Cooling system draining and filling

Draining Procedure

WARNING: To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap or surge tank cap while the engine is hot. The cooling system will release scalding fluid and steam under pressure if radiator cap or surge tank cap is removed while the engine and radiator are still hot.

  1. Remove the coolant pressure cap from the radiator surge tank.
  2. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
  3. Remove the front bumper opening lower cover. Refer to Front Bumper Fascia Opening Lower Cover Replacement (Encore) .
  4. Place a drain pan under the drain cock.

Fig. 4: Radiator Drain Cock
Fig. 4: Radiator Drain Cock

  1. Loosen the radiator drain cock (1).
  2. Drain the cooling system.
  3. Lower the vehicle.
  4. Inspect the coolant.
  5. Follow the appropriate procedure based on the condition of the coolant.
  • Normal in appearance-Follow the filling procedure.
  • Discolored-Follow the flush procedure. Refer to Coolant System Flushing.

Filling Procedure

CAUTION: The procedure below must be followed. Improper coolant level could result in a low or high coolant level condition, causing engine damage.

  1. Raise and support the vehicle.

Fig. 5: Radiator Drain Cock
Fig. 5: Radiator Drain Cock

CAUTION: Refer to Fastener Caution .

  1. Tighten the radiator drain cock (1).
  2. Install the front bumper opening lower cover. Refer to Front Bumper Fascia Opening Lower Cover Replacement (Encore) .
  3. Lower the vehicle.

NOTE: Use a 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL antifreeze and clean drinkable water.

  1. Slowly fill the radiator with a 50/50 coolant mixture until the coolant level reaches the base of the radiator surge tank. Refer to Approximate Fluid Capacities .
  2. Allow 30 seconds for the coolant level to stabilize and continue to fill the coolant filler neck until the level stabilizes for at least 2 minutes.
  3. Start the engine and allow to the engine to idle in PARK or NEUTRAL with the parking brake engaged.
  4. Slowly fill the coolant mixture until the level stabilizes at the base of the radiator surge tank.
  5. Install the coolant pressure cap.
  6. Raise the engine RPM to 2500 rpm for 30-40 seconds.
  7. Shut the engine OFF.
  8. Allow the engine to cool, remove coolant fill cap and repeat steps 4-10 until the coolant level has completely stabilized within the radiator surge tank.
  9. Inspect and if necessary, fill the coolant reservoir bottle as necessary.
  10. Rinse away any excess coolant from the engine and the engine compartment.
  11. Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
  12. Top off the radiator surge tank if necessary.

Coolant system flushing

NOTE:

  • Do not use a chemical flush.
  • Store used coolant in the proper manner, such as in a used engine coolant holding tank.
  • Do not pour used coolant down a drain. Ethylene glycol antifreeze is a very toxic chemical.
  • Do not dispose of coolant into the sewer system or ground water. This is illegal and ecologically unsound.
  • Various methods and equipment can be used to flush the cooling system.

    If special equipment is used, such as a back flusher, follow the manufactures instruction. However, always remove the thermostat before back flushing the system.

  1. Apply the parking brake.
  2. Drain the coolant. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling.
  3. Fill the cooling system with clean drinkable water. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling.
  4. Start the engine and run at 2,000 RPM until the thermostat opens.
  5. Turn OFF the engine.
  6. Drain the coolant system. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling.
  7. Repeat the above procedure until the water from the coolant system is colorless.
  8. Drain the coolant system. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling.
  9. Repeat the above procedure until the water from the coolant system is colorless. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling.

RADIATOR CLEANING

WARNING: NEVER spray water on a hot heat exchanger. The resulting steam could cause personal injury.

CAUTION: The heat exchanger fins are necessary for good heat transfer. Do not brush the fins. This may cause damage to the fins, reducing heat transfer.

NOTE:

Blow compressed air through the engine side of the radiator to remove any foreign material, such as insects, leaves, and dust.

  • Warm water and mild soap may be needed in some conditions.
  • Wash the A/C condenser fin.
  • Wash the A/C condenser and radiator thoroughly.
  • Wash the radiator cooling fin.
  • Repair any damaged cooling fin.
