Coolant: Testing and Inspection

Inspection
LEVEL CHECK





^ Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the "MIN" to "MAX" when engine is cool.
^ Adjust the engine coolant level as necessary.

LEAK CHECK





^ To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system with radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) and radiator cap tester adapter (SST).
Testing pressure: 157 kPa (1.6 kgf-cm2, 23 psi)

WARNING: Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from thermostat housing.

CAUTION: Higher testing pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.

NOTE: In a case engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.

^ If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
