    4. Warm up the engine.
    5. Pump the radiator cap tester to 103 kPa (1.1 kgf/cm2 , 15 psi), and then check that the pressure does not drop.
      • If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator assembly and engine water pump assembly for leaks.
      • If there are no signs of external engine coolant leaks, check the heater core, cylinder block sub-assembly and cylinder head sub-assembly.
    6. Remove the radiator cap tester.
    7. Install the radiator cap sub-assembly.
  2. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL IN RESERVOIR (for Engine) 
    1. Check that the engine coolant level is between the MIN line and MAX line when the engine is cold.

      If the engine coolant level is MIN, check for leaks and add engine coolant to the MAX line.
