GENERAL INFORMATION
Description
The cooling system regulates engine operating temperature. It allows the engine to reach normal operating temper-
ature as soon as possible, 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.
The cooling system consists of the following components:
• Radiator
• Coolant
• Coolant pump
• Electric cooling fans
• Thermostat
• Coolant reservoir
• Hoses and clamps
• Coolant temperature sensor
• Heater core
Operation
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 coolant for heater
performance. This is done by transferring heat from engine metal to coolant, moving the heated coolant to the radi-
ator, and then transferring the heat to the ambient air.
