ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSTALLATION


  1. INSTALL WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR


    1. A003BCWE01

      Install a new gasket and water temperature sensor with the bolt.

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

    2. Connect the water temperature sensor connector.

  2. ADD ENGINE COOLANT


    1. Fill the radiator reservoir assembly with coolant to the top of the inlet.

      Standard Capacity
      Item Specified Condition
      w/o Heater 12.3 liters (13.0 US qts, 10.8 Imp. qts)
      w/ Front Heater 13.3 liters (14.1 US qts, 11.7 Imp. qts)
      w/ Front and Rear Heaters 15.3 liters (16.2 US qts, 13.5 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).

    2. A003EJI

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

    3. 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.

    4. A003FFY

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

  3. CHECK FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAKS
