1D – 2 ENGINE COOLING
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The cooling system maintains the engine temperature at
an efficient level during all engine operating conditions.
When the engine is cold the cooling system cools the
engine slowly or not at all. This slow cooling of the en-
gine allows the engine to warm up quickly.
The cooling system includes a radiator(a) and cooling
fan(b), a thermostat and housing(c), a coolant pump(d),
a coolant pump drive belt and coolant hose. The timing
belt drives the coolant pump.
All components must function properly in order for the
cooling system to operate. The coolant pump draws the
coolant from the radiator. The coolant then circulates
through water jackets in the engine block and the cylin-
der head, distributor case(e), throttle body(f). When the
coolant reaches the operating temperature of the ther-
mostat, the thermostat opens. The coolant then goes
back to the radiator where it cools.
This system directs some coolant through the hoses to
the heater core(g). This provides for heating and de-
frosting. The surge tank(h) is connected to the radiator
and throttle body to recover the coolant displaced by ex-
pansion from the high temperatures. The surge tank
maintains the correct coolant level.
The cooling system for this vehicle has no radiator cap
and drain cock. The coolant is added to the cooling sys-tem through the surge tank. To drain the cooling system,
disconnect the lower radiator hose and drain the cool-
ant.
RADIATOR
This vehicle has a lightweight tube-and-fin aluminum ra-
diator.
SURGE TANK
The surge tank is a transparent plastic reservoir, similar
to the windshield washer reservoir.
The surge tank is connected to the radiator and throttle
body by a hose. As the vehicle is driven, the engine cool-
ant heats and expands. The portion of the engine cool-
ant displaced by this expansion flows from the radiator
into the surge tank. The air trapped in the radiator is de-
gassed into the surge tank.
When the engine is stops, the engine coolant cools and
contracts. The displaced engine coolant is then drawn
back into the radiator. This keeps the radiator filled with
the coolant to the desired level at all times and increases
the cooling efficiency.
Maintain the coolant level between the MIN and the
MAX marks on the surge tank when the system is cold.

ENGINE COOLING 1D–3
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
COOLANT PUMP
The belt-driven centrifugal coolant pump consists of an
impeller, a drive shaft, and a belt pulley.
The impeller is supported by a completely sealed bear-
ing.
The coolant pump is serviced as an assembly and,
therefore, cannot be disassembled.
THERMOSTAT
A wax pellet-type thermostat controls the flow of the en-
gine coolant through the engine cooling system. The
thermostat(i) is mounted in the thermostat housing.
The thermostat stops the flow of the engine coolant from
the engine to the radiator in order to provide faster
warm-up, and to regulate the coolant temperature. The
thermostat remains closed while the engine coolant is
cold, preventing circulation of the engine coolant
through the radiator. At this point, the engine coolant is
allowed to circulate only throughout the heater core to
warm it quickly and evenly.
As the engine warms, the thermostat opens. This allows
the engine coolant to flow through the radiator, where
the heat is dissipated through the radiator. This opening
and closing of the thermostat permits enough engine
coolant to enter the radiator to keep the engine within
proper engine temperature operating limits.
The wax pellet in the thermostat is hermetically sealed in
a metal case(j). The wax element of the thermostat ex-
pands when it is heated and contracts when it is cooled.
As the vehicle is driven and the engine warms, the en-
gine coolant temperature increases. When the engine
coolant reaches a specified temperature, the wax pellet
element in the thermostat expands and exerts pressure
against the metal case, forcing the valve open. This al-
lows the engine coolant to flow through the engine cool-
ing system and cool the engine.
As the wax pellet cools, the contraction allows a spring
to close the valve.
The thermostat begins to open at 82
C (180
F) and is
fully open at 95
C (203
F). The thermostat closes at
80
C (176
F).

