Protege DX L4-2.0L DOHC (2002)
Repair procedure
1. Before power flushing, inspect the hoses/lines and clamps. Power flushing must begin with back flushing followed by forward flushing to quickly
dislodge the restriction.
^
If back flushing is not performed before forward flushing, the restriction could further reduce the ATF flow through the internal mesh type
baffle of the cooler and flushing will not be effective or possible.
Inspecting oil lines & clamps
1. Be sure to inspect the lines (hoses/pipes) for cuts, crimps (pinched), cracks or any other damage before reusing them.
^
If any problems exist, replace hoses and/or pipes.
Caution:
^
Always use new clamps when replacing hoses.
Back flushing
1. Using the power flushing equipment manufacturer's instructions, connect equipment so the flushing fluid flows in the opposite direction of normal
fluid flow.
2. Flush oil cooler/lines until discharge fluid is clean.
Caution:
^
If the cooler can not be properly flushed using recommended equipment, send the radiator out for sublet cleaning or replace.
Forward flushing
1. Connect power flushing equipment so the flushing fluid flows in the direction of normal fluid flow.
2. Flush oil cooler/lines until discharge fluid is clean.
