2004 ISUZU TF SERIES radiator

ENGINE COOLING 6B – 9

 After tightening radiator cap, warm up the engine at about
2000 rpm. Set heater adjustment to the highest temperature
position, and let the coolant circulate also into heater wate
r
system.
 Check to see the thermostat has opened through the
needle position of water thermometer, conduct a 5–minute
idling again and stop the engine.
 When the engine has been cooled, check filler neck fo
r
water level and replenish if required. Should extreme
shortage of coolant is found, check the cooling system and
reservoir tank hose for leakage.
 Pour coolant into the reservoir tank up to “MAX" line.

Inspection and Repair
Make the necessary adjustments, repairs, and part
replacements if excessive wear or damage is discovered
during 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) 93.3





122.7 (13.5





17.8)
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) 1.96

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 signs 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
