Loosen the air drain cock plug from the water inlet housing.
Loosen the air drain plug at the top of the radiator 3 or 4 turns.
Add TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC) to the radiator inlet opening until coolant overflows from the engine air drain cock hole. Then tighten the air drain cock plug to the water inlet housing.
Continue to add TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC) to the radiator inlet opening until coolant overflows from the radiator air drain hole. Then close the air drain plug at the top of the radiator.
Tech Tips
If the coolant level at the radiator inlet opening drops after squeezing the No. 1 and No. 2 radiator hoses, add coolant.
Slowly fill the radiator with TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC).
| Standard capacity | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||||
|
Tech Tips
TOYOTA vehicles are filled with TOYOTA SLLC at the factory. In order to avoid damage to the engine cooling system and other technical problems, only use TOYOTA SLLC or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, 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).
Contact your TOYOTA dealer for further details.
Note
Never use water as a substitute for engine coolant.
Slowly pour coolant into the radiator reservoir tank until it reaches the FULL line.
Squeeze the No. 1 and No. 2 radiator hoses several times by hand, and then check the level of the coolant.
If the coolant level is low, add coolant.
Bleed air from the cooling system.
Warm up the engine until the thermostat opens. While the thermostat is open, circulate the coolant for several minutes.
Tech Tips
The thermostat open timing can be confirmed by squeezing the inlet radiator hose by hand, and checking when the engine coolant starts to flow inside the hose.
Maintain the engine speed at 2500 to 3000 rpm.
Squeeze the inlet and outlet radiator hoses several times by hand to bleed air.
CAUTION:
When squeezing the radiator hoses:
Wear protective gloves.
Be careful as the radiator hoses are hot.
Keep your hands away from the radiator fan.
Note
Make sure that the radiator reservoir still has some coolant in it.
If the coolant temperature gauge indicates an excessive temperature, turn off the engine and let it cool.
If there is not enough coolant, the engine may overheat or be seriously damaged.
If the radiator reservoir does not have enough coolant, perform the following: 1) stop the engine, 2) wait until the coolant has cooled down, and 3) add coolant until the reservoir is filled to the FULL line.
Stop the engine and wait until the engine coolant cools down.
Add engine coolant to the FULL line on the radiator reservoir.
INSPECT FOR COOLANT LEAK
CAUTION:
Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Pressurized, hot engine coolant and steam may be released and cause serious burns.
Note
Before performing each inspection, turn the A/C switch off.
Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator cap tester.
Warm up the engine.
Using the radiator cap tester, increase the pressure inside the radiator to 118 kPa (1.2 kgf/cm2, 17 psi), and check that the pressure does not drop.
If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator and water pump for leaks. If no external leaks are found, check the heater core, cylinder block and cylinder head.
CHARGE WITH REFRIGERANT
Perform vacuum purging using a vacuum pump.
Charge with refrigerant HFC-134a (R134a).
| Standard (w/o Rear Air Conditioning System) |
|---|
| 550 to 650 g (19.4 to 22.9 oz.) |
| Standard (w/ Rear Air Conditioning System) |
|---|
| 720 to 820 g (25.4 to 28.9 oz.) |
Note
Do not turn the A/C on before charging with refrigerant. Doing so will cause the cooler compressor to work without refrigerant, resulting in overheating of the cooler compressor.
Approximately 100 g (3.53 oz.) of refrigerant may need to be charged after bubbles disappear. The refrigerant amount should be checked by quantity, not with the sight glass.
Tech Tips
Ensure that sufficient refrigerant is available to recharge the system when using a refrigerant recovery unit. Refrigerant recovery units are not always able to recover 100% of the refrigerant from an A/C system.
WARM UP ENGINE
Keep the A/C switch on for at least 2 minutes to warm up the compressor.
Note
Be sure to warm up the compressor when turning the A/C on after removing and installing the cooler refrigerant lines (including the compressor), to prevent damage to the compressor.
INSPECT FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK
After recharging with refrigerant gas, inspect for refrigerant leak using a halogen leak detector.
Carry out the test under the following conditions:
Make sure that the ignition switch is off.
Secure good ventilation (the gas leak detector may react to volatile gases which are not refrigerant, such as evaporated gasoline and exhaust gas).
Repeat the test 2 or 3 times.
Make sure that there is some refrigerant remaining in the refrigeration system.
When the compressor is off: approx. 392 to 588 kPa (4 to 6 kgf/cm2, 57 to 85 psi)
Using a gas leak detector, inspect for refrigerant leak from the refrigerant lines.
Bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose with the detector's power off, and then turn the detector on.
Tech Tips
After the blower motor has stopped, let the cooling unit stand for more than 15 minutes.
Bring the gas leak detector sensor under the drain hose.
When bringing the gas leak detector close to the drain hose, make sure that the gas leak detector does not react to volatile gases.
If it is not possible to avoid interference from volatile gases, the vehicle should be lifted up to allow testing.
If a gas leak is not detected from the drain hose, remove the blower motor from the cooling unit. Insert the gas leak detector into the unit and perform the test.
Disconnect the pressure switch connector and leave it for approximately 20 minutes. Bring the gas leak detector close to the pressure switch and perform the test.
