EAS1SM1300REMOVING THE OIL SEAL
TIP
• Remove the oil seal when the coolant level
changes frequently more than usual, coolant
has discolored, or engine oil has become
milky.
• Do not use the removed oil seal.
1. Remove:
• Oil seals “1”
EAS1SM1301CHECKING THE WATER PUMP
1. Check:
• Water pump housing cover
• Impeller shaft
Cracks/damage/wear  Replace.
EAS1SM1302CHECKING THE BEARING
1. Check:
• Bearing
Rotate the inner race with your finger.
Rough spot/seizure  Replace.
EAS1SM1303INSTALLING THE OIL SEAL
1. Install:
• Oil seals “1”
TIP
• Apply the lithium soap base grease on the oil
seal lip.
• Install the oil seal with its manufacture’s
marks or numbers facing the right crankcase
cover “2”.2. Install:
• Bearing “1”
TIP
Install the bearing by pressing its outer race
parallel.
EAS1SM1304ASSEMBLING THE WATER PUMP
1. Install:
• Impeller shaft assembly “1”
• Washer “2”
•Pin “3”
• Gear “4”
• Collar “5”
• Circlip “6”
TIP
• Take care so that the oil seal lip is not dam-
aged or the spring does not slip off its posi-
tion.
• When installing the impeller shaft, apply the
engine oil to the oil seal lip, the bearing, and
the impeller shaft.

Or-
derProbable cause of malfunc-
tion and checkMaintenance job Reinstatement method
1 Connection of coolant tem-
perature sensor coupler.
Check the locking condition
of the coupler.
Disconnect the coupler, and
check the pins (for bent or
broken terminals and locking
condition of the pins).Improperly connected 
Connect the coupler secure-
ly, or repair/replace the wire
harness.Turn “ON” the switch on the
FI diagnostic tool sub-lead.
Fault code No. is not dis-
played  Repair is finished.
Fault code No. is displayed 
Go to next order.
2 Connection of wire harness
