- Remove the radiator cap, fill the radiator with engine coolant, and then install the tester to the installation position of cap.
- Apply a pressure of 157 kPa (1.6 kg/cm 2 , 23 psi) to the radiator and check the following points
- Leakage from the radiator or its vicinity
- Leakage from the hose or its connections CAUTION: Engine should be turned off. Wipe engine coolant from check points in advance. Be careful of engine coolant from spurting out when removing the tester. Be careful not to deform the filler neck of radiator when installing and removing the tester.

- Attach the radiator cap to tester.
- Increase pressure until the tester gauge pointer stops. Radiator cap is functioning properly if it holds the service limit pressure for five to six seconds. Specified pressure: 93 - 123 kPa (0.95 - 1.25 kg/cm 2 , 14 - 18 psi) Service limit pressure: 83 kPa (0.85 kg/cm 2 , 12 psi) CAUTION: Be sure to remove foreign matter and rust from the cap in advance. Otherwise, results of pressure test will be incorrect.
