The engine thermostat is located in the coolant crossover at the front of the engine and contains two thermostatic devices in one assembly. The thermostat regulates the engine coolant temperature by controlling the flow of coolant through the radiator. The two thermostatic devices do not open at the same coolant temperature. The opening temperatures are staggered with the back one opening at 90 °C (194 °F), and the front one opening at 94 °C (201 °F). The transmission cooler thermostat is located at the transmission cooler outlet connection and regulates the coolant temperature flow through the cooler. The opening temperature is 45 °C (113 °F).
