Water-Cooled Charge Air Cooler Coolant Level Inspection (VIN Y)

WARNING:

• If the cooling system cap or the water-cooled charge air cooler reserve tank cap is removed when the engine is hot, steam and boiling water may be injected, causing severe burns or severe injury. Perform the removal of the cooling system cap and water-cooled charge air cooler reserve tank cap when the engine is cool.
• Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when removing the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around it and slowly turn it counterclockwise to the first stop. Step back while the pressure escapes.
• When you are sure all the pressure is gone, press down on the cap using the cloth, turn it, and remove it.

NOTE:

• If the "FL22" mark is shown on or near the water-cooled charge air cooler reserve tank cap, use FL22 type engine coolant.

• FL22 type engine coolant is shipped as a diluted solution. Use the solution as is when replacing coolant.

1. Verify that the water-cooled charge air cooler coolant level in the water-cooled air cooler reserve tank is above the LOW mark.

• Add water-cooled charge air cooler coolant if the coolant level is below the LOW mark. (See WATER-COOLED CHARGE AIR COOLER COOLANT REPLACEMENT (VIN Y) .)
