Inspection Procedure
HINT:
Although each DTC title says "Coolant Flow Control Valve", these DTCs are related to the water valve.
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:
- To check the coolant heat storage (CHS) system, the ECM may cause the water pump of the CHS system to operate 5 hours after the power switch has been turned OFF.
- Read freeze frame data using Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air/fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
- CHECK ECM (WBAD - E2 VOLTAGE)
- Turn the power switch ON (IG).
- Measure the voltage between the terminals WBAD and E2 of the E4 and E7 ECM connectors.
Standard voltage
VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONWater Valve Specified Condition 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.
OK: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
NG: Go to next step
- INSPECT WATER M/BRACKET VALVE ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the W5 water valve connector.
- Measure the resistance between terminals WSL1 and WSL2 of the water valve connector.
- Measure the resistance between terminals WSAD and E2 of the water valve connector.
Standard resistance
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connection Specification Condition 1 (WSL1) - 2 (WSL2) Approximately 0.04 kΩ 5 (WSAD) - 6 (E2) 0.2 to 5.7 kΩ
NG: REPLACE WATER W/BRACKET VALVE ASSEMBLY
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WATER VALVE - ECM)
- Disconnect the W5 water valve connector.
- Disconnect the E4 and E7 ECM connectors.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for open)
RESISTANCE REFERENCETester Connection Specified Condition W5-5 (Water valve) - E7-20 (WBAD) Below 1 Ω W5-4 (Water valve) - E4-18 (VC) Below 1 Ω W5-6 (Water valve) - E4-28 (E2) Below 1 Ω Standard resistance (Check for short)
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connection Specified Condition W5-5 (Water valve) or E7-20 (WBAD) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the water valve connector.
- Reconnect the ECM connectors.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: REPLACE ECM
