Inspection |
1. |
Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine coolant, then install it to pressure tester. |
2. |
Apply a pressure of 93 ~ 123kPa (0.95 ~ 1.25kgf/cmx, 14 ~ 19psi). |
3. |
Check for a drop in pressure. |
4. |
If the pressure drops, replace the cap. |
1. |
Wait until engine is cool, then carefully remove the radiator
cap and fill the radiator with engine coolant, then install a pressure
tester (A) on it. |
2. |
Apply a pressure of 93 ~ 123kPa (0.95 ~ 1.25kgf/cmx, 14 ~ 19psi). |
3. |
Inspect for engine coolant leaks and a drop in pressure. |
4. |
If the pressure drops, check hoses, the radiator and the
water pump for leakage. If there is no leakage, inspect the heater core,
the cylinder block and the cylinder head. |
5. |
Remove the tester and reinstall the radiator cap.
|
Removal |
System is under high pressure when the engine is hot. To
avoid danger of releasing scalding engine coolant, remove the cap only
when the engine is cool. |
1. |
Disconnect the negative terminal (A) from the battery.
|
2. |
Remove the engine room cover (A), engine cover (B) and radiator grill upper cover (C). |
3. |
Loosen the drain plug (A) and drain the engine coolant. Remove the radiator cap (B) to speed draining.
|
4. |
Remove the air cleaner assembly.
|
5. |
Disconnect the radiator upper hose (A) and lower hose (B). |
6. |
Disconnect the ATF cooler hoses (A). |
7. |
Disconnect the fan motor connector (A). If necessary, loosen the fuse box fixing bolt for your convenience. |
8. |
Remove the radiator mounting brackets (A). |
9. |
Remove the radiator & condenser mounting bolts (B).
|
10. |
Remove the radiator & cooling fan assembly from the vehicle. |
11. |
Installation is reverse order of removal.
Fill the radiator with coolant and check for leaks. |
