ENGINE COOLANT LEAK CHECK
| WARNING | When pressure testing the cooling system, slowly release cooling system pressure to avoid getting burned by hot coolant. |
- Check that the coolant level is up to the filler neck. Install a radiator tester and apply 160 kPa (23 psi) pressure, and then check for leakage from the radiator hose or connections.
- If there is leakage, repair or replace the appropriate part.
RADIATOR CAP PRESSURE CHECK
Note. Be sure that the cap is clean before testing. Rust or other foreign material on the cap seal will cause an improper reading.
- Use a cap adapter to attach the cap to the tester.
- Increase the pressure until the indicator of the gauge stops moving. Minimum limit: 83 kPa (12 psi) Standard value: 93 - 123 kPa (14 - 18 psi)
- Replace the radiator cap if the reading does not remain at or above the limit.
<< A RADIATOR LOWER HOSE DISCONNECTION
Make mating marks on the radiator hose and the hose clamp. Disconnect the radiator hose.
Scheme 37
<< A RADIATOR UPPER HOSE DISCONNECTION
Make mating marks on the radiator hose and the hose clamp. Disconnect the radiator hose.
Water Pipe and Hose Check
Check the water pipe and hose for cracks, damage and clogs. Replace them if necessary.
<< A RADIATOR UPPER HOSE/RADIATOR LOWER HOSE DISCONNECTION
Make mating marks on the radiator hose and the hose clamp.
Disconnect the radiator hose.
Scheme 38
- Insert each hose as far as the projection of the water inlet fitting, thermostat housing or radiator.
- Align the mating marks on the radiator hose and hose clamp, and then connect the radiator hose.
