GAS ENGINE
The cooling system regulates engine operating temperature. It allows the engine to reach normal operating temperature as quickly as possible. It also maintains normal operating temperature and prevents overheating.
The cooling system also provides a means of heating the passenger compartment. The cooling system is pressurized and uses a centrifugal water pump to circulate coolant throughout the system. A separate and remotely mounted, coolant bottle is used.
The cooling system consists of
- Radiator
- Coolant
- Cooling Fan(s)
- Water pump
- Thermostat
- Hoses and clamps
- Coolant pressure bottle/overflow system
The primary purpose of a cooling system is to maintain engine temperature in a range that will provide satisfactory engine performance and emission levels under all expected driving conditions. It also provides hot water (coolant) for heater performance and cooling for automatic transmission oil. It does this by transferring heat from engine metal to coolant, moving this heated coolant to the radiator, and then transferring this heat to the ambient air.
- When the engine is cold and both the primary and secondary thermostats are closed. The coolant will circulate through the engine, heater system, and the bypass. The cooling system has no flow through the radiator
- As the engine warms up, the primary thermostat will start to open at 77 °C (170 °F). Coolant will start to flow through the radiator and the internal transmission cooler. The primary thermostat will fully open at 95 °C (203 °F).
- The secondary thermostat will start to open at 95 °C (203 °F). This will increase the coolant flow through the cylinder block and cylinder head and the radiator. The secondary thermostat will fully open at 104 °C (220 °F).
- TURBOCHARGED ENGINE ONLY: the turbocharged engine has a single thermostat that starts to open at 90.5 °C (195 °F) and is fully open at 100 °C (212 °F). This is done to reduce resistance and increase flow.

The water pump draws coolant from the radiator and delivers it to the engine block. The coolant travels through the engine block into the cylinder head. Coolant exits the engine at the thermostat. If the coolant temperature is less than 87°C (189°F) the thermostat directs all of the coolant back to the water pump. If the coolant temperature is between 87°C (189°F) and 102°C (216°F) the thermostat is in the mix mode and directs the coolant to the radiator and the water pump. If the coolant is greater than 102°C (216°F), the thermostat directs all of the coolant to the radiator.
The thermostat also feeds excess coolant and bleeds air from the system through a hose leading to the coolant reservoir. The reservoir returns coolant to the inlet side of the water pump. A port and hose at the rear of the engine block provides coolant to the heater core. This coolant is returned to the engine at the intake side of the water pump.
The oil cooler receives coolant directly from the engine block. A hose returns this coolant to the inlet side of the water pump.
AERATION
If coolant level drops below a certain point, aeration will occur drawing air into the water pump resulting in the following
- High reading shown on the temperature gauge.
- Loss of coolant flow through the heater core.
- Corrosion in the cooling system.
- Transmission oil will become hotter (automatic transmission equipped vehicles).
- Water pump seal may run dry, increasing the risk of premature seal failure.
- Combustion gas leaks into the coolant can also cause the above problems.
DEAERATION
As air is removed from the cooling system, it gathers in the coolant recovery container. This pressure is released into the atmosphere through the pressure valve located in the radiator pressure cap when pressure reaches 96 - 124 kPa (14 - 18 psi). This air is replaced with coolant from the coolant recovery container.
Note. Deaeration does not occur at engine idle, higher engine speeds are required. Normal driving will deaerate cooling system.
To effectively deaerate the system, multiple thermal cycles of the system may be required.
FLOW CHECK
| WARNING | DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLING SYSTEM PRESSURE CAP WITH THE SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE BECAUSE SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN OCCUR. |
To determine whether coolant is flowing through the cooling system, use one of the following procedures
- If engine is cold, idle engine until normal operating temperature is reached. Then feel the upper radiator hose. If it is hot, coolant is circulating.
- Remove pressure cap when engine is cold, remove small amount of coolant. Idle engine until thermostat opens, you should observe coolant flow while looking down the filler neck. Once flow is detected install the pressure cap.
CLEANING
Drain the cooling system and refill with water. Run the engine with the radiator cap installed until the upper radiator hose is hot. Stop the engine and drain the water from system. If the water is dirty, fill the system with water, run the engine and drain the system. Repeat this procedure until the water drains clean.
CHEMICAL CLEANING
In some instances, use a radiator cleaner (Mopar® Radiator Kleen or equivalent) before flushing. This will soften scale and other deposits and aid flushing operation.

The coolant recovery system consists of a coolant recovery container mounted to the RH inner wheel housing, a vent hose for the coolant recovery container, a hose connecting the container to the radiator neck, and a pressure cap.
The coolant recovery system consists of a coolant recovery container mounted to the RH inner wheel housing, a vent hose for the coolant recovery container, a hose connecting the container to the radiator neck, and a pressure cap.
The system works in conjunction with the cooling system pressure cap to utilize thermal expansion and contraction of the coolant to keep the coolant free of trapped air. The system provides space for expansion and contraction. Also, the system provides a convenient and safe method for checking and adjusting the coolant level at atmospheric pressure without removing the pressure cap. It also provides some reserve coolant to compensate for minor leaks and evaporation or boiling losses.
The location of the container allows any air or vapor exceeding the pressure/vent cap rating to escape through the cap. Coolant flows through the container at all times during engine operation whether the engine is cold or at normal operating temperature. The coolant container is equipped with a pressure/vent cap. For more information. Refer to CAP, RADIATOR, DESCRIPTION .

