INSPECTION
Coolant Level (Engine cold)
1. Check that the coolant level is near the radiator inlet
port.
2. Check that the coolant level in the coolant reser-
voir is between the FULL and LOW marks.
Add coolant if necessary.
Warning
a) Never remove the radiator cap while the en-
gine is hot.
b)Wrap a thick cloth around the cap when
removing it.
Coolant Quality
1. Check that there is no build-up of rust or scales
around the radiator cap or radiator filler neck.
2. Check that coolant is free from oil.
3. Replace the coolant, if necessary.
Coolant Leakage
1. Connect a tester and SST to the radiator inlet port.
2. Apply 103 kPa (1.05 kg/cm2, 15 psi) pressure
to the system.
3. Check that the pressure is held.
If not, check for coolant leakage.
Warning
When removing either the radiator cap or the
tester, loosen it slowly until the pressure in
the radiator is released, and then remove it.
86U03X-005
REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the radiator cap and loosen the drain plug.
2. Drain the coolant into a suitable container.
Warning
a) Never open the radiator cap while the en-
gine is hot.
b)Wrap a thick cloth around the cap when
loosening.
c) Use caution when draining hot coolant.

3. Set the heater control switch to the maximum heat
position.
4. Flush the cooling system with water until all traces
of color are gone, then let the system drain com-
pletely.
5. Fill with the proper mixture and amount of ethy-
lene glycol-based coolant.
Caution
a) Do not use alcohol- or methanol-based
coolant.
b) Use only soft (demineralized) water in the
coolant mixture.

6. Run the engine at idle with the radiator cap re-
moved. Let any air bleed from the system, and add
more coolant.
7. Install the radiator cap, and inspect all connections
for leakage.
RADIATOR CAP
INSPECTION
Radiator Cap Valve
1. Remove foreign material (such as water residue)
from between the radiator cap valve and the valve
seat.
2. Attach the radiator cap to a tester with the SST.
Apply pressure gradually to 74—103 kPa
(0.75—1.05 kg/cm2, 11—15 psi).
3. Wait about 10 seconds; then check that the pres-
sure has not decreased.
Negative Pressure Valve
1. Pull the negative-pressure valve to open it. Check
that it closes completely when released.
2. Check for damage on the contact surfaces, and
for cracked or deformed seal packing.
3. Replace the radiator cap if necessary.

INSPECTION
Check the following points. Repair or replace if
necessary.
1. Cracks, damage, or water leakage
2. Bent fins (Repair with a screwdriver)
3. Distorted or bent radiator inlet.
Note
a) Position the hose clamp in the original location on the hose.
b) Squeeze the clamp lightly with large pliers to ensure a good fit. 86U03X-010
