    Engine Tech Tips: Subject: Engine Overheating (Climbing Engine Temperature) 1. Relevant Models

    Uploaded by

    Victor Montesdeoca
    This document provides guidance on diagnosing and resolving engine overheating issues. It describes how debris collecting between the radiator, intercooler, and AC condenser cores can restrict airflow and cause temperatures to rise. The recommended steps are to inspect each core for debris, which may require separating the cores, and clean them thoroughly to restore sufficient airflow across the radiator. Fan clutches are often incorrectly diagnosed as the cause when the real issue is restricted airflow from debris between the cooling system cores.

    ENGINE TECH TIPS


    Subject: ENGINE OVERHEATING
    (Climbing engine temperature)

    1. RELEVANT MODELS:
    All models

    2. COMPLAINT:
    Engine coolant temperature increasing to abnormally high readings
    usually noticed at higher speeds, under load, or on long grades.

    3. CAUSE:
    Not enough airflow across the radiator core to dissipate the heat
    generated under those conditions.

    Fan clutch drives have been incorrectly diagnosed as the cause.

    4. CORRECTION:
    Inspect each component for any debris that might be restricting the
    airflow.
    1) Radiator core
    2) Intercooler core
    3) A/C condenser core

    Debris collected on any of these cores will cause the engine coolant
    temperature to increase, eventually causing an overheating situation.

    There have been many cases where debris has collected between the
    cores.

    Since all three cores are mounted in front of each other it is extremely
    important to look between the A/C condenser and the intercooler core.
    Also between the intercooler core and the radiator core.

    It may be necessary to remove and separate each core so thorough


    inspection and cleaning can be performed.

    ENGINE TECH TIPS


    Do not be fooled by the cleanliness of the outside cores
    The first core is the A/C condenser
    The second core is the intercooler
    The third is the radiator core

    ENGINE TECH TIPS


    Look up and between all the cores to verify that there is no debris causing a
    restriction of airflow.
    Any restriction will affect the efficiency of the cooling system

    It may be necessary to separate the cores to effectively clean them

    If after all the cores are inspected and cleaned and there is still a concern that
    the clutch fan is not working properly see Tech Tip “Fan Clutch Diagnostics”
