Note. Early build vehicle cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant. Late build vehicle cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Do not mix coolant types. Mixing coolant types degrades the corrosion protection of the coolant. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the engine or cooling system.

Note. If cooling system stop leak pellets are used, Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant may darken from yellow to golden tan.

Note. During normal vehicle operation, Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant may change color from orange to pink or light red. As long as the engine coolant is clear and uncontaminated, this color change does not indicate the engine coolant has degraded nor does it require the engine coolant to be drained, the system to be flushed, or the engine coolant to be replaced.

The cooling system components are

1. block heater (if equipped)
2. radiator
3. bypass tube
4. pressure relief cap
5. degas bottle
6. radiator draincock
7. coolant pump
8. coolant temperature indicator sender unit
9. thermostat housing

Engine coolant provides freeze protection, boil protection, cooling efficiency and corrosion protection to the engine and cooling components. In order to obtain these protections, the engine coolant must be maintained at the correct concentration and fluid level in the degas bottle.

When adding engine coolant, use a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and distilled water. A coolant concentration of 50% will provide freeze point protection down to -37°C (-34°F).

To maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system

1. Add Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant or Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Use the same type of coolant that is present in the system. Do not mix coolant types.
2. Do not add or mix different coolant types. Mixing coolants degrades the coolant's corrosion protection.
3. Do not add alcohol, methanol, brine or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze. These can cause engine damage from overheating or freezing.
4. Ford Motor Company does NOT recommend the use of recycled engine coolant in vehicles equipped with Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant or Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant since a Ford-approved recycling process is not yet available.

Principles of Operation

Engine coolant flows primarily from the engine to the radiator circuit and back to the coolant pump. Coolant is sent from the coolant pump through the engine block and cylinder heads. A separate circuit from the engine also feeds the heater core and turbochargers with coolant. The coolant pump, operated by engine rotation through a sprocket which is driven by the timing chain, circulates the coolant. The coolant thermostat is a control valve actuated by coolant temperature. When the thermostat is closed, coolant flow bypasses the radiator circuit and returns to the coolant pump. When the thermostat is opened, coolant flows through the radiator circuit to transfer engine-generated heat to the outside air.

The degas bottle holds surplus coolant and removes air from the cooling system, which reduces hot spots. It also allows for coolant expansion and system pressurization, replenishes coolant to the cooling system and serves as the location for service fill.

The cooling fan draws air through the radiator to help cool the system coolant as it passes through the radiator.

The thermostat monitor is a function of the PCM and is designed to verify correct thermostat operation. The monitor executes once per drive cycle and has a monitor run duration of 300-800 seconds. If a malfunction occurs, DTC P0125 or P0128 is set, and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is illuminated.

For engine specific information, refer to ENGINE COOLING in the Description and Operation portion of this service information.

Inspection and Verification

Note. The engine cooling system is filled with Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant or Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Always fill the cooling system with the manufacturer's specified coolant. Chemically flush the cooling system if a non-specified coolant has been used. Refer to COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHING in this service information. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the engine or cooling system.

Note. Early build vehicle cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant. Late build vehicle cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Do not mix coolant types. Mixing coolant types degrades the corrosion protection of the coolant. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the engine or cooling system.

Note. During normal vehicle operation, Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant may change color from orange to pink or light red. As long as the engine coolant is clear and uncontaminated, this color change does not indicate the engine coolant has degraded nor does it require the engine coolant to be drained, the system to be flushed, or the engine coolant to be replaced.

Note. Vehicles have the pressure relief cap on the degas bottle and no radiator cap.

