2014 Dodge Durango Limited 2014 ENGINE Cooling System - Durango drain, flush, and replace with fresh properly mixed coolant solution, DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLANT CONCENTRATION TESTING Coolant concentration should be checked when any additional coolant was added to system or after a coolant drain, flush and refill. The coolant mixture offers optimum engine cooling and protection against corrosion when mixed to a freeze point of -37°C (-34°F) to -46°C (-50°F). The a hydrometer or a refractometer can be used to test coolant concentration. A hydrometer will test the amount of glycol in a mixture by measuring the specific gravity of the mixture. The higher the concentration of ethylene-glycol, the larger the number of balls that will float, and higher the freeze protection (up to a maximum of 60% by volume glycol). A refractometer, Tool (special tool #8286, Refractometer). Refer to SPECIAL TOOLS. Some coolant manufactures use other types of glycols into their coolant formulations. Propylene- glycol is the most common new coolant. However, propylene-glycol based coolants do not provide the same freezing protection and corrosion protection and is not recommended. CAUTION: Do not mix types of coolant - corrosion protection will be severely reduced, FAN, COOLING DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION 3.6L/5.7L WITHOUT MAX COOLING2014 Dodge Durango Limited 2014 ENGINE Cooling System - Durango Fig. 33: Cooling Fan Module Components Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC ‘The 350W radiator cooling fan used on the 3.6L/5.7L engines is an electrical fan and is integral to the fan shroud (1). The motor is control by two relays that control the high and the low speeds. 3.6L/5.7L WITH MAX COOLING Fig. 34: Cooling Fan Motor Assembly Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC The 850W cooling fan is integrated into the fan shroud and is located between the radiator (1) and the engine. The fan is controlled by a duty cycle signal from the PCM. The signal is sent the cooling fan control module located on the cooling fan motor assembly. The module deciphers the signal and controls the fan motor to set the speed required for sufficient cooling OPERATION OPERATION STANDARD COOLING FAN STRATEG2014 Dodge Durango Limited 2014 ENGINE Cooling System - Durango Fig. 35: Cooling Fan Module Components Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC The radiator cooling fan used on the engines replaces the engine driven mechanical fan and the hydraulically controlled fan. This provides cooling at 350 watts to the light duty cooling systems on the vehicles. Helps in reducing unnecessary power drain on both the engine and the vehicles electrical system while keeping the NVH of the fan low. The cooling fan is controlled by the PCM. A ground signal from the PCM is provide for the LOW fan relay. If the conditions are required for additional cooling. The PCM provides a ground to the HIGH relay There are three inputs to the PCM that determine what speed percentage of fan is required by the vehicle. These inputs are’ + Engine Coolant Temperature + Transmission Oil Temperature « AIC System Pressure By monitoring these three parameters, the PCM can determine if cooling airflow is required. If airflow is required, the PCM will ground the required fan relay until the parameter(s) are under control. Once the temperature is reduced to within operating parameters the fan will ramp up or ramp down to maintain the temperature requirements. MAX COOLING FAN STRATEGY2014 Dodge Durango Limited 2014 ENGINE Cooling System - Durango Fig. 36: Cooling Fan Motor Assembly Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC The radiator cooling fan used on the engines replaces the engine driven mechanical fan and the hydraulically controlled fan. This provides max cooling at 850 watts to the vehicles that require the additional cooling The radiator cooling fan is controlled by the PCM. A PWM (Pulse With Modulated) signal from the PCM controls the fan speed. There are three inputs to the PCM that determine what speed percentage of fan is required by the vehicle, These inputs are: + Engine Coolant Temperature « Transmission Oil Temperature + AC System Pressure By monitoring these three parameters, the PCM can determine if cooling airflow is required. If airflow is required, the PCM will send a signal to the fan module to slowly ramp up (speed up) the fan speed until the parameter(s) are under control. Once the temperature is reduced to within operating parameters the fan will ramp up, ramp down, or hold its speed to maintain the temperature Tequirements, while reducing unnecessary power drain on both the engine and the vehicles electrical system and keeping the NVH of the fan low. ACTIVATING THE FAN WITH THE SCAN TOOL Under the Engine Systems test heading, there is a subheading. "Fan solenoid test’, that has the selections, on/off. Activating the fan with the scan tool will run the fan at a limited 72% duty cycle, which will help troubleshoot any system problems, and also help with the deaeration procedure. NOTE: Engine doesn't need to be running to activate the fan with the scan tool.2014 Dodge Durango Limited 2014 ENGINE Cooling System - Durango DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ELECTRIC RADIATOR FAN The powertrain control module (PCM) will enter a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in memory if it detects a problem in the auxiliary cooling fan relay or circuit. Refer to DESCRIPTION If the electric cooling fan is inoperative, Check the fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) with a 12 volt test lamp or DVOM. Refer to the inside of the cover for the exact location of the fuse. If fuses are okay, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article for the cooling fan and relay circuit schematic.
