Engine Cooling – V6 Engine Page 6B1–17

3 Top up as required, using a 50 / 50 mix of clean water and the recommended coolant, which is either DEX-COOL®
long-life coolant or its equivalent, known as Extended Life Anti-freeze Coolant conforming to GM specification
6277M. Refer to 3.2 Coolant Maintenance and 3.3 Draining and Filling Cooling System in this Section, for the
necessary procedures and further information.
3.2 Coolant Maintenance

Do not mix different types of anti-freeze or
corrosion inhibitors, as they may be
incompatible. If a different type has been used
in the cooling system, flush the system with
clean water, refer to 3.4 Cleaning Cooling
System – Cooling System Flush in this
Section and refill cooling system with the
correct coolant. Refer to 3.3 Draining and
Filling Cooling System in this Section.
The cooling system is designed to use a coolant (a mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze with added corrosion inhibitors,
and water), rather than plain water. The use of glycol also raises the boiling point and increases the cooling system
efficiency. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance that the correct concentration level of ethylene glycol in the
cooling system is maintained.
Addition of plain water into the cooling system when 'topping-up' may dilute the coolant mixture to a point where the
antifreeze / anti-boil and corrosion inhibitor properties of ethylene glycol become ineffective.
The coolant should comprise of a mixture 50% ethylene glycol antifreeze / inhibitor with 50% clear, clean water.
Ethylene glycol conforming to the correct specification is either named DEX-COOL® long-life coolant or its equivalent,
known as Extended Life Anti-freeze Coolant conforming to GM specification 6277M. Both are available in a number of
different quantities. Check the current release of Partfinder™ for specific details.

1 W ith the engine off, remove the coolant filler cap on
the coolant outlet housing, located at the front left-
hand side of the engine.

Figure 6B1 – 19
2 If filling a completely empty cooling system for automatic transmission models, mix 5 litres of clean
water with 5 litres of the recommended coolant or
5.2 litres of each for manual transmission models.
3 Add coolant via the engine coolant filler neck on the coolant outlet housing.
NOTE
Do not replace the coolant filler cap before
starting the engine (in step 6). Leaving the filler
cap off allows the engine to warm up without
pressurising.
4 Reconnect battery ground lead. Refer to 6D1 – 3 Battery – V6.
5 Start the engine and set the HVAC controls to: • Full hot
• Low fan
Figure 6B1 – 20
6 Run the engine at approximately 2,000 rpm to warm up the engine.
7 W ait until the radiator fan switches on.
8 W hen the radiator fan has switched on, let the engine rpm drop back to idle.
9 Turn the engine off when the radiator fan switches off.
10 Top up the coolant until full.
11 Replace the coolant filler cap.

Do not loosen or remove the radiator filler cap
when the coolant temperature is high. Steam
or boiling coolant will gush out and you may
be burnt. To open the radiator filler cap, cover
the filler cap with a thick cloth when the
coolant has cooled, release the pressure by
slowly turning the filler cap, and remove the
cap.

Radiator Repair Procedure
Repairable Leaks

Figure 6B1 – 64
Legend:
1 Left-hand Side Tank Seal
2 Core Tubes
3 Right-hand Side Tank Seal 4 Oil Cooler Pipe Fittings
5 Joint Between Tube and Header
There are two types of leaks that can be repaired on the aluminium-plastic radiator; core leaks and automatic
transmission oil cooler seal leaks. Leaks in the plastic tanks or the seals between the side tanks and the headers cannot
be repaired; therefore the radiator must be replaced.
Core leaks may occur in a tube or in the joints between the tubes and the headers. Seal leaks may occur in the joints
between the plastic tanks and the headers or in the joints between the oil cooler fittings and the tank (vehicles with
automatic transmission).
W hile some leaks can be repaired while the radiator is installed in the vehicle, it is strongly recommended that the
radiator is first removed from the vehicle.
NOTE
Minor damage to tubes, or tube to header joint
(holes up to 1 mm diameter max.) can be
repaired. Core replacement is necessary if
damage is any greater.

