*Opens the fuse that supplies voltage to the engine coolant thermostat


Circuit/System Description


A wax pellet-type thermostat controls the flow of the engine coolant through the engine cooling system. The wax element of the thermostat expands and opens the thermostat when it is heated. The engine coolant thermostat heater uses an electric heating element to help heat the wax pellet opening the thermostat to increase cooling system performance during certain operation conditions. Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the thermostat heater through a fuse. If certain driving conditions are met the engine control module (ECM) controls the thermostat heater by providing a pulse width modulated (PWM) ground.

Circuit Description


The engine coolant radiator temperature sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the engine coolant in the radiator. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the engine coolant radiator temperature signal circuit and supplies a ground to the low reference circuit. The purpose of this diagnostic is to determine if the input from the RCT sensor is skewed warmer than normal. The internal clock of the ECM will record the amount of time the engine is OFF. If the required engine OFF time is met at start-up, the ECM will compare the temperature difference between the actual measured RCT and ECT sensors.

The following table illustrates the difference between temperature, resistance, and voltage:

Circuit/System Description


The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 indirectly controls the radiator fans. When propulsion is active, the engine control module (ECM) processes all requests for the cooling fans to be turned ON regardless of which module originates the request. The ECM decides if and at what speed the cooling fans should operate. The ECM sends the cooling fan command to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 sends the signal to the cooling fans to operate and at what speed. If the vehicle is in Charge Mode and the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 requests the cooling fans to operate and the ECM is not awake, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 will control the cooling fans without ECM intervention.

The ECM communicates the fan command PWM signal to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 through the cooling fan speed signal circuit/hardwire circuit and also sends a redundant serial data signal. Since the hardwire circuit is an output from the ECM but an input to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2, each module has unique DTCs to monitor the same circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC


image DTC P2537 is not set.

image The 12 V battery voltage is equal to or greater than 11 V. image The accessory circuit is active for greater than 5 s.

image The DTCs run continuously when the conditions above are met.


Conditions for Setting the DTC


The ECM detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the output circuit do not match for greater than 5 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


DTCs P1485, P1486 and P1487 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC


DTCs P1485, P1486 and P1487 are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids


DTCs P1485, P1486 and P1487 will not keep the cooling fans from operating. If one of these DTCs is set the HPCM 2 will command the cooling fans to 90%. If the cooling fans do not operate, refer to DTC P148A- P148C for further diagnosis.

SYMPTOMS - ENGINE COOLING

Important Preliminary Inspections Before Starting


Before using the Symptom diagnosis, perform the following:

image Perform Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle and verify all of the following items:

image Ensure that the engine control module (ECM) and indicator lamp are operating correctly. image Ensure that there are no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that are stored.

image Scan tool data is within a normal operating range.

image Verify the customer concern.

image Perform the Visual/Physical Inspection in this section. The visual/physical inspection is extremely important, and can lead to correcting a condition without additional testing. It may also help reveal the cause of an intermittent condition.

image Locate the correct symptom. Perform the tests and inspections associated with the symptom.

Review the entire cooling system operation in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. Refer to

Cooling System Description and Operation, and Hybrid/EV Cooling System Description and Operation .

Visual/Physical Inspection


CAUTION: Use the connector test adapter kit EL-35616-F for any test that requires probing the following items:

image The control module harness connectors image The electrical center fuse/relay cavities image The component terminals

image The component harness connector

Using this kit will prevent damage caused by the improper probing of connector terminals.


Several of the symptom procedures call for a careful visual and physical inspection. This can lead to correcting a condition without further tests and can save time. This inspection should include the following areas:

image Ensure that all control module grounds are clean, tight, and correctly located.

image Inspect cooling system hoses and pipes for splits, kinks, and proper connections. Inspect thoroughly for any type of a leak or a restriction.

image Inspect for a dirty or restricted engine cooling radiator and HVAC condenser.

image Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the Cooling System.

image Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom.

image Inspect the surge tank reservoirs for the proper coolant level.


