ENGINE COOLANT
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
10. Warm up engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000
rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between “COOL” and “WARM”.

Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
11. Repeat step 10 three times.
12. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating steps 3 through 6 until engine coolant level
no longer drops.

Clean excess engine coolant from engine.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Install reservoir tank, and radiator drain plug.
If cylinder block water drain plugs are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-244, "
ASSEM-
BLY" .
2. Fill thermostat housing with water until water spills from the air relief hole, then close air relief plug. Fill
thermostat housing and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
3. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
5. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
6. Drain water from the system. Refer to CO-36, "
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
7. Repeat steps 1 through 5 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.Radiator drain plug:
: 1.19 N·m (0.12 kg-m, 11 in-lb)

WARNING:
Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure engine
coolant escaping from thermostat housing.
REMOVAL
1. Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to EM-168, "ENGINE ROOM COVER" .
2. Remove engine front undercover with power tool.
3. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-36, "
Changing Engine Coolant" .
CAUTION:

Perform this step when engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
4. Remove air duct (inlet), air cleaner case and mass air flow sensor assembly. Refer to EM-172, "
AIR
CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
5. Remove radiator hoses (upper and lower).
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow engine coolant to drive belts.
6. Disconnect A/T fluid cooler hoses.

Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
7. Disconnect radiator hose (upper) and water hoses from thermostat housing.
8. Disconnect heater hoses from water outlet and heater pipe.
9. Remove thermostat housing, water outlet pipe, water connector, water control valve, water outlet and
heater pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble water control valve.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Make sure that valves both in thermostat and water control valve are completely closing at normal tempar-
ature.

Place a thread so that it is caught in the valves of the thermostat
and water control valve. Immerse fully in a container filled with
water. Heat while stirring. (The example in the figure shows ther-
mostat.)

The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and falls from the thread.

Continue heating. Check the maximum valve lift.
NOTE:
The maximum valve lift standard temperature for water control
valve is the reference value.

After checking the maximum valve lift, lower the water tempera-
ture and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard values:

If the malfunctioning condition, when closing valve at normal temperature, or measured values are out of
the standard, replace thermostat and/or water control valve.
INSTALLATION
Note to the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Thermostat and Water Control Valve

Install thermostat and water control valve with the whole circum-
ference of each flange part fit securely inside rubber ring. (The
example in the figure shows thermostat.)

Install thermostat with jiggle valve facing upwards. (The position
deviation may be within the range of ±10 degrees)

Install water control valve with the up-mark facing up and the
frame center part facing upwards. (The position deviation may
be within the range of ±10 degrees)
Water Outlet Pipe and Heater Pipe
First apply a neutral detergent to O-rings, then quickly insert the insertion parts of the water outlet pipe and
heater pipe into the installation holes.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of engine coolant using radiator cap tester adapter [SST: EG17650301 (J33984-A)] and
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-36, "
LEAK CHECK" .

Start and warm up engine. Visually make sure that there is no leaks of engine coolant.
