CHECKING RADIATOR CAP

1. Inspect the radiator cap.

• Replace the cap if the metal plunger cannot be seen around the edge of the black rubber gasket.

• Replace the cap if deposits of waxy residue or other foreign material are on the black rubber gasket or

the metal retainer.

NOTE:

Thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue or foreign material.

2. Pull the negative-pressure valve to open it and check that it

closes completely when released.

• Check that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of the

radiator cap negative-pressure valve. 

• Check that there are no abnormalities in the opening and clos-

ing conditions of the negative-pressure valve.

3. Check radiator cap relief pressure using suitable tool (A/B).

• Apply water or engine coolant to the cap seal surface before

connecting the radiator cap to the tester. 

• Replace the radiator cap if there is an abnormality in the nega-

tive-pressure valve, or if the open-valve pressure is outside of

the standard values.

Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to bend or damage radiator fins.

• When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as radiator cooling fan

assembly and horns. Then tape harness and harness connectors to prevent water from entering.

1. Spray water to the back side of the radiator core using a side to side motion from the top down. 
2. Stop spraying when debris no longer flows from radiator core. 
3. Blow air into the back side of radiator core using a side to side motion from the top down.

• Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (5 kg/cm

2

, 71 psi) and keep distance more than 30 cm (11.8 in). 

4. Continue to blow air until no water sprays out.
5. Check for engine coolant leaks. Repair as necessary.

REMOVAL

WARNING:

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure

engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly push down and

turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by pushing it down

and turning it all the way.

NOTE:

When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-

ing.

.

4. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to 

CO-8, "Draining"

.

CAUTION:

• Perform this step when the engine is cold.

• Do not spill engine coolant on the drive belt.

5. Remove engine under cover. Refer to 

EXT-37, "ENGINE UNDER COVER : Removal and Installation"

.

6. Remove over fender. Refer to 

EXT-30, "FRONT OVER FENDER : Removal and Installation"

.

7. Remove front air spoiler. Refer to 

EXT-16, "Exploded View"

.

8. Remove fender protector side cover. Refer to

DLK-244, "Exploded View"

 (with intelligent key system) and

DLK-365, "Exploded View"

 (without intelligent key system).

10. Remove radiator hose (upper/lower) from radiator. Refer to 

CO-13, "Exploded View"

.

CAUTION:

Do not spill engine coolant on the drive belt.

11. Remove clamps from radiator hose (upper/lower), (if necessary).

WARNING:

Wear hand protection while applying heat to remove glue.

NOTE:

Radiator hoses have glued on clamps.

• Apply heat gun at glued location, usually located on the underside of the radiator hose (upper/lower), a

short distance from clamp.

• While applying heat, simultaneously wiggle or pressure the clamp tab gently until it can be removed
