Inspection Procedure

CAUTION: Be careful when replacing any part in the system or changing the coolant because the coolant in the heat storage tank is hot even if the engine is cold.

HINT:

  1. INSPECT ECM (WBAD - E2 VOLTAGE) 
    1. Turn the power switch ON (IG).
    2. Measure voltage between the terminals WBAD and E2 of the E4 and E7 ECM connectors.

      Standard: 

      VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONS

      Water Valve Voltage V
      Valve position "A" (Preheat mode) Approximately 2.5 V
      Valve position "B" (Recovering mode) Approximately 3.5 V
      Valve position "C" (Normal Operation) Approximately 4.5 V

    HINT:

    After the HV main system is turned OFF (READY to IG OFF condition), the valve position will be set to position A.

    1. OK: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS (See  CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS   ) 
    2. NG: GO TO NEXT STEP 
  2. INSPECT WATER W/BRACKET VALVE ASSY 
    1. Disconnect the W5 water valve connector.
    2. Measure resistance between terminals WSL 1 and WSL2 of the water valve connector.
    3. Measure resistance between terminals WSAD and E2 of the water valve connector.

      RESISTANCE: 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS

      Terminals Condition Resistance kΩ
      1 - 2 Motor resistance Approximately 0.04
      5 - 6 Sensor resistance 0.2 to 5.7
    1. NG: REPLACE WATER W/BRACKET VALVE ASSY 
    2. OK: GO TO NEXT STEP

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WATER VALVE - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the W5 water valve connector.
    2. Disconnect the E4 and E7 ECM connectors.
    3. Check the resistance between the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard (Check for open): 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION DESCRIPTION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      Water valve (W5-5) - WBAD (E7-20) Below 1Ω
      Water valve (W5-4) - VC (E4-18) Below 1Ω
      Water valve (W5-6) - E2 (E4-28) Below 1Ω

      Standard (Check for short): 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION DESCRIPTION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      Water valve (W5-5) or WBAD (E7-20) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
    4. Reconnect the water valve connector.
    5. Reconnect the ECM connectors.
    1. NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 
    2. OK: GO TO NEXT STEP 

      REPLACE ECM (See  ECM (1NZ-FXE)  )
