THERMOSTAT CHECK



1.Immerse the thermostat in water, and heat the water while stirring. Check the thermostat valve opening temperature.

    Standard value:

      82 ± 1.5°C (180 ± 3°F) <2.0L ENGINE Non-turbo, 2.4L ENGINE>
      76.5 ± 1.5°C (170 ± 3°F) <2.0L ENGINE Turbo>

2.Check that the amount of valve lift is at the standard value when the water is at the full-opening temperature.
note Measure the valve height when the thermostat is fully closed, and use this measurement to compare the valve height when the thermostat is fully open.
Standard value:

    Full-opening temperature:

      95°C (203°F) <2.0L ENGINE Non-turbo, 2.4L ENGINE>
      90°C (194°F) <2.0L ENGINE Turbo>
    Amount of valve lift: 8.5 mm (0.33 inch) or more
