INSPECTION
 
  • Be careful not to let your hands or other objects get caught in the rotating parts.

  • Since some of the power supply circuits are shared with other system, check such system other than the radiator fan system for faulty conditions before proceeding any further.

  • Since more than one faulty conditions may occur simultaneously, once work is done perform “Basic Inspection of Radiator Fan System” to confirm that the system is working properly.

  • Since battery discharge may occur, charge the battery as necessary. STARTING/CHARGING SYSTEMS(H4DO)>Battery>CHARGE

  • Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance. ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)(H4DO)>General Description>PREPARATION TOOL > HOW TO USE CHECK BOARD

Operating condition:

Radiator fan operates depending on the radiator fan operation mode related to engine coolant temperature or the radiator fan operation mode related to A/C compressor load, whichever is higher as an operation mode.

1. BASIC INSPECTION OF RADIATOR FAN SYSTEM
1. CHECK DTC.

Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor. COMMON(diag)>Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)>OPERATION

Is DTC detected?

(1) Repair the corresponding system.

2. RADIATOR FAN SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK.
 

If the radiator fans are always running, go to “INSPECTION WHEN RADIATOR FANS DO NOT STOP”. COOLING(H4DO)>Radiator Fan System>INSPECTION > INSPECTION WHEN RADIATOR FANS DO NOT STOP

1.

Using the Subaru Select Monitor, perform the active test for the radiator fan relay. (When using the Subaru Select Monitor) ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)(H4DO)>Active Test

2.

Install the delivery mode fuse, and turn to IG ON. (When not using the Subaru Select Monitor) PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION>PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION (PDI) PROCEDURE > DELIVERY MODE

3.

Check the radiator fan operation.

Do the radiator main fan and sub fan rotate in the order of “OFF → Low speed revolution → High speed revolution”?

System is normal.

Restore the vehicle to its original state.

Inspect corresponding malfunction using “Table for Diagnostics Procedure with Phenomenon”.

COOLING(H4DO) > Engine Coolant 
INSPECTION
 
  • The engine coolant is pressurized when it is hot. Wait until engine coolant cools down before proceeding the work.

  • If the engine coolant is spilt over the engine, exhaust pipe or the under cover, completely wipe it off to avoid emission of smoke or causing a fire.

Engine coolant:

Refer to “RECOMMENDED MATERIALS” for engine coolant. RECOMMENDED MATERIALS>GREASE>ENGINE COOLANT

Engine coolant concentration:

Refer to “ADJUSTMENT” for the recommended engine coolant concentration. COOLING(H4DO)>Engine Coolant>ADJUSTMENT

 

The SUBARU Super Coolant contains anti-freeze and anti-rust agents, and is especially made for Subaru engines with an aluminum cylinder block. Be sure to use SUBARU Super Coolant, since other coolant may cause corrosion.

1.

Park the vehicle on a level surface.

2.

Check the engine coolant amount, and add the engine coolant if the coolant level is low.

 

If it is necessary to add the coolant, make sure that there are no engine coolant leaks.

(1)

Make sure the engine coolant level in the reservoir tank is between “FULL” and “LOW” with the engine in a cold condition.

(2)

Open the radiator cap and make sure that the radiator is filled with the engine coolant up to its filler neck position.

5.

After draining the engine coolant, remove the radiator drain plug.

6.

Install the radiator drain plug with a new O-ring.

7.

Remove the hose.

9.

Drain the coolant from reservoir tank.

2. FILLING OF ENGINE COOLANT
 
  • During work, set the select lever to “P” or “N” range and do not shift the lever.

  • If the engine coolant is spilt over the engine, exhaust pipe or the under cover, completely wipe it off to avoid emission of smoke or causing a fire.

ADJUSTMENT
1. PROCEDURE TO ADJUST THE SUBARU SUPER COOLANT CONCENTRATION
 

Use the SUBARU Super Coolant with a 50 — 60% concentration in order to obtain maximum anti-freeze and anti-rust performance.

Engine coolant and diluting water:

Refer to “RECOMMENDED MATERIALS” for the engine coolant and diluting water. RECOMMENDED MATERIALS>GREASE>ENGINE COOLANT

To adjust the concentration of SUBARU Super Coolant according to temperature, find the proper SUBARU Super Coolant concentration in the table, and add dilution water to the SUBARU Super Coolant (concentrated type) until it reaches the proper dilution.

  • The engine coolant is pressurized when it is hot. Wait until engine coolant cools down before proceeding the work.

  • If the engine coolant is spilt over the engine, exhaust pipe or the under cover, completely wipe it off to avoid emission of smoke or causing a fire.

(2)

Attach radiator cap tester.

(3)

Increase pressure until the radiator cap tester gauge needle stops. Radiator cap is functioning properly if it holds the service limit pressure for 5 — 6 seconds. Replace the radiator cap if its valve opens at less than the service limit.

 

Be sure to remove foreign matter and rust from the cap in advance. Otherwise, results of pressure test will be incorrect.

Specification:

93 — 123 kPa (0.951.25 kg/cm2, 14 — 18 psi)

Service limit:

83 kPa (0.85 kg/cm2, 12 psi)
