Diagnostic Fault Information

Buick Enclave. Engine Heating and Cooling

Circuit/System Description

The engine cooling fan system consists of a cooling fan assembly containing two electric cooling fans. The engine control module (ECM) uses two fan control circuits and a series of three relays to command the fans ON in either high speed or low speed, depending on cooling requirements. The ECM activates the applicable relay by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. Each 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. In low speed, both fans are turned ON at a reduced speed. High speed has both fans turned ON at full speed.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The commanded state of the ECM driver and the actual state of the control circuit do not match for greater than 5 seconds.

SYMPTOMS - ENGINE COOLING

Important Preliminary Inspections Before Starting

Before using the Symptom diagnosis, perform the following:

Review the entire cooling system operation in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. Refer to Cooling Fan Description and Operation and 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:

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:

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:

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

THERMOSTAT DIAGNOSIS

Tools Required

The coolant thermostat can be tested using a temperature (tempil) stick. The temperature stick is a pencil-like device which has a wax material containing certain chemicals that melt at a given temperature. Temperature sticks can be used to determine a thermostat's operating range by rubbing 87ºC (188ºF) and 97ºC (206ºF) sticks on the outlet coolant pipe.

1. Use a tempilstick in order to find the opening and the closing temperatures of the thermostat.

2. Replace the thermostat if it does not operate properly between this temperature range.

COOLANT HEATER INOPERATIVE

Diagnostic Instructions

Circuit/System Description

The coolant heater operates using 110 V AC external power and is designed to warm the coolant in the engine block area for improved starting in very cold weather. The coolant heater also helps reduce fuel consumption when a cold engine is warming up. The unit is equipped with a detachable AC power cord. There is an internal thermal switch in the coolant heater cord that prevents operation above -18ºC (0ºF). A weather shield on the cord is provided to protect the plug when not in use.

PRESSURE CAP TESTING

Special Tools

Pressure Cap Testing

1. Remove the pressure cap.

CAUTION: 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.

2. Wash the pressure cap sealing surface with water.

3. Use the J 24460-01 cooling system pressure tester (1) with J 42401 radiator cap/surge tank test adapter (2) in order to test the pressure cap.

Fig. 2: Identifying Pressure Cap Testing Tool J 42401

IMPORTANT: Lubricate J-42401 and pressure cap o-rings with coolant and press cap to seat o-ring on J-42401 before turning to engage threads.

4. Test the pressure cap for the following conditions:

5. Replace the pressure cap under the following conditions:

COOLING SYSTEM LEAK TESTING

Special Tools

1. Remove the pressure cap.

WARNING: Under pressure, the temperature of the solution in the radiator can be considerably higher, without boiling. Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot (pressure is high), will cause the solution to boil instantaneously, with explosive force. The solution will spew out over the engine, fenders and the person removing the cap.

Serious bodily injury may result. Flammable antifreeze, such as alcohol, is not recommended for use at any time. Flammable antifreeze could cause a serious fire.

WARNING: In order to help avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and the radiator are hot. Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure if the cap is removed too soon.

2. Test the operation of the pressure cap. Refer to Pressure Cap Testing.

3. Use the J-24460-01 tester in order to apply pressure to the cooling system.

Buick Enclave. Engine Heating and Cooling
Fig. 3: Pressure Testing Cooling System Using J 24460-01

Do not exceed the pressure cap rating.

4. The cooling system should hold the rated pressure for at least 2 minutes.

Observe the gauge for any pressure loss.

5. Repair any leaks as required.
