Coolant: Testing and Inspection
ENGINE COOLANT LEAK CHECK
WARNING: When pressure testing the cooling system, slowly release cooling system pressure to avoid getting burned by hot coolant.
CAUTION:
-
Be sure to completely clean away any moisture from the places checked.
-
When the tester is taken out, 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.
1. Check that the coolant level is up to the filler neck. Install a radiator cap tester and apply 160 kPa (23 psi) pressure, and then check for leakage
from the radiator hose or connections.
2. If there is leakage, repair or replace the appropriate part.
