Air can only be removed from the system by gathering under the pressure cap. On the next heat up it will be To effectively deaerate the system, multiple thermal cycles of the system may be required. ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS (OBD) COOLING SYSTEM RELATED DIAGNOSTICS The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has been programmed to monitor certain cooling system components: If the engine has remained cool for too long a period, such as with a stuck open thermostat, a Diagnostic If an open or shorted condition has developed in the relay circuit controlling the electric radiator fan, a If the problem is sensed in a monitored circuit often enough to indicate an actual problem, a DTC is stored. The ACCESSING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES To read DTC's and to obtain cooling system data. Refer to OPERATION . ERASING TROUBLE CODES After the problem has been repaired, use the diagnostic scan tool to erase a DTC. Refer to the appropriate FLOW CHECK-DIESEL To determine whether coolant is flowing through the cooling system, use the following procedures: 1. 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. 2. Remove pressure/vent cap when engine is cold, idle engine until thermostat opens, you should observe coolant flow while looking down in the coolant recovery pressure container. Once flow is detected install NOTE: Deaeration does not occur at engine idle, higher engine speeds are required. WARNING: Do not remove the cooling system pressure cap with the system hot
