Pressure Testing






1. Remove the radiator cap.
2. Connect a radiator cap tester and the SST to the radiator filler neck.
3. Apply 102 kPa (14.9 psi) pressure to the system.

CAUTION: Applying more than 102 kPa (14.9 psi) can damage the hoses, fittings, and other components, and cause leaks.

4. Verify that the pressure is held. If not, check the system for coolant leakage.
