Flow Check
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
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.