Identifying Intermittent Conditions


Many intermittent conditions occur with harness or connector movement due to engine torque, rough pavement, vibration or physical movement of a component. Refer to the following for a list to help isolate an intermittent condition:

image Moisture and water intrusion in connectors, terminals, and components image Connector mating

image Terminal contact

image High circuit or component resistance - High resistance can include any resistance, regardless of the amount, which can interrupt the operation of the component.

image Harness' that are routed too tight, or chaffed circuits image High or low ambient temperature

image High or low engine coolant temperatures image High underhood temperatures

image Heat build up in component or circuit due to circuit resistance, poor terminal contact, or high electrical load

image High or low system voltage image High vehicle load conditions image Rough road surface

image Electro-magnetic interference (EMI)/circuit interference from relays, solenoids or other electrical surge image Incorrect installation of non-factory, aftermarket, and after factory add on accessories

If an intermittent is detected, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections for specific strategies in diagnosing intermittent conditions.

COOLING FAN INOPERATIVE

Diagnostic Instructions


image Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure. image Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.

image Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.


Circuit/System Description


The engine cooling fan system is composed of one electric cooling fan and a cooling fan control module. The engine control module (ECM) controls the fan speed by sending a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal to the cooling fan control module. The cooling fan control module varies the voltage drop across the cooling fan motor in relation to the pulse width modulated signal, which enables cooling fan operation at variable speeds. The ECM will only operate the cooling fan at certain percentages to prevent undesirable noise and vibration. The cooling fan control module is thermally protected to prevent module damage in the case of a short circuit condition in the cooling fan motor.

Diagnostic Aids


image The cooling fan will not operate when the scan tool Cooling Fan Motor Command parameter displays less than 4 %. This is a normal condition.

image A delay or ramp up of approximately 12 seconds may occur before the cooling fan activates or changes speed when being commanded with a scan tool.

image The cooling fan Control Function operates as described below when the ignition is ON, and engine is OFF:

image Command State 1 operates the cooling fan at approximately 18 % image Command State 2 operates the cooling fan at approximately 54 % image Command State 3 operates the cooling fan at approximately 67 % image Command State 4 operates the cooling fan at approximately 85 % image Command State 5 operates the cooling fan at approximately 90 %

image During normal operating conditions the ECM may initially activate the cooling fan at 4 or 5 % and then increase to the percentages indicated above, as needed, to satisfy powertrain cooling requirements.

Generally, the ECM will operate the cooling fan at the specified percentages but, may scale the percentages either higher or lower in response to generator demand.

image When operating the cooling fan with a scan tool, the Commanded States 1 - 5 should be exercised in order, from OFF to High or High to OFF. The cooling fan control module may disable the cooling fan if a Commanded State is skipped.

ELECTRICALLY HEATED THERMOSTAT DIAGNOSIS

Diagnostic Instructions


image Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure. image Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.

image Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.


Circuit/System Description


The engine cooling system electrically heated thermostat is an integrated part of the thermostat housing. It is not serviced separately. The thermostat contains a wax pellet which expands when electrically energized. The ECM energizes the wax pellet during full load driving, or, when the engine coolant or the ambient temperature is higher. This causes the thermostat to open earlier than it would without electrical assistance.

During normal engine operation, the thermostat begins to open mechanically at 78° C (172° F). When coolant temperature reaches or exceeds 80° C (176° F), the ECM begins to energize the wax pellet to try to maintain coolant temperature at 78° C (172° F).

Diagnostic Aids


image A radiator or AC condenser with bent fins or obstructed air flow passages may cause the engine coolant temperature to be too hot.

image An incorrect engine coolant mixture may cause the engine coolant to boil at low temperature.

image An engine coolant mixture that is contaminated with debris may adversely affect the operation of the cooling system components. Verify that the coolant mixture is not contaminated.

image An engine cooling system that has been incorrectly filled or serviced may have air trapped within the system. If the system contains air, the coolant level may appear to be correct while it is actually incorrect. To avoid misdiagnosis, it may be necessary to verify that no conditions have occurred that may cause the cooling system to contain trapped air.

image For accurate test results, allow the vehicle to stabilize in an environment where ambient temperature is

between 10 - 27° C (50 - 80° F) for 8 hours prior to testing.

