SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
ENGINE COOLANT LEAK CHECKMl4FAAF
1. Loosen cap.
2.Confirm that the engine coolant level is up to the filler neck.
3.Install an adapter to the water outlet fitting and apply 160
kPa (23 psi) pressure. Hold pressure for two minutes, while
checking for leakage from the radiator, hose or connec-
tions.
CautionBe sure to completely clean away any moisture from
the places checked.
When the tester is removed, be careful not to spill anyengine coolant from it.
Be careful, when installing and removing the tester andwhen testing, not to deform the water outlet fitting.
4. If there is leakage, repair or replace the appropriate part.
CAP PRESSURE TESTM14FBAH1. Use a special tool to attach the cap to the tester.
2.Increase the pressure until the indicator of the gauge stops
moving.
Limit: 65
kPa (9.2 psi)
Standard value: 75
- 105 kPa (11 - 15 psi)
3:Replace the cap if the reading does not remain at or above
the limit.
NOTEBe sure that the cap is clean before testing, since rust or
other foreign material on the cap seal will cause an
improper indication.

SERVICE POINT OF REMOVALM14QBAK8. DISCONNECTION OF AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE OIL
COOLER HOSESUse a plug or otherwise cover the hose and nipple part of
the radiator so that dust, dirt, foreign materials, etc. do not
enter after the hose has been disconnected from the
radiator.
INSPECTIONM14QCAN
l Check for foreign material between radiator fins.
l Check the radiator fins for bent, or damage.
l Check the radiator for corrosion, damage rust or scale.
lCheck the radiator hoses for cracks, damage or deteriora-
tion.
l Check the reserve tank for damage.
lCheck the automatic transaxle oil cooler hoses for cracking,
damage or deterioration.
RADIATOR FAN MOTOR INSPECTION
(1) Check to be sure that the radiator fan rotates when battery
voltage is applied between terminals (as shown in the
figure).(2) Check to see that abnormal noises are not produced, while
motor is turning.
INSPECTION OF RESISTOR(1) Measure the resistance between connector terminals @
and @ of the radiator fan motor.
(2) The resistor is normal if the resistance is within the
following range.
Resistance: 0.29
- 0.35 IZ
THERM0 SENSOR INSPECTION
(1) Immerse the water temperature switch in hot water as
shown.
(2) Change the water temperature and check continuity with a
circuit tester.. If it is as specified below, the switch is
functioning correctly.
