7. Install the air intake duct. < Refer to «INSTALLATION»(ref-560358-S15714713712013061300000) , Air Intake Duct. >
8. Lift up the vehicle.
9. Connect the radiator outlet hose.
10. Lower the vehicle.
11. Attach the bracket - plate (A). Tightening torque: 7.5 N.m (0.8 kgf-m, 5.5 ft-lb)
12. Attach the bracket - grille.

Scheme 32

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.

1. Leakage from the radiator or its vicinity
2. Leakage from the hose or its connections

Scheme 33

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.

3. Disconnect the connector from the main fan motor assembly.
4. Remove the bolts which hold the radiator main fan shroud onto the radiator.
5. Remove the radiator main fan and fan motor from vehicle.
