ENGINE COOLANT LEAK CHECKM1141001000300
WARNING
When pressure testing the cooling system,
slowly release cooling system pressure to
avoid getting burned by hot coolant.
CAUTION
•Be sure to completely clean away any
moisture from the places checked.
•When the tester is taken out, be careful not to
spill any coolant.
•Be careful when installing and removing the
tester and when testing not to deform the
filler neck of the radiator.
1. Check that the coolant level is up to the filler neck.
Install a radiator tester and apply 160 kPa
pressure, and then check for leakage from the
radiator hose or connections.
2. If there is leakage, repair or replace the
appropriate part.
RADIATOR CAP VALVE OPENING
PRESSURE CHECK
M1141001300389
NOTE: Be sure that the cap is clean before
testing. Rust or other foreign material on the cap
seal will cause an improper reading.
1. Use a cap adapter to attach the cap to the tester.2. Increase the pressure until the indicator of the
gauge stops moving.
Minimum limit: 83 kPa
Standard value: 93 − 123 kPa
3. Replace the radiator cap if the reading does not
remain at or above the limit.
ENGINE COOLANT REPLACEMENTM1141001200434
WARNING
When removing the radiator cap, use care to
avoid contact with hot coolant or steam.
Place a shop towel over the cap and turn the
cap counterclockwise a little to let the
pressure escape through the vinyl tube.
After relieving the steam pressure, remove
the cap by slowly turning it
counterclockwise.
1. Drain the water from the radiator, heater core and
engine after unplugging the radiator drain plug
and removing the radiator cap.
2. Drain the water in the water jacket by unplugging
the drain plug of the cylinder block.
3. Remove the radiator condenser tank and drain
the coolant.
4. Drain the coolant then clean the path of the
coolant by injecting water into the radiator from
the radiator cap area.

5. Apply the designated sealant to the screw area of
the cylinder block drain plug, and then tighten to
the standard torque.
Specified sealant: 3M Nut Locking Part
No.4171 or equivalent
Tightening torque:
40 ± 5 N⋅m <4G1>
44 ± 5 N⋅m <4G6>
6. Securely tighten the drain plug of the radiator.
7. Reinstall the radiator condenser tank.
CAUTION
Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze or any
engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol
anti-freeze. The use of an improper anti-freeze
can cause corrosion of the aluminium
components.
8. By referring to the section on coolant, select an
appropriate concentration for safe operating
temperature within the range of 30 to 60%. Use
special tool LLC changer (MB991871) to refill the
coolant. A convenient mixture is a 50% water and
50% antifreeze solution (freezing point: −31°C).
Recommended antifreeze: DIAQUEEN SUPER
LONG LIFE COOLANT or equivalent
Quantity:
5.0 L <4G1>
7.0 L <4G6>
NOTE: For how to use special tool MB991871,
refer to its manufacturer’s instructions.9. Reinstall the radiator cap.
10.Start the engine and let it warm up until the
thermostat opens.
11.After repeatedly revving the engine up to 3,000
r/min several times, then stop the engine.
12.Remove the radiator cap after the engine has
become cold, and pour in coolant up to the brim.
Reinstall the cap.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the radiator condenser tank.
13.Add coolant to the radiator condenser tank
between the "F" and "L" mark if necessary.
CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENTM1141001100352
Measure the temperature and specific gravity of the
engine coolant to check the antifreeze concentration.
Standard value: 30 − 60% (allowable
concentration range)
Recommended antifreeze: DIAQUEEN SUPER
LONG LIFE COOLANT or equivalent
CAUTION
If the concentration of the anti-freeze is below
30%, the anti-corrosion property will be
adversely affected. In addition, if the
concentration is above 60%, both the
anti-freezing and engine cooling properties will
decrease, affecting the engine adversely. For
these reasons, be sure to maintain the
concentration level within the specified range.

WARNING
Stay clear of the fan when the fan starts
running.
6. Turn the A/C switch to the "ON" position.
7. Measure the voltage between the cooling fan
motor drive control unit side connector terminal 1
and 2 while the fan is running. The voltage should
repeat the values below.
Standard value:
1. 1 V or less
2. 8.2 ± 0.7 V
