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 leve l 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.
