| 1. |
Disconnect the battery negative
terminal. |
| 2. |
Remove the air cleaner assembly. (Refer to
Intake and exhaust system in this
group) |
| 3. |
Remove the under cover (A).
Tightening
torque:
6.9 ~ 10.8 N.m (0.7 ~ 1.1 kgf.m, 5.1 ~
8.0 lb-ft)
|
|
| 4. |
Loosen the drain plug (A), and drain the
coolant.
Remove the radiator cap to speed
draining.
|
Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Serious scalding could be caused by hot fluid
under high pressure escaping from the
radiator. | |
| 5. |
Disconnect the over flow hose (A) from the
radiator.
|
| 6. |
Remove the radiator upper hose (A) and the
lower hose (B).
|
Install the radiator hoses as shown
illustrations. |
|
| 7. |
Disconnect the fan motor connector
(A).
Tightening
torque:
8.8 ~ 10.8 N.m (0.9 ~ 1.1 kgf.m, 6.5 ~
7.9 lb-ft)
|
|
| 8. |
Disconnect the ATF cooler hoses (A). (Refer to
AT group)
|
| 9. |
Remove the front bumper. (Refer to BD
group) |
| 10. |
Remove the hood latch (A). (Refer to BD
group) |
| 11. |
Remove the rail (B) and the air guard
(C).
Tightening
torque
Rail bolts :
16.7 ~ 25.5 N.m (1.7 ~ 2.6 kgf.m, 12.3 ~
18.8 lb-ft)
Rail nuts :
3.9 ~ 5.9 N.m (0.4 ~ 0.6 kgf.m, 2.9 ~
4.3 lb-ft)
| |
| 12. |
Remove the upper cover (D) and the upper
mounting bracket (E).
Tightening
torque :
6.9 ~ 10.8 N.m (0.7 ~ 1.1 kgf.m, 5.1 ~
8.0 lb-ft)
|
|
| 13. |
Separate the condenser from the radiator and
then pull the radiator (A) upper from vehicle.
|
| 14. |
Remove the cooling fan & reservior tank
(A) from the radiator (B).
|
| 15. |
Installation is in the reverse order of
removal. |
| 16. |
Fill the radiator with coolant and check for
leaks.
| •
|
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 and let it cool
dwon. 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. | | |
Radiator Cap Testing
| 1. |
Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with
engine coolant, then install it to pressure tester.
|
| 2. |
Apply a pressure of 93 ~ 123kPa (0.95 ~
1.25kgf/cm², 14 ~ 19psi). |
| 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 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.
|
Check for engine oil in coolant and/or
coolant in engine oil.
