ENGINE COOLANT : Draining Engine Coolant
INFOID:0000000012432253
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure
engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a th ick cloth around the cap. Slowly push down and
turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by pushing it down
and turning it all the way.
1. Remove front under cover. Refer to EXT-39, "
FRONT UNDER COVER : Removal and Installation".
2. Connect a suitable hose to the radiator drain plug. • Use a suitable hose with the dimensions as shown.
3. Open radiator drain plug (A) at the bottom of radiator, and then remove radiator cap.
(B): Suitable hose
: Front
CAUTION:
• Perform this step when engine is cold.
• Do not spill engine coolant on the drive belt.
4. It is necessary to drain the cylinder block when drai ning all of engine coolant in the system. To drain the
cylinder block, open the water drain plugs on cylinder block. Refer to EM-93, "
Exploded View".
5. Remove reservoir tank if necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing. Refer to CO-13, "
Exploded View".
6. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration. If contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to MA-18, "
ENGINE COOLANT : Flushing Cooling System".

1. Install the radiator drain plug. Install the reservoir tank and cylinder block drain plug, if removed for a total
system drain or for engine removal or repair.
• The radiator must be completely empty of engine coolant and water.
• Apply sealant to the threads of the cylinder block drain plug. Use Genuine High Performance
Thread Sealant or equivalent. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
2. If disconnected, reattach the upper radiator hose at the engine side.
3. Set the vehicle heater controls to the full HOT and heat er ON position. Turn the vehicle ignition ON with
the engine OFF as necessary to activate the heater mode. Diameter (A) : 0.8 mm (0.31 in)
Length (B) : 300 mm (11.81 in)

4. Install the Tool by installing the radiator cap adapter onto the
radiator neck opening. Then attach the gauge body assembly
with the refill tube and the venturi assembly to the radiator cap
adapter.
5. Insert the refill hose into the engine coolant mixture container that is placed at floor level. Make sure the ball valve is in the
closed position.
•Use recommended engine coolant or equivalent.
Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
CAUTION:
Do not use any cooling system additives such as radiator
sealer. Additives may clog the cooling system and cause
damage to the engine, transmission and/or cooling system.
6. Install an air hose to the venturi assembly, the air pressure must be within specification.
CAUTION:
The compressed air supply must be equipped with an air dryer.
7. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and there will be an audible hissing noise. During this process open the ball valve on the refill hose slightly. Engine coolant will be visible rising in the refill hose. Once the refill
hose is full of engine coolant, close the ball valve. This will purge any air trapped in the refill hose.
8. Continue to draw the vacuum until the gauge reaches 28 inches of vacuum. The gauge may not reach 28 inches in high altitude
locations, use the vacuum specifications based on the altitude
above sea level.
9. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specified amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds
to see if the system loses any vacuum. If the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the
system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to br ing the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck for any leaks.
10. Place the engine coolant container (with the refill hose in serted) at the same level as the top of the radia-
tor. Then open the ball valve on the refill hose so the engine coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling sys-
tem. The cooling system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the engine coolant co ntainer to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn
into the cooling system.
11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening.
12. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specif ied level and install the radiator cap. Run the engine to
warm up the cooling system and top up the system as necessary.
13. Install the front under cover. Refer to EXT-39, "
FRONT UNDER COVER : Removal and Installation".

1. Install radiator drain plug and reservoir tank, if removed.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.
2. If water drain plugs on cylinder block were removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-93, "
Exploded
View".
3. Remove air duct from between air cleaner case and electric throttle control actuator. Refer to EM-26,
"Removal and Installation".
4. Disconnect heater hose (1) at location ( ) as shown. • Position heater hose as high as possible.

5. Fill radiator until engine coolant flows out of the disconnected heater hose and then reconnect the heater
hose.
6. Finish filling the engine and reservoir tank with water and reinstall the radiator cap.
7. Install air duct in between air cleaner case and electric throttle control actuator. Refer to EM-26, "
Removal
and Installation".
8. Run the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
9. Rev the engine two or three times under no-load.
10. Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.
11. Drain water from the system. Refer to MA-16, "
ENGINE COOLANT : Draining Engine Coolant".
12. Repeat steps 1 through 11 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.

1. Loose harness or harness connectors.
2. Front console map/reading lamp lens loose.
3. Loose screws at console attachment points.
SEATS
When isolating seat noise it's important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditions should be duplicated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. The rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of thes e incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component installed to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator installation pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine rpm or
load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.
