6) Cooling Fan Control

(1) Overview of Cooling Fan and A/C Compressor

The cooling system maintains the engine temperature at an efficient level during all engine operating 

conditions. The water pump draws the coolant from the radiator. The coolant then circulates through 

water jackets in the engine block, the intake manifold, and the cylinder head. When the coolant reaches 

the operating temperature of the thermostat, the thermostat opens. The coolant then goes back to the 

radiator where it cools. The heat from automatic transaxle is also cooled down through the radiator by 

circulating the oil through the oil pump. There are two cooling fans (180W+120W) in G20DF engine. ECU 

controls the electric cooling fans with three cooling fan relays to improve the engine torque and air 

conditioning performance.

7) Immobilizer Control

(1) Overview

The Immobilizer System provides an additional theft deterrent to the vehicle in which it is installed and 

prevents it from being started by unauthorized persons. The transponder integrated in the key and the 

engine control unit have the same code. When the ignition key with the integrated transponder is turned 

to the ON position, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) checks the crypto code of the key and, if correct, 

allows the vehicle to start the engine.

For details, refer to Chapter "BCM".
