MENT, Automatic Transmission Fluid.>

C: INSPECTION

1) Remove radiator cap, top off radiator, and attach
tester to radiator in place of cap.

2) Apply a pressure of 157 kPa (1.6 kg/cm

2

, 23 psi)

to radiator to check if:

(1) Engine coolant leaks at/around radiator.
(2) Engine coolant leaks at/around hoses or
connections.

CAUTION:
• Engine should be off.
• Wipe engine coolant from check points in ad-
vance.
• Be careful to prevent engine coolant from
spurting out when removing tester.
• Be careful also not to deform filler neck of ra-
diator when installing or removing tester.

RADIATOR CAP

8. Radiator Cap

A: INSPECTION

1) Attach radiator cap to tester.

2) Increase pressure until tester gauge pointer
stops. Radiator cap is functioning properly if it holds
the service limit pressure for five to six seconds.

Standard pressure:

93 — 123 kPa (0.95 — 1.25 kg/cm

2

, 14 — 18 

psi)

Service limit pressure:

83 kPa (0.85 kg/cm

2

, 12 psi)

CAUTION:
Be sure to remove foreign matter and rust from 
the cap in advance. Otherwise, results of pres-
sure test will be incorrect.
