5. Connect the special tool (MB991658) to the harness side
of the engine coolant temperature sensor connector.
6. Connect the special tool [MB991791(APS)] to the special
tool (MB991658).
7. Start the engine and let it run at idle.
NOTE
Since the resistance value of the special tool (APS)
indicates a low engine coolant temperature, engine speed
increases.
8. When the lever of the special tool (APS) is turned to
the end, check that the engine speed decreases and
the radiator fan motor rotates.
9. When the lever of the special tool (APS) is turned to
the reverse direction, check that the voltage between
terminals of the radiator fan motor connector gradually
decreases from the battery voltage to 0 V.
10. If inoperable, replace the radiator fan controller.
(Refer to P.14-15.)
11. Install the center under cover.
(Refer to GROUP 51 - Front Bumper.)
12. Connect the engine coolant temperature sensor
connector.

1. Remove the center under cover.
(Refer to GROUP 51 - Front Bumper.)
2. Insert the special tool at the back of the radiator fan
motor connector.
3. Connect the special tool to the circuit tester.
4. Start the engine and run it at idle.
5. Turn the A/C switch to the ON position and hold the
engine coolant temperature at 80_C or lower.
6. When the voltage between the terminals of the radiator
fan motor connector, the following values of (1) - (3)
can be detected at random.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
"AATHERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
Install the thermostat being careful not to fold over or scratch
the rubber ring.
Caution
Make absolutely sure that no oil is adhering to the rubber
ring of the thermostat. In addition, be careful not to fold
over or scratch the rubber ring when inserting. If the
rubber ring is damage, replace the thermostat.
"BARADIATOR UPPER HOSE CONNECTION
1. Insert each hose as far as the projection of the water
outlet fitting.
2. Align the mating marks on the radiator hose and hose
clamp, and then connect the radiator hose.
INSPECTION
THERMOSTAT CHECK
1. Immerse the thermostat in water, and heat the water while
stirring. Check the thermostat valve opening temperature.
Standard value:
Valve opening temperature: 80±1.5_C
2. Check that the amount of valve lift is at the standard value
when the water is at the full-opening temperature.
Standard value:
Full-opening temperature: 93_C
Amount of valve lift: 9.5 mm or more
NOTE
Measure the valve height when the thermostat is fully
closed, and use this measurement to calculate the valve
height when the thermostat is fully open.

TURBOCHARGER SUPERCHARGING
PRESSURE CHECK
Caution
Two persons should be in the vehicle when the test is
conducted; the person in the passenger seat should read
the indications shown by the pressure meter.
1. Disconnect the hose (black) from the turbocharger waste
gate solenoid valve, and connect the pressure gauge
to the hose. Plug the nipple of the solenoid valve from
which the hose (black) has been disconnected.
2. Drive at full-throttle acceleration in second gear and then
measure the supercharging pressure when the engine
speed in about 3,000 r/min.
Standard value: 59 – 84 kPa
3. If the supercharging pressure deviates from the standard
value, check the following items for possible cause.

"AAFUEL HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE CONNECTION
1. Apply a drop of new engine oil to the O-ring.
Caution
Be sure not to let engine oil enter the delivery pipe.
2. While turning the injector, high-pressure fuel hose and
fuel pressure regulator to the right and left, install the
delivery pipe, while being careful not to damage the O-ring.
After installing, check that the hose turns smoothly.
3. If it does not turn smoothly, the O-ring may be trapped,
remove the injector, high-pressure fuel hose or fuel
pressure regulator and then re-insert it into the delivery
pipe and check once again.
4. Tighten the high-pressure fuel hose to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 5.0±1.0 N⋅m
INSPECTION
Check the following points; replace the part if a problem is
found.
INTAKE MANIFOLD CHECK
1. Check for damage or cracking of any part.
2. Check for obstruction of the negative pressure (vacuum)
outlet port, and for obstruction of the water passage or
gas passage.
