hose into the vehicle.
NoteInstall the HV battery return hose from the RH side of vehicle and feed it towards LH side of vehicle and down into wheel arch liner area.CAUTIONDo not bend or force the hose during installation. Slowly rotate the hose as required.
-
Install the clips (x4) that secure the
coolant hose to the A/C compressor bracket.
-
Install the battery vent tube to the
battery bracket.
-
Install the rear battery tie down
strap.
-
Connect the HV battery return hose to
the supermanifold.
-
Connect the chiller to battery hose
and the powertrain supply hose to the supermanifold.
-
Connect the sensor to the chiller to
battery hose and the sensor to the powetrain supply hose.
- Install the 12V battery to the vehicle. See 12V/LV Battery (Remove and Replace).
- Remove the fluid catcher underneath the vehicle.
- Fully raise the vehicle. See Raise Vehicle - 2 Post Lift.
- Install the clips (x2) that secure the HV battery return hose to the body.
- Position a coolant drain container underneath the LH front of the HV battery.
-
Remove the plug, and then connect the
HV battery return hose.
NotePerform push-pull-push test to make sure that the hose is fully engaged.
- Remove the coolant drain container underneath the vehicle.
- Release the LH front wheel arch liner from the bungee strap.
-
Install the push clips (x3) and bolt
that secure the LH front wheel arch liner to the HV battery.
- Install the front aero shield. See Panel - Aero Shield - Front (Non-Structural Pack) (Remove and Replace).
- Lower the vehicle fully. See Raise Vehicle - 2 Post Lift.
- Fill up the coolant reservoir up to the Max level.
- Connect the 12V battery, see 12V/LV Power (Disconnect and Connect).
-
Remove the coolant bottle cap, and
then fill the coolant to the proper level.
NoteEnsure that the coolant level is at the "Max" line.
- Connect to vehicle using Toolbox 3.0.
-
In Toolbox 3.0, click Actions/Autodiag, type
"Purge" into the search field, click TEST_VCFRONT_X_THERMAL-COOLANT-AIR-PURGESearch for routine in ToolboxThermal / 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, click Run, and allow the routine
to complete.
NoteMake sure vehicle is not in Drive, shifting the vehicle into Drive will stop this routine. The test will last approximately 10 mins. The test will vary speeds from 3500-6500 RPM (idle speed = ~1500 RPM) and actuate the valve between series and parallel. Speeds can be monitored in Garage under PT Thermal tab. If speed hovers at 7000 RPM, it indicates the pump is air locked, perform the vacuum fill again. Continue to add coolant and purge until the coolant level reaches between the NOM and MAX Lines on the bottle.
-
Inspect the coolant level and top off
as necessary, and then install the coolant bottle cap.
NoteEnsure that the coolant level is at the "Max" line.
- Install the fresh intake duct. See Duct - Fresh Intake (Remove and Replace).
- Instal the underhood storage unit. See Underhood Storage Unit (Remove and Replace).
