DIAGNOSIS

WATERLEAK DIAGNOSIS

The repair of waterleaks in the body requires proper
testing and diagnosis. Repair waterleaks by adjusting
the misaligned parts and using the proper repair materi-
als. First, determine what conditions cause the leak.
For example, the leak may occur only when the vehicle
is parked on an incline, or water may appear only in
the spare tire compartment. Second, test the area for
the source of the leak using the following testing
methods. If the general leak area is found, determine
the exact entry point of the leak by using a water hose
or an air hose. If the general leak area is not obvious,
use the watertest stands to determine the area of the
leak. It may be necessary to remove some interior trim
panels or some parts in order to locate the leaks.

Important: It is necessary to find the origin of all the
leaks before making any repairs. Random repairs may
stop the leak only temporarily and may make future
repairs more difficult. Continue localized testing in the
general area in order to ensure that all leaks are found.

Generalized Testing

1. Set up the watertest stands.

9I-4  WATERLEAKS

3. Perform the watertest stand leak test. Refer to

“Watertest Stand Specifications” in this section.

4. If the local water pressure does not allow the

required water pressure of 155 kPa (22.5 psi),
move both stands closer to the vehicle so that
the water sprayoverlaps.

Localized Testing (Spot Test)

1. Do localized testing with a water hose or an air

hose.

2. Begin testing by spraying the air or the water at

the base of the suspected leak area. Continue
spraying the air or the water upward until the leak
is found.

2. Set up the watertest stand leak test.

Water Hose Test

1. Place another person inside the vehicle in order

to detect the location of the leak.

2. Use a water hose without a nozzle.

Air Hose Test

1. Apply soapy water to the outside of the vehicle in

the suspected leak area.

2. Blow air from inside the vehicle. The air pressure

should not exceed 205 kPa (29.7 psi).

3. Determine the location of the leaks from the

bubbles formed in the soapy water.

3. Begin spraying the water at the base of the

suspected leak area. Continue spraying the water
upward until the leak is found.
