ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. REMOVE RESERVOIR CAP
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the res-
ervoir cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as
fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
2. INSPECT RESERVOIR CAP
NOTICE:
S If the reservoir cap has contaminations, always rinse
it with water.
S Before using a radiator cap tester, wet the relief valve
and pressure valve with engine coolant or water.
S When performing steps (a) and (b) below, keep the ra-
diator cap tester at an angle of over 30˚ above the hor-
izontal.

(a) Using a radiator cap tester, slowly pump the tester and
Reservoir Cap Radiator Cap Tester
check that air is coming from the vacuum valve.
Pump speed: 1 push/(3 seconds or more)
NOTICE:
Push the pump at a constant speed.
30˚ or more If air is not coming from the vacuum valve, replace the reservoir
cap.
(b) Pump the tester and measure the relief valve opening
B08802 pressure.
Pump speed: 1 push within 1 seconds
NOTICE:
This pump speed is for the first pump only (in order to close
the vacuum valve). After this, the pump speed can be re-
duced.
Standard opening pressure:
93 − 123 kPa (0.95 − 1.25 kgf/cm2, 13.5 − 17.8 psi)
Minimum opening pressure:
79 kPa (0.8 kgf/cm2, 11.5 psi)
HINT:
Use the tester’s maximum reading as the opening pressure.
If the opening pressure is less than minimum, replace the reser-
voir cap.

COOLING − RADIATOR

3. INSPECT COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS


(a) Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator cap tes-
ter.
(b) Warm up the engine.
(c) Pump it to 118 kPa (1.2 kgf/cm2, 17.1 psi), and check that
the pressure does not drop.
If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator or water pump
Radiator Cap Tester for leaks. If no external leaks are found, check the heater core,
B08803 cylinder block and head.
4. REINSTALL RESERVOIR CAP
