When using the radiator cap tester, tilt it upward 30° or more.


vi.

Pump the radiator cap tester several times, and check the maximum pressure.

Pumping Speed:

1 pump per second


Result:
Item Specified Condition
Standard pressure
(for brand-new radiator cap sub-assembly)
74 to 103 kPa (0.8 to 1.1 kgf/cm2, 10.7 to 14.9 psi)
Minimum pressure
(for used radiator cap sub-assembly)
59 kPa (0.6 kgf/cm2, 8.6 psi)


HINT:

Even if the radiator cap sub-assembly cannot maintain the maximum pressure, it is not a defect.


If the maximum pressure is less than the minimum pressure, replace the radiator cap sub-assembly.
