Action |
---|---|---|---|
1
|
INSPECT VEHICLE CONDITION FOR EFFECT ON MALFUNCTION
• Verify how the customer drives the vehicle by asking the customer the following:
• Is the engine generating excessive heat when driven?
|
Yes
|
Explain to the customer that the vehicle is normal and give them advice how to use vehicle and provide a specific example of the conditions in which the engine overheats.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
2
|

|
Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
3
|
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS A/C SYSTEM OR OTHER

• Turn the A/C switch off.
• Does the A/C compressor disengaged?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Perform the symptom troubleshooting “A/C IS ALWAYS ON OR A/C COMPRESSOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY”.
|

Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
|
||
6
|
INSPECT ECT SENSOR No.2 SIGNAL
• Access the ECT2 PID using the M-MDS. (See PID/DATA MONITOR INSPECTION.)
• Compare the ECT2 PID and high engine coolant temperature warning indication operation.
• Is the ECT2 PID value same as warning indication readings
|
Yes
|
Go to Step 8.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
7
|

• If there is no malfunction:
|
No
|
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
|
||
8
|
INSPECT COOLANT CONTROL VALVE FOR MALFUNCTION
• Inspect the applicable part. (See COOLANT CONTROL VALVE INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].) (See COOLANT CONTROL VALVE INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITHOUT CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].)
• Is the part normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
|
||
9
|
INSPECT COOLING FAN CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION
• Perform the Cooling Fan Control System Inspection. (See COOLING FAN MOTOR INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].) (See COOLING FAN MOTOR INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITHOUT CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].)
• Does the cooling fan control system operate properly?
|
Yes
|
Vehicles with active air shutter:
• Go to the next step.
Vehicles without active air shutter:
• Go to Step 11.
|
No
|
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
|
||
10
|
INSPECT ACTIVE AIR SHUTTER FOR MALFUNCTION
• Inspect the applicable part. (See ACTIVE AIR SHUTTER INSPECTION.)
• Is the part normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
|
||
11
|
