INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal.
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
Check valve seat of radiator cap.
–Check if valve seat is swollen to the extent that the edge of the
plunger cannot be seen when watching it vertically from the top.
–Check if valve seat has no soil and damage.
Pull negative-pressure valve to open it, and make sure that it is
completely closed 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.
Check radiator cap relief pressure.
–When connecting radiator cap to the radiator cap tester (com-
mercial service tool) and the radiator cap tester adapter [SST],
apply engine coolant to the cap seal surface.
Replace radiator cap if there is an unusualness related to the above three.
CAUTION:
When installing radiator cap, thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue
or foreign material.
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.

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)

Grip the crimped edge and bend it upwards so that radiator
plate pliers B slips off.
CAUTION:
Do not bend excessively.
In areas where radiator plate pliers B cannot be used, use
screwdriver to bend the edge up.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage tank.
2. Remove sealing rubber.
3. Make sure the edge stands straight up.

5. Make sure that there is no leakage.
Refer to CO-18, "
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)
