Diagnostic Test

  1. PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK-I

    WARNING:

    Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from the radiator.

    Wrap a thick cloth around cap. Carefully remove the cap by turning it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Then turn the cap all the way off.

    Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank and radiator.
