INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check for leaks of engine coolant using a radiator cap tester adapter (special service tool: EG17650301)
and a radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-9, "
LEAK CHECK" .
Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant and A/T fluid (A/T models).
Checking Radiator CapEBS00KOK
1. Pull negative-pressure valve to open it and make sure that it
closes completely when released.
Make sure that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of
radiator cap negative-pressure valve.
Make sure that there are no unusualness in the opening and
closing conditions of negative-pressure valve.
2. Check radiator cap relief pressure.
When connecting radiator cap to radiator cap tester (commer-
cial service tool) and radiator cap tester adapter (special ser-
vice tool), apply engine coolant to radiator cap seal surface.
Replace radiator cap if there is an unusualness in negative-
pressure valve, or if the relief pressure falls below the limit.
Checking RadiatorEBS00KOL
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.
Be careful not to bend or damage radiator fins.
When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator
shroud and horns. Then tape harness and connectors to prevent water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surface once per minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from the radiator.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically downward.
Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (4.9 bar, 5 kg/cm2 , 71 psi) and keep distance more than 30 cm
(11.8 in).
5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surfaces once per minute until no water sprays out.

PREPARATION
1. Attach the spacer to the tip of radiator plate pliers A (special ser-
vice tool).
Spacer specification: 1.5 mm (0.059 in) thick × 18 mm (0.71 in)
wide × 8.5 mm (0.335 in) long.
2. Make sure that when radiator plate pliers A (special service tool) are closed dimension H′′ is approx. 7.6
mm (0.299 in).
3. Adjust dimension H′′ with the spacer thickness, if necessary.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove upper and lower tanks with a radiator plate pliers B
(special service tool).
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble lower tank and A/T fluid cooler. (A/T
models)

4. Make sure that the rim is completely crimped down.
5. Make sure that there is no leakage.
Refer to CO-17, "
INSPECTION" .
INSPECTION
1. Apply pressure with radiator cap tester adapter (special service
tool) and radiator cap tester (commercial service tool).
WARNING:
To prevent the risk of hose coming undone while under
pressure, securely fasten it down with hose clamp.
CAUTION:
Attach hose to A/T fluid cooler to seal its inlet and outlet.
(A/T models)
2. Check for leakage by soaking radiator in water container with
the testing pressure applied.Standard height “H” : 8.0 - 8.4 mm (0.315 - 0.331 in)
