2) Leak Test
Release the pressure in the system by
loosening the pressure cap of the coolant
reservoir slightly. Then, remove the pressure
cap completely. 1.
Never open the cap until the coolant
prevent any burn.
Add the coolant so that the coolant level is
between MAX and MIN mark on the coolant
auxiliary tank.
Connect the tester to the tank filler and apply
pressure (1.4 bar).
Check all the coolant hoses, pipes and
connections for leaks when the pressure of
the tester drops, and replace or tighten, if
necessary. 2.

3) Thermostat
Immerse the thermostat into the water. Heat the
water and check the valve opening temperature.

3. CAUTIONS
If 100% of anti-freeze is added, the water pump vane can be damaged and thermal conductivity
can be decreased resulting in poor circulation in the cooling system which leads to overheated
engine.
Use of non-recommended coolant could cause damage to the cooling system and overheating of
the engine.
Opening the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot can cause burns by hot steam
or water.
To open the coolant reservoir cap, wrap the cap with a wet towel or thick cloth after the engine is
cooled down sufficiently.
If cool water is added to the heated engine, the engine or radiator can be deformed.
The anti-freeze in the coolant can damage the painted surface, so avoid the contact of the coolant
to the painted body.
The anti-freeze and water should be mixed in proper mixture ratio. Never add only water when
adding coolant.
If the anti-freeze content is too low, the coolant can be frozen while the engine can be overheated if
anti-freeze content is too high. -

Water pump
The water pump is driven by the engine drive belt and supplies
the coolant to each area of the engine.
Coolant reservoir
Long life coolant is used.
Thermostat
When the engine coolant
starts to open (fully open at
flow to the radiator to maintain
the engine temperature.
1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1) Overview
Water pump
Impeller vane Sealing
Oil filter module

1520-00
Electric fan
Circulates the fresh air forcibly to exchange heat
with the radiator core fin.
Radiator
Releases heat through fins and cools down the hot
coolant as the coolant passes through the tube of the
radiator core.
Coolant temperature sensor
Measures the coolant
temperature and sends the
result to the engine ECU.

Disconnect the cable connected to the B
terminal on the alternator. Connect one end
of the ammeter to the B terminal and the
other end to the cable connected to the B
terminal.
Measure the maximum output value.
(Maintain the engine speed between 2,500
and 3,000 rpm.)
(Turn the headlamp and all the electrical
switches on.) 1.
2.Pass: If the measured current is 45
A or higher.
Fail: If the measured current is less
than 45 A.
Check the current of the B terminal. -

Move the gear selector lever to the neutral
position.
Maintain the engine speed at 2,500 rpm
with the vehicle unloaded.
(Turn all the electrical switches off.) 1.
2.Open circuit: If the measured
current is 5 A or higher. -
Disconnect the negative cable from the
battery.
Remove the B terminal and turn off the
ignition switch.

3) Checking Battery

1451-01
(1) Checking
Using battery tester
PASS (11.0 V or more): Explain to the customer that the battery is reusable.
Need to be charged (9.0 to 11.0 V): Charge the battery with a charger and reinstall it. Explain it to the
customer.
Need to be replaced (9.0 V or more): The battery should be replaced due to overdischarging. -
-
-
(2) How to use battery tester
How it works and How to use it
Determine battery capacity by fixing current
(load capacity) and time and varying voltage.
Determine battery capacity based on the
amount of voltage drop when discharging a
fixed load capacity (120 A) for 5 seconds.
Connect the tester to the battery and read the
display while applying a load for 5 seconds. -

(3) Starting with jumper cable
If the battery is weak or terminated, the battery from another vehicle can be used with jumper cables to
start the engine.
Connecting order
The positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery
The positive (+) terminal of the booster battery
The negative (-) terminal of the booster battery
Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the body of the discharged vehicle, such as the engine
block or a front towing hook. 1.

Starting
Prepare a set of jumper cables.
Place another vehicle that has the same 12 V of power near to the discharged vehicle.
Switch off all electrical accessories for the discharged vehicle.
Apply the parking brake and shift the transaxle to the P position (automatic transaxle) or neutral (N)
position (manual transaxle).
Connect the jumper cables.
Try to start the discharged vehicle while accelerating the engine rpm in the booster vehicle.
Attempt to start the engine with the discharged battery.
After starting the engine, carefully disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse sequence of
connection. 1.
