PRESSURE CAP - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).
(b) Check condition of radiator filler
neck. If neck is bent or damaged,
replace radiator.
7. Coolant level low in radiator but
not in coolant reserve/overflow tank.
This means the radiator is not
drawing coolant from the coolant
reserve/overflow tank as the engine
cools7. (a) Check condition of radiator cap and
