WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L and 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
| 1 - Low Temperature Coolant Bottle (Shown as example) |
| 2 - SVT275 Cooling Pressure Tester |
- Remove the pressure cap. Wipe the inside of filler neck and examine pressure cap sealing surface for nicks, cracks, paint, dirt and residue.
- Inspect the outside of the filler neck. If damaged, seating of the pressure cap valve and tester seal could be affected.
- Attach the SVT275 Cooling Pressure Tester available from Mopar® Service Equipment, or an equivalent to the pressurized coolant bottle.
- Operate tester pump to apply 34 kPa (5 psi) pressure to system. If hoses enlarge excessively or bulges while testing, replace as necessary.
- Observe gauge pointer and determine condition of cooling system according to following criteria:
- Holds Steady: If pointer remains steady for two minutes, serious coolant leaks are not present in system.
- Drops Slowly: Indicates a small leak or seepage is occurring. Examine all connections for seepage or slight leakage with a flashlight. Inspect radiator, hoses, gasket edges and components.
- Drops Quickly: Indicates that serious leakage is occurring. Examine system for internal and external leakage.
