Radiator Assembly

Performance of radiator maintenance demands battery grounding cable removal together with engine-cooling fluid removal. Start with air cleaner engine removal followed by disconnecting upper radiator hose from the bypass tube and separating the upper supports of the radiator. The service begins with detaching the two clips from the fan shroud where the radiator overflow hose and upper radiator hose are located. Disembark the transmission fluid cooler lines from respective fluid cooler fittings and detach auxiliary electric cooling fan motor wires from the engine control sensor. Secure the A/C condenser core along with its bracket in position before uninstalling the nuts which hold the condenser core to the radiator. Drain all fluids and liquid below the vehicle. Position it on a hoist and remove the radiator air deflector and subsequently detach the lower radiator hose from the radiator. You should first remove the power steering/transmission fluid cooler along with pin-type retainers from the bumper cover and place it beside the cooler. The support fixation enables you to remove the bolts which retain the left-hand and right-hand radiator support assemblies. Remove first the fan shroud followed by the radiator and then the radiator support from the vehicle while also taking out the upper radiator hose from the radiator and fan shroud retaining bolts. The procedure ends by executing the opposite steps of the removal process.

Service of the radiator starts with disconnecting the battery cable then draining the engine cooling fluid. Service of the radiator begins by first removing the engine air cleaner and then disconnecting the upper radiator hose from the water bypass tube as well as the upper radiator supports. The radiator overflow hose together with the upper radiator hose and two clips from the fan shroud need to be detached. The transmission fluid cooler lines need separation from their inlet and outlet fittings before disconnecting the engine control sensor wiring from the auxiliary electric cooling fan motor. You must support the A/C condenser core and bracket before removing the nuts which hold the A/C condenser core to the radiator. Lift the vehicle through hoisting the process and eliminate the radiator air deflector before removing the lower radiator hose. Extract the bumper cover pin-type retainers and completely remove the power steering/transmission fluid cooler while setting it to the side. Secure the fan shroud together with both the radiator and radiator support. Afterward, disconnect the bolts which maintain the left and right radiator supports. The necessary operation includes these sequential steps: Lower and remove the fan shroud along with the radiator and radiator support from the vehicle before taking the upper radiator hose off the radiator and the two bolts securing the fan shroud to the radiator. The process ends by performing the opposite of previous steps for removal.
