8. DISCONNECTION OF AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE OIL
COOLER HOSESUse a plug or otherwise cover the hose and nipple part of
the radiator so that dust, dirt, foreign materials, etc. do not
enter after the hose has been disconnected from the
radiator.
INSPECTIONNo7OcAMl Check for foreign material between radiator fins.
l Check the radiator fins for bent, or damage.
l Check the radiator for corrosion, damage rust or scale.
lCheck the radiator hoses for cracks, damage or deteriora-
tion.l Check the reserve tank for damage.
lCheck the automatic transaxle oil cooler hoses for cracking,damage or deterioration.
RADIATOR FAN MOTOR INSPECTION(1) Check to be sure that the radiator fan rotates when batten/
voltage is applied between terminals (as shown in the
figure).
(2) Check to see that abnormal noises are not produced, whilemotor is turning.
THERM0 SENSOR INSPECTIONCheck for continuity with the therm0 sensor in hot water.
NOTEImmerse therm0 sensor in hot water up to mounting thread to
check for continuity.
