Specified capacity:

9.1 liters (9.6 US qts, 8.0 lmp. qts)

NOTICE:

When pressing the radiator hose:

1. Wear protective gloves.
   

1. Be careful as the radiator hose is hot.
   

1. Keep your hands away from the radiator fan.
   

HINT:

1. TOYOTA vehicles are filled with TOYOTA SLLC at the factory. In order to avoid damage to the engine cooling system and other technical problems, only use TOYOTA SLLC or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology (coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology consists of a combination of low phosphates and organic acids).
   

1. Please contact your TOYOTA dealer for further details.
   

1. The thermostat open timing can be confirmed by pressing the inlet radiator hose by hand, and checking when the engine coolant starts to flow inside the hose.
   

Slowly pour coolant into the radiator reservoir until it reaches the FULL line.

Press the inlet and outlet radiator hoses several times by hand, and then check the level of the coolant.
If the coolant level is low, add coolant.

Install the radiator cap and reservoir cap.

Bleed air from the cooling system.

NOTICE:

Before starting the engine to warm up the engine, turn the A/C switch OFF.

1. Warm up the engine until the thermostat opens. While the thermostat is open, circulate the coolant for several minutes.
   

   HINT:

   The thermostat open timing can be confirmed by pressing the inlet radiator hose by hand, and checking when the engine coolant starts to flow inside the hose.

   NOTICE:

   When pressing the radiator hoses:

   1. Wear protective gloves.
      
   1. Be careful as the radiator hoses are hot.
      
   1. Keep your hands away from the radiator fan.
      

2. Maintain the engine speed at 2,000 to 2,500 rpm.
   

3. Press the inlet and outlet radiator hoses several times by hand to bleed air.
   

   NOTICE:

   When pressing the radiator hoses:

   1. Wear protective gloves.
      
   1. Be careful as the radiator hoses are hot.
      
   1. Keep your hands away from the radiator fan.
      

Stop the engine, and wait until the engine coolant cools down to ambient temperature.

CAUTION:

Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Pressurized, hot engine coolant and steam may be released and cause serious burns.

Check the coolant level in the radiator reservoir.
If the coolant level is low, add SLLC to the radiator reservoir FULL line.

Perform vacuum purging using a vacuum pump.

Charge refrigerant HFC-134a (R134a).

Standard:

450 +- 50 g (15.87 +- 1.76 oz.)

SST

07110-58060(07117-58060,07117-58070,07117-58080,07117-58090,07117-78050,07117-88060,07117-88070,07117-88080)

NOTICE:

1. Do not operate the cooler compressor before charging refrigerant as the cooler compressor will not work properly without any refrigerant, and will overheat.
   

1. Approximately 100 g (3.53 oz.) of refrigerant may need to be charged after bubbles disappear. The refrigerant amount should be checked by measuring its quantity, and not with the sight glass.
   

Install the intake duct seal with the 7 clips.

Warm up the engine at less than 1,850 rpm for 2 minutes or more after charging the refrigerant.

NOTICE:

Be sure to warm up the compressor when turning the A/C switch ON after removing and installing the cooler refrigerant lines (including the compressor), to prevent damage to the compressor.

Check for engine coolant leaks (Click here).

After recharging the refrigerant gas, check for refrigerant gas leakage using a halogen leak detector.

Perform the operation under these conditions:

1. Stop the engine.
   

1. Secure good ventilation (the gas leak detector may react to volatile gases other than refrigerant, such as evaporated gasoline or exhaust gas).
   

1. Repeat the test 2 or 3 times.
   

1. Make sure that some refrigerant remains in the refrigeration system. When compressor is off: approximately 392 to 588 kPa (4 to 6 kgf/cm² 57 to 85 psi)
   

Using a gas leak detector, check the refrigerant line for leakage.

If a gas leak is not detected on the drain hose, remove the blower motor control (blower resistor) from the cooling unit. Insert the gas leak detector sensor into the unit and perform the test.

Disconnect the connector and leave the pressure switch on for approximately 20 minutes. Bring the gas leak detector close to the pressure switch and perform the test.

Perform initialization (Click here).

NOTICE:

Certain systems need to be initialized after disconnecting and reconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

Check the SRS warning light (Click here).
