Description and Operation
03 ENGINE > 03 ENGINE COOLING
Document
Overview:

The cooling system contains the High Temperature System (HTS), the Low Temperature System (LTS), and the Driveline Cooling System (DCS). 

The three cooling system subassemblies use the same fill point on the coolant reservoir. The full cooling system has a capacity of approximately 29.7 litres, and has a mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% demineralised water.  

The cooling system has an operating range from ambient pressure to 1.8 Bar. The coolant pressure cap opens at 1.8 Bar. The wax thermostat starts to open at 82.5°C and is fully open at 92°C.

High Temperature System (HTS):

The HTS is a cooling system for the engine assembly, engine oil, turbo assemblies, and HVAC system.  

Fig.1. HTS Schematic: 

Fig.2. HTS System: 

Heat exchangers connected to the HTS include the HTS central radiator, right side auxiliary radiator, and the engine oil cooler. 

The HTS system has two pumps. The first is a mechanical water pump operated by the FEAD belt. The second is an electric pierburg-type run-on pump.  

The run-on pump has two functions: 

  • To make the turbo assemblies cool after engine shutdown.
  • To help the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system during low engine speed.

The run-on pump is controlled by switching supply from the HVAC Module [HVAC] through Body-CAN. The operation of the run-on pump is on or off only. 

The run-on pump is set to on when the engine is on. At engine shutdown, the engine management system (EMS) uses the modelled temperature of the turbocharger assemblies to select the correct run-on time. This instruction is sent to the HVAC module, which operates the turbo run-on pump. 

The temperature for the turbocharger assemblies is calculated from exhaust temperatures and coolant temperature at engine shutdown. 

When the engine is shutdown, the run-on pump operates as follows: 

Modelled turbocharger assembly temp (°C) Run-on time (seconds) Run-on time (seconds)
199.960 0
499.960 600
799.960 1800
899.960 1800

 

Low Temperature System (LTS):

The LTS is a cooling system for the Water-Air Charge Air Coolers (WACAC). Heat exchangers that are connected to the LTS include the LTS central radiator and the left side auxiliary radiator

Fig.3. LTS Schematic: 

Fig.4. LTS System: 

The LTS has two electric pump modules (see Notes) which are controlled by Engine Control Module 1 [ECM1] through generator and cooling pumps LIN [ECM-LIN].  

The LTS electric pumps are connected to ECM1 through the water pump link harness, forward harness, and the engine harness

Caution: The LTS electric pumps look almost the same but they are not interchangeable. They are programmed to let the Engine Management System (EMS) identify the applicable pump and operate it correctly. EMS cannot identify if the applicable electric pump is installed in an incorrect location. The left side LTS electric pump can be identified by a blue mark on the body of the pump. The right side LTS pump can be identified by a white mark on the body of the pump.

To calculate when the two LTS pumps must operate, the ECM1 monitors data from the MAF sensor and the TMAP sensor on the intake manifold.  

When the vehicle is moving, the inputs that follow are used to set duty cycle of the two LTS pumps: 

  • The intake manifold air temperature
  • The intake manifold airflow
  • The ambient air temperature

When the vehicle is stopped, the two LTS pumps operate as follows: 

Engine coolant temperature (°C) Pump duty (%)
75.0 0.0
90.0 0.0
95.25 25.0
99.75 34.9976
110.25 50.0
120.0 50.0

 

Water-Air Charge Air Coolers (WACAC): TO MOVE TO 03.12

The WACAC assemblies are water-cooled type heat exchangers or intercoolers. They remove heat from the air intake system.  

Each WACAC assembly has a Temperature and Manifold Absolute Pressure (TMAP) sensor.  

The TMAP sensor for the left side WACAC is TMAP2, and this sends data to ECM2 through the engine harness. The TMAP sensor for the right side WACAC is TMAP1, and this sends data to ECM1 through the engine harness. 

 

Driveline Cooling System:

The DCS is a cooling system for the transmission assembly and axle assembly. Heat exchangers that are connected to the DCS include the DCS radiator, and the transmission oil cooler. 

Fig.5. DCS Schematic: 

Fig.6. DCS System: 

Coolant is also supplied to the transmission assembly through a water jacket. 

The DCS has one electric pump (see Notes), which is controlled by Engine Control Module 1 [ECM1] through generator and cooling pumps LIN [ECM-LIN]. It is connected to ECM1 through the transmission harness, cabin harness, forward harness, and the engine harness. 

The DCS pump operates as follows: 

Off Variable On/Full
Transmission oil temp. <90°C <90-100°C >100°C
Axle oil temp. <130°C <130-150°C >150°C *

* Operation is the same after engine shutdown. 

Caution: The DCS electric pump looks almost the same as the LTS electric pumps, but they are not interchangeable. They are programmed to let the Engine Management System (EMS) identify the applicable pump and operate it correctly. EMS cannot identify if the applicable electric pump is installed in an incorrect location. The DCS electric pump can be identified by a yellow mark on the body of the pump.

The temperature sensor for the transmission oil, and the temperature sensor for the axle oil send data to ECM1. They are connected to ECM1 through the transmission harness, cabin harness, forward harness, and the engine harness. 

See 07-00 Transmission for more information. 

 

Central Cooling Fan (CFF) module:

There is a single 515 mm diameter cooling fan module. This has a 1000w motor, which is controlled by ECM1 through generator and cooling pumps LIN [ECM-LIN].  

The CCF module is connected to ECM1 through the forward harness and the engine harness. 

The CCF module operates as follows: 

Off Variable On/Full
Engine coolant temp. <95°C, and/or vehicle speed ≥120mph. 95-102°C >102°C, and vehicle speed <120mph. *
WACAC air outlet temp. ≤40°C, and/or vehicle speed ≥120mph. 40-60°C -
Transmission oil temp. <90°C, and/or vehicle speed ≥120mph. 90-120°C >120°C, and vehicle speed <120mph.
Axle oil temp. <140°C, and/or vehicle speed ≥120mph. 140-175°C >175°C, and vehicle speed <120mph. *

*Operation is the same after engine shutdown.  

 

Coolant level sensor:

The location of the engine coolant level sensor is in the middle of the coolant reservoir. It is connected to the body controller front [BC_F] module through the forward harness, cabin harness and fascia harness. 

 

Coolant temperature sensor:

The location of the coolant temperature sensor is at the top of the thermostat housing. It is connected to engine control module 1 [ECM1] through the engine harness. 

 

Notes, cautions and warnings:

You must obey the notes, cautions and warnings in the workshop manual, where applicable, as these contain very important information.
