Engine Coolant System Check

Check the engine coolant system for leakage.
1. With the radiator properly filled, install a cooling
system tester (Figure 8-3, (1)).
Figure 8-3
2. Apply 10.8-14.8 psi (75-105 kPa; 0.75-1.05
kgf/cm²) to the cooling system. If the pressure
reading drops, the engine coolant system is
leaking. Identify the source of the leak and repair
it.

Removal of Engine Coolant Pump

Verify the condition of the engine coolant pump
before disassembling it from the engine. Check the
engine coolant pump shaft bearing for abnormal
noise, sticking, excessive play and water leakage.
Replace the coolant pump if any of these conditions
are present.
CAUTION
If the engine coolant pump must be replaced,
replace the engine coolant pump as an
assembly only. Do not attempt to repair the
engine coolant pump or replace individual
components.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the engine and engine coolant are
not hot.
