Radiator Cap Test
1. Wait until the engine is cool, then carefully remove
the radiator cap (A). Wet the radiator cap seal with
engine coolant, then install it on a commercially
available pressure tester (B).
B
2. Apply a pressure of 93.3—122.7 kPa (0.951—1.251
kgf/cm2, 13.53-17.79 psi).
3. Check for a drop in pressure.
4. If the pressure drops, replace the radiator cap.

Radiator Test
1. Wait until the engine is cool, then carefully remove
the radiator cap, and fill the radiator with engine
coolant to the base of the filler neck.
2. Attach a commercially available pressure tester (A) to
the radiator, and apply a pressure of 93.3—122.7 kPa
(0.951-1.251 kgf/cm2, 13.53-17.79 psi).

3. Inspect for engine coolant leaks and a drop in
pressure.
4. Remove the tester, and reinstall the radiator cap.
Fan Motor Test Thermostat Test

1. Disconnect the 2P connectors from the radiator fan
motor (A) and the A/C condenser fan motor (B).

at room temperature.
To test a closed thermostat:
1. Suspend the thermostat (A) in a container of water.
Do not let the thermostat and the thermometer (B)
touch the bottom of the hot container.

cardiagn.com
2. Test each motor by connecting battery power to
terminal No. 2 and ground to terminal No. 1.
3. If either motor fails to run, or does not run smoothly,
replace it (see page 10-15).
2. Heat the water, and check the temperature with a
thermometer. Check the temperature at which the
thermostat first opens, and at which it is fully open.
3. Measure the lift height of the thermostat when it is
fully open.
Standard Thermostat
Lift Hight: Above 8.0 mm (0.315 in)
Starts Opening: 169-176 °F (7 6 -8 0 °C)

2. If the coolant level in the coolant reservoir is at or
below the MIN mark, add coolant to bring it between
the MIN and MAX marks, then inspect the cooling
system for leaks.
3. Check the coolant level in the radiator, and add Honda
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 into the radiator
