Diagnosis And Testing; Preliminary Checks - Chrysler 2005 Crossfire SRT6 Service Manual

ZH
Supercharged vehicles (if equipped) have additional cooling system components. The Charge Air Cooler (2), Charge
Air Cooler Radiator (3), Charge Air Cooler Circulation Pump (4), and all related hoses make up the charge air cooler
cooling system. The charge air cooler system operates independent of the engine cooling system. The Charge Air
Cooler Circulation Pump is mounted to the side of the Charge Air Cooler Radiator. The pump is used to circulate
coolant between the Charge Air Cooler and the Charge Air Cooler Radiator. The only common link between the two
systems is the Coolant Recovery Reservoir (1). Both systems use the coolant reservoir as their source of coolant.
