Diagnostic Procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

RESULTS

ACTION

1
Inspect the following:
•  Engine coolant level
•  Coolant leakage (around heater unit in passenger compartment, coolant hoses and/or radiator, and around coolant heater unit.)
•  Water and anti-freeze mixture
•  Radiator condition
•  Collapsed or restricted radiator hoses
•  Radiator pressure cap
•  Drive belt tension
•  Drive belt
•  Fan rotational direction
Are all items normal?

Is the coolant heater system normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the coolant heater system operation results.
8
Cool down engine.
Remove the thermostat and inspect the operation.
