Do not remove radiator cap when the engine is
hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure
engine coolant escaping from radiator. Wrap a thick cl oth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a
turn to release built-up pressure. Carefully remove radiator cap by turning it all the way.
REMOVAL
1. Remove engine under cover. Refer to EI-15, "Removal and Installation".
2. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-36, "
Changing Engine Coolant".
CAUTION:
• Perform this step when engine is cold.
• Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
3. Remove air duct (inlet). Refer to EM-135
.
4. Remove reservoir tank as follows:
a. Disconnect reservoir tank hose.
b. Release the tab (A) in the direction shown by the arrow ( ).
c. Lift up while removing the reservoir tank hose, and remove it.
5. Disconnect harness connector from fan motor, and move harness aside.
6. Disconnect CVT or A/T fluid cooler hoses if equipped. • Install plug to avoid leakage of CVT or A/T fluid if equipped.
7. Remove radiator hoses (upper and lower).
8. Remove radiator core support cover. Refer to BL-19
.
9. Remove cooling fan assembly.
10. Remove radiator core support (upper) bolts, bolts of stationary part on the radiator core support side and clip. Lift radiator from
radiator (upper) mount part of radiator core support (upper) (2).
11. Move radiator assembly (1) to the rearward direction of vehicle, and then lift it upward to remove.
CAUTION:
Do not damage or scratch A/C condenser if equipped and
radiator core when removing.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Do not damage or scratch A/C condenser if eq uipped and radiator core when installing.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels incl uding engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-14, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-
age at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec-
ified level, if necessary.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
• Place a thread (A) so that it is caught in the valves of thermostat (1). Immerse fully in a container (B) filled with water. Heat while
stirring.
• The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and falls from the thread.
• Continue heating. Check the full-open valve lift amount. NOTE:
The full-open valve lift amount standard temperature for the ther-
mostat is the reference value.
• After checking the full-open valve lift amount, lower the water tem-
perature and check the valve closing temperature.
• If out of the specification, replace thermostat.
