An electric engine cooling fan under the hood
can start up even when the engine is not
running and can injure you. Keep hands,
clothing, and tools away from any underhood
electric fan.
If the coolant inside the coolant recovery tank is boiling,
do not do anything else until it cools down. The vehicle
should be parked on a level surface.The coolant recovery tank is located in the rear of the
engine compartment on the passenger’s side of the
vehicle on the 3.8L V6 engine. The coolant recovery
tank on the 5.3L V8 engine is located in the rear of the
engine compartment on the driver’s side of the vehicle,
behind the engine air cleaner/lter.
When the engine is cold, the coolant level should be at
or above the COLD FILL line on the coolant recovery
tank. To check the coolant level, look for the COLD FILL
line on the side of the coolant recovery tank that faces
the engine. If the level is not correct, there may be a leak
at the pressure cap or in the radiator hoses, heater
hoses, radiator, water pump, or somewhere else in the
cooling system.
