RADIATOR
WARNING:
Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure engine
coolant escaping from radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a turn to
release built-up pressure. Carefully remove radiator cap by turning it all the way.
1. Remove the following parts:
Engine under cover.
Air duct (inlet): Refer to EM-26, "
Exploded View".
Horn: Refer to HRN-6, "
Exploded View".
Hood lock: Refer to DLK-220, "
Exploded View".
2. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-8, "
Draining".
CAUTION:
Perform this step when the engine is cold.
Never spill engine coolant on drive belt.
3. Disconnect reservoir tank hose from radiator pipe (upper).
4. Disconnect CVT fluid cooler hoses from radiator.
Install blind plug to avoid leakage of CVT fluid.
5. Disconnect Low-pressure flexible hose from lower pressure pipe, and then move it to aside. Refer to HA-
38, "Exploded View".
6. Remove radiator cap adapter and radiator hoses (upper) and radiator pipe (upper) assembly.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belt.
7. Disconnect radiator hose (lower) from radiator.
8. Remove condenser. Refer to HA-46, "
Exploded View".
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage condenser core.
9. Remove radiator upper clip (2) by pulling the tabs (A) outside to
release the lock (B) and then remove mounting rubbers (upper)
(1).
CAUTION:
Never pull the tabs outside excessively to prevent it from
damping.
10. Lift up and remove radiator from front of radiator core support.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage or scratch on radiator core.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and installation is the reverse order of removal.
Radiator Upper Clip
Install radiator upper clip on radiator core connection as follows:
1. Install mounting rubbers (upper) (1) on mounting pins (A) of radi-
ator.
2. Align radiator upper clip (2) with radiator core connection (B),
then insert radiator upper clip straight into radiator core connec-
tions until a click is heard.
3. After connecting radiator upper clip, use the following method to
check it is fully connected.
Visually confirm that two radiator upper clips are connected to
radiator core connections.
Move radiator upper clip and the radiator forward and backward to check they are securely connected.

b. Pull plunger stopper tab (A) up (or turn lever downward) so as to
remove plunger stopper tab from the ratchet of plunger (D).
NOTE:
Plunger stopper tab and lever (C) are synchronized.
c. Push plunger into the inside of tensioner body.
d. Hold plunger in the fully compressed position by engaging
plunger stopper tab with the tip of ratchet.
e. To secure lever, insert stopper pin (E) through hole of lever into
tensioner body hole (B).
The lever parts and the tab are synchronized. Therefore, the
plunger will be secured under this condition.
NOTE:
Figure shows the example of 1.2 mm (0.047 in) diameter thin screwdriver being used as the stopper pin.
f. Install timing chain tensioner (primary).
Remove dust and foreign material completely from backside of timing chain tensioner (primary) and
from installation area of rear timing chain case.
g. Remove stopper pin (A).
h. Check again that timing chain and water pump sprocket are engaged.
4. Install valve timing control cover (bank 1) and water pump cover as follows:
a. Before installing, remove all traces of old liquid gasket from mating surface of water pump cover using
scraper. Also remove traces of old liquid gasket from the mating surface of front timing chain case.
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket with the tube presser
(commercial service tool) to mating surface of water pump cover
(1).
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
CAUTION:
Attaching should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
c. Tighten mounting bolts.
5. Install water drain plug (front) on water pump side of cylinder block.
Apply liquid gasket to the thread of water drain plug (front).
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
6. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step.
After starting engine, let idle for three minutes, then rev engine up to 3,000 rpm under no load to
purge air from the high-pressure chamber of chain tensioner. Engine may produce a rattling
noise. This indicates that air still remains in the chamber and is not a matter of concern.
