Before you start

  • NEVER open the expansion tank's pressure cap when the engine is warm. Hot coolant could spray out, causing burns.

Procedure

  1. Empty the coolant from the expansion tank.
  2. Disconnect the connector from the coolant sensor.
  3. Check that the contact is activated and sends a signal when the expansion tank is empty.
  4. Fill the expansion tank with coolant and check that resistance remains the same.
