Overheating

Good afternoon.

The first thing I would consider is the thermostat. If it is stuck shut, there will be no circulation at all.

Does the cooling fan work when it gets hot? If it is not, no cool air is being drawn in to cool off the radiator.

I would start with the thermostat first as I stated. That may be the entire issue.

Thermostat Replacement:
1. Make sure you have the anti-theft codes for the radio and navigation system, then write down the customer's radio station presets and XM radio channel presets. Make sure the ignition switch is off
2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery first, then the positive cable.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Drain the engine coolant.

5. Remove the thermostat cover, then remove the thermostat.
6. Install the thermostat with a new rubber seal.
7. Install the battery. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper, then assemble them and apply grease to prevent corrosion.
8. Refill the radiator with engine coolant, then bleed air from the cooling system.
9. Clean up any spilled engine coolant.
10. Reset the power window control unit.
11. Enter the anti-theft codes for the radio and the navigation system, then enter the customer's radio station presets and XM radio channel presets.
12. Set the clock.
