  9. INSPECT LOCK PLATE FOR DAMAGE 

    Inspect the lock plate for damage.

    HINT:

    • If the sides of the lock plate groove are deformed, reassembly of the tank will be impossible. Correct any deformations with pliers.
    • Water leakage will result if the bottom of the lock plate groove is damaged or dented. Repair or replace if necessary.

    1. Plug the inlet and outlet pipes of the radiator with SST.
      1. SST 09230-01010
    2. Using a radiator cap tester, apply pressure to the radiator.
      1. Test pressure: 177 kPa (1.8 kgf/cm 2  , 26 psi) 
    3. Submerge the radiator in water.
    4. Inspect for leaks.

    HINT:

    On radiators with resin tanks, there is a clearance between the tank and lock plate where a minute amount of air will remain, giving the appearance of an air leak when the radiator is submerged in water. Before doing the water leak test, first shake the radiator in the water until all air bubbles disappear.
