2009 Scion tC Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the radiator and its components on 2009 Scion tC?

  A: The radiator installation requires securing the fan shroud assembly by attaching its 2 pawl fittings followed by installing the fan assembly through 2 bolts at 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf) torque. The next step involves putting on the radiator support lower before placing the radiator assembly onto position using 2 radiator support uppers with 2 bolts which must be tightened to 19 Nm (194 kgf-cm, 14 ft-lbf). Connect the radiator reservoir hose followed by the 2 clamps of the engine room main wire and then add the 2 cooling fan motor connectors. The automatic transaxle requires you to link the No. 1 oil cooler outlet tube with the No. 1 oil cooler inlet tube. You should join the radiator hose inlet to the outlet next. Motivate the addition of coolant through the usual procedure then fasten the battery cable to the negative terminal and check for fluid leakage. System initialization should be done because disconnecting and reconnecting the negative battery cable needs specific initialization processes. The RH engine under cover needs to be installed as the last step.
