Kia Rio: Radiator: Inspection
Radiator Cap Testing
| 1. |
Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine coolant, then
install it to pressure tester.
|
| 2. |
Apply a pressure of 93 ~ 123kPa (0.95 ~ 1.25kgf/cm², 14 ~ 19psi).
|
| 3. |
Check for a drop in pressure.
|
| 4. |
If the pressure drops, replace the cap.
|
Radiator Leakage Test
| 1. |
Wait until engine is cool, then carefully remove the radiator
cap and fill the radiator with engine coolant, then install a pressure
tester on it.
|
| 2. |
Apply a pressure of 93 ~ 123kPa (0.95 ~ 1.25kgf/cm², 14 ~ 19psi).
|
| 3. |
Inspect for engine coolant leaks and a drop in pressure.
|
| 4. |
If the pressure drops, check hoses, the radiator and the water
pump for leakage. If there is no leakage, inspect the heater core, the
cylinder block and the cylinder head.
|
| 5. |
Remove the tester and reinstall the radiator cap.
|
Fan Motor
| 1. |
Disconnect the fan motor connector from the resistor.
|
| 2. |
Connect the battery voltage to the "+" terminal and ground to
"-" terminal.
|
| 3. |
Check the cooling fan motor operates well.
