Coolant Draining
1) Remove radiator cap (1).
2) Loosen drain plug on radiator to drain coolant.
3) After draining coolant, be sure to tighten drain plug securely.
4) Fill cooling system. Refer to “Coolant” in this section.
Cooling Water Pipes or Hoses
REMOVAL

2) To remove water pipes or hoses, loosen screw on each pipe
or hose clip and pull hose end off.
INSTALLATION
Install removed parts in reverse order of removal procedure, not-
ing the following.
Tighten each clamp bolt securely.
Refill cooling system with proper coolant, referring to
description on “Coolant” and “Cooling System Flush and
Refill” in this section.
Thermostat
REMOVAL

INSPECTION
1) Make sure that air bleed valve (1) of thermostat is clear.
Should this valve be clogged, engine would tend to overheat.
2) Check valve seat for some foreign matters being stuck which
prevent valve from seating tight.
3) Check thermostatic movement of wax pellet as follows:
a) Immerse thermostat (1) in water, and heat water gradually.
b) Check that valve starts to open at specification temp.
c) If valve starts to open at a temperature substantially below
or above, thermostat unit should be replaced with a new
one.
Such a unit, if re-used, will bring about overcooling or over-
heating tendency.
Thermostat functional specification
INSTALLATION
1) When positioning the thermostat (2) on the thermostat case
(1), be sure to align its air breather valve (3) with mark (4).
2) Install thermostat cap (5) to thermostat case with align air
bleed valve and mark.
Then, tighten mounting bolts to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Thermostat cap bolts
(a) : 11 N·m (1.1 kg-m, 8.0 lb-ft)
Thermostat case bolts
(b) : 25 N·m (2.5 kg-m, 18.0 lb-ft)
3) Install intake manifold by referring to “Throttle Body and
Intake Manifold” in Section 6A1.
4) Fill the cooling system.

REMOVAL / INSTALLATION
Refer to “Knock Sensor” in Section 6A1.
Main relay, fuel pump relay and A/C condenser fan
control relay
INSPECTION
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Remove main relay (1), fuel pump relay (2) and A/C con-
denser fan control relay (3) from vehicle.
3) Check that there is no continuity between terminal “A” and
“B”. If there is continuity, replace relay.
4) Connect battery positive (+) terminal to terminal “C” of relay.
Connect battery negative (–) terminal “D” of relay.
Check continuity between terminal “A” and “B”.
If there is no continuity when relay is connected to the bat-
tery, replace relay.
