ECM Terminals and Reference Value=NJEC0487Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

On Board Diagnosis LogicNJEC0572If the cooling fan or another component in the cooling system malfunctions, engine coolant temperature will
rise.
When the engine coolant temperature reaches an abnormally high temperature condition, a malfunction is
indicated.
DTC No. Malfunction is detected when ... Check Items (Possible Cause)
P1217
1217+The engine coolant temperature is extraordinary high,
even when the load is not heavy.+Harness or connectors
(The cooling fan circuit is open or shorted)
+Cooling fan
+Thermostat
+Improper ignition timing
+Engine coolant temperature sensor
+Blocked radiator
+Blocked front end (Improper fitting of nose mask)
+Crushed vehicle frontal area (Vehicle frontal is
collided but not repaired)
+Blocked air passage by improper installation of
front fog lamp or fog lamps.
+Improper mixture ratio of coolant
+Damaged bumper
For more information, refer to ªMAIN 12 CAUSES
OF OVERHEATINGº, EC-345.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant following the procedure in the LC-17,
ªChanging Engine Coolantº. Also, replace the engine oil.
1) Fill radiator with coolant up to specified level with a filling speed of 2 liters per minute. Be sure to use
coolant with the proper mixture ratio. Refer to MA-22, ªAnti-freeze Coolant Mixture Ratioº, ªRECOM-
MENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTSº.
2) After refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow noise is emitted.
