DESCRIPTION
•  The engine coolant temperature is abnormally high.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  PCM DTC is stored.
•  Erratic signal to PCM
―  ECT sensor or related circuit malfunction
•  A/C relay malfunction
•  Fan control module No.1 malfunction
•  Fan control module No.2 malfunction
•  Cooling system malfunction
―  Cooling fan motor malfunction
―  Coolant control valve malfunction
―  Engine coolant passage (including engine radiator) malfunction (clogging, leakage)
―  Active air shutter malfunction (with active air shutter)


Diagnostic Procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

RESULTS

ACTION

1
VERIFY PCM DTC
•  Retrieve PCM DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Go to the next step.
2
VERIFY CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL STATUS
Caution
•  While performing this step, always operate the vehicle in a safe and lawful manner.
•  When the M-MDS is used to observe monitor system status while driving, be sure to have another technician with you, or record the data in the M-MDS using the PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD capturing function and inspect later.
•  Access the following PID using the M-MDS:
―  ECT
•  Does the PID indicate the correct value under the trouble condition?
Yes
Inspect the related sensor and circuit.
•  If there is any malfunction:
―  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results, then go to Step 12.
•  If there is no malfunction:
―  Go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
3
INSPECT A/C RELAY
•  Switch the ignition off.
•  Remove the A/C relay.
•  Inspect the A/C relay.
•  Is the A/C relay normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the A/C relay, then go to Step 12.
4
INSPECT FAN CONTROL MODULE NO.1
•  Inspect the fan control module No.1.
•  Is the fan control module No.1 normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the fan control module No.1, then go to Step 12.
5
INSPECT FAN CONTROL MODULE NO.2
•  Inspect the fan control module No.2.
•  Is the fan control module No.2 normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the fan control module No.2, then go to Step 12.
6
INSPECT COOLING FAN MOTOR NO.1
•  Inspect the cooling fan motor No.1.
•  Is the cooling fan motor No.1 normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the cooling fan motor No.1, then go to Step 12.
7
INSPECT COOLING FAN MOTOR NO.2
•  Inspect the cooling fan motor No.2.
•  Is the cooling fan motor No.2 normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the cooling fan motor No.2, then go to Step 12.
8
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS COOLANT CONTROL VALVE OR OTHER
•  Verify the engine radiator hose tension.
Warning
•  To prevent burns, use a cloth with your hand to verify the tension of the engine radiator hose.
•  After the engine warms up, does the engine coolant circulate to the engine radiator hose?
Yes
Go to Step 10.
No
Go to the next step.
9
INSPECT COOLANT CONTROL VALVE
•  Inspect the coolant control valve.
•  Is the coolant control valve normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the coolant control valve, then go to Step 12.
10
INSPECT SEALING OF ENGINE
•  Verify that there is no engine coolant leakage.
•  Is the sealing of engine normal?
Yes
Inspect for clogging in the engine coolant passage.
•  If there is any malfunction:
―  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results, then go to Step 12.
•  If there is no malfunction:
―  Go to the next step. (with active air shutter)
―  Go to Step 12. (without active air shutter)
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results, then go to Step 12.
11
INSPECT ACTIVE AIR SHUTTER FOR OPERATION MALFUNCTION
•  Inspect the active air shutter.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the active air shutter, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
12
Verify the test results.
•  If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
•  If a malfunction remains, inspect the related Service Information and perform the repair or diagnosis.
―  If the vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting is completed.
―  If the vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, replace the PCM.
