A: INSPECTION
1) To check  the radiator for leakage,  fill it with en-
gine coolant, and attach the radiator cap tester (A)
to the filler neck, and apply pressure. Check the fol-
lowing points:
157 kPa (1.6 kg/cm2, 23 psi)
NOTE:
•Hose joints and other connections for leakage
•Each portion of radiator for leakage
•Be particularly careful not to deform the filler
neck  of  radiator  when  installing  and  removing  the
tester and after testing.
•When performing this check, be sure to keep the
engine stationary and fill radiator with coolant.
•Wipe off check points before applying pressure.
•Use care not to spill coolant when detaching
tester from radiator.
2) Check the radiator cap valve open pressure us-
ing radiator cap tester.
NOTE:
Rust or dirt on the cap may prevent valve from func-
tioning  normally:be  sure  to  clean  the  cap  before
testing.
Raise the pressure until the needle of gauge stops
and  see  if  the  pressure  can  be  retained for  five to
six  seconds.  The  radiator  cap  is  normal  if  a  pres-
sure above the service limit value has been main-
tained for this period.
Radiator cap valve open pressure
Standard:
93 — 123 kPa (0.95 — 1.25 kg/cm2, 14 — 18 
psi)
Service limit:
83 kPa (0.85 kg/cm2, 12 psi)
3) Start  the  engine,  and  then  check  it  does  not
overheat or it is cooled excessively. If it overheats
or  it  is  cooled  excessively,  check  the  cooling  sys-
tem.
4) Check  the  radiator  fan  operates  using  Subaru
Select  Monitor,  when  the  coolant  temperature  ex-
ceeds  95°C  (203°F).  If  it  does  not  operate,  check
the radiator fan system.

tor fan starts and stops.
NOTE:
•Be careful with the engine coolant temperature
gauge to prevent overheating.
•If the radiator hose becomes harden by engine
coolant pressure at this time, air purge seems to be
mostly completed.
16) Stop the engine and wait until the engine cool-
ant temperature lowers to 30°C (86°F).
17) Open the radiator cap. If the engine coolant lev-
el  drops,  add  engine  coolant  into  the  coolant  filler
tank up to the filler neck position and the reservoir
tank to “FULL” level.

3) Check the pedal stroke.
While the engine is idling, depress the brake pedal
with a 500 N (51 kgf, 112 lb) load and measure the
distance  between  the  brake  pedal  and  steering
wheel. With the brake pedal released, measure the
distance between pedal and steering wheel again.
The  difference  between  the  two  measured  values
must be less than specified value. If the measured
value is more than specification, there is possibility
of entering air in hydraulic unit.
Brake pedal stroke A:
115 mm (4.5 in)/ 500 N (51 kgf, 112 kg) or less
4) Check to  see  if  air  is in  the hydraulic brake line
by the feel of pedal operation. If air appears to exist
in the line, bleed it from the system.
5) Check  for  even  operation  of  all  brakes,  using  a
brake tester or by driving the vehicle for a short dis-
tance on a straight road.
3. BRAKE SERVO SYSTEM
1) With  the  engine  off,  depress  the  brake  pedal
several times applying the same pedal force. Make
sure the travel distance should not change.
2) With  the  brake  pedal  depressed,  start  the  en-
gine. Make sure the pedal should move slightly to-
ward the floor.
3) With the brake pedal depressed, stop the engine
and  keep  the  pedal  depressed  for  30  seconds.
Make sure the pedal height should not change.
4) A  check  valve  is  incorporated  into  the  vacuum
hose part. Disconnect the vacuum hose to inspect
function of check valve.
Make sure air flows from the booster end to engine
end  but  does  not  flow  in  the  opposite  direction  in
the check valve.
5) Check the vacuum hose for cracks or other dam-
age.
NOTE:
When  installing  the  vacuum  hose  on  the  engine
and brake booster, do not use soapy water or lubri-
cating oil on their connections.
