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 is a combination of low phosphates and organic acids).
Slowly pour coolant into the radiator reserve tank assembly 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.
Install the radiator cap sub-assembly and reserve tank cap.

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 No. 2 radiator hose by hand, and sensing vibrations when the engine coolant starts to flow inside the hose.
Maintain the engine speed at 2500 to 3000 rpm.
Squeeze the No. 1 and No. 2 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 cooling fans.
Note
Make sure that the radiator reserve tank assembly 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 reserve tank assembly 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 reserve tank assembly 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 reserve tank assembly.

Note
Do not turn the A/C switch on before charging the air conditioning system with refrigerant. Doing so may cause the compressor to work without refrigerant, resulting in overheating of the compressor.
The refrigerant amount should be checked by quantity (weight).
The graph above is shown for reference only. This vehicle is not equipped with a 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 air conditioning system.
WARM UP ENGINE

Inspect for fuel leaks.
Check that there are no fuel leaks from the fuel system after doing any maintenance or repairs. If there is a fuel leak, repair or replace parts as necessary.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Disconnect the Techstream from the DLC3.
INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK
INSPECT FOR COOLANT LEAK
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 a 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.
INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK
INSPECT REFRIGERANT LEAK
After recharging the air conditioning system with refrigerant, inspect for refrigerant leaks using a halogen leak detector.
Carry out the test under the following conditions:
Ignition switch off.
Secure good ventilation (the halogen leak detector may react to volatile gases which are not refrigerant, such as gasoline vapor and exhaust gas).
Repeat the inspection 2 or 3 times.
Measure the pressure to make sure that there is some refrigerant remaining in the air conditioning system.
Pressure when the compressor is off: approx. 392 to 588 kPa (4.0 to 6.0 kgf/cm2, 57 to 85 psi)
| *1 | Halogen Leak Detector |
| *a | Inspect for Leak |
Using a halogen leak detector, inspect for refrigerant leaks from the air conditioning system.
| *1 | Halogen Leak Detector |
| *2 | Drain Hose |
Bring the halogen leak detector close to the drain hose with the detector power off, and then turn the detector on.
Tech Tips
After the blower motor has stopped, leave the cooling unit for more than 15 minutes.
Bring the halogen leak detector sensor under the drain hose.
When bringing the halogen leak detector close to the drain hose, make sure that the halogen 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 checking for leaks.
If a refrigerant leak is not detected from the drain hose, remove the blower motor control from the cooling unit. Insert the halogen leak detector sensor into the unit and check for a leak.
Disconnect the pressure sensor connector and leave it for approximately 20 minutes. Bring the halogen leak detector close to the pressure sensor and check for a leak.
Tech Tips
When checking for leaks, the presence of oily dirt at a joint can indicate a leak.
