Subaru Crosstrek Service Manual: Radiator cap Inspection

1. Check that the radiator cap does not have deformation, cracks or damage.

2. Attach the radiator cap tester to radiator cap.

CAUTION:

Be sure to remove foreign matter and rust from the cap in advance. Otherwise, results of pressure test will be incorrect.
