2. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1) General Description
The cooling  system  maintains  the engine  temperature  at an efficient  level during  all engine 
operating conditions.
When the engine  is cold,  the cooling  system  cools  the engine  slowly  or not at all. This slow 
cooling  of  the engine  allows  the engine  to warm up quickly.
The cooling system includes a radiator and recovery subsystem, cooling fans, a thermostat and 
housing,  a water pump,  and a water pump  drive belt.  The timing  belt drives the water pump.
All components  must  function  properly  for  the  cooling system to operation. The water pump 
draws the coolant  from  the radiator.  The coolant  then circulates  through  water jackets  in the 
engine  block,  the intake manifold,  and the cylinder  head.  When the coolant  reaches  the operating
temperature  of  the thermostat,  the thermostat  opens.  The coolant  then goes  back  to the radiator 
where it cools.
This system directs  some coolant  through  the hoses to the heat core.  This provides  for heating 
and defrosting.
The coolant  reservoir  is connected  to the radiator  to recover  the coolant  displaced  by expansion 
from the high temperatures. The coolant reservoir maintains the correct coolant level.
The cooling  system for this vehicle has no radiator cap or filler neck. The coolant  is added to the 
cooling system through the coolant reservoir.
2) Radiator
This vehicle  has a lightweight  tube-and-fin  aluminum radiator. Plastic tanks are mounted on the 
upper and the lower sides of the radiator core.
On vehicles  equipped  with  automatic  transaxles,  the transaxle fluid  cooler  lines run through  the 
radiator tank.
A radiator  drain  plug  is  on  this  radiator.
To drain the cooling  system,  open  the drain plug.
3) Coolant Reservoir
The coolant reservoir is a transparent plastic reservoir, similar to the windshield washer reservoir.
The coolant  reservoir  is connected  to  the  radiator  by a hose and to the engine  cooling  system  by 
another hose.
As the vehicle  is driven,  the engine  coolant  heats and expands.  The portion  of  the engine  coolant 
displaced by this expansion flows from the radiator  and the engine  into  the coolant  reservoir.  The 
air trapped  in the radiator  and the engine  is degassed  into  the coolant  reservoir.
When the engine stops,  the engine coolant  cools  and contracts.  The displaced  engine coolant  is 
then drawn back  into  the radiator  and the engine.  This keeps the radiator  filled  with the coolant  to 
the desired  level at all times  and increases  the cooling  efficiency.
Maintain the coolant  level between  the MIN and MAX marks on the coolant  reservoir  when the 
system is cold.

4) Water Pump
The belt-driven  centrifugal  water pump  consists  of an impeller,  a drive shaft,  and a belt pulley.
The impeller is supported by a completely sealed bearing.
The water pump  is serviced  as an assembly  and,  therefore,  cannot  be disassembled.
5) Thermostat
A wax pellet-type  thermostat  controls  the flow  of  the engine  coolant  through  the engine  cooling 
system.  The thermostat  is mounted  in the thermostat  housing  to the front  of  the cylinder  head.
The thermostat  stops  the flow  of  the engine  coolant  from  the engine  to the radiator  to provide 
faster warm-up,  and to regulate the coolant temperature. The thermostat remains closed while the 
engine coolant is cold, preventing circulation  of the engine coolant through the radiator. At this 
point,  the engine  coolant  is allowed  to circulate  only throughout  the heater core  to warm it quickly 
and evenly.
As the engine  warms,  the thermostat  opens.  This allows  the engine  coolant  to flow  through  the 
radiator wherethe heat is dissipated.  This opening  and closing  of the thermostat  permits enough 
engine coolant  to enter the radiator to keep the engine within proper engine temperature  operating 
limits.
The wax pellet  in the thermostat  is hermetically  sealed  in a metal case.  The wax element  of  the 
thermostat  expands  when it is heated and contracts  when it is cooled.
As the vehicle is driven and the engine warms, the engine coolant  temperature  increases.  When 
the engine  coolant  reaches  a specified  temperature,  the wax pellet  element  in the thermostat 
expands and exerts pressure against the metal case, forcing  the valve open. This allows the 
engine coolant  to flow through the engine cooling  system and cool the engine.
As the wax pellet  cools,  the contraction  allows  a spring  to close  the valve.
The thermostat  begins  to  open  at 82°C(180  °F) and is fully open  at 95°C(203°F). The thermostat 
closes at 80°C (176°F).
6) Electric Cooling Fan
Keep hands, tools, and clothing away from the engine cooling fans to help prevent personal 
injury.
This fan is electric  and can turn on even when the engine  is not running. -
If a fan blade  is bent  or damaged  in any way, no attempt  should  be made to repair or reuse 
the damaged  part.  A bent  or damaged  fan assembly  should  always be replaced  with a new 
one to prevent possible  injury. -

The cooling  fans  are mounted  behind  the radiator  in the engine  compartment.  The electric  cooling 
fans  increase  the flow  of  air across  the radiator  fins  and across  the condenser  on air conditioned 
(A/C)-equipped vehicles.
This helps  to speed  cooling  when the vehicle  is at idle or moving  at low speeds.
All models  have two  fans.  The main fan  is 320 mm (12.  6 inches)  in diameter  with  seven blades  to 
aid the airflow  through  the radiator  and the condenser.  An electric  motor  attached  to the radiator 
support drives the fan.
The auxiliary fan  is 320 mm (12.6  inches)  in diameter.
A/C Off or Non-AC Model ▶
The cooling  fans  are actuated  by the engine  control  module  (ECM) using  a low-speed 
cooling fan relay, a high-speed  cooling fan relay and a cooling fan motor relay.
The ECM will turn the cooling  fans  on at low speed  when the coolant  temperature  reaches 
95°C(203°F) and at high speed  when the coolant  temperature  reaches 105°C(221°F).
The ECM will change  the cooling  fans from  high peed to low speed  at 100°C(212°F) and 
will turn the cooling  fans  off  at 90°C (194°F). -

-
A/C On ▶
The ECM will turn the cooling  fans on at low speed  when the A/C system  is on.  The ECM
will change  to high speed when the high side A/C pressure reaches 1860 kPa (269.8  psi).
The cooling  fans will return to low speed  when the high side A/C pressure reaches  1378 
kPa (199.8  psi). -

7) Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor uses a temperature to control  the signal voltage to 
the Engine Control  Module (ECM).
8) Coolant Temperature Gauge
The coolant temperature gauge controls  the instrument panel temperature indicator.  The coolant 
temperature gauge is located with ECT sensor.

temperature of PWM unit is over 
120~150°C.
Communication function when failing: The 
fail signal is transmitted  to the ECU when 
the PWM unit is malfunctioning.
Soft start function:  The motor  speed is 
gradually increased  when the motor is 
initially operated. -