The cooling system is equipped with a pressure cap that releases built up pressure, maintaining a range of 97-124 kPa (14-18 psi).
There is also a vent valve (6) in the center of the cap. This valve also opens when coolant is cooling and contracting, allowing coolant to return to radiator from coolant recovery container by vacuum through connecting hose. If valve is stuck shut, the radiator hoses will be collapsed on cool down. Clean the vent valve to ensure proper sealing when boiling point is reached.

| 4 - PRESSURE VALVE |
All vehicles are equipped with a pressure cap. This cap releases pressure at some point within approximately 110 kPa (16 psi). The pressure relief point (in pounds) is engraved on top of the cap.
The cooling system will operate at pressures slightly above atmospheric pressure. This results in a higher coolant boiling point allowing increased radiator cooling capacity. The cap contains a spring-loaded pressure relief valve. This valve opens when system pressure reaches the release range of approximately 110 kPa (16 psi).
A rubber gasket seals the radiator filler neck. This is done to maintain vacuum during coolant cool-down and to prevent leakage when system is under pressure.
Scheme 57
| 1 - PRESSURE CAP |

| 2 - PRESSURE TESTER |
Dip the pressure cap in water. Clean any deposits off the vent valve or its seat and apply cap to end of the Pressure Cap Test Adaptor that is included with the Cooling System Tester (special tool #7700, Tester, Cooling System). Working the plunger, bring the pressure to 104 kPa (15 psi) on the gauge. If the pressure cap fails to hold pressure of at least 97 kPa (14 psi), replace the pressure cap.
| CAUTION | The Cooling System Tester Tool is very sensitive to small air leaks that will not cause cooling system problems. A pressure cap that does not have a history of coolant loss should not be replaced just because it leaks slowly when tested with this tool. Add water to the tool. Turn tool upside down and recheck pressure cap to confirm that cap is bad. |
If the pressure cap tests properly while positioned on Cooling System Tester (special tool #7700, Tester, Cooling System), but will not hold pressure or vacuum when positioned on the filler neck. Inspect the filler neck and cap top gasket for irregularities that may prevent the cap from sealing properly.
GAS ENGINES
| WARNING | Antifreeze is an ethylene-glycol base coolant and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. If swallowed, drink two glasses of water and induce vomiting. If inhaled, move to fresh air area. Seek medical attention immediately. Do not store in open or unmarked containers. Wash skin and clothing thoroughly after coming in contact with ethylene-glycol. Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of glycol base coolant properly, contact your dealer or government agency for location of collection center in your area. Do not open a cooling system when the engine is at operating temperature or hot under pressure, personal injury can result. Avoid radiator cooling fan when engine compartment related service is performed, personal injury can result. |
| CAUTION | Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and may decrease corrosion protection. Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant is different and should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive Technology (HOAT) engine coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT engine coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency, it should be replaced with the specified engine coolant (antifreeze) as soon as possible. |
Scheme 58
To find the coolant needed. Refer to CAPACITIES AND RECOMMENDED FLUIDS, SPECIFICATIONS .
The cooling system is designed around the coolant. The coolant must accept heat from engine metal, in the cylinder head area near the exhaust valves and engine block. Then coolant carries the heat to the radiator where the tube/fin radiator can transfer the heat to the air.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion protection. Mopar® Antifreeze/Coolant, or the equivalent ethylene-glycol base coolant with organic corrosion inhibitors (called OAT, for Organic Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant offers the best engine cooling without corrosion when mixed with 50% ethylene-glycol and 50% distilled water to obtain a freeze point of -37°C (-35°F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with fresh properly mixed coolant solution.

There are two engine coolant sensors (ECT). One ECT (1) is located in the coolant adapter and one is (ECT) sensor (1) threads into the cylinder block. New sensors have sealant applied to the threads.
Scheme 64
| 1 - ECT |
The ECT Sensor is a Negative Thermal Coefficient (NTC) Sensor. The resistance of the ECT Sensor changes as coolant temperature changes. This results in different input voltages to the PCM. The PCM also uses the ECT Sensor input to operate the radiator cooling fan(s), and send a message over the PCI bus to the instrument cluster for temperature gauge operation.
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is used to sense engine coolant temperature. The sensor protrudes into an engine water jacket. The ECT sensor is located on the top of the thermostat housing.
The ECT sensor is a two-wire Negative Thermal Coefficient (NTC) sensor. Meaning, as engine coolant temperature increases, resistance (voltage) in the sensor decreases. As temperature decreases, resistance (voltage) in the sensor increases.
