5.7.4— Check Coolant Level and Hoses
Do not add coolant when the engine is hot. Steam and scalding fluids can cause severe burns.
NOTE: On 2.3L models, remove ten screws to release louvered air discharge panel on left side of enclosure.
1. Verify that the coolant level is between the HOT and COLD marks on the overflow reservoir. See Figure 5-9.
NOTE: Coolant expands when hot, so the level may be higher than the HOT mark. Do not add coolant higher
than the HOT mark.
2. If the coolant level is below the COLD mark, remove fill cap from overflow reservoir and add coolant. See Sub-
section 2.4 —Coolant Water Treatment.
3. Check coolant hoses for leaks. Tighten hose clamps, if necessary.
4. Check hoses for nicks, cuts, tears or general deterioration. Replace as necessary.
NOTE: On 2.3L models, install louvered air discharge panel. Alternately tighten ten screws to 90 in-lbs using a
crosswise pattern.
