Cooling - Cooling syste2. Check engine coolant level in reservoir.Engine coolant level should be between “Low” and “Full” mark line.
Hint: if the level is too low, check there is leakage and refill coolant to “Full” mark line.3. Check engine coolant quality.(a) Remove radiator cap.
Warning: when the temperature of engine and radiator is high, do not remove radiator cap to
avoid being scalded, because coolant and steam will spurt under high pressure.
(b) Check there is too much rust deposit around radiator cap or at outlet and check there is flake; there
should not be oil in the coolant.
Hint: if coolant is too dirty, it is required to replace coolant.
(c) Install back radiator cap.Inspection1. Temperature regulatorHint: the figure on temperature regulator is the
opening temperature of valve.CoolingCooling systemOn-vehicle inspection1. Check there is leakage with cooling system.Warning: when the temperature of engine and radiator is
high, do not remove radiator cap to avoid be-
ing scalded, because coolant and steam will
spurt under high pressure.
(a) Refill coolant to radiator, and install radiator cap tester.
(b) Preheat engine.
(c) Pump tester to make pressure go up to 118KPa, and check
the pressure falls.
Hint: if the pressure falls, check there is leakage with
hose, radiator or water pump, and check heater,
cylinder body and cylinder head if no external leak-
age is found.66

LubricationLubricating systemOn-vehicle inspection1. Check oil level.During engine warming up and after it flames out for 5 minutes, check oil level, and the level should
be between two marks on oil dipstick at the moment.If oil level is too low, check there is leakage, and
refill oil up to upper mark on oil dipstick.
Note: oil level should not be above upper mark on oil
dipstick.2. Check oil quality.(a) Check there is deterioration, water penetration, color
change or thinning with oil.
(b) If oil quality becomes poor, please replace with new oil.
Hint: oil grades: API, SH, SJ, SG grade oil or ILSAC
multigrade oil. Recommended viscosity is
shown as below.
The temperature increases from left to right.3. Remove oil pressure alerter assembly.(a) Uncouple oil pressure alerter joint.
(b) Install oil pressure alerter with special tool.4. Install oil pressure gauge.Install oil pressure gauge.5. Warm up vehicle.

Power steering--Poser steering system
Inspection on automobile
1. Check driving belt
(a) Check whether the belt has been abraded too much with eyes, and rope is broken.
If finding any defect, change the driving belt.
Hint: Some light crack at the side of belt rib could be approved, but if belt has any crack from
its rib, it is necessary to change.
2. Exhaust air of power steering system
(a) Check the oil level.
(b) Lift up automobile body, and support it with bracket.
(c) Turn steering wheel.
(1) Turn steering wheel slowly from left and right to bottom for several times when engine extinguishes.
(d) Lay down the automobile.
(e) Start the engine to make it run at idling speed for several minutes.
(f) Rotate steering wheel.
(1) Keep engine at idling speed, and turn the steering wheel from left or right to bottom and keep this
state for 2-3 seconds, then turn it to the other direction for 2-3 seconds.
(2) Repeat (1) for several times.
(g) Engine extinguishes.
(h) Check whether there is any foam or emulsification
phenomenon.
If there is any foam or emulsification phenomenon and
it is necessary to exhaust air second time, it is necessary
to check whether the system has any leakage.
(i) Check the oil level.
3. Check the oil level
(a) Keep automobile horizontal.
(b) Extinguish the engine, and check the oil level of oil stor-
age tank.
If oil level is too low, add oil.
Power steering oil: automatic transmission oil
DEXRON’’ II or III
Hint: check whether the oil level is in the HOT mark
scope of oil storage tank, if oil is cool, check the
oil level is in COLD mark scope.
(c) Start the engine, and keep it at idling speed.
(d) Turn steering wheel from left bottom to right bottom for
several times to make oil temperature increase.
