Coolant Pump 7 Thermostat Thermo Top EVO Heater Connections Refer to Fig. 11, the contact surfaces of the O-rings in the heat exchanger must be clean. Apply a suit- able lubricant to the O-rings prior to installation in the heat exchanger.
7 | Coolant System The heater should preferably be integrated into the NOTE coolant system close to the inlet of the vehicle heat IMPORTANT exchanger. The heater comes pre-assembled; however, Connect the heater to the vehicle coolant system as if direction of the water inlet or outlet shown in Coolant System on page 15.
7 | Coolant System Inspecting the Coolant Circulation Pump Installation System After the heater and all coolant-carrying compon- ents have been installed, the entire coolant system must be checked for leaks with the system pressure specified by the vehicle manufacturer. To do this, start the engine and heater.

After any correction of a defect a functional test must be performed. NOTE Before each repair on the heater, the fault memory must be read out with the Webasto Thermo Test PC Diagnosis. Exist- ing faults must be printed before deleting and made available to the Webasto Hotline or the Warranty Department.

Webasto Distributor, Dealer and End User service facilities. It is possible to read and reset stored fault codes from the Thermo Top Evo’s memory. This is achieved through the use of a diagnostic interface kit connected to the heater’s diagnostic connector and a windows-based computer having the necessary software installed.
14 | Basic Troubleshooting 14.4 Diagnostic Fault Codes Diagnostic fault codes can be communicated to the end-user without the use of the Webasto PC Diagnostic kit and software. If the system is operated with a switch, the fault is indicated by a flashing code on an indicator light (rocker switch) during heater operation.
Rectify the cause of the fault. NOTE: In most cases, a heater lockout can be removed using the procedure as stated above. In faults where safety is a concern, Webasto Thermo Test software must be used. Contact an authorized Webasto dealer for assistance.
