Radiator: Testing and Inspection
1. Wait until radiator is cool (less than 38°C, 100°F). Loosen radiator cap.
2. Confirm that the coolant level is up to the filler neck.
3. Install a suitable pressure tester to the radiator filler neck and apply 139.3 kPa (19.9 psi) pressure. Maintain pressure for two minutes, while
checking for leakage from the radiator hoses or connections.
WARNING: Radiator coolant may be extremely hot. Do not open the system while it is hot, or scalding water could spray out causing
personal injury. Allow vehicle to be cooled down before servicing this system.
CAUTION: Be sure to completely clean away any moisture from the places checked. When the tester is removed, be careful not to spill any
coolant from it. Be careful, when installing and removing the tester and when testing, not to deform the filler neck of the radiator.
4. If there is leakage, repair or replace the appropriate part.
