dislodge all foreign particles from the gaskets. Check the sealing surface in the filler neck. 6. If 89 kPa (13 psi) cannot be reached, install a new pressure relief cap. If more than 124 kPa (18 psi) shows on gauge, install a new pressure relief cap. 7. Pressurize the engine cooling system as described in Step 4 (using a pressure relief cap that operates within the specified upper and lower pressure limits). Observe the gauge reading for approximately two 8. Release the system pressure by loosening the pressure relief cap. Check the engine coolant level and replenish, if necessary, with the correct engine coolant mixture. For additional information, refer to CAP - PRESSURE RELIEF 1. Inspect the pressure relief cap and seals for damage or deterioration. Install a new pressure relief cap if necessary. 2. Fit the pressure relief cap to Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester Kit using the aftermarket adapter. 3. Slowly pump the pressure tester until the pressure gauge stops increasing and note the highest pressure reading. Release pressure and repeat test. Install a new pressure relief cap if the pressure is not 99.3-121.4 THERMOSTAT A new water thermostat should be installed only after the following electrical and mechanical tests have been CAUTION: If the pressure drops, check for leaks at the engine to heater core hoses, engine-to-radiator hoses, water valve hose (if applicable), oil WARNING: Never remove the pressure relief cap while the engine is operating NOTE: If the plunger of the pressure tester is depressed too fast, an incorrect
