Inspection

NBS004RE

LEVEL CHECK

Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the
“MIN” to “MAX” when engine is cool.

Adjust the engine coolant level as necessary.

LEAK CHECK

To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system with
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) (A) and radiator
cap tester adapter (commercial service tool) (B).

WARNING:

Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant
escaping from thermostat housing.

CAUTION:

Higher testing pressure than specified may cause radiator
damage.

NOTE:
In a case engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.

If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.

Changing Engine Coolant

NBS004RF

WARNING:

To avoid being scalded, do not change engine coolant when engine is hot.

Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove radiator cap. First, turn radiator cap a
quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn radiator cap all the way.

DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT

1.

Remove engine room cover (RH and LH). Refer to 

EM-173, "ENGINE ROOM COVER"

 .

2.

Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to 

EM-179, "INTAKE MANIFOLD"

 .

3.

Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and then
remove radiator cap. 

When draining all of engine coolant in the system, open
water drain plugs on cylinder block. Refer to 

EM-253, "DIS-

ASSEMBLY"

 .

4.

Remove reservoir tank as necessary, and drain engine coolant
and clean reservoir tank before installing.

5.

Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration. If contaminated,
flush the engine cooling system. Refer to 

CO-42, "FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM"

 .

REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT

1.

Install reservoir tank if removed, and radiator drain plug.
