Inspection
Inverter Reservoir Cap Testing
- Remove the inverter reservoir cap, wet its seal with coolant, and then install it on a pressure tester and SST (0K253-G5100).
- Apply a pressure of 93.16 - 122.58kPa (0.95 - 1.25kgf/cm², 13.51 - 17.78psi).
- Check for a drop in pressure.
- If the pressure drops, replace the cap.
Radiator Leakage Test
- Wait until engine is cool, then carefully remove the inverter reservoir cap and fill the reservoir with coolant, then install it on the pressure tester.
- Apply a pressure tester to the reservoir and apply a pressure of 93.16 - 122.58kPa (0.95 - 1.25kgf/cm², 13.51 - 17.78psi).
- Inspect for inverter coolant leaks and a drop in pressure.
- Remove the tester and reinstall the inverter reservoir cap.

Warning
Never remove the cap when the engine is hot. Serious scalding could
be caused by hot fluid under high pressure escaping
from the reservoir.
Warning
When pouring inverter coolant, be sure to shut the relay box lid