1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually check the engine coolant level at the degas bottle when the system is cold.
3. Make sure the pressure relief cap is installed correctly.
4. Record any cooling system DTCs retrieved. Refer to the «DTC CHART»(/mercury/mariner/ii-2011-2011/remont/cooling-system-mechanical/#engine-cooling-except-hybrid) in this service information for DTC descriptions.
5. If the system coolant is filled correctly and no DTCs associated with fail-safe cooling are retrieved, verify the customer concern by operating the engine to duplicate the condition.
6. Visually inspect for obvious signs of any mechanical or electrical concerns damage. VISUAL INSPECTION CHART Mechanical Electrical Leaks or weeps at: Hoses Tubes Clamp joints Gaskets O-rings Thermostat housing Radiator Pressure relief cap Coolant pump Heater core (wet floor or coolant odor in vehicle) Degas bottle Cylinder block core plugs Cylinder head core plugs Block heater (if equipped) Inoperative or damaged: Electric cooling fan Wiring, connectors, relays or modules Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) sensor Cracked or damaged: Hoses Tubes Hose clamps Thermostat housing Radiator Pressure relief cap Cooling fan Coolant pump Degas bottle Cylinder block core plugs Cylinder head core plugs Block heater (if equipped) Restricted airflow through the A/C condenser/radiator Drive belt loose, worn or installed incorrectly Broken or weak drive belt tensioner Excessive white or light gray exhaust smoke (may have burnt coolant odor) Coolant in engine oil Engine oil in coolant
7. If the inspection reveals an obvious concern that can be readily identified, repair it as necessary. Test the system for normal operation.
8. Inspect the coolant condition. Inspect the coolant color. If Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant has a clear or pale yellow color, this indicates higher water content than required. Test the engine coolant freezing point range with the Coolant/Battery Refractometer. The freezing point should be in the range -50°C to -26°C (-58°F to -15°F). If the vehicle is driven in cold climates less than -37°C (-34°F), it may be necessary to increase the coolant concentration to get adequate freeze protection. Recommended coolant concentration is 50/50 engine coolant to distilled water. NOTE: If cooling system stop leak pellets are used, Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant may darken from yellow to golden tan. For cooling systems filled with Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine coolant, dark brown could indicate a commercially available stop leak may have been used and could result in loss of coolant flow to critical parts of the engine. Flush the system and refill with the correct mixture of Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant and distilled water. Refer to «COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHING»(/mercury/mariner/ii-2011-2011/remont/cooling-system-mechanical/#engine-cooling-except-hybrid) in this service information. For cooling systems filled with Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine coolant, a pale green color indicates incorrect coolant (green in color) has been added to the system. Use of incorrect (green in color) coolant degrades the corrosion protection of Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant. If incorrect coolant has been added, flush the system and refill with the correct mixture of Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant and distilled water. Refer to «COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHING»(/mercury/mariner/ii-2011-2011/remont/cooling-system-mechanical/#engine-cooling-except-hybrid) in this service information. For cooling systems filled with Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine coolant, a red/orange color indicates incorrect coolant (red/orange in color) may have been added to the system. Use of incorrect (red/orange in color) coolant degrades the corrosion protection of Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant. Flush the system and refill with the correct mixture of Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant and distilled water. Refer to «COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHING»(/mercury/mariner/ii-2011-2011/remont/cooling-system-mechanical/#engine-cooling-except-hybrid) in this service information. For cooling systems filled with Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant, discoloration may indicate that incorrect coolant may have been added to the system. Use of incorrect (green or yellow in color) coolant degrades the corrosion protection of Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Addition of Motorcraft® Specialty Green Engine Coolant may cause the color to appear to be a murky green-brown color. The addition of Motorcraft® Premium Gold Coolant, however, may not change the color or appearance of the orange colored coolant. Detection of contamination with Premium Gold Engine Coolant is determined by the presence of nitrite. If contamination with Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant is suspected, test the coolant with the 3-Way HD Antifreeze Coolant Test Kit. Follow the directions in/on the packaging with regard to nitrite testing. If the incorrect coolant has been added to the cooling system (nitrite is present), flush the system and refill with the correct mixture of distilled water and Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Refer to «COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHING»(/mercury/mariner/ii-2011-2011/remont/cooling-system-mechanical/#engine-cooling-except-hybrid) in this service information. For cooling systems filled with Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant, a darker orange with the presence of debris could indicate a commercially available stop leak may have been used and could result in loss of coolant flow to critical parts of the engine. If sediment is present in the coolant sample, flush the system and refill with the correct mixture of distilled water and Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Refer to «COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHING»(/mercury/mariner/ii-2011-2011/remont/cooling-system-mechanical/#engine-cooling-except-hybrid) in this service information. A light or reddish brown color or reddish brown particles indicate that rust may be present in the cooling system. Flush the system and refill with the correct mixture of distilled water and the correct engine coolant. Refer to «COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHING»(/mercury/mariner/ii-2011-2011/remont/cooling-system-mechanical/#engine-cooling-except-hybrid) in this service information. An iridescent sheen on top of the coolant could indicate a trace of oil is entering the system. For information on engine diagnosis, refer to «ENGINE MECHANICAL SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION»(/mercury/mariner/ii-2011-2011/remont/mechanical/#engine-mechanical-system-general-information) article. A milky brown color may indicate that engine oil is entering the cooling system. Pressure test the cooling system. Refer to «COMPONENT TESTS»(/mercury/mariner/ii-2011-2011/remont/cooling-system-mechanical/#engine-cooling-except-hybrid) in this service information. If engine oil is suspected, the cause of the leak may be internal to the engine. refer to «ENGINE MECHANICAL SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION»(/mercury/mariner/ii-2011-2011/remont/mechanical/#engine-mechanical-system-general-information) article. If the engine coolant appearance is acceptable, test the engine coolant freezing point range with the Coolant/Battery Refractometer. The freezing point should be in the range -50°C to -26°C (-58°F to -15°F). If the vehicle is driven in cold climates less than -37°C (-34°F), it may be necessary to increase the coolant concentration to get adequate freeze protection. Recommended coolant concentration is 50/50 engine coolant to distilled water. Maximum coolant concentration is 60/40 for cold weather areas. Minimum coolant concentration is 40/60 for warm weather areas. Adjust coolant range and level if necessary: If coolant is low, add specified coolant mixture only. If the engine coolant tests too weak, remove some of the engine coolant and add undiluted engine coolant until the readings are within acceptable levels. If the engine coolant tests strong, remove some of the engine coolant and add distilled water until the readings are within acceptable levels.
9. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause and test the system for normal operation before proceeding to the next step.
10. If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).

