Service Information: Description
A conventional cross-flow aluminum core radiator (4) is used to cool the engine. The Coolant Recovery Reservoir (1) is equipped with a Coolant Level Sensor. The Coolant Level Sensor in the Coolant Recovery Reservoir notifies the driver if there is insufficient coolant in the system by illuminating the low engine coolant warning lamp in the Instrument Cluster. An Electric Cooling Fan (2) is activated by the Radiator Fan Control Module. The cooling system is also equipped with an additional electric Coolant Circulation Pump. The pump is used to keep the passenger cabin warm by circulating coolant through the heater core when the engine is off.
On vehicles equipped with a Supercharger, there are additional cooling system components. The Charge Air Cooler, Charge Air Cooler Radiator, Charge Air Cooler Circulation Pump, and all related hoses are also part of the cooling system. The Charge Air Cooler Radiator is a conventional cross-flow aluminum core radiator. The Charge Air Cooler Radiator mounts in front of the A/C Condenser, and behind the front fascia. The Charge Air Cooler Circulation Pump is mounted to the side of the Charge Air Cooler Radiator. The pump is used to circulate coolant between the Charge Air Cooler and the Charge Air Cooler Radiator. It operates independently from the engine cooling system. The only common link is the Coolant Recovery Reservoir. Both systems use the Coolant Recovery Reservoir as their source of coolant.
