INSPECTION
1. Apply pressure with radiator cap tester adapter (SST) and radia-
tor cap tester (commercial service tool).
provide used radiator and connect it to tested radiator using
radiator hoses as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
The used radiator should be tested beforehand to confirm it
has no leakage. If used one is not available, it is possible to
use new service part as a radiator testing tool.
WA R N I N G :
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.
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)

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Make sure that valves both in thermostat and water control valve are completely closing at normal tempar-
ature.
Place a thread so that it is caught in the valves of the thermostat
and water control valve. Immerse fully in a container filled with
water. Heat while stirring. (The example in the figure shows ther-
mostat.)
The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and falls from the thread.
Continue heating. Check the maximum valve lift.
NOTE:
The maximum valve lift standard temperature for water control
valve is the reference value.
After checking the maximum valve lift, lower the water tempera-
ture and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard values:
If the malfunctioning condition, when closing valve at normal temperature, or measured values are out of
the standard, replace thermostat and/or water control valve.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to spill engine coolant over engine room. Use rag to absorb engine coolant.
Thermostat and Water Control Valve
Install thermostat and water control valve with the whole circum-
ference of each flange part fit securely inside rubber ring. (The
example in the figure shows thermostat.)
