NOTE:

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

ing.

REMOVAL

1. Remove the engine under cover (without off road package) or skid plate (with off road package). Refer to

EXT-15, "Removal and Installation"

2. Drain engine coolant from the radiator. Refer to

CO-11, "Changing Engine Coolant"

3. Disconnect water hoses from the oil cooler.

CAUTION:

Do not spill engine coolant on the drive belt.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse O-ring.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Oil Cooler

Check oil cooler for cracks. Check oil cooler for clogging by blowing compressed air through engine coolant

inlet. If necessary, replace oil cooler assembly.

Relief Valve

Inspect relief valve for movement, cracks and breaks by pushing the ball. If replacement is necessary, remove

the valve by prying it out using a suitable tool. Install a new valve by tapping it in place.

INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal, paying attention to the following:

• Confirm that no foreign objects are adhering to the sealing sur-

faces of the oil cooler or oil pan.

• Tighten the connector bolt after aligning the protrusion of the oil

cooler with the stopper on the oil pan (upper).

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required

quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to

MA-15, "FOR NORTH AMERICA : Fluids and Lubricants"

(United

States and Canada) or

MA-16, "FOR MEXICO : Fluids and Lubricants"

(Mexico).

• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.

• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-

age at connection points.

• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

NOTE:

If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide

may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop

after hydraulic pressure rises.

• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including

engine oil and engine coolant.

• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.

• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec-

ified level, if necessary.

• Summary of the inspection items:

*Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.
