12 Open the coolant reservoir tank cap.
13 Top up the radiator coolant recovery reservoir to the MAX line.
14 Reinstall the coolant recovery reservoir cap.

NOTE
This condition only applies when the cooling
system is first being filled after a major loss of
coolant. The level of coolant in the reservoir
will then drop, once the engine is started and
normal operating temperature is reached. The
coolant level should then be maintained at the
correct level (between the MAX and MIN
Lines).

4 Attach coolant filler cap (2) to a commercially
available cooling system pressure tester (1), using
the pressure cap adaptor.
5 Slowly pressurise cap to 120 – 130 kPa. The cap is serviceable if it unloads slightly above this pressure
range and holds pressure at 120 kPa.
NOTE
Should the cap fail to reach or hold the
specified pressure, replace the cap.

6 Prior to installing coolant filler cap ensure that the coolant filler neck cap seating surface is clean and
free from obstruction.

Cooling System Pressure Testing

Refer to 3.1 Service Notes in this Section, for
important safety items.
1 Allow the engine to cool to ambient temperature (less than 50 ° C), then remove coolant filler cap.
2 Ensure that the coolant level is correct.

Reinstall
Installation of the radiator is the reverse of removal procedures, noting the following points:
1 Before installing radiator, inspect core to ensure that there is no foreign matter in core fins. Clean out between core fins with compressed air, blowing from rear to front.
2 If the vehicle is fitted with an automatic transmission, remove plugs from the removed cooling pipe ends and the two quick connect fittings.
3 After wiping cooler line ends and smearing clean automatic transmission fluid over each flared line end, push into the quick connect fitting to engage. As a security check, tug on each line to ensure correct engagement.
4 Check the transmission fluid level. Refer to the following references as required:
• 7C4 Automatic Transmission
• 4L60E On-vehicle Servicing
5 Install the following hoses:
a. Lower radiator hose, securing with the hose clamp.
b. Upper radiator hose, securing with the hose clamp.
6 Install the radiator cooling fan and shroud assembly. Refer to 3.13Cooling Fan and Shroud Assembly in this Section. Ensure that electrical connectors and the transmission cooler lines are seated correctly in the integral
retainer clips before install upper radiator shroud.
7 Refill cooling system. Refer to 3.3 Draining and Filling Cooling System in this Section.
8 Check for coolant leaks. Refer to 3.7 Pressure Testing in this Section.
9 Reconnect battery ground lead. Refer to 8A Electrical Body & Chassis.
10 Check cooling fan operation. Refer to 6C1-2 Engine Management Diagnostics. Also check for correct rotational direction of cooling fan.

4 Engine Cooling System
Diagnosis
4.1 Poor Heater Operation
Little or no heat coming from the heater, especially at idle could be an indication of a cooling system problem.
As the coolant level begins to get lower than normal, air enters the system to replace the missing coolant. The heater
core is one of the highest parts of the cooling system and therefore, the first area to lose coolant circulation.
At first, with a small amount of coolant loss, lack of heat will be most noticeable at idle. As driving speed increases, the
engine pumps more coolant and more heat is now able to pass through the heater core.
If coolant level drops even lower, heater operation will become less effective, even during normal driving. Cooling and
engine systems can be adversely affected if problem is not corrected before overheating occurs.
4.2 Leaking Cylinder Head Gasket
Combustion gases leaking past the cylinder head gasket can pressurise the cooling system, forcing coolant out of the
system and into the coolant recovery reservoir.
Indications are air bubbles in the coolant or an overflow condition of the recovery reservoir.
4.3 Question the Customer
To avoid needless time and cost in diagnosing cooling system complaints, the customer should be questioned about
driving conditions that place abnormal loads on the cooling system.
1 Is overheating occurring after prolonged idle, in gear, with air conditioning system operating?
If answer is YES – instruct owner on driving techniques that would avoid overheating such as:
• Idle in neutral as much as possible – increase engine rpm to get higher air flow (due to an increase in voltage
to the fan) and coolant flow through the radiator
• Turn air conditioning system off during extended idling periods if overheating is indicated on temperature
gauge. Further diagnostic checks should not be required
2 Is overheating occurring after prolonged driving in slow city traffic, traffic jams, parades, etc?
If answer is YES, explain driving technique to the customer, that would avoid overheating – same as for prolonged idle – No.1. Further diagnostic checks should not be required.
4.4 Diagnostic Chart
If none of the above conditions apply, refer to the following Diagnosis Chart.
To effectively use this chart, question the customer to determine which of the following three categories apply to the
complaint:
1 If complaint is hot indication on temperature gauge.
W as temperature reading accompanied by boiling?
• If answer is YES, go to overheating on diagnosis chart
• If answer is NO, check temperature gauge and sender
2 If complaint is boiling – go to overheating on diagnosis chart.
3 If complaint is coolant loss. Determine if customer is filling the system correctly.
4 If incorrect filling is not the problem, go to coolant loss in the diagnosis chart.

• DTCs P0341, P0342, P0343, ran and passed:
• The engine is running.
• The ECM has learned the camshafts position.
DTC P0016
Run continuously once the following conditions are met.
• DTCs P0335, P0336, P0338, P0341, P0342 and P0343 ran and passed:
• The calculated engine oil temperature is less than 95 °C.

• The engine is running for greater than 5 seconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0008
The ECM detects that both camshafts on bank 1 of the engine are misaligned with the crankshaft.
DTC P0009
The ECM detects that both camshafts on bank 2 of the engine are misaligned with the crankshaft.
DTC P0016
The ECM detects the following deviation in the correlation between the camshaft position and the crankshaft position for

installation will trigger these DTCs.
• The engine oil condition has a major impact on the operation of the camshaft actuator.
• A low oil level may set these DTCs.
• For an intermittent fault condition, refer to 5.2 Intermittent Fault Conditions in this Section.
• Since fault condition in a wiring connector may trigger DTCs, always test the connectors related to this diagnostic
procedure for shorted terminals or poor wiring connection before replacing any component. Refer to 8A Electrical -
Body and Chassis for information on electrical fault diagnosis.
• To assist diagnosis, refer to 3 W iring Diagrams and Connector Charts in this Section, for the system wiring
diagram and connector charts.
Test Description
The following numbers refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic table:
3 A fault condition in any of the listed sensors will trigger these DTCs.
5 Incorrect camshaft, camshaft actuator or timing chain installation will trigger these DTCs.
