Remove the radiator cap in two steps. First turn the cap counterclockwise to the first stop. Then push and turn it further in the same direction and remove the cap.
NOTE
Wet the cap sealing surfaces with water or coolant to prevent pressure leaks.
NOTICE
During pressure testing, do not exceed the pressure for which the system is designed. The maximum pressure is 142 kPa (1.45 kgf/cm², 21 psi).
If the pressure holds steady, the system is all right.
If the pressure drops and no external source is found, check for internal leaks. Droplets in the engine oil indicate internal leakage. Check the cylinder head gasket and the water pump.
Remove the pressure tester, replenish the coolant, and install the radiator cap.
Coolant Deterioration Inspection
Cooling System FlushingInformation for Coolant
To protect the cooling system (consisting
of the aluminum engine and
radiator) from rust and corrosion, the
use of corrosion and rust inhibitor
chemicals in the coolant is essential. If
coolant containing corrosion and rust
inhibitor chemicals are not used, over
a period of time, the cooling ...
Cylinder (Upper Crankcase) Wear Inspection
Split the crankcase (see Crankcase Splitting).
Remove the pistons (see Piston Removal).
Assemble the cylinder (upper crankcase) [A], the cylinder
head [B] and the cylinder head gasket [C].
Tighten the cylinder head bolts (see Cylinder Head Installation
in the Engine Top End chapter).

Check 3-5: Warning Indicator Light (Red LED) (Oil Pressure Warning)
Inspection
Connect the leads in the same circuit as Check 3-2.
Connect the terminal [10] to the battery (–) terminal.
Check that the oil pressure warning symbol [A] and the
warning indicator light (Red LED) [B] go on.
If the indicator light does not go on, replace the meter unit.
