Scheme 31: INSPECTION
  1. Check that the radiator does not have deformation, cracks or damage.
  2. Check that the hose has no cracks, damage or loose part.
  3. Remove the radiator cap, fill the radiator with engine coolant, and then install the radiator cap tester to the filler neck of radiator.
  4. Apply a pressure of 157 kPa (1.6 kgf/cm 2 , 23 psi) to the radiator, and check the following items. 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 not to deform the filler neck of radiator when installing and removing the radiator cap tester. Be careful of engine coolant from spurting out when removing the radiator cap tester.

Scheme 32

Scheme 32: INSPECTION
  1. Check that the radiator cap does not have deformation, cracks or damage.
  2. Attach the radiator cap tester to radiator cap.
  3. Increase pressure until the radiator cap tester gauge needle stops. Radiator cap is functioning properly if it holds the service limit pressure for 5 - 6 seconds. Replace the radiator cap if its valve opens at less than the service limit. Standard: 93 - 123 kPa (0.95 - 1.25 kgf/cm 2 , 14 - 18 psi) Service limit: 83 kPa (0.85 kgf/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.
