PRECAUTIONS IN REPAIRIN G HIGH STRENGTH STEEL
High Strength Steel (HSS)INFOID:0000000009464964
High strength steel is used for body panel s in order to reduce vehicle weight.
Accordingly, precautions in repairing automotive bodies made of high strength steel are described below:
SP130 is the most commonly used HSS.
Read the following precautions when repairing HSS.
1. Additional points to consider • The repair of reinforcements (such as side members) by heat-
ing is not recommended since it may weaken the component.
When heating is unavoidable, do not heat HSS parts above
550 °C (1,022 °F).
Verify heating temperature with a thermometer.
(Crayon-type and other similar type thermometer are appropri-
ate.)
• When straightening body panels, use caution in pulling any HSS panel. Because HSS is very strong, pulling may cause
deformation in adjacent portions of the body. In this case,
increase the number of measuring points, and carefully pull
the HSS panel.
• When cutting HSS panels, avoid gas (torch) cutting if possible. Instead, use a saw to avoid weakening surrounding areas due
to heat. If gas (torch) cutting is unavoidable, allow a minimum
margin of 50 mm (1.97in).

• Place a thread so that it is caught
in the valves of the thermostat.
Immerse fully in a container filled with water. Heat while stirring.
• The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and the thermostat falls from the thread.
• Continue heating. Check the full-open lift amount. NOTE:
The full-open lift amount standard temperature for the thermostat is
the reference value.
• After checking the full-open lift amount, lower the water tempera-
ture and check the valve closing temperature.
• If valve setting at measured values are out of standard range, replace thermostat.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Install the thermostat with the whole circumference of the flange fit-
ting securely inside the rubber ring.
• Install the thermostat with the jiggle valve facing upwards. The
position deviation may be within the range of ±10 °.
• After installation, refill coolant and check for leaks. Refer to CO-
12, "Changing Engine Coolant" and CO-11, "System Inspection".
