4. 4. If the concern remains after the inspection, determine the symptom(s) and go to the Symptom Chart. Symptom Chart Condition Possible Source Action • Loss of Coolant • Radiator. • GO to Pinpoint Test A. • Water pump seal. • Radiator hoses. • Heater hoses/tubes. • Heater core (if equipped). • Engine gaskets. • Degas bottle. • The Engine Overheats • Water thermostat. • GO to Pinpoint Test B. • Water pump. • Internal engine coolant leak. • Radiator. • Cooling fan. • Pressure relief cap. • The Engine Does Not Reach • Water thermostat. • GO to Pinpoint Test C. Normal Operating Temperature Special Service Tools called for by the procedures can be obtained by calling: 1-800-ROTUNDA (1-800-768-8632). 05-25 WSG-1068 COOLING SYSTEM PINPOINT TEST A: LOSS OF COOLANT TEST CONDITIONS TEST DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS 1 CHECK THE ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL NOTE: Allow the engine to cool before checking the engine coolant level. Visually check the engine coolant level at the degas bottle (if equipped). • Is the engine coolant level within specification? Yes GO to 2. No REFILL the engine coolant as necessary. GO to 6. 2 CHECK THE PRESSURE RELIEF CAP Perform the Pressure Relief Cap Test. For additional information, refer to Component Tests, Cap-Pressure Relief in this section. • Is pressure relief cap OK? Yes GO to 3. No INSTALL a new pressure relief cap. TEST the system for normal operation. 3 CHECK THE ENGINE COOLANT FOR INTERNAL LEAK Inspect the engine coolant in degas bottle for signs of engine oil. • Is oil evident in coolant? Yes If engine oil is evident, GO to Section 01. No GO to 4.

Wrap a thick cloth around the pressure relief cap and turn it slowly one-half turn counterclockwise. Stepping back while the pressure is released from the cooling system. When you are sure all the pressure has been released, (still with a cloth) turn counterclockwise and remove the pressure relief cap. Inspect the pressure relief cap for foreign material between the sealing gasket and the diaphragm. • Is the pressure relief cap OK? Yes GO to 6. No CLEAN or INSTALL a new pressure relief cap. TEST the system for normal operation. GO to

Add coolant to the degas bottle until fluid is between the coolant fill level marks. • Does the degas bottle leak? Yes INSTALL a new degas bottle. TEST the system for normal operation. No PERFORM the cooling system pressure test. For additional information, refer to Component Tests and Pressure Test in this section. REPAIR as necessary. TEST the system for normal operation.
