Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Perform the following procedure when filling the cooling system.1. Fill the system using the proper mixture of anti- freeze/coolant and water. Fill the coolant recovery
reservoir to the MAXline and install the pressure
cap.
2. With the heater control in the HEAT position, start and operate the engine with coolant recovery reservoir cap in place.
3. Add coolant to the coolant recovery reservoir as necessary. Only add coolant to the coolant recovery reservoir when the engine is cold. Coolant level in a warm engine will be higher due to thermal expansion.
Thermostat
Description
The thermostat is located in the thermostat housing. The thermostat housing is located on the top of the engine
between the engine and the radiator.
Operation
The thermostat controls the operating temperature of the engine by controlling the amount of engine coolant flow to
the radiator. The thermostat opens when the engine coolant temperature is approximately 90°C. At this temperature,
engine coolant is allowed to flow to the radiator. The thermostat provides quick engine warm up and overall temper-
ature control. The thermostat begins to close below 90°C. The thermostat controls this by the use of a wax pellet
located in a sealed container at the spring end of the thermostat. When heated, the pellet expands and overcomes
the closing spring tension to force the valve to open, and when cooled, the pellet contracts and the closing spring
then forces the valve to close.
Removal & Installation - 1.6L & 1.8L & 2.0L
WARNING!
Always allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system. Do not remove the coolant pressure relief
cap when the engine is operating or the cooling system is hot. The cooling system is under pressure; steam and
hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in serious personal injury.
1. Drain the cooling system (See Cooling System Draining Procedure in Section 06 Cooling System).

Coolant Pump Inspection
Check coolant seal of the coolant pump for coolant leak. If coolant pump bearing is loose, replace the assembly.
Radiator
Description
The radiator is a cross-flow type (horizontal tubes) with design features that provide greater strength, as well as
sufficient heat transfer capabilities to keep the engine coolant within operating temperatures.
Operation
The radiator functions as a heat exchanger, using air flow across the exterior of the radiator tubes. Heat from the
coolant is then transferred from the radiator into the moving air.

The radiator cooling fan operation is controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM) and the fan relays, with inputs
from the following:
•Engine coolant temperature
• Automatic transaxle fluid temperature (with DP0 transaxle)
• A/C signal
Inspect the cooling fan for proper low speed and high speed operation:
• The low speed fan should be switched on at 98°C and switched off at 94°C.
• The high speed fan should be switched on at 105°C and switched off at 101°C.
• If the water temperature is greater than 101°C after the fan is switched off, the fan will continue to operate for
1 minute.
• If the water temperature is greater than 94°C after the fan is switched off, the fan will continue to operate for
0.5 minute.
• If the water temperature is less than 85°C after the fan is switched off, the fan will stop operating.
