Radiator: Service and Repair

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

CAUTION:
[Vehicles for California emission regulation]

- Never remove the radiator sensor from the radiator because it cannot be disassembled. When replacing the radiator sensor, replace it with the radiator as a set. When the radiator sensor is removed from the radiator, the powertrain control module (PCM) detects an error and sets a diagnostic trouble code.
- Never replace the DOR radiator with the NON-DOR radiator.
- Never clean the DOR radiator with a high concentration of alkaline cleaner.
