How do you bleed the air off engine cooling system of a 2001 Toyota Camry 2.2 liter engine?

To bleed the air from the cooling system of your 2001 Toyota Camry 2.2 liter engine, follow these steps:

1. Allow the engine to cool down.

2. Locate the bleeding valve on the thermostat housing. On your Camry, it can be found on the engine side of the upper radiator hose.

3. Open the bleeding valve by turning it counterclockwise.

4. Add engine coolant to the radiator until the coolant level reaches the "FULL" mark on the coolant reservoir. If you don’t have engine coolant, you could use 50:50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water.

5. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes.

6. Keep adding engine coolant to the radiator as necessary to maintain the level at the "FULL" mark.

7. As you add coolant to the radiator, the air should be expelled through the bleeding valve.

8. Once no more air bubbles come out of the bleeding valve, close the valve by turning it clockwise.

9. Top up the coolant reservoir if necessary.
