3. Remove the pressure cap (1) from the radiator inlet hose and the coolant will drain from the
system.
4. Inspect the coolant.
5. Follow the appropriate procedure based on the condition of the coolant.
• Normal in appearance--follow the filling procedure.
• Discolored--follow the flush procedure. Refer to Coolant System Flushing
Filling Procedure
Caution: All entrapped air must be purged from the powertrain cooling system before the
final coolant level can be determined. Proper coolant level is critical to avoid engine damage.
Note: The vehicle must be level when filling the cooling system.
1. Slowly add a mixture of 50/50 DEX-COOL antifreeze and de-ionized water to the service fill
port on the radiator inlet hose. Fill the cooling system with approximately 4 liters (4.2 qts) of
the coolant mixture. If 4 liters (4.2 qts) of coolant can not be added through the service fill
port, add as much coolant mixture as possible to the coolant overflow reservoir, but do not
exceed the full hot level indicator.
2. Install the pressure cap.
3. Start the engine and check for leaks.
4. Run the engine and cycle the vehicle from idle to 3,000 RPM in 30 second intervals until the
engine cooling fan comes ON, the engine cooling fan turns ON at approximately 102°C (216°
F). Repeat this process twice before the engine is turned OFF.
5. Return the engine to idle, and idle for 30 seconds and then turn the engine OFF.

Document ID: 2134829 Page 3 of 3
Note: The level in the coolant overflow reservoir will return into the cold fill indicator (2)
once the vehicle cools.
8. Add additional coolant to the coolant overflow reservoir if the level falls below the cold fill
indicator (2).

3. Remove the surge tank cap from the surge tank and the coolant will drain from the system.
4. For LE5 and LAT vehicles, if the engine block needs to be drained, a drain bolt is located near
the bottom of the water pump assembly.

Note: The vehicle must be level when filling the cooling system.
1. Slowly add a mixture of 50/50 DEX-COOL antifreeze and clean water to the coolant surge
tank. Fill the cooling system as indicated below:
• For LE5/LAT vehicles when the engine block is not drained, add 3.5 liters (3.7 qts)
• For LE5/LAT vehicles when the engine block is drained, add 6 liters (6.3 qts)
• For LZ4/LY7 vehicles, add 5 liters (5.3 qts)
2. Start the engine and check for leaks.
3. Run the engine and cycle the vehicle from idle to 3,000 RPM in 30 second intervals until the
engine cooling fan comes ON, the engine cooling fan turns ON at approximately 102°C (216°
F). Repeat this process twice before the engine is turned OFF.
4. Return the engine to idle, and idle for 30 seconds, then turn the engine OFF.
5. Allow the vehicle to cool, before adding additional coolant.
Note: The level in the surge tank will return into the cold fill range once the vehicle cools.
6. Add additional coolant to the surge tank until the level is approximately 13 mm (0.5 in)
above the surge tank seam.
7. Install the coolant surge tank cap.

Vac-N-Fill Procedure
Warning: To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap or surge tank cap while the
engine is hot. The cooling system will release scalding fluid and steam under pressure if
radiator cap or surge tank cap is removed while the engine and radiator are still hot.
Note: To prevent boiling of the coolant/water mixture in the vehicle’s cooling system, do not
apply vacuum to a cooling system above 49°C (120°F). The tool will not operate properly
when the coolant is boiling.
