Engine Overheat Troubleshooting
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.
Warning
Be careful when removing radiator cap from overheated vehicle.
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.
