ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. REMOVE RADIATOR CAP
Remove the radiator cap from the radiator.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the ra-
diator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure.
2. INSPECT RADIATOR CAP
NOTICE:

If the radiator cap has contaminations, always rinse
it with water.

Before using a radiator cap tester, wet the relief valve
and pressure valve with engine coolant or water.

When performing steps (a) and (b) below, keep the
tester at an angle of over 30° above the horizontal.
(a) Using a radiator cap tester, slowly pump the tester and
check that air is coming from the vacuum valve.
Pump speed: 1 push/(3 seconds or more)
NOTICE:
Push the pump at a constant speed.
If air is not coming from the vacuum valve, replace the radiator
cap.
(b) Pump the radiator cap tester, and measure the relief valve
opening pressure.
Pump speed: 1 push within 1 second
NOTICE:
This pump speed is for the first pump only (in order to close
the vacuum valve). After this, the pump speed can be re-
duced.
Standard opening pressure:
93 ± 123 kPa (0.95 ± 1.25 kgf/cm
2, 13.5 ± 17.8 psi)
Minimum opening pressure:
78 kPa (0.8 kgf/cm
2, 11.4 psi)
HINT:
Use the tester's maximum reading as the opening pressure.
If the opening pressure is less than minimum, replace the radia-
tor cap.
3. INSPECT COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
(a) Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator cap tes-
ter.
(b) Warm up the engine.
(c) Pump it to 118 kPa (1.2 kgf/cm
2, 17.1 psi), and check that
the pressure does not drop.
If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator or water pump
for leaks. If no external leaks are found, check the heater core,
cylinder block and head.

REPLACEMENT
1. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the ra-
diator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) Loosen the 2 drain plugs (for the engine and radiator),
and drain the coolant.
HINT:
To prevent the coolant from spraying over the cylinder block,
connect the rubber hose (inside diameter 6 ± 8 mm) in the mar-
ket to the union pipe under the drain plug.
(c) Close the drain plugs.
Torque: 30 N´m (300 kgf´cm, 22 ft´lbf) for engine
2. FILL ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Slowly fill the system with coolant.

Use of improper coolants may damage engine cool-
ing system.

Use ºToyota Long Life Coolantº or equivalent and
mix it with plain water according to the manufac-
ture's directions.

Use of the coolant which includes more than 50%
[freezing protection down to ±35°C (±31°F)] or 60%
[freezing protection down to ±50°C (±58°F)] of eth-
ylene ±glycol is recommended, but not more than
70%.
NOTICE:

Do not use an alcohol type coolant or plain water
alone.

The coolant should be mixed with plain water (prefer-
able demineralized water or distilled water).
Capacity (w/ Heater):
7.7 liters (8.1 US qts, 6.8 lmp. qts)
(b) Install the radiator cap.
(c) Start the engine, and bleed the cooling system.
(d) Refill the reservoir with coolant until it reaches the ºFULLº
line.

for a separated connector or severed wire between the cooling
fan relay and ECT switch.
(c) Disconnect the ECT switch connector.
(d) Check that the cooling fan rotates.
If not, check the fuses, radiator fan main relay, cooling fan relay,
cooling fan, and check for a short circuit between the cooling
fan relay and ECT switch.
