DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Engine Cooling
Inspection and Verification
WARNING: Never remove the pressure relief cap while the engine is operating or when the
cooling system is hot. Failure to follow these instructions can result in damage to the cooling
system or engine or personal injury. To avoid having scalding hot coolant or steam blow out of
the degas bottle when removing the pressure relief cap, wait until the engine is cooled, then
wrap a thick cloth around the pressure relief cap and turn it slowly. Step back while the
pressure is released from the cooling system. When you are sure all the pressure has been
released, turn and remove the pressure relief cap (still with a cloth).
CAUTION: Check the coolant level, engine oil and transmission fluid, top off the coolant if
needed. If there is engine coolant in the engine oil or transmission fluid, the cause must be
corrected and oil/fluid changed or major component damage may occur.
1. Verify the customer's concern by operating the engine to duplicate the condition.
2. Inspect to determine if any of the following mechanical or electrical concerns apply.

3. If the inspection reveals an obvious concern that can be readily identified, repair as necessary.
4.
CAUTION: Some vehicle cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft Premium Gold
Engine Coolant VC -7-A (in Oregon VC -7-B) or equivalent meeting Ford specification
WSS- M97B51- A1 (yellow color). Always fill the cooling system with the same coolant that
is present in the system. Do not mix coolant types.
NOTE: The addition of Motorcraft Cooling System Stop Leak Pellets, VC-6, darkens Motorcraft
Premium Gold Engine Coolant from yellow to golden tan.
Inspect the coolant condition. 1. Inspect the coolant color.
„If Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant (yellow color) VC-7- A (in Oregon VC-
7- B) or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B51- A1 has a clear or
pale yellow color, this indicates higher water content than required.
„ Dark brown can indicate unauthorized stop leak may have been used. Use
Motorcraft Cooling System Stop Leak Pellets VC- 6 or equivalent meeting Ford
specification ESE-M99B37- 5 except as noted in ES-F6SE-19A511- AA only.
„ A light or reddish brown color indicates that rust may be present in the cooling
system. Flush the system and refill with the correct mixture of water and engine
coolant.
„ An iridescent sheen on top of the coolant can indicate a trace of oil is entering the
system. For additional information on engine diagnosis, refer to Section 303 - 00 .
„ A milky brown color may indicate that either engine oil or transmission fluid is
entering the cooling system. If transmission fluid is suspected, the cause may be a
leaky radiator. Pressure test the cooling system. For additional information, refer
to component tests in this section. If engine oil is suspected the cause of the leak
may be internal to the engine. For additional information, refer to Section 303 - 00 .
2. If the engine coolant appearance is acceptable, test the engine coolant freezing point
range with the battery and anti- freeze tester. The freezing point should be in the range -
40°C to - 20°C (-50°F to - 10°F). If the vehicle is driven in cold climates less than - 32°C (-
34°F), it may be necessary to increase the coolant concentration to get adequate freeze
protection.
„Maximum coolant concentration is 60% coolant/40% water.
„ Minimum coolant concentration is 40% coolant/60% water. 3. Adjust coolant range and level, if necessary: Visual Inspection Chart
