  • 2023-08-10: Added a note about performing vacuum fill when the coolant loss is greater than 1L.
  • 1080568-00-A Fluid Catcher
  • 1135762-00-A Kit, Svc Plug, Cooling Hose, Model 3
  • 1108272-00-B Cap, Logic Conn, Inv, 3DU

Remove

  1. Raise and support the vehicle. See Raise Vehicle - 2 Post Lift.
  2. Open all doors and lower all windows.
  3. Remove the 2nd-row seat cushion and disconnect the harness. See Seat Cushion - Lower - 2nd Row (Remove and Replace).
  4. Remove the underhood storage unit. See Underhood Storage Unit (Remove and Replace).
  5. Disconnect 12V power. See 12V/LV Power (Disconnect and Connect).
  6. Remove the 12V cap from the ancillary bay.
  7. Disconnect the HVC logic connector and install the logic cap.
  8. Remove the front aero shield panel. See Panel - Aero Shield - Front (Remove and Replace).
  9. Lower the vehicle fully.
  10. Place a fluid catcher underneath the front of the vehicle.
  11. Release the spring clip to disconnect the radiator inlet hose from the superbottle, and plug the ends of both fittings as soon as possible to avoid coolant loss.
    Tip: Place absorbent material below to avoid coolant on steering gear connections.
  12. Release the spring clip to disconnect the radiator inlet hose from the radiator, and plug the ends of both fittings as soon as possible to avoid coolant loss.
    Tip: Coolant loss greater than 1L requires vacuum fill.
  13. Release the clip to remove the radiator inlet hose from the vehicle.

Install

  1. Place the radiator inlet hose into the vehicle and secure the clip.
  2. Remove the plugs on the ends of fittings and connect the radiator inlet hose to the radiator, and then install the spring clip.
    Tip: Perform a push-pull-push test to verify that the hose is fully seated.
  3. Remove the plugs on the ends of fittings, and then connect the radiator inlet hose to the superbottle.
    Tip: Place absorbent material below to avoid coolant on steering gear connections.
  4. Install the front aero shield panel. See Panel - Aero Shield - Front (Remove and Replace).
  5. Lower the vehicle fully.
  6. Remove the fluid catcher from underneath the vehicle.
  7. Remove the logic cap and connect the HVC logic connector.
    Tip: Align the connector and then pull the handle to locking position to get the connector fully seated.
  8. Install the 12V cap to the ancillary bay.
  9. Connect 12V power. See 12V/LV Power (Disconnect and Connect).
  10. Inspect the coolant level and top off as necessary.
    Tip: Ensure the fluid level is 5mm above the Max level.
  11. Unlock the gateway. See Gateway (Unlock).
  12. On the touchscreen, tap the Service Mode "wrench" (at the bottom of the touchscreen UI), and then tap Thermal > Coolant System > Coolant Purge > Run to start the coolant air purge, and allow the routine to complete.
    Tip:
    • The routine will last for a while after the stop message displays. The coolant pumps are audible.
    • The test lasts for approximately 10 mins. Do not start another routine during this time.
    • Make sure that the vehicle is not in Drive. Putting the vehicle into Drive will stop this routine.
    • The speed in the test varies from 3500-6500 RPM (idle speed = ~1500 RPM) and the actuated valve varies between SERIES and PARALLEL.
    • The speed can be monitored in Garage under the PT Thermal tab. If the speed hovers at 7000 RPM, it indicates the pumps are air locked. Perform the vacuum fill again. Continue to add the coolant and purge until the coolant level reaches between the NOM and MAX Lines on the bottle.
  13. Disable Service Mode by using the touchscreen. See Service Mode.
  14. Inspect the coolant level and top off as necessary, and then install the coolant bottle cap.
    Tip: Ensure the fluid level is 5mm above the Max level.
  15. Install the underhood storage unit. See Underhood Storage Unit (Remove and Replace).
  16. Connect the 2nd-row seat cushion harness and install the 2nd-row seat cushion. See Seat Cushion - Lower - 2nd Row (Remove and Replace).
  17. Raise all windows and close all doors.
  18. Remove the vehicle from the lift. See Raise Vehicle - 2 Post Lift.
