Inspection Procedure 1
DIAGNOSISSTEP 1. Check For Coolant Leaks.
WARNING: When pressure testing the cooling system, slowly release cooling system pressure to avoid getting burned by hot coolant.
CAUTION:
- Be sure to completely clean away any moisture from the places checked.
- When the tester is removed, be careful not to spill any coolant from it.
- When installing and removing the tester and when testing, be careful not to deform the filler neck of the radiator.
1. Check that the coolant level is up to the filler neck. Install a radiator cap tester and apply 160 kPa (23 psi) pressure, and then check for leakage from the radiator hose or connections.
2. If there is leakage, repair or replace the appropriate part. Then go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check Symptoms.
Confirm that there are no coolant leaks.
