Inspection Procedure

  1. CHECK COOLING SYSTEM

    1. Check engine coolant level and check for leakage. Refer to INSPECTION .
    2. Check radiator cap. Refer to INSPECTION .
    3. Check water flow sounds of engine coolant. Refer to REFILLING .

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 2. 

    NO 

    Refill the engine coolant and repair or replace the parts according to the inspection results.

  2. CHECK SETTING OF TEMPERATURE SETTING TRIMMER

    1. Check the setting of temperature setting trimmer. Refer to TEMPERATURE SETTING TRIMMER (WITHOUT ACCS) or TEMPERATURE SETTING TRIMMER (WITH ACCS).
    2. Check that the temperature setting trimmer is set to " - direction".
      NOTE:
