COOLING SYSTEM TESTING

RADIATOR CAP INSPECTION
Remove the radiator cap (refer to the
"COOLANT REPLACEMENT" section
in this chapter).
Pressure test the radiator cap.
Replace the radiator cap if it does not hold
pressure, or if relief pressure is too high or
too low.
It must hold the specified pressure for at
least six seconds.
＊
Before installing the cap in the tester,
wet the sealing surface.
Radiator Cap Relief Pressure:
90 kPa (0.9 kg/cm
Pressurize the radiator, engine and hoses,
and check for leaks.
＊
Excessive pressure can damage the
cooling system components.
Do not exceed 105 kPa (1.05 kg/cm
14.9 psi).
Repair or replace components if the system
will not hold the specified pressure for at
least six seconds.
