OUTLINE
The cooling system uses a pressurized forced-circulation system with an open air type reservoir tank.
A thermostat with a bypass valve is located in the water inlet housing to maintain suitable temperature distribution in the cooling system.
A water pump swirl chamber and a thermostat housing have been placed in the timing chain cover to achieve a simpler construction and a compact engine.
A 3-stage temperature-controlled fluid coupling fan controls the fan speed in 3 stages to improve cooling performance and reduce cooling fan noise.
Toyota Genuine Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC) is used.
A water-cooled type engine oil cooler is used on specified models.
