COOLING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS

Engine Overheats

DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURE

Check for a loss of the coolant

Check for a weak coolant solution.

Check the front of the radiator for any dirt, any leaves,
or any insects.

Check for leakage from the hoses, the water pump, the
heater, the thermostat housing, the radiator, the core
plugs, or the head gasket.

Check for a faulty thermostat.

Check for retarded ignition timing.

Check for an improperly operating electric cooling fan.

Check for radiator hoses that are plugged or rotted.

Check for a faulty water pump.

Check for a faulty coolant reservoir cap.

Check for a cylinder head or an engine block that is
cracked or plugged.

Checks

Action

Add the coolant.

Confirm that the coolant solution is a 50/50 mixture of
ethylene glycol and water.

Clean the front of the radiator.

Replace any damaged components.

Replace a damaged thermostat.

Perform an ECM code diagnosis. Confirm the integrity
of the timing chain.

Replace the electric cooling fan.

Replace any damaged radiator hoses.

Replace a faulty water pump.

Replace a faulty coolant reservoir cap.

Repair the damaged cylinder head or the damage
engine block.

Loss of Coolant

Engine Fails to Reach Normal Operating Temperature or Cool Air from
the Heater

Check for a leak in the radiator.

Check for a leak in the following locations:

• Coolant reservoir.

• Hose.

Check for loose or damaged radiator hoses, heater
hoses, and connections.

Check for leaks in the water pump seal.

Check for leaks in the water pump gasket.

Check for an improper cylinder head torque.
Check for leaks in the following locations:

• Intake manifold.

• Cylinder head gasket.

• Cylinder block plug.

• Heater core.

• Radiator drain plug.

Checks

Action

Replace a damaged radiator.

Replace the following parts, as needed.

• Coolant reservoir.

• Hose.

Reseat the hoses.
Replace the hoses or the clamps.

Replace the water pump seal.

Replace the water pump gasket.

Tighten the cylinder head bolts to specifications.
Replace the cylinder head gasket, if needed.

Repair or replace any components, as needed, to
correct the leak.

Check to determine if the thermostat is stuck open or is
the wrong type of thermostat.

Check the coolant level to determine if it is below the
LOW mark on the coolant reservoir.

Checks

Action

Install a new thermostat of the correct type and heat range.

Add sufficient coolant to raise the fluid to the specified
mark on the coolant reservoir.

SYSTEM LEAKAGE TEST

Tools Required

A9921 0012A (124 589 15 21 00) Leakage Tester

Test Procedure

1. Loosen the cap a little and release pressure and remove

the cap.

Notice

For the risk of scalding, cap must not be opened unless
the coolant temperature is below 90 °C (194 °F).

2. Fill coolant up to upper edge (arrow) of reservoir.

3. Connect the leakage tester A9921 0012A (124 589 15 21

00) to the reservoir filler cap and apply 1.4 bar of pressure.

4. If the pressure on the tester drops, check leakage at the

all coolant hoses and pipes and each connections.
Replace or retighten if necessary.

THERMOSTAT TEST

Test Procedure

1. Remove the thermostat from the vehicle. Refer to

“Thermostat” in this section.

2. Make sure the valve spring is tight when the thermostat

is closed. If the spring is not tight, replace the thermostat.

3. Suspend the thermostat and a thermometer in a pan of

50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol and water. Do not let
the thermostat or the thermometer rest on the bottom of
the pan. The uneven concentration of heat on the bottom
could result in inaccurate temperature measurements.

4. Heat the pan on a burner.

5. Use the thermometer to measure the temperature of the

heated solution.

6. The thermostat should begin to open at 82°C (180°F)

and it should be fully be fully open at 95°C (203°F).
If it does not open at these temperatures, replace the
thermostat.
