1. |
Disconnect the battery negative
terminal. |
2. |
Remove the air cleaner assembly. (Refer to
Intake and exhaust system in this
group) |
3. |
Remove the under cover (A).
Tightening
torque:
6.9 ~ 10.8 N.m (0.7 ~ 1.1 kgf.m, 5.1 ~
8.0 lb-ft)
|

|
4. |
Loosen the drain plug (A), and drain the
coolant.
Remove the radiator cap to speed
draining.

Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Serious scalding could be caused by hot fluid
under high pressure escaping from the
radiator. | |
5. |
Disconnect the over flow hose (A) from the
radiator.

|
6. |
Remove the radiator upper hose (A) and the
lower hose (B).


Install the radiator hoses as shown
illustrations. |

|
7. |
Disconnect the fan motor connector
(A).
Tightening
torque:
8.8 ~ 10.8 N.m (0.9 ~ 1.1 kgf.m, 6.5 ~
7.9 lb-ft)
|

|
8. |
Disconnect the ATF cooler hoses (A). (Refer to
AT group)

|
9. |
Remove the front bumper. (Refer to BD
group) |
10. |
Remove the hood latch (A). (Refer to BD
group) |
11. |
Remove the rail (B) and the air guard
(C).
Tightening
torque
Rail bolts :
16.7 ~ 25.5 N.m (1.7 ~ 2.6 kgf.m, 12.3 ~
18.8 lb-ft)
Rail nuts :
3.9 ~ 5.9 N.m (0.4 ~ 0.6 kgf.m, 2.9 ~
4.3 lb-ft)
| |
12. |
Remove the upper cover (D) and the upper
mounting bracket (E).
Tightening
torque :
6.9 ~ 10.8 N.m (0.7 ~ 1.1 kgf.m, 5.1 ~
8.0 lb-ft)
|

|
13. |
Separate the condenser from the radiator and
then pull the radiator (A) upper from vehicle.

|
14. |
Remove the cooling fan & reservior tank
(A) from the radiator (B).

|
15. |
Installation is in the reverse order of
removal. |
16. |
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 and let it cool
dwon. 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, then install it to pressure tester.

|
2. |
Apply a pressure of 93 ~ 123kPa (0.95 ~
1.25kgf/cm², 14 ~ 19psi). |
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 a pressure tester on it.

|
2. |
Apply a pressure of 93 ~ 123kPa (0.95 ~
1.25kgf/cm², 14 ~ 19psi). |
3. |
Inspect for engine coolant leaks and a drop in
pressure. |
4. |
If the pressure drops, check hoses, the
radiator and the water pump for leakage. If there is no leakage,
inspect the heater core, the cylinder block and the cylinder head.
|
5. |
Remove the tester and reinstall the radiator
cap.
Check for engine oil in coolant and/or
coolant in engine oil.
