Inspection |
Radiator Cap Testing
1. |
Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine coolant, and then install it on a pressure tester.
|
2. |
Apply a pressure of 93.2 - 122.6 kPa (0.95-1.25 kgf/cm², 13.51-17.78 psi). |
3. |
Check for a drop in pressure. |
4. |
If the pressure drops, replace the cap. |
Radiator Leakage Test
1. |
Wait until engine is cool, then carefully remove the radiator cap and fill the radiator with engine coolant, then install it on the pressure tester. |
2. |
Apply a pressure tester to the radiator and apply a pressure of 93.16 - 122.58 kPa (0.95 - 1.25 kgf/cm², 13.51 - 17.78 psi).
|
3. |
Inspect for engine coolant leaks and a drop in pressure. |
4. |
Remove the tester and reinstall the radiator cap.
