INSPECTION
HINT:
Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RADIATOR RESERVOIR
The engine coolant level should be between the ºLOWº and ºFULLº lines at normal temperature
(20°C(68°F)).
If low, check for leaks and add ºToyota Super Long Life Coolantº 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 ºFULLº line.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
(a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator
are still hot, as fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap or radiator filler
hole, and the coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, clean the coolant passages and replace the coolant.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap.

CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the ra-
diator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure.

2. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Remove the radiator cap.
(b) Remove the 3 drain plugs on the engine and radiator, and

Torque: 12.7 N´m (130 kgf´cm, 9 ft´lbf) for engine
3. REFILL WITH ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Slowly fill the system with coolant.
Capacity: 11.6 liters (12.3 US qts, 10.2 Imp. qts)
NOTICE:
Do not use plain water alone.
HINT:

Use of improper coolants may damage the engine cooling
system.

Use ºToyota Super Long Life Coolantº or similar high qual-
ity ethylene glycol based non±silicate, non±amine, non±
nitrite, and non±borate coolant with long±life hybrid or-
ganic acid technology.

New Toyota vehicles are filled with Toyota Super Long
Life Coolant (color is pink, premixed ethylene glycol con-
centration is approximately 50 % and freezing tempera-
ture is ±35°C (±31°F)). When replacing the coolant, Toyo-
ta 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.
(b) Install the radiator cap.
(c) Bleed the cooling system.
(1) Start the engine, and open the heater water valve.
(2) Maintain the engine speed at 2,000 ± 2,500 rpm,
and warm up the engine.
(d) Stop the engine, and wait until the engine coolant cools
down.
(e) Refill coolant into the reservoir until it is ºFULLº.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT WATER PUMP
(a) Visually check the air hole and water hole for coolant leak-
age.
If leakage is found, replace the water pump and timing belt.
(b) Turn the pulley, and check that the water pump bearing
moves smoothly and quietly.
If necessary, replace the water pump.
2. INSPECT FLUID COUPLING
(a) Remove the 4 nuts and fan from the fluid coupling.
(b) Check that the fluid coupling is not damaged and that no
silicon oil leaks.
If necessary, replace the fluid coupling.
(c) Reinstall the fan to the fluid coupling with the 4 nuts.
Torque: 8.5 N´m (85 kgf´cm, 75 in.´lbf)
3. INSPECT FAN PULLEY BRACKET
Check the turning smoothness of the fan pulley.
If necessary, replace the pulley bracket.

ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. REMOVE RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the ra-
diator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure.
2. INSPECT RADIATOR CAP
NOTICE:

If the radiator cap has contaminations, 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.
(a) Using a radiator cap tester, slowly pump the tester and
check that air is coming from the vacuum valve.
Pump speed: 1 push/(3 seconds or more)
NOTICE:
Push the pump at a constant speed.
If air is not coming from the vacuum valve, replace the radiator
cap.
(b) Pump the radiator cap tester, and measure the relief valve
opening pressure.
Pump speed: 1 push within 1 second
NOTICE:
This pump speed is for the first pump only (in order to close
the vacuum valve). After this, the pump speed can be re-
duced.
Opening pressure:
Standard74 to 103 kPa (0.75 to 1.05 kgf/cm2,10.7 to 14.9 psi)
Minimum59 kPa (0.6 kgf/cm2, 8.6 psi)
HINT:
Use the tester's maximum reading as the opening pressure.
If the opening pressure is less than minimum, replace the radia-
tor cap.
3. INSPECT COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
(a) Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator cap tes-
ter.
(b) Warm up the engine.
(c) Pump it 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.
4. REINSTALL RADIATOR CAP
