Pressure Relief Cap Pressure Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Inspect the pressure relief cap and seals for damage or deterioration. Install a new pressure relief cap if necessary.
- Using the correct adapter, fit the pressure relief cap to the Radiator Tester.
- Slowly press the plunger of the pressure test pump until the pressure gauge stops increasing and note the highest pressure reading. Release the pressure and repeat the test. Install a new pressure relief cap if the pressure is not within the pressure listed in the Specifications table in this information.
NOTE:
If the plunger of the pressure tester is pressed to fast, an incorrect pressure reading results.
