Motor Electronics Cooling System (MECS) Pump
The motor electronics cooling system is required to maintain an acceptable operating temperature for the TCM. The TCM commands the MECS pump and operation using the MECSP circuit. The pump (located near the radiator) receives the MECSP command. The MECS pump is commanded on for a calibrated time when the vehicle is first started to degas the MECS system. The coolant in the system flows in a loop from the MECS pump, to the TCM, and then into the MECS radiator bottom hose port, out of the top hose port of the MECS radiator, and back into the MECS pump. The cooling system has a degassing system that is connected in parallel between the MECS radiator and the MECS pump. The degassing system bleeds air or gases into the degas reservoir.