The engine cooling system maintains engine temperatures during operation. Correct coolant flow through the engine, radiator and remainder of cooling system passages and components is essential to maintaining a correct engine temperature.

Engine coolant flows primarily from the engine to the radiator circuit and back to the coolant pump. Coolant is sent from the coolant pump through the engine block and cylinder heads. A separate circuit from the engine also feeds the heater core with coolant. The coolant pump, operated by engine rotation through a sprocket driven by the timing chain, circulates the coolant. The coolant thermostat is a control valve actuated by coolant temperature. When the thermostat is closed, coolant flow bypasses the radiator circuit and returns to the coolant pump. When the thermostat is opened, coolant is allowed to flow through the radiator circuit in order to transfer engine-generated heat to the outside air.

Engine overheating generally occurs when there is a disruption in the ability to control either coolant flow at the proper rate, the inability to transfer heat from the engine through the coolant (including low coolant), or an inability to transfer engine generated heat to the outside air through the radiator.

For engine specific information, refer to ENGINE COOLING in the Description and Operation portion of this service information.

The engine cooling system maintains engine temperatures during operation. Correct coolant flow through the engine, radiator and remainder of cooling system passages and components is essential to maintaining a correct engine temperature.

Engine coolant flows primarily from the engine to the radiator circuit and back to the coolant pump. From the coolant pump, coolant is sent through the engine block and cylinder heads. A separate circuit from the engine also feeds the heater core with coolant. The coolant pump, operated by engine rotation through a sprocket which is driven by the timing chain, circulates the coolant. The coolant thermostat is a control valve actuated by coolant temperature. When the thermostat is closed, coolant flow bypasses the radiator circuit and returns to the coolant pump. When the thermostat is opened, coolant flows through the radiator circuit to transfer engine generated heat to the outside air.

Concerns of engine inability to reach normal operating temperature typically occur when the rate of coolant flow through some coolant circuits (radiator, heater core) is more than expected given the conditions, or when the cooling fans operate all the time. Heat is not allowed to build in the engine because a heat exchanger is removing too much heat, including the radiator, heater core and oil cooler. In addition, perceived concerns that the engine does not reach normal operating temperature can be related to a low coolant level or trapped air which does not allow for hot coolant to be available at the heater core, an inoperative climate control system, or for concerns perceived or related to an incorrect engine temperature gauge indication.

For engine specific information, refer to ENGINE COOLING in the Description and Operation portion of this service information.

Cooling System Pressure Test

Note. Vehicles have the pressure relief cap on the degas bottle and no radiator cap.

Scheme 8

1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. Check the engine coolant level. Adjust the coolant level as necessary.
3. Attach the D-Gas Adapter to the degas bottle nipple and overflow hose. Install the Radiator Tester to the quick connect fitting of the D-Gas Adapter.
4. Slowly press the plunger of the pressure test pump until the pressure gauge reading stops increasing and note the highest pressure reading obtained. If the pressure reading exceeds the maximum cap pressure listed in the specifications table, install a new pressure relief cap.
5. If the system does not hold pressure, remove the pressure relief cap and wash in clean water to dislodge all the foreign material from the gasket. Check the sealing surface in the filler neck of the degas bottle for nicks or cuts. Install the pressure relief cap.
6. Pressurize the engine cooling system as described in Step 4 . Observe the gauge reading for approximately 2 minutes. Pressure should not drop during this time. If the pressure drops within this time, inspect for leaks and repair as necessary.

