ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSTALLATION


  1. INSTALL ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR


    1. Install a new gasket onto the engine coolant temperature sensor.

    2. A01BAGKE01

      Using SST, install the engine coolant temperature sensor.

      SST
      09817-33190
      Torque:
      20 N*m  { 200 kgf*cm, 14 ft.*lbf }

    3. Connect the engine coolant temperature sensor connector.

  2. ADD ENGINE COOLANT


    1. Firmly tighten the drain plugs.

    2. Fill the radiator reservoir with coolant to the top of the inlet.

      Standard Capacity
      Item Specified Condition
      w/o Heater 13.6 liters (14.4 US qts, 12.0 Imp. qts)
      w/ Front Heater 14.6 liters (15.4 US qts, 12.8 Imp. qts)
      w/ Front and Rear Heaters 16.6 liters (17.5 US qts, 14.6 Imp. qts)

      Note

      Do not substitute plain water for engine coolant.

      Tech Tips


      • Use of improper coolants may damage the engine cooling system.

      • Use only Toyota Super Long Life Coolant or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology (coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology consists of a combination of low phosphates and organic acids).

    3. Loosen the bleeder plug of the outlet housing.

    4. When air is bled and the coolant drains out, firmly tighten the bleeder plug.

      Torque:
      8.0 N*m  { 82 kgf*cm, 71 in.*lbf }
    5. A01BGFB

      Add coolant up to the B line mark in the radiator reservoir and install the reservoir cap.

    6. Warm up the engine until the thermostat opens.


      1. While the thermostat is open, circulate the coolant for several minutes.

        Tech Tips

        The thermostat open timing can be confirmed by pressing the inlet radiator hose by hand, and checking when the engine coolant starts to flow inside the hose.

    7. A01BBOM

      After the engine cools down, check that the coolant level is between the LOW and FULL level marks.

  3. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

    Torque:
    5.4 N*m  { 55 kgf*cm, 48 in.*lbf }

  4. INSPECT FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAK

  5. PERFORM INITIALIZATION


    1. Perform initialization procedures Click here.

      Note

      Certain systems need to be initialized after reconnecting the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
