EBS00QRT
If the cooling fan or another component in the cooling system malfunctions, engine coolant temperature will
rise. When the engine coolant temperature reaches an abnormally high temperature condition, a malfunction
is indicated.
This self-diagnosis has the one trip detection logic.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant. Refer to “Changing Engine Coolant”,
LC-18. Also, replace the engine oil. Refer to “Changing Engine Oil”, LC-8.
