ENGINE COOLANTPFP:KQ100
InspectionEBS00LN5
LEVEL CHECK

Check if the engine coolant reservoir tank level is within MIN to
MAX level when engine is cool.

Adjust engine coolant level as necessary.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
WAR NIN G:
Never remove the radiator or reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from
high-pressure engine coolant escaping from the radiator or reservoir.

To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system at
the reservoir filler neck using suitable tool and Tool.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
NOTE:
In case that engine coolant decreases, replenish cooling system
with engine coolant.

If any concerns are found, repair or replace damaged parts.
CHECKING RESERVOIR CAP

Check reservoir cap relief pressure using suitable tool and Tool.
NOTE:
Apply engine coolant to the cap seal.

Replace the reservoir cap if there is any damage in the nega-
tive-pressure valve, or if the open-valve pressure is outside of
the limit.
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
Inspect the radiator cap.
NOTE:
Thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue or foreign material.

Replace the cap if the metal plunger cannot be seen around the edge of the black rubber gasket.

Replace the cap if deposits of waxy residue or other foreign material are on the black rubber gasket or the
metal retainer.
