P1217




P1217 ENGINE OVER TEMPERATURE

DTC Logic


DTC DETECTION LOGIC

NOTE:
-If DTC P1217 is displayed with DTC UXXXX, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC UXXXX.
-If DTC P1217 is displayed with DTC P0607, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0607. Refer to "DTC Logic" P0607.
If the cooling fan or another component in the cooling system malfunctions, engine coolant temperature will rise.
When the engine coolant temperature reaches an abnormally high temperature condition, a malfunction is indicated.






CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, always replace the coolant. Refer to "Draining" Draining Engine Coolant and "Refilling" Refilling Engine Coolant. Also, replace the engine oil. Refer to "Draining" Draining and "Refilling" Refilling.
1."Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio" Fill radiator with coolant up to specified level with a filling speed of 2 liters per minute. Always use coolant with the proper mixture ratio. Refer to .
2.After refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow noise is emitted.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE


1. PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK

Perform component function check. Refer to "Component Function Check" .
NOTE:
Use component function check to check the overall function of the cooling fan. During this check, a DTC might not be confirmed.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- INSPECTION END
NO- Go to "Diagnosis Procedure" .


Component Function Check


1. PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK-I


WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around cap. Carefully remove the cap by turning it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Then turn the cap all the way off.





Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank and radiator.
Allow engine to cool before checking coolant level.
Is the coolant level in the reservoir tank and/or radiator below the proper range?
YES- Go to "Diagnosis Procedure" .
NO- GO TO 2.

2. PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK-II

Confirm whether customer filled the coolant or not.
Did customer fill the coolant?
YES- Go to "Diagnosis Procedure" .
NO- GO TO 3.

3. PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK-III

With CONSULT
1.Turn ignition switch ON.
2.Perform "FAN DUTY CONTROL" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT.
3.Make sure that cooling fan speed varies according to the percentage.
Without CONSULT
Perform IPDM E/R auto active test and check cooling fan motors operation, "Diagnosis Description".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- INSPECTION END
NO- Go to "Diagnosis Procedure" .


Diagnosis Procedure


1. CHECK COOLING FAN OPERATION

With CONSULT
1.Turn ignition switch ON.
2.Perform "FAN DUTY CONTROL" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT.
3.Make sure that cooling fan speed varies according to the percentage.
Without CONSULT
1.Perform IPDM E/R auto active test and check cooling fan motors operation, "Diagnosis Description".
2.Make sure that cooling fan operates.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 2.
NO- Go to "Diagnosis Procedure" Component Tests and General Diagnostics.

2. CHECK COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAK-I

Check cooling system for leak. Refer to "Inspection" Inspection.
Is leakage detected?
YES- GO TO 3.
NO- GO TO 4.

3. CHECK COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAK-II

Check the following for leak.
- Hose
- Radiator
- Water pump
- Repair or replace malfunctioning part.

4. CHECK RADIATOR CAP

Check radiator cap. Refer to "RADIATOR CAP : Inspection" Service and Repair.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 5.
NO- Replace radiator cap. Refer to "Exploded View" Exploded View.

5. CHECK THERMOSTAT

Check thermostat. Refer to "Inspection" Inspection.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 6.
NO- Replace thermostat. Refer to "Exploded View" Exploded View.

6. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Refer to "Component Inspection" P0117.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 7.
NO- Replace engine coolant temperature sensor. Refer to "Exploded View" Exploded View.

7. CHECK MAIN 12 CAUSES

If the cause cannot be isolated, check the following.
