RADIATOR CAP INSPECTION

1. Inspect the radiator cap for damage, cracks, and deterioration (wear, etc.).

2. Connect the radiator cap to a special tester.
3. Increase the pressure until the gauge needle stops moving (valve opening pressure).
4. If the gauge needle remains stationary for 10 seconds at a pressure above the maximum allowable valve opening pressure, the radiator cap is serviceable.
