![]() |
Measure the valve opening pressure.
If there are water stains or foreign matter on O-ring 1, clean it with water and finger scouring.
Check that O-ring 1 is not deformed, cracked or swollen.
Apply engine coolant to O-ring 1 and rubber packing 2 before using a radiator cap tester.

When using the cap tester, tilt it more than 30°.
Pump the cap tester several times, and check the maximum pressure*.
| Item | Specified Condition |
| Standard value (for brand-new cap) | 93.3 to 122.7 kPa (0.95 to 1.25 kgf/cm2, 13.5 to 17.8 psi) |
| Minimum standard value (after using cap) | 78.5 kPa (0.8 kgf/cm2, 11.4 psi) |
| 2. CHECK FINS FOR BLOCKAGE |
Check that the radiator and condenser are not blocked with leaves, dirt, or insects. Clean the hose connections.
If the fins are blocked, wash them with water or a steam cleaner.
| Injection Distance | Injection Pressure |
| 300 mm (11.81 in.) | 2942 to 4903 kPa (30 to 50 kgf/cm2, 427 to 711 psi) |
| 500 mm (19.69 in.) | 4903 to 7845 kPa (50 to 80 kgf/cm2, 711 to 1138 psi) |
Dry the fins with compressed air.
