ENGINE COOLING 6B – 17
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




4.91 (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 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

INSPECTION AND REPAIR
Make the necessary adjustments, repairs, and part replacement if excessive wear of damage is discovered during
inspection.

VISUAL CHECK
Check the main fuses and glow indicator for damage.
Replace the part(s) if required.
GLOW RELAY
The glow relay is located in the relay box the engine
compartment.

Use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance between
terminals No.2 and No.3.
If the measured value is outside the specified range, the
glow relay must be replaced.

Step 3: Simulate the symptom and isolate the
problem
Simulate the symptom and isolate the system by
reproducing all possible conditions suggested in Step 1
while monitoring suspected circuits/components/
systems to isolate the problem symptom. Begin with the
most logical circuit/component.
Isolate the circuit by dividing the suspect system into
simpler circuits. Nex t, confine the problem into a smaller
area of the system. Begin at the most logical point (or
point of easiest access) and thoroughly check the
isolated circuit for the fault, using basic circuit tests.
Hints
You can isolate a circuit by:
Unplugging connectors or removing a fuse to
separate one part of the circuit from another
If only component fails to operate, begin testing the
component
If a number of components do not operate, begin test
at areas of commonality (such as power sources,
ground circuits, switches, main connectors or major
components)
Substitute a known good part from the parts
department or the vehicle system
Try the suspect part in a known good vehicle
See Symptom Simulation Tests on the nex t page for
problem simulation procedures. Refer to service manual
sections 6E and 8A for information about intermittent
diagnosis. Follow procedures for basic circuit testing in
service manual section 8A.
What resources you should use
Whenever appropriate, you should use the following
resources to assist in the diagnostic process:
Service manual
Bulletins
Digital multimeter (with a MIN/MAX feature)
Tech II and Tech II upload function
Circuit testing tools (including connector kits/
harnesses and jumper wires)
Ex perience
Intermittent problem solving simulation methods
Customer complaint check sheet
Symptom Simulation Tests
1. Vibration
This method is useful when the customer complaint
analysis indicates that the problem occurs when the
vehicle/system undergoes some form of vibration.
For connectors and wire harness, slightly shake
vertically and horizontally. Inspect the connector joint
and body for damage. Also, tapping lightly along a
suspected circuit may be helpful.For parts and sensors, apply slight vibration to the part
with a light tap of the finger while monitoring the system
for a malfunction.
2. Heat
This method is important when the complaint suggests
that the problem occurs in a heated environment. Apply
moderate heat to the component with a hair drier or
similar tool while monitoring the system for a
malfunction.
CA UTION: Care must be take to avoid overheating
the component.
3. Water and Moisture
This method may be used when the complaint suggests
that the malfunction occurs on a rainy day or under
conditions of high humidity. In this case, apply water in a
light spray on the vehicle to duplicate the problem.
CA UTION: Care must be take to avoid directly
exposing electrical connections to water.
4. Electrical loads
This method involves turning systems ON (such as the
blower, lights or rear window defogger) to create a load
on the vehicle electrical system at the same time you
are monitoring the suspect circuit/component.
5e. Vehicle Operates as Designed
This condition refers to instances where a system
operating as designed is perceived to be unsatisfactory
or undesirable. In general, this is due to:
A lack of understanding by the customer
A conflict between customer ex pectations and
vehicle design intent
A system performance that is unacceptable to the
customer
What you should do
You can verify that a system is operating as designed
by:
Reviewing service manual functional/diagnostic
checks
Ex amining bulletins and other service information for
supplementary information
Compare system operation to an identical vehicle
If the condition is due to a customer misunderstanding
or a conflict between customer ex pectation and system
operation, you should ex plain the system operation to
the customer.
If the complaint is due to a case of unsatisfactory
system performance, you should contact Technical
Assistance for the latest information.
What resources you should use
Whenever possible, you should use the following
resources to facilitate the diagnostic process:
