10-10 Vehicle Care
When it is safe to lift the hood:
A. Drive Motor/Generator Control
Module (DMCM)
B. Engine Coolant Surge Tank
Pressure Cap
C. DMCM Coolant Surge Tank/
Engine Coolant Surge Tank
D. DMCM Cooling Hoses (Out

E. DMCM Coolant Tank
Pressure Cap If the coolant inside the DMCM
coolant surge tank is boiling, do not
do anything else until it cools down.
The coolant level should be at or
above the FULL COLD mark with
the vehicle parked on a level
surface. If it is not, there might be a
leak at the DMCM cooler core,
DMCM pressure cap, DMCM cooler hoses, DMCM cooling pump or
somewhere else in the DMCM
cooling system.
Notice: Running the engine when
there is a leak in the hybrid
cooling system can cause the
hybrid cooling system to lose all
coolant and can damage the
system. Get any leak fixed before
you drive the vehicle or run the
engine.
