  1. Remove the radiator reservoir cap.

Caution:

To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator reservoir cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Thermal expansion will cause hot engine coolant and steam to blow out from the radiator reservoir.

Toyota RAV4. Check cooling system for leaks


  1. Fill the radiator and reservoir with coolant, and then attach a radiator cap tester.
  2. Warm up the engine.
  3. Pump the radiator cap tester to 118 kpa (1.2 Kgf/ cm2, 17.1 Psi), and then check that the pressure does not drop.

    If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator and water pump for leakage.

    If there are no signs of external coolant leaks, check the heater core, cylinder block and head.

  4. Reinstall the radiator reservoir cap.
  1. Check engine coolant level of reservoir
