Bleeding the Cooling System

3. Open the hood.
4. Remove the coolant pressure

cap carefully.

5. Slowly pour coolant into the

filler neck until the coolant

level reaches the bleed return

hole on the inside of the filler

neck. Leave the pressure cap

off.

6. With the cap off, start the

engine and allow it to idle.

7. With the engine idling,

observe the coolant level in

the filler neck. Make sure that

the coolant level in the filler

neck is always visible. When

the level falls, add coolant. A

rising level is acceptable.

NOTE:

During bleeding, air pockets will bubble to the surface. Add coolant

after these air pockets have surfaced, making sure that the coolant

level remains visible in the filler neck.

8. With the engine idling, and while making sure that the level in the

filler neck remains visible, observe the bleed return. If the system is

self-bleeding properly, coolant will be pumped out of this hole.

NOTE:

Coolant flow may be erratic (spitting, misting) for the first few minutes

of bleeding, but as long as the procedure is followed and coolant is

visible in the filler neck, the system should bleed properly.
