ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
WARNING:
Check to make sure that engine coolant temperature is
cold before removing any part of cooling system.
Also be sure to disconnect negative cord from battery ter-
minal before removing any part.
COOLING WATER PIPES OR HOSES
REMOVAL
1) Drain cooling system.
2) To remove these pipes or hoses, loosen screw on each pipe or
hose clip and pull hose end off.
INSTALLATION
Install removed parts in reverse order of removal procedure, noting
the following.
Tighten each clamp bolt securely.
Refill cooling system with proper coolant, referring to description
on COOLANT of MAINTENANCE.
THERMOSTAT
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Drain cooling system and tighten drain plug.
3) Disconnect thermostat cap (1) from thermostat case (2).

4) Remove thermostat (1).
INSPECTION
1) Make sure that air bleed valve (1) of thermostat is clean.
Should this valve be clogged, engine would tend to overheat.
2) Check to make sure that valve seat is free from foreign matters
which would prevent valve from seating tight.
3) Check thermostatic movement of wax pellet as follows:
Immerse thermostat (1) in water, and heat water gradually.
Check that valve starts to open at specific temperature.
If valve starts to open at a temperature substantially below or
above specific temperature, thermostat unit should be re-
placed with a new one. Such a unit, if reused, will bring about
overcooling or overheating tendency.
INSTALLATION
1) When positioning thermostat on thermostat case, be sure to
position it so that air bleed valve comes uppermost and into the
recession of thermostat case.
2) Install thermostat cap to thermostat case. When installing cap,
align arrow marks on cap and case.
3) Fill cooling system.
4) Connect negative cable.
5) After installation, check each part for leakage.

INSPECTION
Immerse temperature sensing part of IAT sensor in water (or ice)
and measure resistance between sensor terminals while heating
water gradually.
If measured resistance doesn’t show such characteristic as shown
in left figure, replace IAT sensor.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure noting the following.

Clean mating surfaces of IAT sensor and air cleaner case.

Connect IAT sensor coupler securely.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(ECT SENSOR)
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect battery negative cable at battery.
2) Drain coolant referring to Section 6B.
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove radia-
tor cap while engine and radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure if cap is taken
off too soon.
3) Disconnect coupler from ECT sensor.
4) Remove ECT sensor from thermostat case.
