Drain engine coolant so its level is below thermostat.
(Refer to Cooling System - "Coolant")
2.
Disconnect the ratiator lower hose (A).

(Refer to Cooling System - "Radiator Hose")
3.
Remove the water inlet fitting (A) and the thermostat (B).

Inspection
1.
Immerse thermostat in water heated to over 95°C (203°F), then heat for at least 3 minutes to check valve lift.

   
•
Do not use water below 95°C (203°F).
•
Do not directly heat unit as this will damage thermostat.
2.
Check the valve opening temperature.
Valve opening temperature:
88±2°C (109.4±3.6°F)
Full opening temperature: 100°C (212°F)
If the valve opening temperature is not as specified, replace the thermostat.

3.
Connect the ratiator lower hose (A).

4.
Install the ratiator upper hose.
