Removal and Installation
1.

Disconnect the battery terminals.

2.

Remove the air cleaner assembly.

(Refer to Intake And Exhaust System - "Air Cleaner")

3.

Remove the under cover.

(Refer to Engine And Transaxle Assembly - "Engine Room Under Cover")

4.

Loosen the drain plug, and drain the coolant.

Remove the radiator cap to speed draining.

5.

Remove the front bumper.

(Refer to Body - "Front Bumper")

6.

Remove the radiator upper hose(A) and lowr hose(B).

7.

Disconnect the fan motor connector (A).

8.

Remove the air intake shield(A).

9.

Remove the upper air guard(A) and radiator over flow hose(B).

10.

Remove the horn.

(Refer to Body Electrical System - "Horn")

11.

Remove the upper bracket(A) and air guard(B).

Tightening torque:

7.8 ~ 11.7 N.m (0.8 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 5.7 ~ 8.6 lb-ft)

12.

Separate the condenser(A) from the radiato(B)r and then remove the radiator assembly.

13.

Install in the reverse order of removal.

14.

Fill the radiator with coolant and check for leaks.

note

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.

Inspection
Radiator Cap Testing
1.

Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine coolant, and then install it on a pressure tester.

2.

Apply a pressure of 79.4 ~ 122.58 kPa (0.95 ~ 1.25 kgf/cm², 11.5 ~ 17.78 psi).

3.

Check for a drop in pressure.

4.

If the pressure drops, replace the cap.

Radiator Leakage Test
1.

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.

2.

Apply a pressure tester to the radiator and apply a pressure of 93.16 ~ 122.58 kPa (0.95 ~ 1.25 kgf/cm², 13.51 ~ 17.78 psi).

3.

Inspect for engine coolant leaks and a drop in pressure.

4.

Remove the tester and reinstall the radiator cap.

note

Check for engine oil in coolant and/or coolant in engine oil.
