Warning
l Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is
hot.
l Wrap a thick cloth around the cap when removing it.
l When removing the radiator cap, loosen it slowly
to the first stop until the pressure in the radiator is
released, and then remove it.
03UOEX~006
Coolant Level (Engine cold)
1. Verify that the coolant level is near the radiator filler neck.
2. Remove the coolant level gauge and check the coolant level.
Coolant Quality
1. Verify that there is no buildup of rust or scale around the
radiator cap or radiator filler neck.
2. Verify that coolant is free of oil. Replace the coolant if
necessary.
Coolant Leakage
1. Connect a radiator tester (commercially available) and the
SST to the radiator filler neck.
2. Apply
103 kPa (1.05 kg/cm2, 15 psi) pressure to the
system.
3. Verify that the pressure is held.
If not, check for coolant leakage.

Caution
l Do not use alcohol- or methanol-based coolant.
l Use only soft (demineralized) water in the coolant
mixture.
1. Measure the coolant temperature and specific gravity with
a thermometer and a hydrometer.
2. Determine the coolant protection by referring to the graph
shown.
If the coolant protection is not proper, add water or coolant.

Warning
l Never open the radiator cap while the engine is hot.
l Wrap a thick cloth around the cap when loosening.
. Use caution when draining hot coolant.
Caution ..-
l Do not use alcohol- or methanol-based coolant.
l Use only soft (demineralized) water in the coolant
mixture.
1. Remove the radiator cap and loosen the drain plug.
2. Drain the coolant into a suitable container.
3. Flush the cooling system with water until all traces of color
are gone; then let the system drain completely.
4. Install the drain plug.
5. Fill with the proper amount and mixture of ethylene glycol
based coolant by referring to the table above.

ATX: 6.0 liters (6.3 US qt, 5.3 Imp qt)
6. Run the engine with the radiator cap removed until the up-
per radiator hose is hot.
7. With the engine idling, add coolant to the radiator until it
reaches the bottom of the filler neck.
8. Install the radiator cap.

INSPECTION
Radiator Cap Valve
1. Remove foreign material (such as water residue) from be-
tween the radiator cap valve and the valve seat.
2. Attach the radiator cap to a radiator cap tester (commer-
cially available) with the
SST. Apply pressure gradually to
74-103 kPa (0.75-l .05 kg/cm , 11-15 PSI).
3. Wait about 10 seconds. Verify that the pressure has not
decreased.
Negative Pressure Valve
1. Pull the negative pressure valve to open it. Verify 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.

REMOVAL / INSTALLATION
Caution
l Position the hose clamp in the original location on the hose, and squeeze the clamp lightly
with large pliers to ensure a good fit.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Drain the engine coolant.
3. Remove in the order shown in the figure.
4. Install in the reverse order of removal.
