders are clamped.
•Because of the two-cylinder simultaneous igni-
tion system, the waveforms for two cylinders in
each group appear during waveform observa
-
tion (No. 1 cylinder - No. 4 cylinder, No. 2 cyl-
inder - No. 3 cylinder). However, waveform
observation is only applicable for the cylinder
with the spark plug cable clamped by the sec
-
ondary pickup.
•Identifying which cylinder waveform is dis-
played can be difficult. For reference, remem-
ber that the waveform of the cylinder attached
to the secondary pickup will be displayed as
stable.
2. Clamp the spark plug cable with the trigger pickup.
NOTE: Clamp the trigger pickup to the same
spark plug cable clamped by the secondary
pickup.

EMISSION CONTROL

VACUUM HOSE INSTALLATION

1. When connecting the vacuum hoses, they should
be securely inserted onto the nipples.
2. Connect the hoses correctly, using the vacuum hose piping diagram as a guide.
CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORM ATION (CRANKCASE
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM)
M1173005000237
The crankcase emission control system prevents
blow-by gases from escaping inside the crankcase
into the atmosphere.
Fresh air is sent from the air cleaner into the crank-
case through the breather hose.
The air becomes mixed wi th the blow-by gases
inside the crankcase.
The blow-by gas inside the crankcase is drawn into
the intake manifold through the positive crankcase
ventilation (PCV) valve.
The PCV valve lifts the plunger according to the
intake manifold vacuum so as to regulate the flow of
blow-by gas properly.
In other words, the blow-by gas flow is regulated dur-
ing low load engine operation to maintain engine sta-
bility, while the flow is increased during high load
operation to improve the ventilation performance.