Spring Type Hose Clamp Replacement Guidelines


image


Fig. 7: Spring Type Hose Clamps

Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY

Vehicles utilize spring type hose clamps (1) to secure joints in which fluids, gases, or engine vacuum can travel to various vehicle systems. Spring type hose clamps are engineered to provide the proper amount of tension to maintain a leak & maintenance free joint for the life of the vehicle.

Spring type hose clamps have a special coating applied to the exterior of the clamp that is engineered to resist rust/corrosion, improve durability and increase the life of the hose clamp. If the coating is damaged, rust/corrosion could form resulting in the need to replace the hose clamp.

Many spring type hose clamps within GM utilize a small amount of adhesive placed directly on the hose clamp to secure the clamp to the mating hose for manufacturing purposes. Over time the strength of the adhesive will deteriorate. It is extremely important when a technician is attempting to service a joint or remove the hose clamp, that the clamp is not rotated or repositioned so that is tears and/or damages the hose. In this case, the hose and clamp must both be replaced.

When repairing a vehicle it is very important to observe the condition of both the hose and the spring type hose clamp as well as the orientation of the clamp to the hose.

If the spring type hose clamp(s) have any of the following conditions on any area of the clamp, replace the

clamp(s) immediately.

image Rust/Corrosion image Cracks

image Physical damage

image Leakage attributed to the retention of the clamp


Removing The Spring Type Hose Clamp


While keeping the hose stationary, use BO-38185 Hose Clamp Pliers or GE-47622 Hose Clamp Pliers and release the spring type hose clamp tension while attempting to separate the hose clamp from the hose.

image If the spring type hose clamp will not easily separate from the hose and/or the clamp tears or damages the hose, both the hose and hose clamp must be replaced

image If the spring type hose clamp is easily removed from the hose, the clamp can be reused provided that the clamp does not have any of the conditions as noted above.

If The Spring Type Hose Clamp Is Being Reused


It is extremely important that the spring type hose clamp is orientated to the hose in the exact same position as it was installed during vehicle assembly so that the hose clamp is not damaged or the hose clamp does not contact or damage any adjacent components. Do not use any type of adhesive on the hose clamp prior to installation.

When Reusing The Spring Type Hose Clamp and Replacing The Hose

image The inside and outside hose diameter must be identical between the new hose and the existing hose to guarantee proper hose clamp tension and joint integrity.

image Always place the existing spring type hose clamp in the same orientation as it was positioned prior to separating the joint. The new hose might have a marking on the hose indicating the correct position of a hose clamp, which should re-confirm the correct hose clamp position. The hose clamp should not contact any adjacent components after installation.

When Reusing The Spring Type Hose Clamp with an Existing Hose

Always place the existing spring type hose clamp in the same orientation as it was positioned prior to separating the joint. The existing hose might have an indentation or compression mark on the hose from where the hose clamp was installed previously. The hose clamp should identically overlay this position. The existing hose might also have a marking on the hose indicating the correct position of the hose clamp, which should re- confirm the correct hose clamp position. The hose clamp should not contact any adjacent components after installation.

If The Spring Type Hose Clamp Is Being Replaced


If the hose clamp needs to be replaced, always replace the hose as part of the service repair. It is extremely important that a new spring type hose clamp is orientated to the hose in the exact same position as it was installed during vehicle assembly so that the hose clamp is not damaged or the hose clamp does not contact or damage any adjacent components. Do not use any type of adhesive on the hose clamp prior to installation.

FLUSHING


NOTE: image This procedure is intended for the engine cooling system only. Never use this procedure to flush the hybrid cooling system.

image When the cooling system becomes contaminated, the cooling system should be flushed thoroughly to remove the contaminants before the engine is seriously damaged.

image This procedure is effective in removing contaminants caused by the use of improper coolants, coolant at the end of its life, or some liquid chemical flushing agents. This procedure is NOT effective for removing debris contamination caused by component failure, or the use of 'stop leak' additives. When the system is contaminated by this type of debris, use the

system flow diagrams to identify components that may need replacement to restore proper system flow.

image Do not use chemical flush agents.

image Store used coolant in the proper manner, such as in a used engine coolant holding tank. Do not pour used coolant down a drain. Ethylene glycol antifreeze is a very toxic chemical. Do not dispose of coolant into the sewer system or ground water. This is illegal and ecologically unsound.

image Various methods and equipment can be used to flush the cooling system.

