Refilling And Bleeding |
Never remove the cap when the engine is hot. Serious scalding could be caused by hot fluid under high pressure escaping from the reservoir. |
When pouring inverter coolant, be sure to shut the relay box lid to prevent spilling coolant onto electrical parts or painted surfaces. Immediately rinse off any spilt coolant. |
1. |
Remove the inverter reservoir cap (A) to help drain the coolant faster.
|
2. |
Remove the under cover. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Engine Room Under Cover") |
3. |
Remove the drain plug (A), allow the coolant to drain out and then reinstall the drain plug.
|
4. |
After draining coolant from the reservoir tank, clean the tank. |
5. |
Fill the radiator with water through the inverter reservoir cap and tighten the cap.
|
6. |
Switch "ON" the ignition and then perform the EWP actuation using KDS/GDS.
|
7. |
Repeat steps 1 to 6 until the drained water runs clear. |
8. |
Fill the reservoir with coolant. Slowly fill with the fluid mixture of coolant and water (45 - 50%).
|
9. |
Perform the EWP actuation using KDS/GDS.
|
10. |
While the EWP operates and coolant circulates, refill coolant so that the coolant level is kept between "MAX" and "MIN" levels.
|
11. |
Air bleeding procedure of the coolant system is completed when the EWP operating sound gets lower and no more air bubbles are seen from the reservoir. (It would take about 3 - 5 minutes.)
|
12. |
After air bleeding, stop the EWP, add coolant to the "MAX" level, and install the reservoir cap. |
