Inspection
Radiator Cap
Measure the valve opening pressure of the pressurizing valve
with a radiator filler cap tester.
Replace the cap if the valve opening pressure is outside the
standard range.
Valve opening pressure kPa (psi) 88.3 – 103.0
(13.5 – 15.7)
Cap tester: 5-8840-0277-0
Adapter: 5-8840-2603-0
Check the condition of the vacuum valve in the center of the
valve seat side of the cap. If considerable rust or dirt is found,
or if the valve seat cannot be moved by hand, clean or replace
the cap.
Valve opening vacuum kPa (psi) 1.9 - 4.9
(0.28 - 0.71)



Radiator Core
1. A bent fin may result in reduced ventilation and overheating
may occur. All bent fins must be straightened. Pay close
attention to the base of the fin when it is being straightened.
2. Remove all dust, bugs and other foreign material.
Flushing the Radiator
Thoroughly wash the inside of the radiator and the engine
coolant passages with cold water and mild detergent. Remove
all sign of scale and rust.
Cooling System Leakage Check
Use a radiator cap tester to force air into the radiator through
the filler neck at the specified pressure of 196 kPa (28.5 psi)
with a cap tester:

Leakage from the radiator

Leakage from the coolant pump

Leakage from the water hoses

Check the rubber hoses for swelling.
Cap tester: 5-8840-0277-0
Adapter: 5-8840-2603-0

ENGINE COOLING 6B-13

Installation
1. Install radiator assembly, taking care not to damage the
radiator core.
2. Install the radiator assembly.
3. Connect reserve tank hose.
4. Connect radiator inlet hose and outlet hose.
5. Pour engine coolant up to filler neck of radiator, and up to
MAX mark of reserve tank.
Important operation (in case of 100% engine coolan
t
change) procedure for filling with engine coolant.

Remove radiator cap.

Fill with engine coolant (EC) to the radiator filler neck.

Fill with EC to the "MAX" line on the reservoir tank.

Start the engine with the radiator cap removed and bring to
operating temperature by running engine at 2,500 - 3,000
rpm for 30 minutes.

By EC temperature gauge reading make sure that the
thermostat is open.

If air bubbles come up to the radiator filler neck, replenish
with EC. Repeat until the EC level does not drop any further.
Install the radiator cap and stop the engine.

Replenish EC to the "MAX" line on the reservoir tank and
leave as it is until the engine gets cool.


After the engine gets cool, start the engine and make sure
there is no water running noise heard from the heater core
while the engine runs at 3000 rpm.

Should water running noise be heard, repeat the same
procedure from the beginning.

6E–254 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
DETONATION/SPARK KNOCK SYMPTOM
DEFINITIONS: A mild to severe ping, usually worse under acceleration. The engine makes a sharp metallic knocking
sound that changes with throttle opening. Prolonged detonation may lead to complete engine tailure.
Step Action Value(s) Yes No
1Was the “On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check”
performed?—Go to Step 2Go to OBD
System Check
2 1. Perform a bulletin search.
2. If a bulletin that addresses the symptom is found,
correct the condition as instructed in the bulletin.
Was a bulletin found that addresses the symptom?—Verify repair Go to Step 3
3 Was a visual/physical check performed?
—Go to Step 4Go to Visual /
physical Check.
4 1. If Tech 2 readings are normal (refer to Typical
Scan Data Values) and there are no engine
mechanical faults, fill the fuel tank with a known
quality gasoline.
2. Re-evaluate the vehicle performance.
Is detonation present?—Go to Step 5Verify repair
5 1. Check for obvious overheating problems:
Low engine coolant
Restricted air flow to radiator
Incorrect coolant solution
2. If a problem is found, repair as necessary.
Was a problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 6
6 Check the fuel pressure. Refer to 6E-108 page “Fuel
System Diagnosis” .
Was a problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 7
7 1. Using a Tech 2, display the MAP sensor value in
comparison with atmosphere temperature.
2. Check for a faulty, plugged, or incorrectly installed
MAP sensor.
Was the problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 8
8 1. Using a Tech 2, display the ECT sensor and IAT
sensor value and warm up condition compared
with the typical data.
2. Check the specified value or wire.
Was the problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 9
9 Observe the throttle position display on the Tech 2
while slowly increasing throttle pedal.
Does the throttle position increase steady with
increasing smoothly?
—Go to Step 10Refer to
Diagnostic
Trouble Code
P0123 for
further
diagnosis
10 Check the knock sensor wire, shield wire, or
installation condition.
Was a problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 11
11 Check items that can cause the engine to run lean.
Refer to DTC P1171 “Fuel Supply System Lean
During Power Enrichment”.
Was a problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 12

SHEET METAL

This section includes items of front end sheet metal that are attached by bolts, screws or clips and related
accessory components.
Anticorrosion materials have been applied to the interior surfaces of some metal panels to provide rust resistance.
When servicing these panes, areas on which this material has been disturbed, should be properly recoated with
service-type anticorrosion material.
