Solution

1. Preparation

• Tools Required: Socket set, screwdriver set, OBD-II scanner, flashlight.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Inspect and Replace Damaged Hoses

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate and visually inspect all hoses in the engine bay, focusing on vacuum and coolant hoses.
  2. Identify any cracked, frayed, or disconnected hoses.
  3. Remove the damaged hoses using a socket or screwdriver as needed.
  4. Replace with new hoses, ensuring they are secured tightly to prevent leaks.

3. Check and Replace Gaskets

• Sub-steps:
  1. If the hissing noise is coming from the intake manifold, check for gasket integrity.
  2. Remove the intake manifold if necessary to access the gasket.
  3. Replace any worn or damaged gaskets with new ones.
  4. Reassemble the intake manifold, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications.

4. Test the Cooling System

• Sub-steps:
  1. After repairs, refill the coolant reservoir with the appropriate coolant type.
  2. Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature while monitoring for leaks.
  3. If the hissing persists, check the radiator hoses and connections for any remaining leaks.
