Radiator Cap: Testing and Inspection

RADIATOR CAP INSPECTION





1. Attach the radiator cap to a radiator cap tester with the SST. Apply pressure gradually.
2. Verify that the pressure becomes stable within the specification.

Pressure: 94 - 122 kPa {0.95 - 1.25 kgf/cm2, 13.5 - 17.7 psi}

3. If the pressure is held for 10 seconds, the radiator cap is normal.
