ENGINE COOLANT
THERMOSTAT
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTIONÐ4.7L ENGINE
CAUTION: Do not operate an engine without a ther-
mostat, except for servicing or testing.
A pellet-type thermostat controls the operating
temperature of the engine by controlling the amount
of coolant flow to the radiator. On all engines the
thermostat is closed below 195ÉF (90ÉC). Above this
temperature, coolant is allowed to flow to the radia-
tor. This provides quick engine warm up and overall
temperature control. On the 4.7L engine the thermo-
stat is designed to block the flow of the coolant
bypass journal by 50% instead of completely blocking
the flow. This design controls coolant temperature
more accurately (Fig. 22).

denser, be sure the radiator-to-body and radiator-to-
A/C condenser rubber air seals (Fig. 39) are

RADIATOR FAN MOTOR
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTINGÐELECTRIC
COOLING FAN
The powertrain control module (PCM) will enter a
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in memory if it detects
a problem in the auxiliary cooling fan relay or circuit.
(Refer to 25 - EMISSIONS CONTROL - DESCRIP-
TION).
If the electric cooling fan is inoperative, check the
15A fuse in the junction block and the 40A fuse in
the Power Distribution Center (PDC) with a 12 volt
test lamp or DVOM. Refer to the inside of the PDC
cover for the exact location of the fuse. If fuses are
okay, refer to ELECTRICAL for cooling fan and relay
circuit schematic.
WATER PUMP - 4.7L
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTIONÐWATER PUMP
A centrifugal water pump circulates coolant
through the water jackets, passages, intake manifold,
radiator core, cooling system hoses and heater core.
The pump is driven from the engine crankshaft by a
single serpentine drive belt.
The water pump impeller is pressed onto the rear
of a shaft that rotates in bearings pressed into the
housing. The housing has two small holes to allow
seepage to escape. The water pump seals are lubri-
cated by the antifreeze in the coolant mixture. No
additional lubrication is necessary.
Both heater hoses are connected to fittings on the
timing chain front cover. The water pump is also
mounted directly to the timing chain cover and is
equipped with a non serviceable integral pulley (Fig.
42).
DESCRIPTIONÐWATER PUMP BYPASS
The 4.7L engine uses an internal water/coolant
bypass system. The design uses galleries in the tim-
ing chain cover to circulate coolant during engine
warm-up preventing the coolant from flowing
through the radiator. The thermostat uses a stub
shaft located at the rear of the thermostat (Fig. 43)
to control flow through the bypass gallery.
OPERATION
OPERATIONÐWATER PUMP
A centrifugal water pump circulates coolant
through the water jackets, passages, intake manifold,
WJENGINE 7 - 47
RADIATOR - 4.0L (Continued)

radiator core, cooling system hoses and heater core,
this coolant absorbs the heat generated when the
engine is running. The pump is driven by the engine
crankshaft via a drive belt.
OPERATIONÐWATER PUMP BYPASS
When the thermostat is in the closed position the
bypass gallery is not obstructed allowing 100% flow.
When the thermostat is in the open position the stub
shaft enters the bypass gallery obstructing bypass
coolant flow by 50%. This design allows the coolant
to reach operating temperature quickly when cold,
while adding extra cooling during normal tempera-
ture operation.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTINGÐWATER PUMP
LOOSE IMPELLER - 4.0L and 4.7L
NOTE: Due to the design of the 4.0L and 4.7L
engine water pumps, testing the pump for a loose
impeller must be done by verifying coolant flow in
the radiator. To accomplish this refer to the follow-
ing procedure.
DO NOT WASTE reusable coolant. If solution is
clean, drain coolant into a clean container for reuse.(1) Drain coolant until the first row of cores is vis-
ible in the radiator (Refer to 7 - COOLING - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE) 4.7L Engine or (Refer to 7 -
COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE) 4.0L
Engine.
(2) Leaving the radiator cap off, start the engine.
Run engine until thermostat opens.
(3) While looking into the radiator through the
radiator fill neck, raise engine rpm to 2000 RPM.
Observe the flow of coolant from the first row of
cores.
(4) If there is no flow or very little flow visable,
replace the water pump.
INSPECTING FOR INLET RESTRICTIONS
Inadequate heater performance may be caused by
a metal casting restriction in the heater hose inlet.
DO NOT WASTE reusable coolant. If solution is
clean, drain the coolant into a clean container for
reuse.
