| 1. |
Disconnect the battery terminals.
(Refer to Engine and transaxle assembly in
this group) |
| 2. |
Remove the air cleaner assembly.
(Refer to Engine and transaxle assembly in
this group) |
| 3. |
Remove the battery and battery
tray.
(Refer to Engine and transaxle assembly in
this group) |
| 4. |
Remove the under cover.
(Refer to Engine and transaxle assembly in
this group) |
| 5. |
Loosen the drain plug, and drain the engine
coolant. Remove the radiator cap to drain with
speed. |
| 6. |
Disconnect the radiator upper hose (A), lower
hose (B) and then disconnect the fan motor connector (C).
|
| 7. |
Disconnect the ATF cooler hoses (A/T
only).
(Refer to AT group)
|
| 8. |
Disconnect the over flow hose (A) from the
radiator.
|
| 9. |
Remove the cooling fan assembly
(A).
Tightening
torque :
4.9 ~ 7.8 N.m (0.5 ~ 0.8 kgf.m, 3.6 ~
5.8 lb-ft)
|
|
| 10. |
Remove the radiator mounting bracket
(A).
Tightening
torque:
3.9 ~ 5.9 N.m (0.4 ~ 0.6 kgf.m, 2.9 ~
4.3 lb-ft)
|
|
| 11. |
Separate the condenser from the radiator and
then remove the radiator assembly (A).
|
| 12. |
Installation is the reverse order of
removal. |
| 13. |
Fill the radiator with coolant and check for
leaks.
| •
|
Bleed air from the cooling system.
|
| -
|
Start engine and let it run until
it warms up. (Until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4
times.) |
| -
|
Turn off engine. Check the coolant
level and add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped
air to be removed from the cooling system.
|
| -
|
Put the radiator cap on tightly,
then run engine again and check for
leaks. | | |
Radiator Cap Testing
| 1. |
Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with
engine coolant, and then install it on a pressure
tester.
|
| 2. |
Apply a pressure of 93.16 ~ 122.58 kPa (0.95 ~
1.25 kgf/cm², 13.51 ~ 17.78 psi). |
| 3. |
Check for a drop in pressure.
|
| 4. |
If the pressure drops, replace the
cap. |
Radiator Leakage Test
| 1. |
Wait until engine is cool, then carefully
remove the radiator cap and fill the radiator with engine coolant,
then install it on the pressure tester.
|
| 2. |
Apply a pressure tester to the radiator and
apply a pressure of 93.16 ~ 122.58kPa (0.95 ~ 1.25kgf/cm², 13.51 ~
17.78psi).
|
| 3. |
Inspect for engine coolant leaks and a drop in
pressure. |
| 4. |
Remove the tester and reinstall the radiator
cap.
|
Check for engine oil in the coolant
and/or coolant in the engine
oil. | | |
