Coolant: Testing and Inspection

LEVEL INSPECTION
1. Remove the radiator cap.
2. Verify that the coolant level is near the radiator filler neck.
3. Verify that the coolant level on the dipstick is between the F and L marks.
4. Add coolant as necessary.

LEAKAGE INSPECTION
1. Inspect the coolant level.
2. Remove the radiator cap.
3. Connect a radiator cap tester and the SST to the radiator filler neck.

CAUTION: Applying more than 103 kPa {14.9 psi} can damage the hoses, fittings, and other components, and cause leakage.





4. Apply pressure to the radiator.

Pressure:
103 kPa {1.05 kgf/cm2, 14.9 psi}

5. Verify that the pressure is held. If not, inspect for coolant leakage.
