Engine Cooling - V8 5.0L Petrol/V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol - Engine Cooling V8 5.0L
Petrol/V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol
Diagnosis and Testing
Principle of Operation
For a detailed description of the engine cooling system and operation, refer to the relevant description and operation section of
the workshop manual. Engine Cooling, Section - 303-03
Inspection and Verification
WARNING: Moving parts can cause severe injury, keep clear of moving parts, never place your hands or any part of your
body near to moving parts
CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not
guarantee confirmation of a fault and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being checked and/or the donor vehicle
NOTES:
Check DDW for open campaigns. Refer to the corresponding bulletins and SSMs which may be valid for the specific
customer complaint and carry out the recommendations as required.
If the control module or a component is suspect and the vehicle remains under manufacturer warranty, refer to the
Warranty Policy and Procedures manual, or determine if any prior approval programme is in operation, prior to the installation
of a new module/component.
Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests
1. Verify the customer concern
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage
Visual Inspection
Mechanical Electrical
Coolant leaks
Coolant hoses
Coolant expansion tank
Radiator
Heater core
Accessory drive belt
Cooling fan
Fuses
Harnesses
Loose or corroded connector(s)
Engine coolant temperature sensor
3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to
the next step
4. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the symptom chart, alternatively check for
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and refer to the DTC Index
Symptom Chart
Symptom Possible Causes Action Coolant loss
Hoses
Hose connections
Radiator
Water pump
Heater core
Gaskets
Engine casting cracks
Engine block core
plugs Carry out a visual inspection. If there are no obvious leaks, carry out a
cooling system pressure test. Rectify any leaks as necessary Overheating
Low/contaminated
coolant
Thermostat
Cooling fan Check the coolant level and condition. Carry out a cooling system pressure
test. Rectify any leaks as necessary. Check the thermostat and rectify as
necessary. Check the cooling fan operation, make sure the cooling fan
rotates freely. Check for obstructions to the air flow over the radiator.
Rectify as necessary
