Check what? To get the air out its pretty simple. Major note. Do not allow the vehicle to overheat. First off. Fill the radiator completley full with coolant. And leave the radiator cap off for a few minutes while running it. Then put the radiator cap back on. Run the car at 2000 rpm until the fans come on. With hondas it will probably take a while. Driving it will probably work also. You want to turn the temperature to full hot and turn the blower speed to number 2. Make sure you are getting heat from the vents. Turn off vehicle after the fans have cycled 2 times. Let car cool down and then check coolant level ad refill. Should have most of the air out after that. Just keep an eye on coolant level for the next day or so after that. REMEMBER to check coolant level when vehicle is cold. HTH.
