There is a plastic overflow container on the inner fender liner, on the passenger side, under the hood. That is where you fill it, the fluid flows into the radiator as needed.
radiator hold so much fluid engine block holds so much fluid and the resevoir holds so much fluid turn car on let warm open radiator cap when the engine gets warm you will start seeing the fluid move fill till radiator fills up simple might just need to reset the DtC's
IF IT DOESN'T HAVE A RADIATOR CAP, THERE WILL BE AN OVERFLOW UNIT NEAR IT WITH A LID ON TOP! THE HOSE WILL RUN TO THE TOP SIDE OF RADIATOR! YOU CAN FILL IT THERE!
make sure your engine cooling fan is working, check to see if your thermostat is staying closed and not allowing circulation in your engine, do this by squeezing the radiator hose when the car is hot, if it is hard to squeeze the thermostat is most likely the issue
If you can't remove all the air by filling while running with heater on hot, there is a possibility that you have a leaking cylinder head gasket (pressure from there will fill the cooling system and displace coolant) To test, have a shop do a hydrocarbon test on the radiator. Hope I'm wrong, but quite often on those I'm not.
hi jasso, I would recommend checking the water pump if you see no flow in the radiator. Make sure when you fill up the cooling system, that you fill it cold, and that the vent screw in the radiator is loose. fill system until fluid comes out the vent screw. tighten the screw, start the car and have someone run at 1500rpm and check for flow.also, make sure that you have your temp setting full hot and blower on middle speed so that you don't trap air in the heater core.
take cap off fill the radiator and coolant reservoir up then start the car with the rad cap off you will see it burp fill up wait fill up again/ thenafter its done burping you can put caps back on that should be it/ Please rate my response thank you very much
