Check that the engine coolant level is between the MIN line and MAX line when the engine is cold.

If the engine coolant level is low, check for leaks and add engine coolant to the MAX line.

NOTICE:

Do not substitute plain water for engine coolant.



Hide 3.INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY (for Engine)

CAUTION:

Do not remove the radiator cap sub-assembly while the engine or radiator assembly are still hot. Pressurized, hot engine coolant and steam may be released and cause serious burns.


a.

Remove the radiator cap sub-assembly.


b.

Check that there are no excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap sub-assembly and water filler hole. Also, the engine coolant should be free of oil.

If excessively dirty, clean the engine coolant passage and replace the engine coolant.


c.

Install the radiator cap sub-assembly.
