NO.19 COOLING SYSTEM CONCERNS-OVERHEATING [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)]

id0103f1821700

19 | COOLING SYSTEM CONCERNS-OVERHEATING
--- | ---
DESCRIPTION | • Engine runs at higher than normal temperature/overheats.
POSSIBLE CAUSE | • Cooling fan malfunction • Low drive belt tension • Drive belt damage • Improper coolant level • Thermostat malfunction • Radiator clogging • Improper water/anti-freeze mixture • Improper or damaged radiator cap • Radiator hose damage • Coolant leakage (engine internal, turbocharger, external) • A/C system malfunction • EGR system malfunction • Coolant heater system malfunction

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? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Service if necessary. Repeat Step 1.
2 | Perform the self-test function using the WDS or equivalent. Turn the engine switch to the ON position. Retrieve any DTCs. Are any DTCs displayed? | Yes | DTC is displayed: Go to the appropriate DTC test. (See DTC TABLE [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].) Communication error message is displayed: Inspect the following: • Open circuit between PCM control relay and PCM terminal 119 or 120 • Open circuit PCM control relay and PCM terminal 105 • PCM control relay stuck open • Open or poor ground circuit (PCM terminal 1, 2, 3, 114 or 117) • Poor connection to vehicle body ground
No | No DTC is displayed: Go to the next step.
3 | Note • The following test should be performed on the vehicles with an A/C system. Go to the next step for vehicles without an A/C system Start the engine and run it at idle speed. Turn the A/C switch off. Does the A/C compressor disengage? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Go to the symptom troubleshooting "NO.26 A/C ALWAYS ON OR A/C COMPRESSOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY [MZR-CD (RF-Turbo)]".
4 | Perform the Cooling Fan Control System Operation Inspection. (See Cooling Fan Control System Inspection.) Does the cooling fan system work properly. | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to inspection result.
5 | Is the drive belt normal? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Replace the drive belt.
6 | Perform the EGR system inspection. Is the EGR system normal? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the EGR system operation results.
7 | Perform the coolant heater system inspection. (See THERMOSTAT INSPECTION [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].) 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. Is the thermostat normal? | Yes | Thermostat is normal. Inspect the cylinder block for leakage or blockage.
No | Replace thermostat.
9 | Verify test results. • If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms. (See SYMPTOM DIAGNOSTIC INDEX [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].) • If the malfunction remains, inspect the related Service Information and perform repair or diagnosis. - If the vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting completed. - If the vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, reprogram the PCM if later calibration is available. Retest.
