Hyundai Santa Fe DM 2013-2018 Service Manual / Engine Mechanical System / Cooling System / Radiator. Repair procedures

Removal and Installation

1.	Disconnect the battery terminals.

2.	Remove the air cleaner assembly.

3.	Remove the under cover.

4.	Loosen the drain plug, and drain the coolant. Remove the radiator cap to speed draining.

5.	Remove the front bumper.

6.	Remove the radiator upper hose (A) and lowr hose (B).

7.	Disconnect the PWM module connector (A).

8.	Remove the air intake shield (A).

9.	Remove the upper air guard (A) and radiator over flow hose (B).

10.	Remove the horn.

11.

Remove the upper bracket (A) and air guard (B).

Tightening torque:

7.8 ~ 11.7 N.m (0.8 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 5.7 ~ 8.6 lb-ft)

12.	Separate the condenser (A) from the radiator (B) and then remove the radiator assembly.

13.	Install in the reverse order of removal.

14.

Fill the radiator with coolant and check for leaks.

•	Bleed air from the

-	Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (Until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.)

-	Turn off engine. Check the coolant level and add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the

-	Put the radiator cap on tightly, then run engine again and check for leaks.

Inspection

Radiator Cap Testing

1.	Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine coolant, and then install it on a pressure tester.

2.	Apply a pressure of 79.4 ~ 122.58 kPa (0.95 ~ 1.25 kgf/cm², 11.5 ~ 17.78 psi).

3.	Check for a drop in pressure.

4.	If the pressure drops, replace the cap.

Radiator Leakage Test

1.	Wait until engine is cool, then carefully remove the radiator cap and fill the radiator with engine coolant, then install it on the pressure tester.

2.	Apply a pressure tester to the radiator and apply a pressure of 93.16 ~ 122.58 kPa (0.95 ~ 1.25 kgf/cm², 13.51 ~ 17.78 psi).

3.	Inspect for engine coolant leaks and a drop in pressure.

Remove the tester and reinstall the radiator cap.

Check for engine oil in coolant and/or coolant in engine oil.
