Scheme 43: ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
  1. INSPECT COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS CAUTION: Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Pressurized, hot engine coolant and steam may be released and cause serious burns. Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator cap tester. Warm up the engine. Using the radiator cap tester, increase the pressure inside the radiator to 118 kPa (1.2 kgf/cm 2 , 17.1 psi), and check that the pressure does not drop. If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator or water pump for leaks. If no external leaks are found, check the heater core, cylinder block and head.
  2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR The engine coolant level should be between the "LOW" and "FULL" lines when the engine is cold. If low, check for leaks and add "TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant" or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology up to the "FULL" line.
  3. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY Remove the radiator cap. CAUTION: Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Pressurized, hot engine coolant and steam may be released and cause serious burns. Check if there are any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap and radiator filler hole. Also, the coolant should be free from oil. HINT: If excessively dirty, replace the coolant. Reinstall the radiator cap.

  1. INSPECT WATER OUTLET CAP SUB-ASSEMBLY NOTE: If the reservoir cap is contaminated, always rinse it with water. Before using a radiator cap tester, wet the relief valve and pressure valve with engine coolant or water. When performing steps (a) and (b) below, keep the tester at an angle of over 30° above the horizontal. Using a radiator cap tester, slowly pump the tester and check that air is being released from the vacuum valve. Pump speed: 1 push every 3 seconds or more NOTE: Push the pump at a constant speed. If air is not being released from the vacuum valve, replace the reservoir cap. Pump the tester and measure the relief valve opening pressure. Pump speed: 1 push within 1 second NOTE: The pump speed above should be followed for the first pump only. It will close the vacuum valve. Once the vacuum valve is closed, the pump speed can be reduced. Standard opening pressure: 69.0 to 112.8 kPa (0.70 to 1.15 kgf/cm 2 , 10.0 to 16.4 psi) HINT: Use the tester's maximum reading as the opening pressure. If the maximum reading is less than the minimum opening pressure above, replace the radiator cap.

HINT

The cooling fan may rotate when the ignition switch is turned from ACC to ON. This is normal.

  1. CHECK COOLING FAN OPERATION WITH LOW TEMPERATURE (BELOW 83°C (181°F)) Turn the ignition switch ON. Check that the cooling fan stops. If not, check the cooling fan relay and ECT switches, and check for disconnected connectors or wire breaks between the cooling fan relay and ECT switches Disconnect the ECT switch No.1 connector Connect the terminals on the ECT switch No.1 connector. Check that the No.1 cooling fan rotates at a high speed. If not, check the No.1 cooling fan relay and No.1 cooling fan. Reconnect the ECT switch No.1 connector. Disconnect the ECT switch No.2 connector. Ground the terminal on the ECT switch No.2 wire harness side connector. Check that the No.1 and No.2 cooling fans rotate at a low speed. If not, check the No.2 cooling fan relay, No.3 cooling fan relay and No.2 cooling fan. Reconnect the ECT switch No.2 connector.
  2. CHECK COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY Disconnect the cooling fan connector. Connect battery and ammeter to the cooling fan connector. Check that the cooling fan rotates smoothly, and check the reading on the ammeter. Standard amperage: 8.0 to 12.0 A at 20°C (68°F) If not, replace the cooling fan. Reconnect the cooling fan connector.

  1. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT Remove the radiator cap. CAUTION: Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Pressurized, hot engine coolant and steam may be released and cause serious burns. Drain engine coolant by loosening the radiator drain cock plug and the engine's cylinder block drain cock plug. HINT: Engine coolant inside the radiator is drained from the drain hole located on the bottom of the engine under cover. Tighten the cylinder block drain cock plugs. Torque: 13 N*m (130 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf)
  2. ADD ENGINE COOLANT Tighten the radiator drain plug. Add engine coolant into the radiator until it overflows. Capacity: 9.2 liters (9.7 US qts, 8.1 lmp. qts) HINT: Use of improper coolants may damage the engine cooling system. Use "TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant" or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology. New TOYOTA vehicles are filled with TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant (color is pink, premixed ethylene-glycol concentration is approximately 50% and freezing temperature is -35°C (-31°F)). When replacing the coolant, TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant is recommended. Observe the coolant level inside the radiator by pressing the inlet and outlet radiator hoses several times by hand. If the coolant level goes down, add the coolant. NOTE: Do not use plain water alone. Pour coolant into the radiator reservoir tank until the coolant reaches the full line (procedure "A"). Install the radiator cap. Warm up the engine. HINT: As the engine warms up, press the inlet and outlet radiator hoses several times by hand. Stop the engine and wait until the coolant cools down to room temperature. Remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level inside the radiator (procedure "B"). If the coolant level is below the full level, repeat steps "A" to "B" until the coolant level stays the same from step "A" to "B". Install the radiator cap and the check the radiator reservoir tank coolant level. If it is below the full line, add coolant.
  3. CHECK FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAKS Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator cap tester. Pump it to 118 kPa (1.2 kgf/cm 2 , 17.1 psi) and check leakage.

  1. INSPECT LOCK PLATE FOR DAMAGE Inspect the lock plate for damage. HINT: If the sides of the lock plate groove are deformed, reassembly of the tank will be impossible. Therefore, first correct the lock plate groove's shape with pliers or a similar object, if necessary. Water leakage will result if the bottom of the lock plate groove is damaged or dented. Repair or replace if necessary. NOTE: The radiator can only be recaulked 2 times. After the 2nd time, the radiator core must be replaced.
  2. INSPECT FOR WATER LEAKS Plug the inlet and outlet pipes of the radiator with SST. SST 09230-01010 Using a radiator cap tester, apply pressure to the radiator. Test pressure: 177 kPa (1.8 kgf/cm 2 , 26 psi) Submerge the radiator in water. Inspect for leaks. HINT: On radiators with resin tanks, there is clearance between the tank and lock plate where a minute amount of air will remain, giving the appearance of an air leak when the radiator is submerged in water. Therefore, before doing the water leak test, first swish the radiator around in the water until all air bubbles disappear.

Tap the lock plate with a soft-faced hammer so that there is no gap between the lock plate and the tank.
  3. ASSEMBLE SST Install the punch assembly to the overhaul handle, inserting it in the hole in part A as shown in the illustration. SST 09230-01010, 09231-14010 While gripping the handle, adjust the stopper bolt so that dimension B shown in the illustration. Dimension B: 8.4 mm (0.331 in.)
  4. CAULK LOCK PLATE Lightly press SST against the lock plate in the order shown in the illustration. After repeating this a few times, fully caulk the lock plate by gripping the handle until stopped by the stopper plate. SST 09230-01010 HINT: Do not tap the areas protruding around the pipes, brackets or tank ribs. The dotted circles shown in the illustration and parts of the oil cooler near the dotted circles (A/T) cannot be tapped with the SST. Use pliers or similar objects and be careful not to damage the core plates. Check the lock plate height (H) after completing the caulking. Plate height (H): 7.40 to 7.80 mm (0.2913 to 0.3071 in.) If not within the specified height, adjust the stopper bolt of the handle again and caulk again.
