2004 CHEVROLET KODIAK heater

{CAUTION:
Adding only plain water to your cooling
system can be dangerous. Plain water, or
some other liquid such as alcohol, can boil
before the proper coolant mixture will. Your
vehicle’s coolant warning system is set for the
proper coolant mixture. With plain water or the
wrong mixture, your engine could get too hot
but you would not get the overheat warning.
Your engine could catch re and you or others
could be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean,
drinkable water and DEX-COOL
®coolant.
Notice:In cold weather, water can freeze and crack
the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
Use the recommended coolant and the proper
coolant mixture.
{CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and it will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Do not spill coolant on a hot engine.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. You can
remove the coolant surge tank pressure cap
when the cooling system, including the coolant
surge tank pressure cap and upper radiator hose, is
no longer hot. Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise (left) about one full turn. If you
hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss means there
is still some pressure left.
2. Then keep turning the pressure cap slowly, and
remove it.

Secondary Fuel Filter and Water
Separator/Heater
If you have a Caterpillar®
diesel engine, you may
also have this spin-on filter
and fuel separator/heater.
It will be mounted in
the engine compartment
on the driver’s side of
the vehicle.
It has a metal drain bowl at the bottom. Occasionally,
check the bowl for any water or particles.
To check or drain the bowl, do the following:
•Shut off the engine.
•Push up on the spring loaded drain valve until clear
fuel is flowing from the valve.
The particles or water will drain out first. SeeEngine Oil
(Caterpillar
®Diesel Engine) on page 5-20orEngine
Oil (Gasoline Engine) on page 5-20orEngine Oil
(DURAMAX™ Diesel) on page 5-25for proper disposal
procedures.
Automatic Ether Injection System
If you have a Caterpillar®
diesel engine, you may
have this feature. The
ether cylinder is located in
the engine compartment
on the driver’s side of
the vehicle.
To change an empty ether cylinder, follow these steps.
1. Loosen the screw head on the cylinder-to-bracket
clamp.
2. Spread the clamp apart.
3. Clean any dirt from the neck of the cylinder and the
top of the valve before you take out the cylinder.
4. Check the inside of the valve for any foreign matter.
Clean the valve as necessary.
5. Cover the valve to protect it from dirt and take out
the cylinder.

Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker inside the motor and a circuit breaker or fuse in
the fuse block. If the motor overheats, the wipers will
stop until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by
an electrical problem, be sure to get it fixed.
Fusible Links
A fusible link is a short piece of wire several gauge
sizes smaller than the circuit it protects. It will melt in an
overload situation, opening the circuit.
Your starter and other circuits have these fusible links.
The size is printed on the insulation. If the insulation
is burned beyond recognition, consult your GM dealer
for the proper size. Replace a fusible link with one of the
same size and insulation type. Fusible link insulation
is a special purpose high-temperature material.
The hydraulic brake booster motor feed circuit and
starter circuit are protected by a fusible link. Vehicles
with a diesel engine have a fusible link for the intake
heater feed circuit.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens. This
protects the circuit until the current load returns to
normal or the problem is fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
maxi-fuses and fusible links. This greatly reduces the
chance of a fire caused by an electrical problem. There
may be a fuse taped to the wiring harness near the
hydraulic brake booster.
