Engine Cooling System Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Sunfire and 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Inspect the hoses and replace if they are:

Cracked
Swollen
Deteriorated

Inspect all fittings and clamps and replace as needed.

Clean the outside of the radiator and air conditioning condenser. To help ensure proper operation, a pressure test of the cooling system and pressure cap is recommended at least once a year.

If there is a loss of coolant, refer to Loss of Coolant in Engine Cooling.
