Method for testing the thermostat on a Corolla: When the coolant temperature exceeds 110 degrees, stop the car and turn off the engine. Open the engine hood, touch the upper coolant hose in the radiator—it should be very hot. Then touch the lower coolant hose in the radiator—it should also be very hot. If there is a significant temperature difference between the upper and lower hoses, the thermostat can be confirmed as faulty. The Corolla, once known as the 'Corolla' in some markets, is a Toyota brand model. It is equipped with Michelin 215/45R17 tires, TRD Sportivo high-performance shock absorbers, TRD TF4 17-inch sport rims, reinforced clutch, and high-performance brake pads to ensure excellent sporty performance.
