Inspection : → Remedy

Visual inspection

Inspect for shortage of coolant in reservoir tank . →

Reinspect after replenishing coolant.

Inspect for coolant pollution after removing radiator cap. → Reinspect after replacing coolant.

Inspect for leakage and loose coolant hoses (radiator hose, heater hose, oil cooler hose, etc.).  → Reinspect for leakage after reinstalling
hoses and clamps.

Inspect for leakage on water inlet fitting mounting part. →

  • Reinspect for leakage after replacing Oring.

  • Reinspect for leakage after tightening to the specified torque.

Inspect drive belt (for normal operation of water pump). → Adjust drive belt tension or replace.

Inspect for leakage on water pump gasket mounting part. →

  • Reinspect for leakage after replacing gasket.

  • Reinspect for leakage after tightening to the specified torque.

Inspect for loose coolant temperature sensor, cooling fan connector and pin. →

  • Reinstall loose connector.

  • Replace relevant part if connector pin is damaged.

Inspect operation status of cooling fan.

  • Check operation status by switching ON/OFF the heater control A/C. → Check mounting status of ground cable.

Warning

Will not operate in cold ambient temperature.

Inspection : → Remedy

Diagnostic device

Inspect self-diagnostic code using KDS. → Check coolant temperature sensor, wiring, connector, etc.

Inspection : → Remedy

Unit inspection

Inspect water pump impeller. →Replace water pump.

Inspect for foreign materials and status of thermostat valve. → Inspect unit after removing foreign materials.

Inspect for stuck thermostat valve.

  • Immerse thermostat in water heated to over 95°C (203°F), then heat for at least 3 minutes to check valve lift. → 

    Check valve lift.

  •  Replace thermostat if valve lift is below
    specification or valve is stuck.

Warning

  • Do not use water below 95°
    C (203°F).

  • Do not directly heat unit as
    this will damage thermostat.