Cooling Fan Control


The engine cooling fan(s) system is composed of 2 electric cooling fan(s), 2 fan motor(s) and 2 control module. The Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2 controls the fan speed by sending a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal to the cooling fan control module(s). The cooling fan control module(s) varies the voltage drop across the cooling fan motor(s) in relation to the pulse width modulated signal, which allows the cooling fan(s) to operate at variable speeds.

The cooling fan speed is effected by many different conditions and the Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2 will adjust the duty cycle from 0 - 100 percent based on cooling system requirements. The scan tool output control is only capable of operating the cooling fan(s) increments, between 10 - 90 percent. 90 percent is considered high speed fan. When multiple cooling fan speed requests are received, the Hybrid/EV Powertrain

Control Module 2 operates the fan(s) at the highest of speed requests. The ECM commands the fans ON under the following conditions:

image The engine coolant temperature is warmer than a predetermined temperature. image The engine oil temperature is warmer than a predetermined temperature.

image The A/C pressure reaches a predetermined pressure.

image If the engine coolant temperature at key-off is warmer than a predetermined value, or the A/C pressure is greater than a predetermined value, the cooling fan(s) will operate at a low speed. The fan(s) will shut OFF if the temperature or pressure drops below the predetermined value, but will only operate for 2 minutes, regardless of the coolant temperature or A/C pressure.

Cooling System Electronic Component Description and Operation


Engine or Radiator Coolant Temperature Sensor

The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor or radiator coolant temperature (RCT) sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the engine or radiator coolant. The ECM supplies 5 V to the sensor signal circuit and a ground for the low reference circuit.

Engine Coolant Thermostat Heater

The ECM controls the pulse width modulated (PWM) thermostat heater circuit. The engine coolant thermostat heater helps control coolant flow and regulates the engine operating temperature. The ignition relay supplies 12 V to the thermostat through a fuse. The ECM controls the engine coolant thermostat heater by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled-up to a voltage. The ECM can determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage.

COOLING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

This vehicle is equipped with three fully independent cooling systems. The power electronics cooling system is dedicated to cooling the battery charger and the power inverter module. The battery cooling system is dedicated to cooling and heating the high voltage battery. The engine cooling system is dedicated to cooling the engine and providing heat to the passenger compartment.

Engine Cooling System Description and Operation


The engine cooling system consists of a radiator, two 12 volt pulse width modulated (PWM) radiator fans, a 12 volt coolant pump, a coolant flow control valve, a high voltage heater and a heater core.

image


Fig. 117: Hybrid Cooling System Chart Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY

The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 controls the radiator cooling fans. The cooling fans are controlled with a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 diagnoses any faults with the hardwire circuit to the engine control module. The engine control module sends a fan request PWM signal to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 through a hardwire circuit. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 operates in a pass-through mode for the engine control module fan request. The higher the duty cycle the higher the cooling fan speed.

The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 sends a request to the engine control module for the cooling fans to be turned on. The engine control module uses this request and other vehicle inputs to decide if and what speed the cooling fans should operate. The engine control module sends the cooling fan command to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 sends the signal to the cooling fans to operate and at what speed.

If the vehicle is in Charge Mode and the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 requests the cooling fans to operate, if the engine control module is not awake, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 will control the cooling fans. If active cooling is needed, the engine control module wakes up to operate the air conditioning control module and then the engine control module is the master controller for the fans.


image


Fig. 118: Engine Cooling System Flow Chart Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY

The HVAC Control Module turns on the coolant pump and monitors the temperature sensors in the passenger compartment, engine radiator, high voltage heater and the engine to determine the position of the coolant flow control valve and if the high voltage heater is needed. Passenger compartment heat is provided by air flowing through the heater core. The heater core is heated by coolant from either the engine or the high voltage heater.

The engine cooling system circulates a 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and distilled water.
