Important!
Do not loosen or open the radiator cap when coolant is hot.
Doing so may cause hot water or steam to splash out, resulting
in burn. W hen opening the radiator cap, be sure to confirm the
coolant is cold. Cover a thick cloth over the cap and loosen it
slowly to reduce pressure, then open the cap.
6. Close the radiator cap firmly and run the engine at approx. 2000 rpm. In addition, set the heater temperature
adjuster to the max position to circulate coolant in the
heater conduit system.
7. Confirm that the temperature gauge reads half or more of full scale and that the thermostat is activated.
Then continue idling 5 minutes more and switch off the
engine, and allow it to cool.
8. After the engine cools down, check the coolant level and refill it if necessary. W hen the level is lowered extremely,
check the coolant conduit system and reservoir hose for
leak.
9. Pour coolant into the reservoir to MAX level.






Refill Coolant
Important!
After closing the cooling system, let engine run warm until
thermostat opens (coolant approx. 92 °C/197.6F)

Inspection
Coolant level
Allow engine to cool. If necessary, refill coolant.

Check that cooling system self-bleeds during engine warming-
up phase.

6B-4 ENGINE COOLING

Antifreeze Solution
• Calculating mixing ratio
Mixing ratio

= Antifreeze solution (Lit/gal.)
Antifreeze solution (Lit/gal.) + W ater (Lit/gal.)

NOTE: Antifreeze solution + W ater = Total cooling system
capacity.
• Total Cooling System Capacity
8Lit


• Mixing ratio
Check the specific gravity of engine coolant in the cooling system temperature ranges from 0 °C to 50 °C using a
suction type hydrometer, then determine the density of the
engine coolant by referring to the table.

NOTE: The LLC is 50% at all environment in order to prevent
the corrosion of cooling system parts.

6B-6 ENGINE COOLING

















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
level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" lines of reserve
tank when the engine is cold. If low, check for leakage and add
engine coolant up to the "MAX" line. There should not be any
excessive deposit of rust or scales around the radiator cap or
radiator filler hole, and the engine coolant should also be free
from oil.
Replace the engine coolant if excessively dirty.
1. Completely drain the cooling system by opening the drain
plug at the bottom of the radiator.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect all hoses from the engine coolant 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.
4. Refill the cooling system with the engine coolant using a solution that is at least 50 percent antifreeze.
5. Fill the radiator to the base of the filler neck.
Fill the engine coolant reserve tank to "MAX" line when the engine is cold.
6. Block the drive wheels and firmly apply the parking brake and place the shift lever in the "NEUTRAL" position.
7. Remove the radiator cap. Start the engine and warm it up at 2,500 - 3,000 rpm for about 30 minutes.
8. W hen the air comes out from the radiator filler neck and the engine coolant level has gone down, replenish with the
engine coolant. Repeat this procedure until the engine
coolant level does not go down. Then stop the engine and
install the radiator cap. Let the engine cool down.
9. After the engine has cooled, replenish with engine coolant up to the "MAX" line of the reserve tank.
10. Start the engine. W ith the engine running at 3,000 rpm, make sure there is no running water sound from the heate
r
core (behind the center console).
11. If the running water sound is heard, repeat steps 8 to 10.

Fan Clutch with Cooling Fan
Inspection and Repair
Make necessary correction or parts replacement if wear,
damage or any other abnormal condition are found through
inspection.

Visually inspect for damage, leak (silicon grease) or other
abnormal conditions.
1. Inspection (on-vehicle)
1) Turn the fan clutch by hand when in a low temperature condition before starting the engine, and confirm that it
can be turned readily.
2) Start the engine to warm it up until the temperature at the fan clutch portion gets to around 80 °C. Then stop the
engine and confirm that the fan clutch can be turned with
considerable effort (clutch torque) when turned by hand.

6B-12 ENGINE COOLING


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.
Valve opening pressure kPa (psi) 88.3 – 103.0
(13.5 – 15.7)
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.
Valve opening vacuum kPa (psi) 1.9 - 4.9
(0.28 - 0.71)



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 sign 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
• Check the rubber hoses for swelling.
Cap tester: 5-8840-0277-0
Adapter: 5-8840-2603-0