Transmission Oil Cooler Leak Test
If the transmission oil cooler is suspected of leaking oil, test it before the radiator is replaced, as follows:
1 Disconnect oil cooler pipes at the flexible hose connections. Refer to 3.14 Flexible Transmission Cooler Hose, in this Section.
2 Plug one of the connections, using a blocked pipe fitting and attach an air supply to the other flexible hose.
3 Remove coolant filler cap and check that the coolant is filled to the coolant filler cap filler neck.
4 Apply air pressure gradually, increasing up to an absolute maximum of 110 kPa. If bubbles appear in radiator neck, the oil cooler is leaking and the radiator assembly must be replaced.
Transmission Oil Cooler Seal Replacement.
It is strongly recommended that the transmission oil cooler connector fittings to the right-hand side radiator header tank,
not be disturbed. If coolant is found to leak from either of these two areas, then the radiator should be replaced.

7 Blocked coolant passages in cylinder heads or block – remove cylinder heads and check.
4.7 Black Light and Dye Leak Diagnosis Method
It is strongly recommended that this diagnostic method be used to diagnose fluid leaks. This method is a proven and
reliable method that identifies the specific leak source.
The black light kit can be used for the leak detection of a number of fluids, when used with the appropriate tracer dye.
Examples are: Coolant, Engine Oil, Automatic Transmission Fluid and Air Conditioning Refrigerant (R134A).
The following is a summary of the steps involved in detecting a cooling system fluid leak using black light and dye:
1 Pour specified amount of dye into the cooling system via the coolant filler cap on the outlet housing. Refer 3.1 Service Notes in this Section.
2 Road test the vehicle under normal operating conditions.
3 Direct the light towards the suspect area. The fluid leak will appear as a brightly coloured path leading from the source.
4 Repair fluid leak and recheck to ensure that leak has been rectified.
5 Refer to the manufacturer’s directions when using this method.

Starting System – V6 Page 6D1-2–3

1 General Information
All HFV6 engines are fitted with a Mitsubishi starter motor. This consists of a solenoid switch on a DC motor. The motor
has permanent magnet excitation, which has the advantage of low weight a with high output torque and is visually
identifiable by the absence of pole-shoe retaining screws.
The starter motor does not have field coil windings or pole shoes. These parts have been replaced by six permanent
magnets that are held in the pole housing by clips. The positive brushes are now part of the brush plate assembly.
The solenoid switch is the only component of the starter motor assembly that is serviced separately. If any other parts
require replacement, the starter motor must be replaced.

1.2 Components
Starting System Components
The main components of the starting system are:
• battery,
• wiring,
• ignition switch,
• theft deterrent engine crank inhibitor (a function of the theft deterrent system),
• park / neutral and back-up switch (on vehicles with 4 speed automatic transmission),
• engine control module (ECM),
• start relay,
• solenoid switch, and
• starter motor.
Starter Motor and Solenoid Switch Components
Solenoid Switch
The solenoid switch is used to activate the DC motor and has two windings; the pull-in winding and the hold-in winding.
The pull-in winding has heavier wire and is grounded through the DC motor winding and brushes. The hold-in winding is
grounded through the solenoid casing.
Planetary Drive Train
The planetary drive train consists of an internally toothed ring gear and three planetary gear wheels, which rotate on
sleeve bearings on the planetary drive shaft. The ring gear is keyed into the drive-end housing and is made from
high-grade polyamide with mineral additives.
W hen the starter motor operates, the armature turns the planetary gears inside the fixed planetary ring gear. This drives
the planetary shaft at a reduced speed ratio which turns the drive assembly. A fork lever in the drive-end housing forces
the drive assembly forward to engage with the flexplate / flywheel ring gear on the engine and transmit cranking torque.
An internal clutch allows the drive assembly pinion gear to rotate freely when the engine starts. This prevents the
armature from being driven at excessive speed by the engine.
Armature
The armature shaft is supported at each end by oil absorbent, sintered metal bushes; one in the commutator end shield
and one in the planetary drive shaft. The front end of the armature has a gear profile. This meshes with the three
planetary gear wheels. These in turn, mesh with the internal teeth of the ring gear.
Brushes
A brush plate supports four commutator brushes. This plate is fixed to the commutator end shield with two retaining
screws. Two negative brushes are grounded to the pole housing. The two positive brushes are insulated from the pole
housing and connected to the solenoid switch M terminal, refer to Figure 6D1-2 – 1.
