Sistema de refrigeración parte 3: Mangueras y Tubos, Codigo 89 y códigos DTC del sistema

Cooling System Overview

Introduction to the Cooling System

• The video introduces the third part of a series on vehicle cooling systems, focusing on hoses and tubes.

• It aims to provide useful information regarding overheating indicators in vehicles.

Hoses and Tubes in the Cooling System

• Discusses the output hose from the reservoir, part number 96 95 82 01, and its corresponding input hose with part number 96 98 37 40.

• Describes two main hoses at the radiator: one for entry (part number 96 95 81 95) and another for exit (part number 96 95 81 48).

Thermostat and Acceleration Body Hoses

• Details a hose that connects from the thermostat to the acceleration body, emphasizing its routing through various engine components.

• Mentions another hose that exits from the acceleration body, connecting back to the reservoir's input.

Importance of Hose Maintenance

• Advises against omitting certain hoses in tropical climates despite potential flexibility; emphasizes their role in maintaining temperature.

• Notes that when replacing thermostats, it's crucial to also replace related hoses due to material degradation over time.

Identifying Cooling System Failures

Overheating Indicators

• Explains how vehicles indicate cooling system failures through dashboard alerts or codes like code '89', signaling high coolant temperatures.

Common Issues Related to Code '89'

• Highlights that while many assume code '89' indicates a faulty thermostat, it’s essential to perform a full scan of vehicle diagnostics for accurate identification.

Diagnostic Codes Explained

• Discusses additional diagnostic codes such as P00B3 and P00B4 which relate to sensor readings at different locations within the cooling system.

Flow Issues in Coolant Circulation

• Introduces code P00B7 indicating inadequate coolant flow due to possible obstructions or issues with hoses or radiators.

Troubleshooting Steps

Initial Checks for Obstructions

• Recommends checking for air pockets in the system, debris blocking airflow at the radiator front, and ensuring proper function of water pump belts.

Further Investigations

• Suggest reviewing electrical connections between relays and computer systems if other checks do not resolve issues.

Understanding the Cooling System of Vehicles

Key Components and Diagnostics

• The system indicates potential issues with the motor fan's resistance if codes PSC 0, 597, or 599 do not appear; this suggests checking the thermostat as it may not be providing readings.

• If code PP 21 81 is absent, it implies that the system's performance is inconsistent, necessitating a thorough review to identify faults.

• A red warning light for coolant temperature on the dashboard does not mean immediate engine damage; rather, it signals a risk of overheating due to high temperatures being monitored by sensors.

• When the warning light activates, it's crucial to stop the vehicle immediately and inspect the cooling system to prevent engine damage from overheating risks.

Steps for Checking Cooling System

• First check coolant levels and look for leaks in hoses. Next, ensure that quality coolant is used instead of water.

• Inspect the radiator for obstructions caused by dirt and confirm there are no leaks in hoses or components like the water pump or thermostat base.

• Verify that the motor's resistance is properly connected. A faulty head gasket can trigger warning lights without necessarily indicating overheating.

Diagnosing Thermostat Issues

• It's essential to learn how to diagnose thermostats effectively since many mechanics attribute failures solely to them based on code 89.

• Using a multimeter can help check thermostat functionality: ensure you receive 12 volts when turning on ignition; less than this indicates wiring issues.

• Connect multimeter leads at specified terminals; readings should range between 16 and 21 ohms. Values below this suggest system failure leading to code 89 activation.

Importance of Quality Coolant

• Poor-quality coolants can lead to sediment buildup affecting thermostat operation. Using recommended long-life coolants prevents such issues by maintaining proper boiling points (above 180°C).
