NOTICE:
Do not use an alcohol type coolant or plain water alone.
The coolant should be mixed with plain water (preferably demineralized wat\
er or distilled wa-
ter).
HINT:
Use of improper coolants may damage engine cooling system.
Use ºToyota Long Life Coolantº or equivalent and mix it with plain water ac\
cording to the manufactur-
er's directions.
Using of coolant with includes more than 50 % (freezing protection down to ±\
35 C (±31 F)) or 60 %
(freezing protection down to ±50 C (±58 F)) of ethylene±glycol is recommended but not more than
70 %.
Press the radiator inlet and outlet hose several times with hard.
If the coolant level gets lower, pour coolant.
(b)Reinstall the radiator cap.
(c)Pour engine coolant into the reservoir tank until it reaches full line.
(d)Warm up the engine until the thermostat valve begins to open.
HINT:
Press the radiator inlet and outlet hose several times with hard during \
the warming up.
(e)Stop the engine and wait until the coolant temp. Gets cold. Then remove the radiator cap to check the coolant level.
HINT:
If the level gets lower, perform the procedures above again.
If the level does not gets lower, adjust the reservoir tank coolant level.

HINT:
It is normal that the cooling fan sometime rotates when the ignition switch is turned from ACC to ON.
1. CHECK COOLING FAN OPERATION WITH LOW TEMPERATURE (Below 83C (181F))
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Check that the cooling fan stops.
If not, check the cooling fan relay and engine coolant temperature sensor, and check for disconnection of
connectors or wire break between the cooling fan relay and engine coolant temperature sensor.
(c) Disconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor connector.
(d) Check that the cooling fan rotates.
If not, check the fuses, cooling fan relay, ECM and cooling fan, and check for a short circuit between the
cooling fan relay and engine coolant temperature sensor.
(e) Reconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor connector.
2. CHECK COOLING FAN OPERATION WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE (Above 100C (212F))
(a) Start the engine, and raise coolant temperature to above 100C (212F).
HINT:
Coolant temperature is the detected value by the engine coolant temperature sensor on the water outlet.
(b) Check that the cooling fan rotates.
If not, replace the engine coolant temperature sensor.
3. INSPECT COOLING FAN
(a) Disconnect the cooling fan connector.
(b) Connect battery and ammeter to the cooling fan connector.
(c) Check that the cooling fan rotates smoothly, and check the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage:
5.2 to 8.2 A at 20C (68F) (M/T)
8.3 to 11.3 A at 20C (68F) (A/T)
(d) Reconnect the cooling fan connector.
4. INSPECT COOLING FAN No.2 (With Air Conditioner)
(a) Disconnect the cooling fan connector.
(b) Connect battery and ammeter to the cooling fan connector.
(c) Check that the cooling fan rotates smoothly, and check the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage:
5.2 to 8.2 A at 20C (68F) (M/T)
8.3 to 11.3 A at 20C (68F) (A/T)

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT THERMOSTAT
HINT:
The thermostat is numbered with the valve opening tempera-
ture.
(a) Immerse the thermostat in water an gradually heat the
water.
(b) Check the valve opening temperature of the thermostat.
Valve opening temperature:
86 to 90C (187 to 198F)
If the valve opening temperature is not as specified, replace the
thermostat.
(c) Check the valve lift.
Valve lift: 10 mm (0.394 in.) or more at 100C (212F)
If the valve lift is not as specified, replace the thermostat.
(d) Check that the valve is fully closed when the thermostat
is at low temperatures (below 83C (181F)).
If not closed, replace the thermostat.
2. INSPECT RADIATOR CAP SUB±ASSY
NOTICE:
If the radiator cap is contaminatied, rinse it with water.
Before using a radiator cap tester, wet the relief valve
and the pressure valve with engine coolant or water.
When performing following steps (a) and (b), keep the
tester at an angle of over 30 above horizontal.

(a) Using a radiator cap tester, slowly pump the tester and
check that air is coming from the vacuum valve.
Pump speed: 1 push / 3 seconds or more
NOTICE:
Push the pump at a constant speed.
If air is not coming from the vacuum valve, replace the radiator
cap.
(b) Pump the tester and measure the relief valve opening
pressure.
NOTICE:
The following pump speed is for the first pump only (in or-
der to close the vacuum valve). After the first pump, the
pump speed can be reduced.
Pump speed: 1 push within 1 second
Standard opening pressure:
74 to 103 kPa (0.75 to 1.05 kgf/cm
2, 10.7 to 14.9 psi)
Minimum opening pressure:
59 kPa (0.6 kgf/cm
2, 8.6 psi)
If the opening pressure is less than minimum, replace the radia-
tor cap.
HINT:
Use the tester's maximum reading as the opening pressure.
3. INSPECT WATER PUMP ASSY
(a) Visually check the drain hole for coolant leakage.
If leakage is found, replace the water pump.
(b) Turn the pulley, and check that the water pump bearing
moves smoothly and does not make noise.
If necessary, replace the water pump.

ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the ra-
diator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Ther-
mal expansion will cause hot engine coolant and steam to
blow out from the radiator.
(a) Remove the radiator support opening cover.
(b) Remove the engine room cover side.
(c) Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator cap tes-
ter.
(d) Warm up the engine.
(e) Pump it to 118 kPa (1.2 kgf/cm
2, 17.1 psi), and check that
the pressure does not drop.
If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator and water
pump for leaks. If there are no signs or traces of external coolant
leaks, check the heater core, cylinder block and head.
(f) Reinstall the engine room cover side.
(g) Reinstall the radiator support opening cover.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR
(a) The engine coolant should be between the ºLOWº and ºFULLº lines, when the engine is cold.
If low, check for leaks and add ºToyota Long Life Coolantº or equivalent up to the ºFULLº line.
3. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
(a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator
are still hot. Thermal expansion will cause hot engine coolant and steam to blow out from the radiator.
(b) Check if there is any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap and radiator filler hole;
the coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the coolant.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap.

4. INSPECT FINS BLOCKAGE
(a) If fins are clogged, wash them with water or a steam
cleaner and dry with compressed air.
NOTICE:
If the distance between the steam cleaner and the
core is too close, there is a possibility of damaging
the fins, so keep the following injection distance.
