WATER PUMP
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket with the tube presser
(commercial service tool) to mating surface of chain tensioner
cover and water pump cover.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-44, "
Recommended Chemical Product and Sealant".
CAUTION:
Attaching should be done with in 5 minutes after coating.
c. Tighten mounting bolts.
5. Install water drain plug (front) on water pump side of cylinder block.  Apply liquid gasket to the thread of water drain plug (front).
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-44, "
Recommended Chemical Prod-
uct and Sealant".
6. Install in the reverse order of removal for remaining parts. After starting engine, let idle fo r three minutes, then rev engine up to 3,000 rpm under no load to
purge air from the high-pressure chamber of ch ain tensioner. Engine may produce a rattling
noise. This indicates that air still remains in the chamber and is not a matter of concern.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
 Check for leaks of engine coolant using the radiator cap tester adapter (commercial service tool) and the
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-10, "
Inspection".
 Start and warm up the engine. Visually make sure that there is no leaks of engine coolant.

Checking Radiator CapINFOID:0000000001325873
 Check valve seat of radiator cap.
- Check if valve seat is swollen to the extent that the edge of the
plunger cannot be seen when watching it vertically from the top.
- Check if valve seat has no soil and damage.
 Pull negative-pressure valve to open it, and make sure that it close
completely when released.
- Make sure that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of radi-
ator cap negative-pressure valve.
- Make sure that there are no unusualness in the opening and clos- ing conditions of negative-pressure valve.
 Check radiator cap relief pressure.
- When connecting radiator cap to the radiator cap tester adapter (commercial service tool) (B) and t he radiator cap tester (commer-
cial service tool) (A), apply engine c oolant to the cap seal surface.
 Replace radiator cap if there is an unusualness.

5. Make sure that there is no leakage. Refer to "INSPECTION".
INSPECTION
1. Apply pressure with radiator cap tester adapter (commercial ser-
vice tool) and radiator cap tester (commercial service tool).
 provide used radiator and connect it to tested radiator usingradiator hoses as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
The used radiator should be tested beforehand to confirm it
has no leakage. If used one is not available, it is possible to
use new service part as a radiator testing tool.
WARNING:
To prevent the risk of hose coming undone whil e under pressure, securely fasten it down with
hose clamp.
CAUTION:
Attach hose to A/T fluid cooler to seal its inlet and outlet.
2. Check for leakage by soaking radiator in water container with the testing pressure applied.Testing pressure

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM
DescriptionINFOID:0000000001325904
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The evaporative emission system is used to reduce hydr
ocarbons emitted into the atmosphere from the fuel
system. This reduction of hydrocarbons is accomplis hed by activated charcoals in the EVAP canister.
The fuel vapor in the sealed fuel tank is led into t he EVAP canister which contains activated carbon and the
vapor is stored there when the engine is not oper ating or when refueling to the fuel tank.
The vapor in the EVAP canister is purged by the air through the purge line to the intake manifold when the
engine is operating. EVAP canister purge volume contro l solenoid valve is controlled by ECM. When the
engine operates, the flow rate of vapor controlled by EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is
proportionally regulated as the air flow increases.
EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve also shuts off the vapor purge line during decelerating and
idling.
