ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1.CHECK COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
a. Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator cap tester.

b. Warm up the engine.
c. Using a radiator cap tester, increase the pressure inside the radiator to 137 kPa (1.4 kgf/cm
2, 19.9

psi), and check that the pressure does not drop.
If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator and water pump for leaks. If no external leaks are found,
check the heater core, cylinder block and head.
2.CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR
a. Check that the engine coolant level is between the LOW and FULL lines when the engine is cold.
If the engine coolant is low, check for leaks and add "TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant" to the
FULL line.
If "TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant" is not available, use a similar high quality ethylene glycol
based non-silicate, non-amino, non-nitrite and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid
technology. Do not substitute plain water for engine coolant.
3.CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
a. Remove the radiator cap.
b. Check if there are any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap and radiator filler
hole, Also, the coolant should be free from oil.
HINT:
If excessively dirty, clean the coolant passage and replace the coolant.
c. Reinstall the radiator cap.
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT THERMOSTAT
HINT:
The thermostat is stamped with the valve openin
g temperature.

2.INSPECT RADIATOR CAP SUB-ASSY

a. Using a radiator cap tester, slowly pump the tester and check that air is being released from the
vacuum valve.

Pump speed: 1 push every 3 seconds or more
If air is not coming from the vacuum valve, replace the reservoir cap.
b. Pump the tester and measure the relief valve opening pressure.
Pump speed: 1 push within 1 second

REPLACEMENT
1.REMOVE V-BANK COVER
2.REMOVE AIR CLEANER INLET NO.1 (See REPLACEMENT
)
3.DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT
a. Remove the 2 radiator caps from the radiator reservoir and radiator.
b. Loosen the radiator drain plug and 2 drain cock plugs, then drain the coolant.

c. Close the radiator drain plug.
d. Tighten the 2 drain cock plugs.
Torque: 13 Nm (130 kgf cm, 9 ft lbf)

4.ADD ENGINE COOLANT
a. Slowly fill the cooling system with coolant.
Capacity: 9.5 liters (10.0 US qts, 8.4 lmp. qts)
HINT:
Use of improper coolants may damage the engine cooling system.
Use "TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant" or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-
silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid
technology.
New Toyota vehicles are filled with TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant (color is pink,
premixed ethylene-glycol concentration is approximately 50 % and freezing temperature is -
35° C (-31° F)). When replacing coolant, TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant is

recommended.

b. Slowly pour coolant into the radiator reservoir until it reaches the FULL line.
c. Install the radiator caps to the radiator and radiator reservoir.
d. Bleed the cooling system.
Start the engine, and open the heater water valve.