ELECTRIC COOLING FAN
Caution: Keep hands, tools, and clothing away from
the engine cooling fans to help prevent personal in-
jury. This fan is electric and can turn ON whether or
not the engine is running.
Caution: If a fan blade is bent or damaged in any
way, no attempt should be made to repair or reuse
the damaged part. A bent or damaged fan assembly
should always be replaced with a new one.
The cooling fans are mounted behind the radiator in the
engine compartment. The electric cooling fans increase
the flow of air across the radiator fan and across the
condenser on air conditioner (A/C)-equipped vehicles.
This helps to speed cooling when the vehicle is at idle or
moving at low speeds.
D102D003

1D–4 ENGINE COOLING
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
The main fan size is 320 mm (12.6 in.) in diameter with
seven blades(k) to aid the air flow through the radiator
and the condenser. An electric motor(l) attached to the
radiator support drives the fan.
A/C OFF or Non-A/C Model
The cooling fan is actuated by the electronic control
module (ECM) using a low speed cooling fan relay
and a high speed cooling fan relay. On A/C equipped
vehicles, a series/parallel cooling fan relay is also
used.
The ECM will turn the cooling fan on at low speed
when the coolant temperature reaches 93
C (199
F)
and high speed at 100
C (212
F).
The ECM will change the cooling fan from high speed
to low speed at 97
C (207
F) and turn the cooling
fans off at 90
C (194
F).
A/C ON
The ECM will only turn the cooling fan on at high
speed when the A/C system is on regardless of any
condition.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor (n) uses
a thermistor to control the signal voltage to the engine
control module (ECM).
D102D004
COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The coolant temperature sensor(m) controls the instru-
ment panel temperature indicator. The coolant tempera-
ture sensor is located on the distributor case with the
ECT sensor on an SOHC engine.

DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURE
COOLANT LEAKS TEST
1. Remove the surge tank cap after the engine cools.
2. Check the coolant level.
3. Install a suitable cooling system pressure tester(b) to
the surge tank filler neck using the adapter(a) and
pressurize (110–120 kPa (16.0–17.4 psi)).
4. Check the coolant leaks on the hoses and connec-
tions during 2 minutes.
5. If the leak is checked, replace the parts or repair the
connections.
D102D301
SURGE TANK CAP TEST
The surge tank cap(c) is equipped with the pressure
valve(d) and the vacuum valve(e). Therefore, the surge
tank cap maintains proper pressure. And The surge tank
cap protects the system from high-pressure by opening
a pressure valve, and protects the coolant hoses from
collapsing because of a vacuum.
1. Wash any sludge from the surge tank cap and the
valve seat of the vacuum pressure valve for the surge
tank cap.
2. Check for any damage or deformity to the vacuum
pressure valve for the surge tank cap. If any damage
or deformity is found, replace the cap.
3. Install a suitable cooling system pressure tester(b) to
the cap using the Adapter(a).
4. Pull the vacuum pressure valve to the open position.
If the surge tank cap does not seal properly, replace
the surge tank cap.
5. Pressurize the cap to 90 to 120kPa (13 to 17psi).
6. Wait 10 seconds and check the pressure held by the
tank cap tester.
7. If the pressure held by the cooling system pressure
tester falls below 80kPa (11.6psi) replace the surge
tank cap.
D102D302
THERMOSTAT TEST
1. Remove the thermostat(f) from the vehicle. Refer
to“Thermostat” in this section.
2. Make sure the valve spring is tight when the thermo-
stat is fully closed. If the spring is not tight, replace the
thermostat.
3. Suspend the thermostat and a thermometer in a pan
of 50/50mixture of ethylene glycol and water. Do not
let the thermostat or the thermometer rest on the bot-
tom of the pan because the uneven concentration of
heat on the bottom could result in inaccurate temper-
ature 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 open at 95°C (203.4°F) and it
should be fully close at 80°C (176.4°F). If it does not
open or close at these temperature, replace the ther-
mostat. Also, the thermostat rod’s stroke from the ini-
tially open to the fully open should be 8mm (0.31 in.).
