RADIATOR CAP INSPECTIONA6E361415201201MZR-CD (RF Turbo)
Warning
•Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is running, or when the engine and radiator are
hot. Scalding coolant and steam may shoot out and cause serious injury. It may also damage the
engine and cooling system.
•Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when removing the cap.
Wrap a thick cloth around it and slowly turn it counterclockwise to the first stop. Step back while
the pressure escapes.
•When you are sure all the pressure is gone, press down on the cap using the cloth, turn it, and
remove it.
1. Clean the radiator cap negative pressure valve and the sealed part.
2. Inspect the crack or turn over on the sealed part of the radiator cap.
•If not as specified, repace the radiator cap.
3. Fill the SST with the water or the engine coolant to the full level and attach the radiator cap to the SST.
4. Hold the radiator cap downward and apply pressure gradually. Verify that the pressure become held for 10 s
within the specification.
•If the pressure is not held stable within the specification, replace the radiator cap.
Pressure
94—122 kPa
{0.96—1.24 kgf/cm

Warning
•Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is running, or when the engine and radiator are
hot. Scalding coolant and steam may shoot out and cause serious injury. It may also damage the
engine and cooling system.
•Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when removing the cap.
Wrap a thick cloth around it and slowly turn it counterclockwise to the first stop. Step back while
the pressure escapes.
•When you are sure all the pressure is gone, press down on the cap using the cloth, turn it, and
remove it.
1. Inspect the coolant level.
2. Remove the radiator cap.
3. Clean the mounting surface of the rediator cap and the upper radiator hose.
4. Connect the SST to the reservoir filler port.
5. Apply specified pressure to the radiator.
Pressure
122 kPa { 1.24 kgf/cm
2, 17.6 psi}
6. Verify that the pressure is held.
•If not, inspect the system for coolant leakage.
—If the coolant leaks from the upper hose
attachment part, replace the upper hose
and the clamp.
—If the coolant leaks from the main body of
the radiator (caulked part), replace the
radiator.

QUICK RELEASE CONNECTOR (FUEL TANK SIDE, TRANSFER HOSE PART)A6E391242692201Function
•The quick release connector makes disconnecting and connecting of fuel hoses and fuel pipes easy.
Structure
•The quick release connector is adopted for the transfer hose part of the fuel tank side.
•The quick release connector is composed of a retainer, O-ring and other parts. The quick release connector
and plastic fuel hose are integrated and cannot be disconnected.
•The retainer and quick release connector are integrated and cannot be disconnected.
•An SST is not required to uncouple this type of quick release connector.
.
Operation
•Squeeze the tabs of the retainer to unlock and disconnect the quick release connector from the fuel pipe.
•A click is heard when the tabs of the retainer are pushed correctly into the lock point of the quick release
connector.

Plastic Fuel Hose Removal Note
Caution
•The quick release connector may be damaged if the tab is bent excessively. Do not expand the tab
over the stopper.
1. Disconnect the quick release connector.
(1) Push the tab on the locking coupler 90
degrees until it stops.
(2) Pull the fuel hose straight back.
Note
•The stopper may be removed from the quick
connector. Take care not to lose it.
Reinstall it to the quick release connector
before reconnecting the fuel line.
•The locking coupler has two internal locking
tabs which retain the fuel pipe. Be sure that
the tab on the locking coupler is rotated until
it stops to release two internal locking tabs.
2. Cover the disconnected quick release connector
and fuel pipe with vinyl sheets or the like to
prevent them from being scratched or
contaminated with foreign material.
Fuel Pump Cap Removal Note
1. Using the SST, remove the fuel pump cap.
