ARD nozzle heater o-rings
Result : The ARD nozzle heater o-rings are OK.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
Result : The ARD nozzle heater o-ring seals are NOT OK.
Repair : In order to check for leakage at the ARD nozzle heater o-rings, pressurize the cooling system and then remove the ARD head. Inspect the combustion can for signs of coolant. If the o-rings are leaking coolant, replace the ARD head.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 6.
6. Check for the Correct Mixture of Antifreeze and Water.
Antifreeze mixture
Result : The antifreeze and water mixture is OK.
Proceed to Test Step 7.
Result : The antifreeze and water mixture is NOT OK.
Repair : Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 7.
7. Check for a Faulty Coolant Level Sensor
A. If an electrical problem with the coolant level sensor is suspected, refer to Troubleshooting, "Coolant Level - Test" for information that is related to troubleshooting an electrical problem with the coolant level sensor.
Coolant Level Sensor
Result: The coolant level sensor is not operating properly.
Repair: Replace the coolant level sensor.
