INFOID:0000000009269202
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES
Check hoses for the following:
• Improper attachment
• Leaks
• Cracks
• Damage
• Loose connections
• Chafing
• Deterioration
CHECKING RESERVOIR LEVEL
• Check that the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the
MAX (A) to MIN (B) range when the engine is cool.
• Adjust the engine coolant level if necessary.
CAUTION:
Refill the engine cooling system with the specified coolant or
equivalent. Refer to
MA-12, "Fluids and Lubricants"
.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system using suit-
able tool (A) and Tool (B).
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high-pressure coolant escaping from
the radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher test pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
Draining Engine Coolant
INFOID:0000000009269203
WARNING:
• Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure
engine coolant escaping from radiator.
• Wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a turn to release built-up pres-
sure. Then turn it all the way.
1. Remove engine under cover. Refer to

2. Connect a drain hose to the radiator drain plug.
• Use a suitable hose with the dimensions as shown.
3. Open radiator drain plug (A) at the bottom of radiator, and then
remove radiator cap.
: Front
CAUTION:
• Perform this step when engine is cold.
• Do not spill engine coolant on the drive belt.
4. It is necessary to drain the cylinder block when draining all of engine coolant in the system. To drain the
cylinder block, open the water drain plugs on cylinder block. Refer to
5. Remove reservoir tank if necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.
6. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration. If contaminated,
flush the engine cooling system. Refer to
CO-11, "Flushing Cooling System"
.
Refilling Engine Coolant
INFOID:0000000009269204
1. Install the radiator drain plug. Install the reservoir tank and cylinder block drain plug, if removed.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to clean drain plug and install with a new O-ring.
• Apply sealant to the threads of the cylinder block drain plug. Use Genuine High Performance
Thread Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-21, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants"
.
2. Set the vehicle heater controls to the full HOT and heater ON position. Turn the vehicle ignition ON with
the engine OFF as necessary to activate the heater mode.

3. Install the Tool by installing the radiator cap adapter onto the
radiator neck opening. Then attach the gauge body assembly
with the refill tube and the venturi assembly to the radiator cap
adapter.
4. Insert the refill hose into the coolant mixture container that is
placed at floor level. Make sure the ball valve is in the closed
position.
CAUTION:
Do not use any cooling system additives such as radiator
sealer. Additives may clog the cooling system and cause
damage to the engine, transmission and/or cooling system.
NOTE:
Use recommended coolant or equivalent. Refer to
5. Install an air hose to the venturi assembly. The air pressure must
be within specification.
CAUTION:
The compressed air supply must be equipped with an air dryer.
6. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and there will be an audible hissing noise. During this process open
the ball valve on the refill hose slightly. Coolant will be visible rising in the refill hose. Once the refill hose is
full of coolant, close the ball valve. This will purge any air trapped in the refill hose.
7. Continue to draw the vacuum until the gauge reaches 28 inches
of vacuum. The gauge may not reach 28 inches in high altitude
locations; use the vacuum specifications based on the altitude
above sea level.
8. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specified amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds
to see if the system loses any vacuum. If the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the
system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to bring the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck for any leaks.
9. Place the coolant container (with the refill hose inserted) at the same level as the top of the radiator. Then
open the ball valve on the refill hose so the coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling system. The cooling
system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the coolant container to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn into
the cooling system.
10. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening.
11. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specified level and install the radiator cap. Run the engine to
warm up the cooling system and top up the system as necessary.
12. Install engine under cover. Refer to
.

1. Install radiator drain plug and reservoir tank, if removed.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.
2. If water drain plugs on cylinder block were removed, close and tighten them. Refer to
.
3. Remove air duct from between air cleaner case and electric throttle control actuator. Refer to
4. Disconnect heater hose (1) at location (
) as shown.
•
: Front
• Position heater hose as high as possible.
5. Fill radiator until engine coolant flows out of the disconnected heater hose and then reconnect the heater
hose.
6. Finish filling the engine and reservoir tank with water and reinstall the radiator cap.
7. Install air duct in between air cleaner case and electric throttle control actuator. Refer to
8. Run the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
9. Rev the engine two or three times under no-load.
10. Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.
