2. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1) General Description
The cooling system maintains the engine temperature at an efficient level during all engine operating
conditions.
When the engine is cold, the cooling system cools the engine slowly or not at all. This slow cooling o
f
the engine allows the engine to warm up quickly.
The cooling system includes a radiator and recovery subsystem, cooling fans, a thermostat and
housing, a water pump, and a water pump drive belt. The timing belt drives the water pump.
All components must function properly for the cooling system to operation. The water pump draws the
coolant from the radiator. The coolant then circulates through water jackets in the engine block, the
intake manifold, and the cylinder head. When the coolant reaches the operating
temperature of the thermostat, the thermostat opens. The coolant then goes back to the radiator where
it cools.
This system directs some coolant through the hoses to the heat core. This provides for heating and
defrosting.
The coolant reservoir is connected to the radiator to recover the coolant displaced by expansion from
the high temperatures. The coolant reservoir maintains the correct coolant level.
The cooling system for this vehicle has no radiator cap or filler neck. The coolant is added to the cooling
system through the coolant reservoir.
2) Radiator
This vehicle has a lightweight tube-and-fin aluminum radiator. Plastic tanks are mounted on the upper
and the lower sides of the radiator core.
On vehicles equipped with automatic transaxles, the transaxle fluid cooler lines run through the radiato
r
tank.
A radiator drain plug is on this radiator.
To drain the cooling system, open the drain plug.
3) Coolant Reservoir
The coolant reservoir is a transparent plastic reservoir, similar to the windshield washer reservoir.
The coolant reservoir is connected to the radiator by a hose and to the engine cooling system by anothe
r
hose.
As the vehicle is driven, the engine coolant heats and expands. The portion of the engine coolant
displaced by this expansion flows from the radiator and the engine into the coolant reservoir. The ai
r
trapped in the radiator and the engine is degassed into the coolant reservoir.
When the engine stops, the engine coolant cools and contracts. The displaced engine coolant is then
drawn back into the radiator and the engine. This keeps the radiator filled with the coolant to the desired
level at all times and increases the cooling efficiency.
Maintain the coolant level between the MIN and MAX marks on the coolant reservoir when the system is
cold.
