Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine coolant, then install it no pressure tester.
Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine coolant, then install it no pressure tester.
Apply a pressure of 93.16 ~ 122.58kPa (0.95 ~ 1.25kg/cm², 13.51 ~ 17.78psi).
Check for a drop in pressure.
If the pressure drops, replace the cap.
Wait until engine is cool, then carefully remove the radiator cap and fill the radiator with engine coolant, then install it on the pressure tester.
Apply a pressure tester to the radiator and apply a pressure of 93.16 ~ 122.58kPa (0.95 ~ 1.25kg/cm², 13.51 ~ 17.78psi).
Inspect for engine coolant leaks and a drop in pressure.
Remove the tester and reinstall the radiator cap.
Check for engine oil in the coolant and/or coolant in the engine oil.
Disconnect the battery terminal. (Refer to Engine and transaxle assembly in this group)
Remove the air cleaner assembly. (Refer to Engine and transaxle assembly in this group)
Remove the battery and battery tray. (Refer to Engine and transaxle assembly in this group)
Remove the under cover. (Refer to Engine and transaxle assembly in this group)
Loosen the drain plug, and drain the coolant. Remove the radiator cap to drain with speed.
Disconnect the over flow hose (A) from the filler neck.
Disconnect the radiator upper hose (A) and lower hose (B).
Install the radiator hoses as shown illustrations.
Disconnect the ATF cooler hoses (A/T only). (Refer to AT group)
Disconnect the fan motor connector (A).
Remove the front bumper. (Refer to BD group)
Remove the radiator upper bracket.
Disconnect the horn connectors (B)
Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor (C).
Remove the hood switch (D).
Remove the brackets (E).
Diaconnect the hood ratchet cable. (Refer to BD group)
Remove the radiator upper bracket (A).
Separate the condenser from the radiator and then remove the radiator assembly (A).
Remove the cooling fan (A) from the radiator.
Tightening torque :
3.9 ~ 5.9N.m (0.4 ~ 0.6kgf.m, 2.9 ~ 4.3lb-ft)
Installation is reverse order of removal.
Fill the radiator with coolant and check for leaks.
Bleed air from the cooling system
Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.)
Turn Off engine. Check the coolant level and add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the cooling system.
Put the radiator cap on tightly, then run engine again and check for leaks.
