Procedure
-
Perform the following routine using Service Mode or Toolbox (see 0005 - Service Modes):
PROC_VCFRONT_X_START-THERMAL-FILL-DRAIN-COOLANTvia Toolbox: (link)via Service Mode Plus:
- Drive Inverter ➜ Front Drive Inverter Replacement ➜ Start Fluid Fill/Drain
- Drive Inverter ➜ Rear Drive Inverter Replacement ➜ Start Fluid Fill/Drain
- Drive Inverter ➜ Rear Left Drive Inverter Replacement ➜ Start Fluid Fill/Drain
- Drive Inverter ➜ Rear Right Drive Inverter Replacement ➜ Start Fluid Fill/Drain
- Drive Unit ➜ Front Drive Unit Replacement ➜ Start Coolant Fill/Drain
- Drive Unit ➜ Rear Drive Unit Replacement ➜ Start Coolant Fill/Drain
- Remove the rear underhood apron. See Underhood Apron - Rear (Remove and Replace).
- Remove the underhood storage unit. See Underhood Storage Unit (Remove and Install).
-
Remove coolant bottle cap.
-
Use an inspection mirror to make sure
that the coolant level is at the Max line, and top off if necessary.

NoteMake sure that the drive rails are off. Turning on the drive rails will stop the routine.NoteWhile the routine is running, monitor the coolant bottle and add coolant as necessary to keep the fluid level between NOM and MAX.NoteThe air purge lasts approximately 10 minutes. - If a thermal performance check is desired, continue to the next step, otherwise, skip to step 9.
