GENERAL INFORMATION
Throughout this group, references may be made to
a particular vehicle by letter or number designation.
A chart showing the breakdown of these designations
is included in the Introduction Section at the front of
this service manual.
COOLING SYSTEM
The cooling system consists of an engine cooling
module, thermostat, coolant, a water pump to circu-
late the coolant. The engine cooling module may con-
sist of a radiator, electric fan motor, shroud, radiator
pressure cap, coolant reserve system, transmission oil
cooler, hoses, clamps, air condition condenser, trans-
mission oil lines and charge air cooler.
• When Engine is cold: Thermostat is closed, cooling
system has no flow through the radiator. The coolant
bypass flows through the engine only.
• When Engine is warm: Thermostat is open, cooling
system has bypass flow and coolant flow through ra-
diator.
Its primary purpose is to maintain engine temper-
ature in a range that will provide satisfactory engine
performance and emission levels under all expected
driving conditions. It also provides hot water (cool-
ant) for heater performance and cooling for auto-
matic transmission oil. It does this by transferring
heat from engine metal to coolant, moving this
heated coolant to the radiator, and then transferring
this heat to the ambient air.
Coolant flow circuits for 2.2L and 2.5L engine
equipped vehicles are shown in (Fig 1). Turbocharged
equipped engines coolant routing and plumbing are
shown in (Fig 2). The 3.0L engine coolant routing is
shown in (Fig 3). The 3.3L and 3.8L engine coolant
routing is shown in (Fig 5).

TURBOCHARGER COOLANT ROUTING
Engines equipped with a Turbocharger maintain a
continuous engine coolant flow through the Turbo-
charger bearing housing water jacket. Hose and tube
assemblies provide a closed loop coolant flow from
the cylinder block water jacket to the turbocharger
housing and back to the cylinder head waterbox (Fig.
2).
Excluding heated intake manifold hose routing
(hose is routed from waterbox directly to heater), all
other system functions are essentially the same as
shown for standard engines.
During any reassembly procedures all pipe fittings
in water jacket, bearing housing and waterbox re-
quire cleaning and application of thread sealant for
entire length of threads. Tighten all fittings to
torque specified in (Fig 2).
WATER PIPES—3.0L
The 3.0L engines use metal piping beyond the
lower radiator hose to route coolant to the suction
side of water pump, located in the V of the cylinder
banks.
These pipes are also provided with inlet nipples for
thermostat bypass and heater return coolant hos-
es,and brackets for rigid engine attachment. The
pipes employ O-rings for sealing at their interconnec-
tion and to the water pump (Fig. 4).
