Coolant Outlet: Service and Repair

Water Outlet Replacement
Removal
1. Write down the frequencies for the radio's preset buttons.
2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery first, then disconnect the positive cable.
3. Drain the engine coolant.





4. Remove the engine cover.





5. Remove the breather pipe (A) and brake booster vacuum hose bracket (B) from the air cleaner housing, then remove the air cleaner housing/ intake air duct assembly (C).





6. Disconnect the camshaft position (CMP) sensor A (top dead center (TDC) sensor 1) connector (A), CMP sensor B (TDC sensor 2) connector (B), engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor connector (C), and intake air temperature (IAT) sensor connector (D), and evaporative emission (EVAP) purge control solenoid valve connector (E). Remove the harness clamp (F) and water bypass hose (G).





7. Remove the ground cable (A), manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor bracket (B) and harness holder mounting bolts (C).





8. Remove the heater hoses.
9. Remove the throttle body.





10. Remove the connecting pipes (A) and upper radiator hose (B).
11. Remove the CMP sensor A (TDC sensor 1) and the CMP sensor B (TDC sensor 2).





12. Remove the water outlet.

Installation
13. Clean and dry the cylinder head mating surfaces.





14. Apply liquid gasket, part No. 08718-0009, to the cylinder head mating surface of the water outlet.

NOTE: Apply a 1 mm - 2.5 mm wide bead of liquid gasket.





15. Install the water rattle
16. Install the CMP sensor A (TDC sensor 1) and the CMP sensor B (TDC sensor 2).





17. Install the upper radiator hose (A) and connecting pipes (B) using new O-rings (C).
18. Install the throttle body.





19. Install the heater hoses.





20. Install the harness holder mounting bolts (A), MAP sensor bracket mounting bolt (B), and ground cable (C).





21. Connect the CMP sensor A (TDC sensor 1) connector (A), CMP sensor B (TDC sensor 2) connector (B), ECT sensor connector (C), IAT sensor connector (D), and EVAP purge control solenoid valve connector (E). Install the harness clamp (F) and water bypass hose (G).





22. Install the air cleaner housing/intake air duct assembly (A), then-install the brake booster vacuum hose bracket (B) and breather pipe (C).





23. Install the engine cover.
24. Refill the radiator with engine coolant, and bleed air from the cooling system with the heater valve open.
25. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,500 rpm with no load for 10 minutes.
26. The IMA Battery Level indicator should read full.
27. Perform the engine control module (ECM) idle learn procedure.
28. Enter the customer's radio station presets.
29. Set the clock.
