1. |
Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
|
2. |
Remove the air cleaner assembly.
(Refer to Intake and exhaust system - "Air Cleaner")
|
3. |
Remove the battery tray.
(Refer to Engine Electrical System - "Battery")
|
4. |
Disconnect the over flow hose (A) from the radiator.
|
5. |
Loosen the drain plug, and drain the engine coolant. Remove the radiator
cap to drain with speed.
|
6. |
Disconnect the radiator upper hose (A) and lower hose (B).
|
7. |
Disconnect the hose (B) after removing the automatic transaxle fluid
cooler hose clamp (A).
|
8. |
Remove the front bumper.
(Refer to Body - "Front Bumper")

|
11. |
Separate the condenser from the radiator and then pull the radiator
(A) upper from vehicle.
|
12. |
Remove the cooling fan & reservior tank (A) from the radiator (B).
|
13. |
Installation is reverse order of removal.
|
14. |
Fill the radiator with coolant and check for leaks.
|
15. |
Put the radiator cap on tightly, then run engine again and check for
leaks.
|
Inspection |
1. |
Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine coolant, and then
install it on a pressure tester.
|
2. |
Apply a pressure of 93.16 ~ 122.58kpa (0.95 ~ 1.25kg/cm², 13.51 ~ 17.78psi).
|
3. |
Check for a drop in pressure.
|
4. |
If the pressure drops, replace the cap.
|
1. |
Wait until engine is cool, then carefully remove the radiator cap and
fill the radiator with engine coolant, then install a pressure tester
on it.
|
2. |
Apply a pressure of 93 ~ 123kPa (0.95 ~ 1.25kgf/cm², 14 ~ 19psi).
|
3. |
Inspect for engine coolant leaks and a drop in pressure.
|
4. |
If the pressure drops, check hoses, the radiator and the water pump
for leakage. If there is no leakage, inspect the heater core, the cylinder
block and the cylinder head.
|
5. |
Remove the tester and reinstall the radiator cap.
