2007 ISUZU KB P190 radiator cap

ENGINE COOLING 6B – 9
• After tightening radiator cap, warm up the engine at about
2000 rpm. Set heater adjustment to the highest temperature
position, and let the coolant circulate also into heater wate
r
system.
• Check to see the thermostat has opened through the
needle position of water thermometer, conduct a 5–minute
idling again and stop the engine.
• W hen the engine has been cooled, check filler neck fo
r
water level and replenish if required. Should extreme
shortage of coolant is found, check the cooling system and
reservoir tank hose for leakage.
• Pour coolant into the reservoir tank up to “MAX" line.

Inspection and Repair
Make the necessary adjustments, repairs, and part
replacements if excessive wear or damage is discovered
during inspection.


Radiator Cap
Measure the valve opening pressure of the pressurizing valve
with a radiator filler cap tester.
Replace the cap if the valve opening pressure is outside the
standard range.

Cap tester: 5–8840–0277–0
Adapter: 5–8840–2603–0
Check the condition of the vacuum valve in the center of the
valve seat side of the cap. If considerable rust or dirt is found,
or if the valve seat cannot be moved by hand, clean or replace
the cap.

Radiator Core
1. A bent fin may result in reduced ventilation and overheating
may occur. All bent fins must be straightened. Pay close
attention to the base of the fin when it is being straightened.
2. Remove all dust, bugs and other foreign material.

Flushing the Radiator
Thoroughly wash the inside of the radiator and the engine
coolant passages with cold water and mild detergent. Remove
all signs of scale and rust.

Cooling System Leakage Check
Use a radiator cap tester to force air into the radiator through
the filler neck at the specified pressure of 196 kPa (28.5 psi)
with a cap tester:
• Leakage from the radiator
• Leakage from the coolant pump
• Leakage from the water hoses

Radiator
The radiator is a tube type with corrugated fins. In order
to raise the boiling point of the coolant, the radiator is
fitted with a cap in which the valve is operated at 93.3 -
122.7 kPa (0.95 - 1.25 kg / cm
2 / 13.5 - 17.8 psi)
pressure. (No oil cooler provided for M/T)

ENGINE COOLING (4JK1/4JJ1) 6B-7
Draining and Refilling Cooling System
Before draining the cooling system, inspect the system
and perform any necessary service to ensure that it is
clean, does not leak and is in proper working order.
The engine coolant (EC) level should be between the
“MIN" and “MAX" lines of the reserve tank when the
engine is cold. If low, check for leakage and add EC up
to the “MAX" line.
There should not be any excessive deposit of rust o
r
scales around the radiator cap or radiator filler hole, and
the EC should also be free from oil.
Replace the EC if excessively dirty.

1. Remove the radiator skid plate.
2. Completely drain the cooling system by opening the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator.




RTW 56BSH000301
3. Remove the radiator cap.
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not
remove the cap while the engine and radiator are
still hot. Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out
under pressure.
4. Disconnect all hoses from the EC reserve tank.
Scrub and clean the inside of the reserve tank with soap and water. Flush it well with clean water,
then drain it. Install the reserve tank and hoses.

5. Refill the cooling system with the EC using a
solution that is at least 50 percent antifreeze.

Procedure for filling with coolant (in case of full change).
• Make sure that the engine is cool.
• Open radiator cap and pour coolant up to fille
r
neck.
• Pour coolant into reservoir tank up to “MAX" line.
• Tighten radiator cap and start the engine. Afte
r
idling for 2 to 3 minutes, stop the engine and
reopen the radiator cap. If the water level is lower,
replenish.
WARNING:
When the coolant is heated to a high temperature,
be sure not to loosen or remove the radiator cap.
Otherwise you might get scalded by hot vapor o
r
boiling water. To open the radiator cap, put a piece
of thick cloth on the cap and loosen the cap slowly
to reduce the pressure when the coolant has
become cooler.
• After tightening the radiator cap, warm up the
engine at about 2000 rpm. Set heater adjustment
to the highest temperature position, and let the
coolant circulate also into heater water system.
• Check to see the thermostat has opened through
the needle position of the water thermometer,
conduct a 5–minute idling again and stop the
engine.
• W hen the engine has been cooled, check fille
r
neck for water level and replenish if required.
Should extreme shortage of coolant be found,
check the cooling system and reservoir tank hose
for leakage.
• Pour coolant into the reservoir tank up to “MAX"
line.
