Remove
- Remove the rear underhood apron. See Underhood Apron - Rear (Remove and Replace).
- Remove the cabin intake duct. See Duct - Cabin Intake (Remove and Replace).
- Remove the outer HVAC plenum duct. See Duct - HVAC Plenum - Outer (Remove and Replace).
Procedure
- Connect a laptop with Toolbox 3 to the vehicle.
-
Type "thermal" into the search field.
NoteMake sure "Actions" is selected if not already.
- Click the play button next to PROC_VCFRONT_X_THERMAL-FILL-DRAINSearch for routine in ToolboxThermal Fluid Fill/Drain, and then select Run.
-
Remove the cap from the super/coolant bottle.
- Add coolant to the super/coolant bottle, so that the liquid level is at the MAX line (heat pump vehicles) or approx. 6 mm above the MAX line (non-heat pump vehicles).
- Type"vcfront" into the search field.
-
Click the play button next to TEST_VCFRONT_X_THERMAL-COOLANT-AIR-PURGESearch for routine in ToolboxCoolant Air PurgeThermal / Coolant System - Coolant Purge Starthv / Front Drive Inverter Replacement - Coolant Air Purgehv / Rear Drive Inverter Replacement - Coolant Air Purgehv / Rear Left Drive Inverter Replacement - Coolant Air Purgehv / Rear Right Drive Inverter Replacement - Coolant Air Purgehv / Front Drive Unit Replacement - Coolant Air Purgehv / Rear Drive Unit Replacement - Coolant Air PurgeThermal / Actions - Coolant Purge Stop or Coolant Purge Start, and then select Run.
NoteMake sure that the drive rails are off. Turning on the drive rails will stop the routine.NoteWhile the routine is running, monitor the super/coolant bottle and add coolant as necessary to keep the fluid level between NOM and MAX.NoteThe test lasts approximately 10 minutes.NoteTest will vary speeds from 3,500 to 6,500 RPM, viewable under the PT Thermal tab.NoteIf speeds hover at around 7,000 RPM, perform this procedure again.
- Heat pump vehicles only: After the air purge routine is complete, inspect the coolant bottle fluid level and add coolant to the MAX line.
- Non-heat pump vehicles only: After the air purge routine is complete, inspect the superbottle fluid level, and add coolant to approximately 6 mm (0.25 in) above the MAX line.
- Install the cap on the super/coolant bottle.
Install
Installation procedure is the reverse of removal.
