Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor -- Installation



1. INSTALL ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR


    Corolla. Zre142 Aze141.2Zr-Fe Engine Control.Sfi System.Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor  Installation
  1. Install the engine coolant temperature sensor through a new gasket.

    Torque:
    20 N*m{200 kgf*cm, 14 ft.*lbf}


    Corolla. Zre142 Aze141
  1. Connect the engine coolant temperature sensor connector.



2. INSTALL AIR CLEANER CAP SUB-ASSEMBLY
  1. Install the air cleaner cap sub-assembly with hose with the 2 clamps.



    Corolla. Zre142 Aze141
  1. Tighten the hose clamp to the specified torque.

    Torque:
    2.0 N*m{20 kgf*cm, 18 in.*lbf}


    Corolla. Zre142 Aze141
  1. Connect the ventilation hose.



    Corolla. Zre142 Aze141
  1. Connect the 2 wire harness clamps and mass air flow meter connector.



3. ADD ENGINE COOLANT
  1. Tighten the lower radiator drain cock plug.

  1. Loosen the upper radiator drain cock plug.

  1. Slowly fill the radiator with TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC).

    Standard Capacity:
    Item
    Capacity
    Engine coolant
    5.5 liters (5.8 US qts, 4.8 lmp. qts)
    HINT:
    TOYOTA vehicles are filled with TOYOTA SLLC at the factory. In order to avoid damage to the engine cooling system and other technical problems, only use TOYOTA SLLC or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology (coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology is a combination of low phosphates and organic acids).
    NOTICE:
    Never use water as a substitute for engine coolant.
  1. Squeeze the inlet and outlet radiator hoses several times by hand, and then check the level of the coolant.
    If the coolant level is low, add coolant.

  1. Tighten the upper radiator drain cock plug.

  1. Slowly pour coolant into the radiator reservoir tank until it reaches the FULL line.

  1. Install the radiator cap sub-assembly and reservoir tank cap.

  1. Start the engine and warm it up.

  1. Bleed air from the cooling system.

    NOTICE:
    1. Before starting the engine, turn the A/C switch off.
    2. Adjust the air conditioning temperature setting to MAX (HOT).
    3. Adjust the air conditioning blower setting to LO.

    1. Warm up the engine until the thermostat opens. While the thermostat is open, allow the coolant to circulate for several minutes.

      HINT:
      Thermostat opening timing can be determined by squeezing the inlet radiator hose, and sensing vibrations when the engine coolant starts to flow inside the hose.
      CAUTION:
      When squeezing the radiator hoses:
      1. Wear protective gloves.
      2. Be careful as the radiator hoses are hot.
      3. Keep your hands away from the radiator fan.
  1. Stop the engine, and wait until the engine coolant cools down.

  1. Add engine coolant to the FULL line on the radiator reservoir.



4. INSPECT FOR COOLANT LEAK
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap sub-assembly while the engine and radiator assembly are still hot. Thermal expansion will cause hot engine coolant and steam to blow out from the radiator assembly.


    Corolla. Zre142 Aze141
  1. Fill the radiator assembly with engine coolant, then attach a radiator cap tester.

  1. Pump it to 118 kPa (1.2 kgf/cm2, 17.0 psi), then check that the pressure does not drop.
    If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator assembly and water pump assembly for leakage. If there are no signs or traces of external engine coolant leakage, check the heater core, cylinder block and head.



5. INSTALL NO. 2 CYLINDER HEAD COVER


    Corolla. Zre142 Aze141
  1. Engage the 4 clips to install the No. 2 cylinder head cover.

    NOTICE:
    1. Be sure to engage the clips securely.
    2. Do not apply excessive force or do not hit the cover to engage the clips. This may cause the cover to break.
