RADIATOR
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
Minimize the lift of A/C condenser to prevent load from being applied to A/C piping.
e. After removing the radiator, place the A/C condenser on the radiator core support to prevent load from
being applied to piping. And then, temporarily secure them using a rope to prevent them from being
dropped.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check for leaks of engine coolant using the radiator cap tester adapter [SST: EG17650301 (J33984-A)]
and the radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-11, "
LEAK CHECK" .
Start and warm up the engine. Visually make sure that there is no leaks of engine coolant and A/T fluid.
Checking Radiator CapNBS004QU
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
close completely 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 RadiatorNBS004QV
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.
Be careful not to bend or damage radiator fins.

4. Make sure that the rim is completely crimped down.
5. Make sure that there is no leakage. Refer to CO-21, "
INSPECTION" .
INSPECTION
1. Apply pressure with the radiator cap tester adapter (SST) and
the radiator cap tester (commercial service tool).
WAR NING :
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)

3. Remove cooling fan mounting nuts, and then remove the cooling fan (RH and LH).
4. Remove fan motor (RH and LH).
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Cooling Fan
Inspect cooling fan for crack or unusual bend.
If anything is found, replace cooling fan.
ASSEMBLY
Note the following, and assemble in the reverse order of disassembly.
CAUTION:
RH and LH cooling fans are different. Be careful not to misassemble them.
Install each fan in the following position.
Secure the sub-harness tightly to the fan shroud to prevent the fan rotation area from being loose. Right side : 4 fans
Left side : 5 fans
