Cooling Fan 33 illustrations ~2452 words

DESCRIPTION

The ECM calculates an appropriate cooling fan speed based on the engine coolant temperature, air conditioning switch condition, refrigerant pressure, engine speed, and vehicle speed and sends the signals to the cooling fan ECU to regulate the cooling fan. The cooling fan ECU controls the cooling fan speed based on the duty ratio signal sent from the ECM. By basing its control on the operating conditions, the ECM can control the fan speed optimally using the cooling fan ECU, achieving both high cooling performance and quietness. The cooling fan speed is determined based on the engine coolant temperature, air conditioner operating conditions, engine speed, and vehicle speed.

  1. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT Loosen the lower radiator drain cock plug. CAUTION: Do not loosen the lower radiator drain cock plug while the engine and radiator are still hot. Pressurized, hot engine coolant and steam may be released and cause serious burns. HINT: Collect the coolant in a container and dispose of it according to the regulations in your area. Remove the radiator cap. Loosen the cylinder block drain cock plug. HINT: The plug is on the backside of the generator on the exhaust manifold side.
  2. ADD ENGINE COOLANT Tighten the lower radiator drain cock plug. Tighten the cylinder block drain cock plug. Torque: 13 N*m (130 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf) Loosen the upper radiator drain cock plug. Slowly fill the radiator with TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC). Standard Capacity ENGINE COOLANT CAPACITY SPECIFICATION Item Capacity Engine coolant 5.5 liters (5.8 US qts, 4.8 lmp. qts) HINT: TOYOTA vehicles are filled with TOYOTA SLLC at the factory. In order to avoid damage to the engine cooling system and other technical problems, only use TOYOTA SLLC or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology (coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology consists of a combination of low phosphates and organic acids). Contact your TOYOTA dealer for further details. NOTE: Never use water as a substitute for engine coolant. Squeeze the inlet and outlet radiator hoses several times by hand, and then check the level of the coolant. If the coolant level is low, add coolant. Tighten the upper radiator drain cock plug. Slowly pour coolant into the radiator reservoir tank until it reaches the FULL line. Install the radiator cap sub-assembly and reservoir tank cap. Start the engine and warm it up. Bleed air from the cooling system. NOTE: Before starting the engine, turn the A/C switch off. Adjust the air conditioning temperature setting to MAX (HOT). Adjust the air conditioning blower setting to LO. Warm up the engine until the thermostat opens. While the thermostat is open, allow the coolant to circulate for several minutes. HINT: Thermostat opening timing can be determined by squeezing the inlet radiator hose, and sensing vibrations when the engine coolant starts to flow inside the hose. CAUTION: When squeezing the radiator hoses: Wear protective gloves. Be careful as the radiator hoses are hot. Keep your hands away from the radiator fan. Stop the engine, and wait until the engine coolant cools down. Add engine coolant to the FULL line on the radiator reservoir.
