6B – 8 ENGINE COOLING
INSTALLATION
1. Thermostat
1) The jiggle valve of the thermostat must face the
cylinder head side.
2. Gasket
3. Install thermostat housing and tighten bolt to the
specified torque.
Torque: 20 Nꞏm (2.0 kgꞏm/14.5 lb ft)

ENGINE COOLING 6B – 9
RADIATOR
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect battery ground cable
2. Loosen drain plug to drain coolant.
3. Radiator Hose
1) Disconnect lower hose and upper hose from the
engine.
4. Fan Guide
1) Remove clips on both sides and the bottom lock.
5. Reservoir Tank Hose
1) Disconnect the hose from radiator.
6. Bracket
7. Radiator Assembly
1) Remove the radiator assembly upward by the
hoses taking care not to damage the radiator
core by the fan blade.
2) Remove rubber cushions on both sides of the
bottom.
INSPECTION
Radiator Cap
1) Measure the valve opening pressure with the
radiator cap tester. Replace the radiator cap if it
exceeds the standard.
Valve opening pressure: 93.2 – 122.7 kPa
(0.95 – 1.25 kg/cm
2/
13.5 – 17.8 psi)
Check the condition of the negative pressure valve in
the center of the valve seat side of the cap. If the valve
seat does not move smoothly due to rust or dust, clean
and replace the radiator cap.Radiator Core
1) Deformed radiator fins could reduce radiation
effects, resulting in overheating. Straighten the fins.
In such a case, take care not to damage the fin
roots.
2) Remove dust and other foreign materials.
Flushing the Radiator
1) Wash the inside of radiator and the coolant
passage with water and a neutral detergent.
Remove all scales and rust.

radiator cap tester by applying 196.0 kPa (28.4 psi)
air pressure from filler neck to inside the radiator.
INSTALLATION
1. Radiator Assembly
1) Install rubber cushions on both sides of radiator
bottom.
2) Install radiator assembly with hose, taking care
not to damage the radiator core by a fan blade.
2. Bracket
1) Support the radiator upper tank with the bracket
and fix the radiator.
3. Reserve Tank Hose
4. Fan Guide, Lower
5. Radiator Hose
1) Connect inlet hose and outlet hose to the
engine.
2) Connect battery ground cable.
3) Pour coolant up to filler neck of radiator, and up
to MAX mark of reserve tank.
4) Start engine to warm up, and check for coolant
level. Replenish coolant if it does not reach the
radiator filler neck, and tighten the cap
completely.

DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT
INSPECTION
Check drive belts for wear or damage, and replace with
new ones as necessary. Check belts for tension, and
adjust as necessary.
1) Check drive belt tension.
2) Push the middle of belt with a force of 98 N
(10 kg/22 lb) and check each belt for deflection.
Standard deflection:
For A.C. generator & fan pulley drive belt
Initial tension : 8 – 12 mm (0.31 – 0.47 in)
Tension at readjustment : Same as above.
For A/C compressor drive belt
Initial tension : 7 – 10 mm (0.28 – 0.38 in)
Tension at readjustment : 5 – 8 mm (0.20 – 0.31 in)
TENSION ADJUSTMENT
1) Loosen AC generator mounting bolt to move AC
generator, adjust belt tension and tighten to the
specified torque.

Poor Fuel Economy Symptom
StepActionVa l u e ( s )Ye sNo
1DEFINITION:
Fuel economy, as measured by an actual road test, is
noticeably lower than expected. Also, economy is
noticeably lower than it was on this vehicle at one time,
as previously shown by an actual road test. (Larger than
standard tires will cause odometer readings to be
incorrect, and that may cause fuel economy to appear
poor when it is actually normal.)
