Test on the filler cap

Hermetically seal the filler cap, apply water and
pressure to the filler cap. Replace it with new one
if found failing to maintain the specified pressure
within a given time limit, or the opening pressure is
too high or too low. The specified pressure shall
be maintained at least for 6 seconds in the test
Relief pressure for the filler cap: 0.9-0.15
2
kgf/cm
Apply pressure to the radiator, engine and water
hose to check for any leakage
Caution
Pressure which is too high may damage the
radiator. Never use pressure which exceeds
2
1.05 kg/cm .
If the system fails to maintain the specified
pressure for at least 6 seconds, repair or replace
