Radiator Cap: Inspection
- Attach the radiator cap to tester.
- Increase pressure until the tester gauge pointer stops. Radiator cap is functioning properly if it holds the service limit pressure for 5 - 6 seconds.
Non-turbo model radiator side and turbo model coolant filler tank side
Specified pressure: 93 - 123 kPa (0.95 - 1.25 kgf/cm 2 , 14 - 18 psi)
Service limit pressure: 83 kPa (0.85 kgf/cm 2 , 12 psi)
Radiator side on turbo models
Specified pressure: 122 - 152 kPa (1.24 - 1.55 kgf/cm 2 , 18 - 22 psi)
Service limit pressure: 112 kPa (1.14 kgf/cm 2 , 16 psi)
CAUTION:- Be sure to remove foreign matter and rust from the cap in advance. Otherwise, results of pressure test will be incorrect.
- Do not confuse the cap of coolant filler tank and cap of radiator.
