Removal and Installation


WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high pressure engine coolant escaping from the radiator.

REMOVAL

CAUTION:
Perform when the engine is cold.
1. Drain engine coolant from the radiator. Refer to Service and Repair.
2. Remove air cleaner and air duct assembly. Refer to Component Removal And Installation.
3. Remove radiator hose (upper). Refer to Component Removal and Installation.
4. Remove heater hoses and water hoses.

- Replace the gaskets and rubber rings with a new ones.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
- Place a thread (A) so that it is caught in the valve of the water control valve (1). Immerse fully in a container (B) filled with water. Heat while stirring.





- The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the water control valve opens and falls from the thread.
- Continue heating. Check the full-open valve lift amount.

NOTE:
The full-open valve lift amount standard temperature for the water control valve is the reference value.
- After checking the full-open valve lift amount, lower the water temperature and check the valve closing temperature.





- If out of the specification, replace water control valve.

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Water Control Valve
