Checking Cooling System For Leaks
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Infiniti QX60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
- Do not remove the radiator cap or reservoir tank cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from the cooling system.
- When removing the radiator cap or reservoir tank cap, wrap a thick cloth around the cap and slowly turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Then carefully remove the cap by turning it all the way.
To check the cooling system for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system using Tools (A), (B), (C) and (D).
| Tool number (A) | :-(J - 51771-5) |
| Tool number (B) | :-(J - 51771-9) |
| Tool number (C) | :-(J - 51771-1) |
| Tool number (D) | :-(J - 51771-4) |
| Leakage test pressure | : Refer to RADIATOR . |
CAUTION:
Higher testing pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
NOTE:
- If engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant. Refer to FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS .
- If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