1. Pinpoint Test A, B or C
2. Thermostat Visual Inspection

Thermostat Visual Inspection

1. Remove the thermostat.
2. Examine the thermostat for signs of damage including: Valve not fully seated (light visible through the valve) Foreign material lodged in the main valve Bent or broken frame or flange Bent or broken spring Bent or broken valve or valve stem Wax leaking from wax reservoir or a bulge in the reservoir Any other damage or distortion
3. If damage is found during the inspection, remove any foreign material or broken pieces and install a new thermostat.
4. If no damage is found during the inspection, continue troubleshooting the system concern. Go to the «SYMPTOM CHART»(/mercury/mariner/ii-2011-2011/remont/cooling-system-mechanical/#engine-cooling-except-hybrid__symptom-chart) for further instructions.

Radiator Leak Test, Removed From Vehicle

Note. Never leak test an aluminum radiator in the same water that copper/brass radiators are tested in. Flux and caustic cleaners may be present in the cleaning tank and they will damage aluminum radiators.

Note. Always install plugs in the oil cooler fittings before leak testing or cleaning any radiator.

Note. Clean the radiator before leak testing to avoid contamination of tank.

Leak test the radiator in clean water with air pressurized to the maximum pressure listed in the specifications.

MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS

Draining

Note. The coolant must be recovered in a suitable, clean container for reuse. If the coolant is contaminated, it must be recycled or disposed of correctly. Using contaminated coolant may result in damage to the engine or cooling system components.

Note. Early build vehicle cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft® Premium Gold Green Engine Coolant. Late build vehicle cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Do not mix coolant types. Mixing coolant types degrades the corrosion protection of the coolant. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the engine or cooling system.

Note. Always fill the cooling system with the manufacturer's specified coolant. Chemically flush the cooling system if a non-specified coolant has been used. Refer to COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHING in this service information. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the engine or cooling system.

Note. If cooling system stop leak pellets are used, Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant may darken from yellow to golden tan.

Note. During normal vehicle operation, Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant may change color from orange to pink or light red. As long as the engine coolant is clear and uncontaminated, this color change does not indicate the engine coolant has degraded nor does it require the engine coolant to be drained, the system to be flushed, or the engine coolant to be replaced.

Note. Less than 80% of coolant capacity can be recovered with the engine in the vehicle. Dirty, rusty or contaminated coolant requires replacement.

All vehicles

Filling and Bleeding with a Vacuum Cooling System Filler

Note. Early build vehicle cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant. Late build vehicle cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Do not mix coolant types. Mixing coolant types degrades the corrosion protection of the coolant. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the engine or cooling system.

Note. Engine coolant provides boil protection, corrosion protection, freeze protection, and cooling efficiency to the engine and cooling components. In order to obtain these protections, maintain the engine coolant at the correct concentration and fluid level in the degas bottle. To maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system: Add Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B51-A1 or Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B44-D. Use the same type of coolant that was originally used to fill the cooling system. Do not mix coolant types. Do not add or mix with any other type of engine coolant. Mixing coolants may degrade the coolant's corrosion protection. Do not add alcohol, methanol, or brine, or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze. These can cause engine damage from overheating or freezing. Ford Motor Company does NOT recommend the use of recycled engine coolant in vehicles originally equipped with Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant or Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant since a Ford-approved recycling process is not yet available.

Note. If cooling system stop leak pellets are used, Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant may darken from yellow to golden tan.

MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS

Note. To remove rust, sludge and other foreign material from the cooling system, use cooling system flush that is safe for use with aluminum radiators. For additional information, refer to SPECIFICATIONS in this service information. This cleaning restores cooling system efficiency and helps prevent overheating. A pulsating or reversed direction of flushing water will loosen sediment more quickly than a steady flow in the normal coolant flow direction. In severe cases where cleaning solvents will not clean the cooling system efficiently, it will be necessary to use the pressure flushing method using cooling system flusher. Dispose of old coolant and flushing water contaminated with antifreeze and cleaning chemicals in accordance with local, state or federal laws.
