Removal and installation
Removal
1. Remove the battery. See chapter «Electrical equipment».
2. Disconnect the electrical wiring connectors in the engine compartment on the TCM and ECM side and move the electrical wiring to the side.
3. Remove the battery shelf.
4. Remove the air duct and air cleaner housing assembly. See chapter «Mechanical part of the engine».
5. Drain the engine coolant. See above.
Attention. Perform this operation when the engine is cold.
6. Disconnect the lower radiator hose from the inlet side. See above.
7. Disconnect the water hose from the inlet side (on models with CVT).
8. Remove the inlet pipe and thermostat.
9. Remove the water distribution valve as follows:
A. Disconnect the upper radiator hose from the water control valve housing side (exhaust pipe).
b. Disconnect the connector from the engine coolant temperature sensor.
With. Remove the CVT fluid dipstick and CVT fluid filler pipe. See chapter «Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission (CVT)».
d. Disconnect the water hoses.
f. Disconnect the connectors from the heated oxygen sensors and remove the wiring clamps from the heater tube.
f. Disconnect the heater pipe and hose.
g. After removing the water distribution valve body (exhaust pipe) remove the water distribution valve.
Installation
Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following.
Thermostat and water distribution valve
- Install the thermostat and water distribution valve so that their flanged parts are securely fastened around the entire perimeter inside the rubber ring. (The figure shows an example of a thermostat).
Note. When installing a water distribution valve, the same procedure is followed.
- Install the thermostat with the bypass valve facing up. (The position deviation can be about±20°as shown in the figure).
- Install the water distribution valve with the arrow and the center of the body facing upward. (The position deviation can be about±20°as shown in the figure).
Installing the heater pipe
- First, apply neutral detergent to the O-ring, then quickly insert the tube into the cylinder block.
Check after removal
- Tie a thread (A) so that it is secured to the working parts of the thermostat (1) and water distribution valve. Immerse them completely in the container (IN) with water. Heat by shaking (The figure shows a thermostat as an example).
- The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the valve opens and falls off the string.
- Continue heating. Check the lift height when fully opened.
Note. The standard temperature of the lift height when the water distribution valve is fully opened is a reference value.
- After checking the lift height when fully opened, reduce the water temperature and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard
Thermostat. See paragraph below. «Technical data and specifications».
Water distribution valve. See paragraph below. «Technical data and specifications».
- If the measured values are abnormal, replace the thermostat or water distribution valve, or both.
Check after installation
- Check for coolant leaks by applying pressure using an adapter (suitable special tools) and pump (suitable special tools). See above.
- Start the engine and warm it up. Carry out a visual inspection to ensure there are no coolant leaks.
