Charge Air Cooling System Coolant Level Inspection (LSA)
- Open the hood and remove the intake manifold cover. Refer to Intake Manifold Cover Replacement - Front .
- Orientate the charge air coolant (CAC) quick connect fitting to the vertical position.
- Rotate and remove the charge air coolant cap (1).
- Verify that coolant is visible near to top of the opening.
- If necessary, using a small funnel, slowly fill the charge air cooling system through the charge air coolant cap port with a 50/50 coolant mixture until the level is slightly below the charge air coolant cap port. Refer to Approximate Fluid Capacities .
- If the system is significantly low, refer to Charge Air Cooling System Draining and Filling (LSA Static) Charge Air Cooling System Draining and Filling (LSA Vacuum Fill) .
- Install the charge air coolant cap (1).
- Orientate the charge air coolant (CAC) quick connect fitting to the previously installed position to allow for the engine cover clearance.
- Install the intake manifold cover. Refer to Intake Manifold Cover Replacement - Front .
NOTE:
Make sure the intercooler system is cool and that the pump is not in the ON position.
NOTE:
Use a 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL® antifreeze and clean drinkable water.
Pour the coolant in very small amounts to avoid coolant spillage from the charge air coolant cap port or from funnel.
