2. Check valve operation.

If the malfunctioning condition, when valve seating at ordinary
room temperature, or measured values are out of the standard,
replace water inlet and thermostat assembly.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Be careful not to spill engine coolant over engine room. Use rag to absorb engine coolant.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of engine coolant using radiator cap tester adapter (commercial service tool) and radiator
cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-10, "
LEAK CHECK" .

Start and warm up engine. Visually make sure that there is no leaks of engine coolant.

Removal and InstallationNBS00024

Refer to GI-11, "Components" for symbol marks in the figure.
REMOVAL
1. Remove undercover with power tool.
2. Drain engine coolant from radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and from water drain plug at the
front of cylinder block. Refer to CO-10, "
Changing Engine Coolant" and CO-23, "WATER PUMP" .
CAUTION:

Perform this step when engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
3. Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to EM-17, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .
4. Remove air duct and air cleaner case (RH, LH). Refer to EM-15, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
