COOLANT
INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR
The engine coolant level should be between the ºLOWº and ºFULLº lines, when the engine is cold.
If low, check for leaks and add ºToyota Long Life Coolantº or equivalent up to the ºFULLº line.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap or radiator filler hole,
and the coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the coolant.

ON±VEHICLE CLEANING
CLEAN RADIATOR
Using water or a steam cleaner, remove any mud or dirt from the radiator core.
NOTICE:
If using a high pressure type cleaner, be careful not to deform the fins of the radiator core. (i.e. Main-
tain a distance between the cleaner nozzle and radiator core.)

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.
