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

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.


033R300001
Visually inspect for damage, leak (sillicon 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.
If the fan clutch rotates more readily, however, this indicates that the silicone grease is leaking internally.
Replace the fan clutch with a new one.



033RY00011
2. Inspection (in unit)
W arm up the bimetal of the fan clutch by using the heat
gun until the temperature gets to about 80 °C when
measured with the thermistor. Then confirm that the fan
clutch can be turned with considerable effort (clutch
torque).
If the fan clutch retates more readily at this time, this
indicates that the silicone grease is leaking internally.
Replace the fan clutch with a new one.
