Radiator Coolant Flow Check

To determine whether coolant is flowing through the cooling system, use the following procedure:
^ If engine is cold, idle engine until normal operating temperature is reached. If the upper radiator hose is hot, coolant is circulating.

WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE COOLANT PRESSURE CAP WITH THE SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE BECAUSE SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN OCCUR.
