Overall Function Check

WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high-pressure fluid escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Carefully remove the cap by turning it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Then turn all the way off.

Use this procedure to check the overall function of the coolant overtemperature enrichment protection check, a DTC might not be confirmed. See Fig 1 or Fig 2 .
